I agree...especially if we are talking about WHOLESALERS, but not so with RETAILERS. Then there are companies from abroad: shipping across continents is trickier and costlier, thus this causes issues and would be understandable even from a retailer.Almost any seller that deals with large quantities of pearls can make a mistake, and send the buyer a different pair.
Regarding trusted or less trusted sources. Earlier I spoke to another Etsy seller who was recommended to me by an esteemed member of this forum. The seller (with very good reviews) said they do not pair pearls for buyers, and recommended me to purchase first, and to make a note with the purchase. And they also do not accept returns or exchanges.
I stand to my opinion: Always best to buy from a reputable source and have a clear RETURN POLICY.
