GPM Leather Bag Poor quality for the price Wallingford Connecticut

I saw this purse advertised on TV. Went to a website and ordered it. The order hung up at the end and is, in fact, still stuck on "verifying order."

I received the purse and was disappointed at the quality for $38.90 which included $29.95 for the "leather" purse and postage/shipping. It only has a flimsy magnet snap to hold the purse closed and items have fallen out when the magnet opens.

I noticed recently that there are several spots on the purse where the "leather" is worn through - and I have had it less than 2 months - ordered it July 2, 2008.

I have tried, unsuccessfully, to contact these people to ask for a replacement. They do not seem to be accessible. I looked up the address given in one of the Ripoff Reports and neither the street nor the phone number provides any information.

This is a pretty crappy items for almost $40 and any future items of this type will be purchased "hands on" so I can determine the quality. I thought Buxton would be a good brand, but I was wrong.
