Crappy Sheets!

October 2nd, 2011 at 07:27 pm

Well honestly they're sh---y sheets!

Andiamo brand.
Ours were the 500ct 100% Egyptian Cotton.

DO NOT BUY!
------
Perhaps you all remember that DH was very sweet and bought a new set of sheets at the Linen Outlet's going-out-of-business sale a few weeks back. ($54) I was not impressed with them, but I figured we'd just use them. Couldn't return them for money back anyway because of the store closing.

After using these sheets for a month they are pilling all over the fitted sheet. I can only explain it like it feels as if I've got kitty litter or sand on my sheet. Blah! And the elastic is rather thin and does a poor job keeping the sheet in place.

I stopped at the store this morning and asked if they could do anything because these were the worst sheets I've EVER owned.

The head gal was like, "Oh no we can't do anything if you've USED the sheets. And, gee, I've never had anyone complain about that brand. You must have gotten a bad one."
"So maybe I did get a bad set. The store can't help me out with that?" I said.
She said, "No because you have already USED the sheets. All I can say is maybe you want to use a different brand in the future."

YEAH, YOU THINK!!!

I thought about sending DH in with them. I still have the zipper package they came in. Maybe he could get something done. I also thought about sitting out front of the store and telling people not to buy any of their crappy stuff. That might work, but then I'm using my time on a Sunday when I would rather be with my kids, watch football, drink coffee and be on the computer! Big Grin

    Nothing worse than uncomfortable sheets! Sorry they didnt make it right for you- perhaps their service is one of the reasons they are going out of business. Frown

    How do you know if they're crappy sheets if you haven't used them? Why would you return them brand new? Dumb. I would certainly expect 500 ct. sheets to be comfortable. Sorry you got taken.

    I don't think I'd take the clerk's response as final say. $ 54. is worth a 2nd visit. Get in touch with the store manager, regional manager if it's a chain, outlining date of purchase, brand and details from tag or packaging.

    Either the product is faulty or not as detailed. Cotton doesn't pil, poor quality polyester pils to the point of uncomfortable. Pleasant but firm, tell the individual what you want to rectify the problem. [money back, CC credit etc.] You will have a stronger argument by checking Epinions.com or RipoofReport or consumersaffairs.com.

    If you are stuck with the annoying sheets, using a comb like instrument typically used to remove pils from sweaters, takes time but is effective. You will likely have to repeat the process after each of the next two or three washes but eventually the short fibers will be removed.

    Good luck

    Ray - Yeah, I can't imagine their service keeping customers.
    CB - Totally!
    Snafu - Thanks for all the great advice! I am planning to try again.
