Nautica Shorts Developed Severe Pilling After Just Two Washes

1

About two months ago, I purchased several products from the Nautica store at İzmir Optimum and paid a significant amount of money for them. Two of the long shorts I purchased developed severe pilling within a very short period of time. I was extremely disappointed to see such noticeable pilling after wearing the shorts for only about two weeks and washing them just twice.

Because of this issue, I took the shorts back to the store and requested a return. The products were sent for inspection, but approximately one week later, I received a message stating that the issue was considered user error and that my return request could not be accepted. I absolutely do not accept the conclusion that this was caused by user error, as I used the products carefully and as intended and followed the washing instructions.

I also wanted to discuss the situation with the manager of the Nautica İzmir Optimum store, but I was told that the manager was in a meeting and no one addressed my concerns. I never received any follow-up afterward either. Because of both the product quality issue and the lack of attention I received at the store, I feel that I have been treated unfairly.

I request that the two shorts affected by the pilling issue be reinspected objectively and that they be considered defective products, with either a full refund or a replacement provided.
