@@ello_m8_734 Honestly it's even sketchier! Oh you know, just my mysterious secret recipe not-clay that I concocted and may or may not be safe for use. I'm curious if she discloses what it's made from on her shop, in case of people are allergic.
Honestly that just looks like foam insulation. And it's not made to be out in the open, that stuff needs dry air to set and it's very vulnerable to light. Also doesn't really like to stick to metal, it prefers porous materials.
It looks like the seller forgot to cure the product before she shipped it out. That’s a quality control problem, not user error. If she apologized, replaced the item, gave her a quick refund, and/or gave the customer a credit for future purchases, she would have a lifelong customer instead of a bunch of hate.
Everybody online is now self-employed😂. So there will be many such cases. Not to mention the fact that they dont know how to respond without being emotional or taking offense to bad reviews.
I feel like she doesn't cure any of them long enough since pieces were falling off in the video that was meant to show that they're reasonably durable and high quality and stuff
She mentioned that she formulated this “special” paste thing herself. I don’t think she knows how to properly cure this, bc no one else has made this. Lol
I also HIGHLY dislike when people slip in that they have a disability in their statements. Yes you have a disability, but what does that have to do with quality of the products you're selling? P.S. if she were to go to USPS it would've been FRAUD. Cause it wasn't USPS' fault.
THIS 👏🏻 it pisses me off when people cry disability when they get called out for bad behavior. I'm disabled...it might affect some things i do but it's not an excuse for being a POS.
The "small seller" said she has the product dry out for 4 days... Professional furniture painters have been known to let the Final coat of paint/clear coat, cure/dry out for 1-2 WEEKS. That way, the paint/clear coat doesn't chip off. That product she is using looks to be 1-2 inches thick. Most products have in the directions, the "dry time". But that is usually based on much thinner applications. Bare minimum, air drying, this should be 2 weeks dry. Sometimes you can have a tool to dry it quicker, like an oven/kiln/"blow dryer". But this looks delicate... So I would suggest "air dry"
I’m so sick and tired of these ‘small business’ that have not fully worked out their process and selling mediocre if not dangerous products without regard or regulation and then blaming the consumer who has paid for a product that is misleading for wanting their hard earned money back. Your personal circumstances don’t come into your business, a consumer is only interested in the product they pay for. If your process was handled well in the first place and accounted for there would have never been a public issue. If she is not interested in having a return or consumer policy and ready to take on fault and feedback and improve their product and process, she shouldn’t have a business - she’s clearly not ready or prepared for what it entails.
English major here. While “whenever” is known for its usage in situations where the date and time is unknown, it can also be used for situations that are repetitive. “When” can be used as a substitute for “whenever,” which is where most people become frustrated. The person is using “whenever” in a situation where she is doing something repetitive and relaying the same information repetitively, so the use of “whenever” is correct. However, because she is in a situation where her actions are unique and distinct, “when” can be used as a substitute. Both are correct. The use of the words depends on the emphasis. Do you want to emphasise the repetition of the effect (whenever) or do you want to emphasise the cause and effect (when)? Edit: There are times, however, where she does use “whenever” incorrectly.
Thank you. Although I understand the frustration of someone using the word incorrectly... It was a bit frustrating hearing a rant about a word being incorrectly used while the person ranting is also describing it incorrectly lol
@@wellactually. Yeah, it was a bit frustrating to hear. I’m not surprised though, especially since a lot of comments are agreeing with Angelika’s rants. I don’t understand the frustration about it since different dialects will at times change the rules of grammar, as some people in the comments have pointed out how some dialects will interchange the use of “when” and “whenever.” I’m not a grammar purist nor do I share information without double checking its validity, so seeing people who are like that rubs me off the wrong way. Edit: I don’t usually like pushing my own standards onto others, but when it comes towards grammar purists, they tend to be people who don’t understand that with dialects there will be accents, and they tend to be malicious towards those who don’t meet their own standards. For example, look at the racial discrimination that happens towards black people for their accents and dialect (which is called “linguicism”). This statement about grammar purism is not directed towards neurodivergent people, but it is directed towards those that use grammar purity as a weapon. Also, I shouldn’t have stated that different dialects will change grammar rules. I should instead say that they will create new rules.
omg thank you for this 😭 i have an english degree and am now getting a degree in linguistics and had to skip both of angelika’s rants about the whole whenever thing because i can’t stand grammar purists anymore
@@momo_04. I just made an edited comment on my reply addressing grammar purism. I absolutely hate it and am always cautious around those who partake in it.
