1.0 out of 5 stars
Avoid., October 4, 2010
This review is from: Organic Hemp Euro Wallet (Apparel)
Really regret this purchase. This seller is terrible and the product isn't much better.
First the product. If you're buying this wallet for the "green" factor, don't. It has a plastic PVC I.D. window. What's the point of buying a "green" product if it's got plastic-- not even recycled plastic at that? Lame.
Next, there are three pockets for holding your cards. First pocket is too deep. Runs 2/3 the length of the wallet. Put any cards down there and they will sink to the bottom and disappear.
Second pocket is very shallow. Can't put cards in there or they will fall out. Don't know what the point of that pocket is.
Third pocket is just fine.
So, the wallet has one usable wallet for cards. Unless you're 13 years old, you're going to need more useable pockets for your credit cards, ATM cards, health insurance cards, etc.
Like the other reviewer said, it is much bigger than your standard American wallet. My guess would be that's because Euros, etc. are bigger bills and need more room. That was going to be just fine with me, but is something that you should be aware of. If you wear jeans and stick this thing in your back pocket it's going to stick out the top.
Second big problem: the seller is TERRIBLE. Probably the worst I've ever encountered on Amazon. The wallet cost $11, they charge almost $8 for delivery. If that weren't bad enough, mine arrived 4 days late!
How are you going to have the nerve to attach a 70% delivery charge to a product and then not have it show up on time?
When my wallet didn't arrive I emailed seller. Never heard back. Then I telephoned seller. Never heard back. The I filled out the Amazon "contact seller" form. Never heard back. When wallet finally arrived it was in a HUGE cardboard box. HUGE. It measured 2 feet across, 12 inches deep, and 10 inches wide. This is supposed to be "green" right? Total waste. Could have shipped a dozen books in this one box. Wallet was at bottom of box, unwrapped. Wallet was wet. Don't ask me why.
Shame. You try to go green to help the planet. All I did was waste a ton of resources on this thing: wasted time contacting seller, who couldn't be bothered to respond. Wasted money. Have to buy an actual working wallet now. Wasted materials. Did you read the part about the HUGE box? Wasted energy with fuel for UPS truck, man-hours, etc.
WASTE WAATE WASTE all for a "green" product. Beyond stupid. But you can be smart. Avoid this wallet. Avoid this seller.
UPDATE 10/7/2010: Unbelievable! After less than one week of use the velcro is already peeling off and coming unstitched. This may be the worst product I've ever purchased. $20 (including shipping from unscrupulous seller), four days late, arrives wet, and now falling apart after less than a week of use. Buy this product at your own risk.
