Hiya all-
Just curious how ya'll would deal with an item identical to one sold here at EF, but actually purchased elsewhere. (Got it before I decided on EF as "home.")
In most cases it wouldn't come up, but with the item I'm working on the packaging is different from how other reviewers have described the EF packaging.
Do you feel it's somehow dishonest to do that review? (I don't, so long as I've researched & made certain the item is indeed the same & not a knockoff). If we're talking about only a minor issue like packaging should I say something like "Item is identical to the EF item, but was purchased elsewhere & has different packaging?" Do I just kind of skim over that bit? I feel kind of rude referring to purchasing elsewhere, even without naming names, & am wondering how to avoid that.
How would you all handle this? And would you find a comment of that nature tasteless in a review you were reading or not pay much attention? Thanks!
