Review (1/5): Not authentic Goody product.
Beware: if the item isn't packaged with the Goody label, it's not the real thing!
The item received wasn't the Goody brand. It was a poor imitation of the original, which is unfortunate, because I really wanted to replace the pair that I lost. The pins were packaged in a thin, clear plastic bag encased in an ivory mesh bag - clearly not Goody. I don't automatically have a problem with buying imitation products, but these simply weren't well made. I could see and feel that the end points were jagged and not cut smoothly, but attempted to use them anyway. I immediately noticed the difference in quality. They're supposed to glide through your hair when you spin them in, but since the points weren't buffed down properly, you could feel it ripping through instead. I had to return the item, which sounds easy enough. However, one has to still spend time packaging it, going to the post office, and waiting for/following up on the email confirmation that the item was returned successfully to the warehouse and refunded. I have Amazon Prime and this is one of those rare occasions when an order goes wrong. But it's still annoying enough to take the time to write about and to let the company know to not replace the genuine item with generic products. Needless to say, I still need a pair of *Goody* spin pins.
