So apparently, I’m not the only one who’s been scammed by Tyler McGillivary. I pre-ordered a vibe-worthy piece, paid full price, and then got zero. No package, no refund, no apology—just a customer service team that acted like they were dodging a bullet. Turns out, they’re not the cozy indie label I thought they were. They’re a reseller of plastic junk made overseas, priced like a luxury brand. I feel like a fool for falling for their “eco-chic” vibe and “size-inclusive” flex. It’s basically Shein-level trash, but with a higher price tag and a side of guilt.
Here’s the kicker: These “indie” brands are weaponizing greenwashing and coolwashing to sell you stuff that’s basically polyester prison. They’ll tell you their products are ethically made, but the truth? They’re outsourcing to factories with no transparency. And their “customer service” is basically a scam. I tried to file a lost package claim with UPS, but Tyler McGillivary’s team ghosted me. No refunds, no replacements, no care. It’s not just bad customer service—it’s unethical.
We need to call out these brands for what they are: profit-driven lies. There are real, wholesome brands out there doing the work—like Ginger & Dandelion, Eileen Fisher, and Nooworks. They’re not perfect, but they’re trying. But the problem is, most “indie” brands aren’t actually trying. They’re just cashing checks and pretending they care. This isn’t just about money—it’s about trust. When you buy from a brand that’s lying, you’re not just getting a product. You’re funding a system that’s exploiting people and the planet.
So, what’s your story? Have you been scammed by an “indie” brand? Let’s talk in the comments. And if you know how to get money back from Tyler McGillivary or UPS, drop a tip. I’m at my wit’s end, and I’m not the only one.
