Adventure Cuff

Two of my friends have ordered these adventure cuffs from etsy a while back. They are customizable in that you can put a custom quote on it. I really liked the ones my friends had so I decided to get some for myself. So there are two options for the cuff: brass and silver. I decided to get one of each. The silver cuff was $25 and the brass cuff was $15. Shipping was $5 each, so $10 in total, which is a bit ridiculous but I was like whatever.

Then the troubles started. I ordered the item on October 9. The page said ready to ship in 1-2 weeks. I messaged after two weeks inquiring the status of my order. No reply. I sent another message through etsy two days later. No reply. I even messaged her hotmail, no reply. I then opened an etsy case and only then did she finally reply to my messages. I opened this case October 28. The package was listed as shipped on etsy on October 3. However, the status did not change for days. I looked it up on the USPS site and the status means a shipping label was printed out, not necessarily that the package was given to the USPS for delivery. I then messaged the seller through the case about this on November 4 and only then did the seller actually ship the item. I then received the package on November 7, almost a month later.





They came in these cute little bags. The cuffs themselves are very nice and fit nicely on my wrist. They are also bendable so the size can be manipulated to your liking. The silver cuff is much thicker and stiffer than the brass cuff. For some reason, both cuffs were very dirty. I wiped them quite a bit when I received them and had black residue all over my fingers. Not sure what that was all about. I did have to manipulate the cuffs quite a bit to fit the shape of my wrist. However now they fit perfectly!

The silver cuff says "Truth x Ideals" and the brass cuff says "Never tell me the odds". Kudos to you who know where those come from. I do love the cuffs but because of the whole experience, I would probably never buy from this seller again nor recommend that others do if she continues in this state. Etsy does offer a variety of sellers that offer customizable cuffs. I will most likely order from a different seller in the future.
