I am the buyer in this transaction. I accept the responsibility of not knowing the written rule here being very new here. I also am aware of the rule of forums.
True, I did went to Nordstrom and was fitted with a brannock device and was suggested by the salesmen for an 8E. I proceeded to order an 8E.
True, I did not like the color after seeing them in person.
I accept responsibility for the above.
Allaboutshoes, were selling the shoes not as private sale but as discounted, brand new, straight from the factory to him to customer merchandises. A certain level of customer service is expected. I mentioned the lack of return/replacement policy in his thread before he made the edit. He then mentioned the B&S rules (I checked and didn't find any) which he changed to unwritten rules.
While I can live with the color, I can't with the size. My feet stopped growing 25 years ago.
We went back and forth about this. He even suggested for me to open a thread, which I did, so the senior members can put their opinion with regards to the unwritten rule. Somebody mentioned paypal but I don't want to go through that. My father told me, everything can be resolved between two gentlemen.
There is another way to handle this which won't cost the vendor anything. AE is willing to accept a return and have it replaced. All they want is the vendor's account name. He refused to do it. He insist on his offer of 15% restocking fee.
I am not trying to dupe anyone here. I know I made a mistake about the sizing. I did tried to find a way to get it settled so it won't cost the vendor anything and minimal cost to me. I did he refuses to cooperate.
