I wish I could give 0 stars. I work the night shift so I usually shop online. I've shopped at Ruelala, Gilt, Hautelook and I understand that the 9.95 shipping fee is the price I pay for convenience. But this site is unreasonable.

I ordered something to give to a friend of mine for her birthday. I ordered it 3 weeks before the party since I figured that would buy me enough time and the last day of the "estimated date of delivery" window was 2 days before the party so I thought I was in good shape. A week later, the tracking number they gave me still didn't work so I used the live chat and they said sometimes it's not updated so give it some time and they weren't able to track it without the tracking number. While waiting, I ended up buying something else since I had the free shipping for 30 days and that package came quickly, a week after ordering it while I still didn't have tracking info for my first order. 2 days before the party, I finally get a working tracking saying it just left their place 3 weeks after I made the order. So I was livid, since that was supposed to be a present for a party happening in 2 days... It gets worse. My order finally gets to New Jersey, to a different city (which is normal) but then the next day, it goes back to Maryland... Then back to North Carolina? You would think there was something wrong with the address I gave but they had gotten it right one time already! Why make the mistake now so I spoke to someone again and she gives me $10 credit for my inconvenience? Are you serious, what am I gonna do with that? I had to buy another present, then the stress that it brings is ridiculous.

Worst is, my sister ordered something with my account because of the free shipping and the same thing happened. It went to New Jersey then was sent back to Maryland. As we speak, I am on a live chat with them and it's just so unreasonable. I don't understand how a company could thrive while messing up this much. They should just have free shipping then it would be worth the wait. I might as well order from Asia, it will come sooner than theirs.

Ridiculous! I would say IT IS NOT WORTH IT! The things they sell are the same as Ruelala and Hautelook, just wait til they put out the sales.

Hi Kimberly,

We appreciate that you provided your feedback here on SiteJabber. I'm so sorry that two of your packages were mis-routed by the post office and ended up somewhere in Maryland, with the first of them being returned to our fulfillment center and later reshipped. It seems that there may be a routing issue of some kind since it was shipped with the correct address and the post office shows the correct zip code and both packages originally made it to New Jersey but then were routed to Maryland.

One of the supervisors in our customer service department, Jessica, spoke with you on the phone in regards to this and is working to resolve everything that has happened. She has refunded you the $9.95 shipping charge from your first order with us since you've had so many shipping issue. She also issued you a refund for the newest missing package from order 74708466 that went to Maryland after it had been in NJ. Both refunds should post to the credit card used within 3 to 5 business days. If this package arrives back to our fulfillment center, as discussed, we will have it reshipped to you even though this refund was already done. Jessica is also checking with the USPS and our fulfillment center to find out why the routing happened this way and to help ensure this doesn't happen again and will make sure to follow up with you next week and let you know what she's found out. Please feel free to contact her at the number she gave you when you spoke today, as that is her direct line.

If you need any further assistance, please feel free to reach out to Jessica or let me know and I'll be happy to help. Thanks for being a part of ideeli.

Best,
Jason Faria
Director, Customer Service
