I found a deal on Living Social which I thought was great.
It was for an L-Pad which is supposed to be  similar to an iPad but for toddlers.  When I saw this deal, I immediately thought of my nephew who is curious and loves to play with phones, iPads, and laptops.  Before making the purchase, I tried to research the item on the internet.  I was unable to find a whole lot of information. 
I did, however, manage to find one site that said it was a pretty neat toy.  Based on that one measly review, I bought it.

It stated in my email confirmation to expect item to arrive in 3-5 weeks. Patiently, I waited and waited. 
After about 5 weeks, I received an email informing me that my product had just shipped! Ugh! I shouldve already received it.  But better late than never, right?  Anyway, about a week after the latest email, I received the product.  I was so puzzled
when I received the package because everything on the exterior was in Chinese, and as far as I could remember, I hadnt ordered anything from China.  I ripped open the package, and initially, I was excited because my nephews toy had finally arrived.  I opened the box so I could familiarize myself with the toy before handing it to my nephew.  Boy, oh boy, was I disappointed.  I was BEYOND disappointed.  I seriously wanted to rip someones head off and give them a piece of my mind! The stupid toy was nothing but a plastic rectangle, the size of an iPad.  The screen is merely a plastic sheet with pictures.  It looks incredibly generic.  Piece of crap material!  And to think, Widget Love advertised this item on their website for $60-$70! The Living Social deal offered it for $25.     

After receiving this item, I googled the toy, and amazingly I found countless NEGATIVE reviews! Ironically, that one positive review I found prior to the order is gone.  I went to the Widget Love website and it states that without the receipt, refunds will
not be given unless the item is damaged. 
Well, guess what?  There was no shipping paper or receipt sent with my item. 
Also, with the shipping and restocking fee (20-30%) being deducted from the refund amount, its not even worth it to try to get my $25 back.  Absolutely ridiculous!  I dont know how fraudulent companies like this are still accessible!  Companies
like this really piss me off!  Someone needs to bring them down!
