Chuckit! Ultra Squeaker Dog Ball

Perhap's Chuck-It's SQUEAKY BALL purchasing customers on their home side of the pond are willing to put up with clever marketing accompanied by a product that fails within an hour!! Texan homies, don'[ play that!! I exist on a very limited income, and I could have bought two medium Chucks sans squeaker for the price I paid for one containing a squeaker!!! Long story short, I have my bestie whom i'd do anything for within reason and budget!! I don't currently have a pet because I do not feel I can afford to because I want to be a fiscally responsible pet owner, properly taking care of whatever type & breed of pet, or rescue pet which I might decide to bring into my life. I do take my role of being a pet AUNTIE, extremely seriously though, and my task, was that I promised to purchase an indestructable toy for my friend's 1yo French Bulldog, Beanie. I had your NO LONGER SQUEAKING Squeaky Chuck Ball Medium size, shipped to my friend's home, and of course the surprise GIFT caused a bit of a commotion. WHY DO YOU EVEN BOTHER WITH PRODUCING A CHUCK-IT BALL with a SQUEAKER ATTACHED inside it, IF it's going to FAIL in LESS THAN 1 HOUR???? Really!! I'm not one to idly stand by, adapting an "Oh well, that's how the cookie crumbles stance. Fool me ONCE, SHAME ON YOU, there won't a fool me twice second time/second opportunity. See.....my bestie texted me to thank me, as well as to send photos and two vids of Beanie playing with his new ball, his new SQUEAKING Ball. Oh, gee....He love(d) that ball, but it was the SQUEAKY noise that Does it (pardon DID IT) for him. I was mortified to see by the second vid, that the ball had STOPPED SQUEAKING!!!! in under ONE HOUR......it couldn't even make it for 60 minutes!!! That you even sell your product with a squeaker is dumbfounding, simply because if you can't manage to create a squeaker that is as tough as your balls, and can withstand play for verging on at least HALF of the balls useable LIFETIME.......then that begs the question that I asked above>>WHY BOTHER MAKING ONE AT ALL?? The cost may not mean much to you, but that with inflation and recession I don't know about other folks, but I feel under fiscal attack, and surely that's world wide, whether in USD, or EURO, everyone is feeling the pinch. So yeah the ball itself, seems great, but don't rip CHUCK IT BALL Believers off, by selling a Squeaky version that fails so very quickly. MY bestie, said, "Oh, but that's okay, he still loves the ball!" I replied, YES< true, but I could have bought hi m TWO CHUCK It balls for that price!! She and her husband have earned through hard work a comfy life for themselves, I am not at that level, in my life, and every single expenditure IS, yes, IS a HUGE deal to me. Whenever I verge on planning to purchase an item, whether it's a necessity or want or a craving, I have practiced disciplining myself.....and I literally do browse the reviews (and as you see before you, I write reviews too) AND i IN MOST SITUATIONS ALWAYS SEARCH OUT/FIND THE BEST PRICE/BEST DEAL, ON A PRODUCT. Just how good of a purchase is a Squeaky Chuck-It ball that literally doesn't tweet, one that ceases via losing the ability to tweet, by virtue of not being made in such a tough way that it can withstand being played with? I was and am disheatened, dismayed, and too........just simply disgusted. Why go so far as to say digusted???? Because I am definitely disgruntled via your representing your product but then being unable to follow through. SMH> Don't go telling me that, "Oh, can you please send it back?" because for one thing, you are situated out of country, and secondly I am not about to text my bestie, informing her that Ahem, hey, i need that new toy back so I can send it back to the seller. My bestie has had my back and I'm simply not doing that. This entire issue boils down to Chuck-it making and selling a faulty product. I wish I had never laid eyes on their product page within Amazon.
