This review is from: 4in. Mylar Pinwheels on a 12 in. Stick (24/PKG) (Toy)
This was a complete waste of money. These are poorly shaped, squished, and do not spin. I would be embarrassed to use these at my child's party for decoration or favors. They look like cheap used gift bows stuck on a stick.
The worst part now comes in returning them, when I find that besides being out the $9.78 on shipping back and forth, I'll also be charged a 15% restocking fee $2.03. So on a $13.59 purchase that turns out to be garbage, I will be out $11.89 after returning it. But, the vendor will make $2.03 profit for sending his garbage on this journey.
Re-stocking fees are nothing but a gimmick for companies to make profit on items they don't even end up selling. Why should I pay not only the round trip shipping, but to put their !??!*!* back on the shelf?
This is the problem shopping on Amazon, you don't see these "re-stocking" policies up front before you click "confirm order". I would NEVER buy again from any vendor that has this policy.

This review is from: 4in. Mylar Pinwheels on a 12 in. Stick (24/PKG) (Toy)
Bought these for my daughter's first birthday as party favors. Everyone loves pinwheels - my 1 year old, her 7 week old cousin, her 32 year old aunt. They came packaged in a plastic bag and were shipped in an envelope, not a box, so a few were a bit squished :/
Also, I had to assemble them - putting the "head" on the "stick" - which wasn't as easy as you'd think b/c the stick was almost too thick to fit.
Colors aren't as pretty as I would hope.
Overall thought, pinwheels are pinwheels, and they made a fine favor.
