A vendor from India recently sent me the wrong brand of a product. It was advertised as brand A (high quality pills) but he sent brand B (lower quality pills).
I am very familiar with the effects of the drug - and I can say with certainty these pills are weak. They're not fake or anything; they just aren't what the vendor advertised. Quite frankly, I would not have placed the order if I knew I wasn't going to get what I ordered.
I'm sorry if I sound too nitpicky. After all, I got the medicine. But this is Indian medication, so we're not talking the difference between name brand and generic medicine in the U.S.
This is more like the difference between medical marijuana and shake. Yes, 3.5 g of medical marijuana and 3.5 g of shake are the same amount of the same substance, but there's a reason why you pay a lot less for the latter.
Anyway, the pills actually look terrible. They're in the original blister packs, which is their only redeeming factor. Otherwise, the pills have scuff marks on the surfaces and the edges of the oblong-shaped pills are slightly jagged. There is an obvious lack of quality here. Plus, as I said earlier, they're not as potent as they should be.
What would you guys recommend? The order was $200 and I think it's fair for me to ask for at least 25% of my money back. I'm pretty sure false advertising is a breach of the vendor contract, so giving me $50 to make up for sending me very mediocre pills instead of the high quality ones I ordered, seems like the least he could do. If he's willing to reship the correct pills, that would also be OK with me as well.
Any thoughts? Advice?

Personally, looking at it from the ganja perspective. If hes a good vendor he would realize his error and refund you the difference...Then again i read about it all the time of people getting sub par bud expecting best stuff out there so i mean did they receive product yes. was it as described....no. This is the gray area in which we deal in, and the honesty of the buyer and seller really shows.
