Default Caribongos in Lake Sumter Landing

Nice little store that sells T-shirts that change colors, trinkets, necklaces, and other touristy stuff. Nice, at least, until I tried to return a necklace that my daughter had purchased just this morning. It fell from my granddaughter's neck at lunchtime. I walked into the store. My greeting was "the only way those break is if they are pulled off". When I explained that wasn't the case, the clerk accused me of being "rude" (I wasn't...asking for a repair or replacement in a business like is apparently being rude). She said that she had no tools. No, she was going to replace it. So, I went home, dug out some tools, put it under a loupe, and was able to repair it myself (the clasp was defective). Soooooo, if you want to buy cool stuff at a touristy store at touristy prices, go there. Just don't expect to be able to return anything. We have crossed the store off our list.

Default Buy with AMEX

That's why I tend to buy things and services with my AMEX.

Just have to dispute the charge and let AMEX deal with merchant.

It has always worked well for us!