If anyone is scamming, it's the seller. She wants to be paid for her inferior product, but wants usps to pay the customer back for her mistake. How many customers has she directed to usps for refunds? In what world does that make sense? Like ma'am, come on now lol.
THANK YOU for bringing up the "whenever" being said out of context! I see so many people doing it and it drives me crazy! I was starting to think I was in the wrong because I see it so much
as someone who makes fake cake stuff as well (I use spackling, not sure what this person is using) humidity does not change the consistency of it after it has dried completely lmfao. that piece did not cure for long enough
@AuroraPaintBrush4444 this is a good question- honestly it depends on thickness. I can "ice" a fake cake and it can dry pretty well overnight, or it can sometimes take up to like a week. even if it seems dry enough I try not to push it until a week and then I hang up the art/fake cakes
if she’s using silicone (like how the decoden phone cases are made) it shouldn’t crack like it did either like it’ll still be squishy but it’s a firm squishy and doesn’t get indented when you touch it
I hate when people bring out the “We are just a small business” card whenever they screw up. If you are a small business, you gotta do better to keep your customers 🙄
Especially if you can do a simple quality test. 1) let it dry 2) poke it with a stick/drop it on the ground. In my "crafting viewpoint". Four days is not enough time to properly dry out. Some of the designs are an inch or two thick. I would let that dry out for two weeks and test it.
This is why so many small businesses fail. They get ahead of themselves and want to always be in the right even when ppl give them leeway to correct themselves.
The ‘whenever’ is absolutely a regional thing in the US. While it gets annoying, I don’t think most people realize they do it 🫣 I did a little digging and apparently it’s more of a dialectical phenomenon that also occurs/may have originated in Northern Ireland. The more you know 💫
These can be made with a silicone base that will cure a bit like a squishy gel, but it shouldn’t be wet or falling apart like that. Especially if it’s advertised as a clay base being used, it should be harder that that
That was my first thought too. The other thing I noticed is that the outlet cover is shiny AF. It should have been gouged and sanded and scratched to ensure the decoden whip product will stick!
Four days is not enough time. With how thick the designs are, I'd let it dry out for minimum two weeks. And perform a "drop test", let gravity do the work, similar to being sent through the mail.
@@moultingrook8091THIS! There is no way that anything is sticking to that cover AT ALL. no acrylic paint, none of this stuff she might have used, no clay, nothing. Maybe resin? But that cover should have been properly prepped so it would actually stick
You were correct with your first critique of her use of “whenever”, however, if one is talking about something that is done repeatedly, that IS the correct usage of “whenever”. For example: “Whenever I bought my house” is incorrect, but “Whenever I buy groceries…” is CORRECT. So, she is saying whenever she plays with the clay, it moves around. As opposed to saying when she playED with the clay.
OMG. I’m from Kentucky, it’s not humid here at all! It’s warmer than usual, yes. But I use air dry clay, and ship it out too… and I’ve never had a bad experience with it. She simply hadn’t let it dry all the way.
Haven't finished watching yet but I have to point out, for the decoden style phonecases and other crafts, the whipped cream is done with silicone. Why not.. just use that?
I'm confused too because I've only ever seen it done with silicone?? It's a super popular style to sell as well so I question the thought process behind it.
also a side note: if USPS has been frequently damaging your items, doesn't that mean you're not packing it well enough too? she should be wrapping the items well enough so that the mailing service will have a hard time breaking the item
Dear shippers: stop blaming USPS for your shitty packaging and low quality products. It was clear as day in the video that the cream thing wasn't fully cured at all....
I worked at fedex and there was some company that shipped a lot of heavy clothing in flimsy boxes with barely any tape and the boxes almost always came apart on the belts. It was so frustrating and I imagine it’s a mess for fedex to deal with.
I’m sorry but this is exactly why i dont trust most at home small businesses.From creating creams and makeup in their kitchen with no experience or sanitary checks, to stupid diys like this. I’m never buying or letting anyone to guilt trip me for supporting just because she made it herself in her bedroom or family’s kitchen.
Crafting/painter perspective There are several products that need weeks to properly cure/dry out. For example, furniture, objects you sit on or place food on, etc usually, for best results, let the final coat of paint or clear coat dry out for 1-2 WEEKS. This prevents chipping or smudging. * If you are sensitive to the chemical smell/vapors, usually the vapors will be gone/minimal after two weeks. - so imagine the vapors/chemicals trapped in the packaging. ***Silicon can dry out in under a week, but thats in THIN applications. This decorative application looks to be 1 -2 inches thick! This NEEDS more than 4 days.
