Have you noticed that cotton sheets, cotton comforters and cotton bedding in general are hard to find? For those in the bedding import world you know the prices have increased so much that it is a scary proposition to purchase cotton bedding. The fear is ‘what if consumers won’t pay the higher prices’? With importers and retailers not wanting to take the chance on looking high priced or not being able to sell their goods, they have turned to polyester as the alternative to cotton. So while consumers have seen what appears to be stable prices, what they are really getting is an inferior product (polyester) at the same retail prices as cotton used to be.
It is a case of legal switch-a-roo without many customer even realizing it.
The only thing worse than this legal switch-a-roo is the illegal switch-a-roo some retailers and importers are actively partaking in. The deceit is so horrible that to call it shocking would be an understatement. What I am referring to is the intentional mis-labeling of goods. In other words selling polyester sheets, but labeling them cotton. Or calling sheets 400TC, but they are really only 150TC. Disgusting right!?
It is so criminal that it is hard to believe that importers and retailers do this and can get away with it. Somehow these brash individuals and companies do get away with it and they keep doing it because of such high profit they make out of the deceitful crime. In every sense of the word it is fraud and should be stopped!
It should be stopped because it cheats you the customer and it should be stopped because it cheats good retail stores like DormCo that only sell what we advertise and know is correctly labeled bedding. Lastly, it should be stopped because in every sense of the word these retailers are stealing. They are stealing from hard working people who want to buy what they pay for.
DormCo is proud to say we offer 100% cotton and 100% polyesters bedding products and to that end we test our goods to ensure you the consumer rightfully gets the quality that you paid for. A word of advice is if the ‘bedding’ deal looks to good to be true it most likely is! Run the other way or if you are in a fighting mood stand up to the retail store and demand better!
If you ever feel scammed by bedding that you bought and want to find out the truth you can send you bedding to http://www.idfl.com/. IDFL will test any type of bedding and tell you anything from thread count to what the product is made of. This laboratory has personally assisted Dorm Co in catching scam manufacturers and importers before we allowed their goods to be offered to you the customer.
The truth is even when it comes to dorm room bedding you should get what you pay for! There is no area in which a scam is ok!
