Would love to know if anyone has bought a strap from this company.

On Monday I ordered a replica Apple sport loop and I was charged and got an email confirmation....but no shipment confirmed yet. I sent them an email today to ask the status as I thought protocol dictates that they don’t charge before shipping

The band cost $14 but now I’m wondering if I’ll get scammed. I did pay via paypal so guess I could dispute.

That’s what I get for trying to save and going third party.

Thanks

I’ve never bought from them but pretty sure they just mark-up Chinese knockoffs tenfold.

You’re likely right.....I complained via their Instagram site and of course got a response and tracking number. Will wait to see what I get.

Just an update: still haven’t gotten the item and beginning to wonder if I’ve been scammed. Tracking number shows it hasn’t gone anywhere.

I’ll likely dispute with PayPal but wanted to warn others. The seller hasn’t returned my emails

After close to 3 weeks I got the band. Decent quality but longer in length by about an inch compared to the Apple official sport loop. Pretty sure I’ll be sticking to Apple bands but it was an interesting experiment.