My goddddd thank you for mentioning the "could care less" line.... it's always been one of my biggest pet peeves and I never hear anyone else ever complain about it lmao
I think it is wild that the frosting I put on my gingerbread cookies here in the Deep South US to ship to my in-laws in the desert of Arizona in the summer holds up better than this product did.
Pretty disgusted by the grammar snobbery and ignorance in this video and the comments. I get very frustrated by bad grammar a lot too but some things are just dialectal. Northern Irish people say 'whenever' for 'when' all the time; it's fundamental to how they speak. It's related to influence from the Irish language on how they began speaking English (and lets not forget that the English language was forced on the Irish). Presumably, some regions in the US were influenced by Irish and Scots Gaelic-influenced English.
The whenever thing bugs me too, but it is a Southern thing in the US. My boyfriend is from Kentucky and says whenever in the wrong context all the time, so I’ve just learned to accept it as part of the southern dialect.
These small businesses will not issue refunds because these owners have no concept of 'business'. They spend the money almost immediately, which means that it's coming from their pockets when/if something goes wrong, which immediately results in the victim mentality of "you're taking food out of my mouth." Wrong. Businesses, especially small businesses that are still barely businesses, need to always consider how they will properly deal with returns before they sell their very first item. I run a small business, and while I have never had an issue of an item showing up ruined or broken, I still have my fair share of returns, complaints, and issues. I refund or replace. That is the cost of maintaining a working small business. Every time I see a business owner like this, I always think of the Pink Sauce Lady. lol.
babe i’m gonna hold your hand when i tell you this … whenever can be used in this context😭it means like, “any time that”. so if it’s something that happens often or multiple times, it would be referring to a specific time(s) in which something happened🤣
It's on YOU the seller to make sure your products are ready to be shipped and that they're properly and securely packaged. For example, one time I ordered nail polish from ulta and they were just tossed in a zip lock and put in the box as is. I got lucky they didn't break. You can't blame everything on the one doing the delivering. It's wonderful to support small business and even better when it's a small business run by someone disabled, but it does not mean you're 100% perfect all the time. The seller messed up and just wouldn't take ownership and that's what made things worse, not the customer leaving a low review. And also wonderful point something that's meant to be touched numerous times a day should absolutely be sturdy.
Angelica I feel so validated by you rn. I've always been driven crazy how people say "whenever" when I feel like they should actually be saying "when" to the point where I started gaslighting myself like maybe I'm just wrong cause so many people seem to say it this way 😂
I have my own crystal/oddity business. I ship fragile & delicate items all the time (including taxidermy, bugs, butterflies, fragrance oils in glass jars, etc.) I’ve had some things break when I first started out but I immediately refunded & took care of people when it happened & most of them still shop with me today! Mistakes happen, and it costs you money sometimes. But what’s right is right. I’ve learned from my mistakes & they’ve made me a better business in the long run. It’s a shame she handled it the way she did. *editing to add* Usps likely would not approve this claim anyway, pretty much if the box isn’t demolished & if the item wasn’t properly wrapped by the seller, they don’t pay for it. That’s why they ask you to bring all the shipping materials/the contents of the package so they can see if it was packaged properly.
The defence squad on this one was wild "YOU pressed to hard and broke it" you are supposed to be able to press it up to a wall and screw it in and then also slap it to turn a light on and off. That was a purely uncured product like be so for real.
If they were working with decoden cream maybe you could argue that was the reason it didn’t set properly since it’s a mixture of liquid resin. It also looks like they just put whatever they used onto a plain cover that already has protective coating. It’s going to slide off without something like glue to set it.
I HATE THE WHENEVER THING TOO. I finally looked it up and it's a regional thing. I only have heard it in the last few years maybe due to social media. Supposedly it's used in some places in the south of the us.
