    I placed an order for Birkenstock sandals on the Birkenstockzsandals.com website on July 15th. I never received an email for confirmation of the order. I paid with Paypal and the payment was paid to this company. I have screenshots I could send for proof of payment to this company if you would send me your email address. Please refund the amount of $45.00
