F Read the product review. Then read the questions and choose the correct answers.
Imperfect goods 

I recently purchased a pair of fishing boots from your website. At first, I was hesitant as I’ve had bad
experiences ordering fishing gear online in the past. I’m a serious fisherman, and my fishing equipment gets
used pretty heavily. So I didn’t want to buy anything cheap or second-rate and was willing to spend good
money on a quality product. I read the online reviews of the boots. They were all very enthusiastic, and this is
what convinced me to finally buy them. Unfortunately, those reviews have not turned out to be trustworthy.
Basically, everything in those reviews or in your advertisements has turned out to either be misleading or
completely untrue. First, the photos on your website show that the boots go above the knee, which is important
when you’re wading in a foot or two of water. The boots I received barely go halfway up my calf. So while they
are technically waterproof, that’s only true as long as you are standing in no more than a few inches of water.
The lining of the boots was another disappointment. I read review after review talking about how warm and
comfortable the lining was. That was certainly true at the start. The first couple of times I wore the boots they
felt great. But the lining quickly started to come apart. I’m honestly shocked that you would use such inferior
materials.
Really, about the only part of the online reviews that was accurate was all the praise for the delivery service.
Delivery was fast and on time, but given all the problems with these boots, that doesn’t really matter. I know
that your website clearly states that you do not accept returns, but I hope that you will make an exception
to that policy and provide me with a full refund. I think it would also be helpful if you corrected some of the
misleading information on your website so that customers had a better idea of what they are actually buying.
Sincerely,
Dave Curtis
