The Black Panther hoodie is meant to have small black ears on top and be constructed of imitation fur. But when a Chinese retailer offered her what looked like a Black Panther hoodie, that’s not what one online customer discovered. The fake had ears that resembled Yoda’s more than a panther’s and was constructed of cheap synthetic fibre.
Online shopping can be convenient and sometimes even necessary, but in this case, there may have been a need for more careful screening or even a trip to the store. However, it is obvious that buying straight from the vendor—in this case, SpiritHoods.com—is a better option for online shoppers than going via a middleman.