TBH if you can't handle one poor product review and refund request you aren't cut out for business, small or otherwise. She ruined her own reputation by sending an item in that condition and not making it right with a replacement or refund. I'm so tired of these cry baby small business owners who complain about the job they chose.
correct me if i'm wrong, but her pushing to file a claim with USPS seems so shady.. it feels like she's trying to get USPS to give her the money back instead so she can keep it. with how comfortable she is with the suggestion, i wonder how much money she's essentially stolen from the USPS
Haven’t finished the video, but a lot of times products like this are made out of silicone and come like…..kinda squishy? Like rubber texture. But if she didn’t sand the plastic properly the silicone wouldn’t stick to it, so that’s probably the issue for why it just literally popped off. I’ve had a million silicone decoden cases and only one has popped off after year of use, and they do stay rubbery
I feel you on "whenever" and "could care less" and I raise you when people say "entitled" instead of "titled" lol. But girl how dare you critique her vocab when you left your mouse in the middle of the tiktok while playing it?!? I'm kidding I love your content so much
What the pipeing stuff is on the phone cases is like a stiff silicone mix thats why its good for phone cases because its resistant to stuff and bouncy. If it is uncured its verry dangerous and can cause chemical burns if not curred fully withought propper ppe. Even if they used the silicone pipeing and not air dry clay they probablly would have done the same thing. - just some background info for those who arent crafters/artists
Also the artist saying it's not clay but "a very special material I formulated and created." Then you might need to reformulate....
I'm confused why it even needed a 'special formula' because most people use silicone for decoden for a reason 😭
@@ello_m8_734 Honestly it's even sketchier! Oh you know, just my mysterious secret recipe not-clay that I concocted and may or may not be safe for use. I'm curious if she discloses what it's made from on her shop, in case of people are allergic.

Good point. Ik they were valid for rejecting the refunds bc it was a defective product.
All it takes is her mishandling ONE customer experience. She ruined her own reputation, she didn’t need help.
If humidity is such a big issue for her products she should get little silica packets to add to her packaging to control that factor...
The "small seller" said she has the product dry out for 4 days... Professional furniture painters have been known to let the Final coat of paint/clear coat, cure/dry out for 1-2 WEEKS. That way, the paint/clear coat doesn't chip off.

Omg and those things are so cheap. I don’t think the humidity is the issue. I think the paste she uses never dries completely.

At 26:55 when the creator is talking about her art pieces, you can literally see stuff falling off of them
Is she insinuating that SMELLING the outlet cover is what causes it to break? Hilarious
It's bc the humidity from her nostrils was too much for the clay to handle /s
Dude i do remember making those phone cases 😭 i hated how it felt so i never used it
this kind of reminds me of Lipstick gate, but on a much smaller scale

It’s sought.
most of the time USPS requires the person who shipped the item to make lost package or damaged claims, NOT the recipient lol
I love your videos, but I felt like it was kinda rude to keep pausing the video just to talk about how much Paige talks/rambles.
This is a great example as to why customer service is such an important skill to have when you're running a business
These small businesses will not issue refunds because these owners have no concept of 'business'. They spend the money almost immediately, which means that it's coming from their pockets when/if something goes wrong, which immediately results in the victim mentality of "you're taking food out of my mouth." Wrong. Businesses, especially small businesses that are still barely businesses, need to always consider how they will properly deal with returns before they sell their very first item. I run a small business, and while I have never had an issue of an item showing up ruined or broken, I still have my fair share of returns, complaints, and issues. I refund or replace. That is the cost of maintaining a working small business.
Every time I see a business owner like this, I always think of the Pink Sauce Lady. lol.
you rlly spoke for the people with that “whenever” rant 💅🏼
babe i’m gonna hold your hand when i tell you this … whenever can be used in this context😭it means like, “any time that”. so if it’s something that happens often or multiple times, it would be referring to a specific time(s) in which something happened🤣
When/whenever doesn't bother me the way excess/access does, which I'm pretty sure she's said before 😂😂
It's on YOU the seller to make sure your products are ready to be shipped and that they're properly and securely packaged. For example, one time I ordered nail polish from ulta and they were just tossed in a zip lock and put in the box as is. I got lucky they didn't break. You can't blame everything on the one doing the delivering. It's wonderful to support small business and even better when it's a small business run by someone disabled, but it does not mean you're 100% perfect all the time. The seller messed up and just wouldn't take ownership and that's what made things worse, not the customer leaving a low review. And also wonderful point something that's meant to be touched numerous times a day should absolutely be sturdy.
“used for emphasis instead of “when” in questions, typically expressing surprise or confusion.
"whenever shall we get there?"”
commenting so u can get that birkin bag girl!!!!
the whenever thing gets under my skin too😭😭
Angelica I feel so validated by you rn. I've always been driven crazy how people say "whenever" when I feel like they should actually be saying "when" to the point where I started gaslighting myself like maybe I'm just wrong cause so many people seem to say it this way 😂
I have my own crystal/oddity business. I ship fragile & delicate items all the time (including taxidermy, bugs, butterflies, fragrance oils in glass jars, etc.) I’ve had some things break when I first started out but I immediately refunded & took care of people when it happened & most of them still shop with me today! Mistakes happen, and it costs you money sometimes. But what’s right is right. I’ve learned from my mistakes & they’ve made me a better business in the long run. It’s a shame she handled it the way she did.
