I was sold a FAKE Xpole!

Nikkabella · 2009-01-21T05:15:22+00:00

Ok I bought what I thought was an xpole off ebay long before I found this site. I was having problems with the pole, so I contacted xpole directly. The rep said it sounded like I might have a fake one. The rubber ring at the top on mine is black instead of clear, the joints don't line up smoothly, they gap, hurt, the metal cover on the adjuster fell down. Ok so I am sooo pissed, bummed, mad etc. I bought the pole when I first decided to try pole dancing. I was proud of myself that I did enough research to pick an xpole and not some crapy flimsy thing. There where so many xpoles for sale that I bid on one and thought I got lucky that I got it for about $50 less than the others. 🙁 Well I have filed a claim with paypal, of course the seller no longer exists, hopefully I will get my money back, I plan to get one from veena so she can have the business, but for now I have a broken pole, a busted ceiling and hopes for a quick resolution to this problem! Has this happened to anyone else? Plus I was right in the middle of my lessons! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Here's a little more info on avoiding fake X-Poles : http://www.thepoledancingshop.com/fake-x-poles/

I'm not sure how long it was when you bought it but if you paid thru Paypal, you can dispute it to get your money back! If the product was not what it says or you got something different even if it is deffective, dispute it. It may take awhile to get your money back but you will. I only deal with Power Sellers on Ebay and there certain things I will not buy on them as well especially electronics. If you paid with a credit card, you can call the bank where the card issued and dispute it there.

Hi dance fever, have you bought it from pole-delight seller in ebay? because I just bought one from them yesterday...
Beckypolegirl · 4/1/2012
i got my pole from a company called pole delight but it was on amazon and it is a real x pole
Vixen East · 4/1/2012
Really? i got it from ebay but same supplier name... OMG!
DanceFever · 4/1/2012
Yes mine should be here tomorrow. When I went to their eBay store, it looked legit. It directs you to the uk store if you want more info, and it's family run. I have been harrassing him/her with questions so we will see!
DanceFever · 4/1/2012
P.s he/ she told me there is a serial number on the box and pole!! Yay!! I didn't get a fake pole!!!

you know you can order one off of this site right? The shipping is super cheap and you have the peace of mind knowing it's real...
Vixen East · 4/2/2012
I track my shipment, and its on its way to my doorstep.... Im crossing my fingers, because I bought my xpert pole. I'll keep you posted guys :)

General rule of thumb, if it's too cheap to be true or cheaper than the regular retail cost, it's probably a fake. Resellers are not allowed to sell below the retail cost that X-Pole sells at. Chris Moore Director http://www.ThePoleDancingShop.com

Came across this on a group on facebook. Apparently the rip offs are at it again. Now they have jointed, bottom loading x pole ripoffs. *head desk* https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/468098_10151347949085398_765837878_o.jpg

I'm glad I found SV when I did or I probably would have ordered off of ebay and possibly have gotten a fake pole.

Looking at purchasing this pole: http://candy-chrome.co.uk/product/x-pole-xpert-titanium-pole/ It seems to be genuine as it's a pole school selling it - any thoughts?

The best way to find out is to contact XPole and find out if they are a retailer.
Dwiizie · 5/14/2013
I was going to say the same thing, ask x pole if they are a authorized vendor.
