Don’t let yourself become a cautionary tail. You can find anything online these days, but there is little to no accountability. Fly-by-night operations and online only stores will lie, cheat, and steal to make a buck. They advertise one thing and ship another. We have heard the horror stories first hand from our customers. They see a price online with a pretty picture, but they end up with a bait and switch with no returns allowed. You should always buy from a furrier with a good reputation that has a retail location. The reason is personal accountability. Website only businesses can be run by one person in a warehouse with a computer and a phone. The only thing they care about is ringing up a sale and they give no service after the sale. Most fur coats will need professional alterations to ensure a perfect fit. A retail operation such as ours here at sakowitz will work hard to make sure that you get the coat you want and one that fits you perfectly. A reputable furrier will work hard to make you happy and keep you that way, because you become their best billboard. When you look good and have a good experience, you will ultimately end up referring friends and family to shop there. In short, a good reputation is built with happy customers and thats what you want to be.
