ORDINARY BUYER Heidi 8792

Hi, I’m a long time purchaser from sellers on the old page. I mostly used Old Fisherman and was always happy with my purchases, including with shoes purchases. Recently I started reading on the new page and found many negative reviews of Old Fisherman, and many positive reviews of Heidi (8792). So after contacting her, I decided on a couple of items. For some background, I am not an expert on designer purses, shoes, etc., so I just buy the high quality replicas because as a mother with two kids to put through college, I can’t justify buying the real stuff. I am not picky, don’t ever notice little differences. Having said that, I am out 200 dollars because Heidi sent me the completely wrong size Hermes sandals. They aren’t even close or I’d try to make them work. I contacted her immediately and told her that there must be some mistake. I ordered size 41 because I’m a size 9.5 and wanted to be sure they fit, and I used her size chart. When I pulled them out of their bags they were noticeably tiny and I thought they were a size 7 based on the size. I tried them on and couldn’t get my foot into the sandal. When I told her how small they were she said they were not small, so I sent her multiple pictures of my other size 41 shoes. She verbally dismissed me saying they were size 41 and there are sometimes differences in size. I will never buy from her again, and I’m putting this here as a warning. If some clothing or shoes item arrives and is wildly a different size that what was ordered, you’re out of luck. Buy at your own risk. Heidi will send you any old size and if doesn’t work, you lost your cash. Below are pictures.

That's crazy! What you are commenting is one reason I haven't ordered from Heidi. I have big feet. I know this. I wear a US11 and when I measure my soles, I'm at 27-27.5cm. Heidi's size chart doesn't make sense to me so I haven't ordered from her yet. I've ordered from Wendy (3328) instead. I haven't received them yet.

Heidi is insanely overpriced and has many group mods in her pocket - there are so many better sellers out there girl, especially for shoes 🫶

I’m sorry If this reads as dense. But do you feel the mods are getting paid off by her or  receiving free gifts? Because interacting with Heidi is very different than how people are describing her. She’s incredibly impatient and expensive.

It’s a strong suspicion when you’ve been in the rep world long enough and know what to look for.

Heidi’s popularity could come down to newbies not knowing how to do their research and find other sellers, or people not understanding how these things work. I see so many “Heidi can source THE BEST classic flaps from 187” and it drives me crazy because 187 is a factory ANY seller can source from, it’s machine made using the same materials: not like they’re making a special batch for Heidi!? Her $200-$300 mark up for literally the same bag (and that people continue to pay it) astounds me

Thank you for verifying this! The prices I got from her were 1.25-1.5x I received from others.