*editing to add*
Usps likely would not approve this claim anyway, pretty much if the box isn’t demolished & if the item wasn’t properly wrapped by the seller, they don’t pay for it. That’s why they ask you to bring all the shipping materials/the contents of the package so they can see if it was packaged properly.
Omg the whenever thing is SO ANNOYING OMG THANK YOU FOR SAYING SOMETHING AHHH
You saying wrap it up made me cackle so loud🤣🤣😭 people irritate me like that too girl I feel you😂💓
the "when/whenever" thing pisses me off so much as well 😭
The defence squad on this one was wild "YOU pressed to hard and broke it" you are supposed to be able to press it up to a wall and screw it in and then also slap it to turn a light on and off.
That was a purely uncured product like be so for real.
I wonder if the seller had chat gpt write some of her messages, and that's why they are written so weirdly 🤔
Thank you for addressing “whenever.” That phrase is meant for repeat occurrences!!!!!!
I love how this video is also a mini rant about the use of “whenever” 😂
If they were working with decoden cream maybe you could argue that was the reason it didn’t set properly since it’s a mixture of liquid resin. It also looks like they just put whatever they used onto a plain cover that already has protective coating. It’s going to slide off without something like glue to set it.
thank you for the when/whenever callout it bothers me sm
I HATE THE WHENEVER THING TOO. I finally looked it up and it's a regional thing. I only have heard it in the last few years maybe due to social media. Supposedly it's used in some places in the south of the us.
Using whenever incorrectly and could care less drives me crazy
I could make a dissertation on the when vs whenever thing, it makes me CRAZYYY.
TBH if you can't handle one poor product review and refund request you aren't cut out for business, small or otherwise. She ruined her own reputation by sending an item in that condition and not making it right with a replacement or refund. I'm so tired of these cry baby small business owners who complain about the job they chose.
Thank you for brining up whenever! It drives me crazy!
the whenever thing drives me absolutely mad too!! also the seller is completely gaslighting this person like hello??
Her response is giving *Toxic gossip traaaain* 😂
I have the same gripe when people say “whenever” 😂
OMG YES THE WHENEVER THINGGGG. I've been noticing it for like a year. What is happening?
correct me if i'm wrong, but her pushing to file a claim with USPS seems so shady.. it feels like she's trying to get USPS to give her the money back instead so she can keep it. with how comfortable she is with the suggestion, i wonder how much money she's essentially stolen from the USPS
It depends on if the claims even went through. It can be hard to get an insurance claim from USPS, so people probably just gave up.
thank you for the election day treat

side note: the when vs whenever rant was so real. It annoys me so bad!!!
Haven’t finished the video, but a lot of times products like this are made out of silicone and come like…..kinda squishy? Like rubber texture. But if she didn’t sand the plastic properly the silicone wouldn’t stick to it, so that’s probably the issue for why it just literally popped off. I’ve had a million silicone decoden cases and only one has popped off after year of use, and they do stay rubbery
26:42 you see a piece fall out from the outlet covers when she's showing them...
She didn't even scour the outlet cover or glue the clay down. What did she expect would happen.
lol it’s an American thing for sure 7:30
That's either unfired clay or uncured resin, crazy
That message about the light switch cover read like it was from erotic fan fiction about light switches. I can't. 😂
All this for $12… my god this is overblown
Humidity is so dumb because thats still her fault for not packing dehumidifier packs in with the items. 😂
I feel you on "whenever" and "could care less" and I raise you when people say "entitled" instead of "titled" lol. But girl how dare you critique her vocab when you left your mouse in the middle of the tiktok while playing it?!? I'm kidding I love your content so much
What the pipeing stuff is on the phone cases is like a stiff silicone mix thats why its good for phone cases because its resistant to stuff and bouncy. If it is uncured its verry dangerous and can cause chemical burns if not curred fully withought propper ppe. Even if they used the silicone pipeing and not air dry clay they probablly would have done the same thing.
- just some background info for those who arent crafters/artists
looking gorgeous as always angelika!!
The interesting thing about it is that "she's losing too much money on refunds" like Um...honey?
It's gotten to the point that, that "whatever" shit has become a trigger for me
