I didn't like how the headbands I have left red marks on Arden's head, so a few months ago I started doing some research. I found that nylon headbands were the way to go, specifically interchangeable nylon headbands. They have a little ribbon you can attach a clip/bow to. I went on eBay and looked for the best deal. A week before Easter, I purchased 24 headbands for $24. I know...a bit excessive. I asked the seller a bunch of questions before I bought them. As soon as I bought and paid for them, she sent me an email saying she was a little bit behind. In the item description, she said most orders shipped within 72 hours of purchase. So I'm thinking what does "a little behind" mean. A couple weeks went by and still no headbands. When I contacted her, she asked for my info again. She said she was having problems because her mother just died. I used to work at a funeral home, so I know the kinds of things she was going through. I took it easy on her and waited some more. Two more weeks passed...no headbands. I contacted her...more excuses. I really do feel for her. I don't think she's scamming me. She claims to have shipped them out to me three different times. This has been going on since before Easter, and I still don't have her headbands. Can someone really have this much bad luck with the USPS? According to her feedback, other people are having the same problems I am. I don't think she's on eBay anymore...I can't find her profile. The last time I heard from her was on Thursday. She said the tracking to my package said "In Transit." Whatever...maybe I'll get three more sets of headbands tomorrow.
Anywho, I went ahead and bought 16 nylon headbands from someone else on eBay. I got them within a week. They're great! I bought all sorts of bows at Walmart, and I even bought some butterflies to make clips with. Now Arden can wear a headband, with or without a bow, everyday without me feeling guilty about her sweet little head.
Check out the cuteness!

I think you were totally scammed!
Maybe so...I don't know why I'm still trying to give her the benefit of the doubt! She had good feedback up until a month or so ago...ah well...
