              Status:
              Resolved
              I bought a sweater that was a clearance item. It said final sale. I used my $25 reward amount and paid the balance off. I was shocked when I received the sweater. It was sewn inside out. The right side looks like some of the black thread shows through. My guess is, it was sewn inside out to hide the flaw. When I tried it on my husband started laughing and said "you put it on inside out". I expected so much more from Talbots. When you select quick view, it doesn't show the reviews. I went back to read the reviews. Talbots has known for at least 2 years that this sweater was sewn inside out per the many reviews stating as much. Yet they kept selling this defective sweater. Final sale should not be an excuse to dump defective items on a customer. ******************** item # *******. I want to return this item and get my $30.99 back, including my $25 reward coupon!!!!! It's not a large amount but it's the principle. p.s. I'm a knitter, so I know the difference.

              I walked into Talbots in *******, *************************, and the store clerks were so interested in their return customers they did not even know I was in the store. I found that their customer service and selling skills are below average. I am a Store Manager from ***********, ** and It was very bad. No hello, how are you doing, or even can I help you? Was it because I was a Black women???????That is the 1st and last time I will ever step foot in that Talbotts store, they are definately raciest !!!!!
