Place a reorder on custom lanyards, everything the same including the artwork since the client approved and liked the first order. 24HourMistakes decided that they would change the artwork because "we thought it looked better". WTF? To correct their mistake to change the art meant a week delay on the project, missing the client's in-hand deadline. Every call or chat with 24HourMistakes was useless, no one had answers, no one could tell me who might have answers and then the order shipped without any information available to me for tracking so just had to wait and hope. Not a good way to do business.
Yet here I am again... Client had ordered wristbands from this company in the past and directed me to reorder. Placing the order was easy, and working up the artwork online was fairly easy, then it all goes wrong.
Order was placed for July 16th "Guaranteed" Delivery Date: Thursday, Jun 16,2022 [+0.20] (RUSH) (5)" per their website order process. The client needed for an event on Saturday, Jun 18th, 2022.
No update on the website order other than "order processing". I chatted with a customer rep on Tuesday 14th to check on the order and make sure it would be shipping in time. I was told that the order is complete and had been sent to the shipping dept and I would receive an email update once the label and shipping had begun.
Two days later, no email or update and no delivery of the order on the guaranteed delivery day.
Contacted service rep via their chat again. This time told there was a quality control issue with the product printing and it had been rejected and sent back to production. Could offer me no further information as to when the order would ship and arrive. Asked to speak to a supervisor and was told "there are none on the floor" at the moment.
Contacted service rep via phone today, took a very long time for them to find any information about the order and where it was. Finally came back and said had read the prior chat and repeated that the order had been delayed due to rejected quality control and would arrive the following week. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, was denied. Asked how to get a refund for the rush/guaranteed shipping since they had failed and I was told by the rep "I'll open a ticket and see what they will do".
Still don't know if or when I'll get my order. The client is upset and I'm scrambling to find some other promo product for their event tomorrow which means I'm going to have to make something myself.
USE ANYONE BUT 24HourMistakes
USE SOMEONE ELSE!
Pens, Lanyards, wristbands
If I could give less than 1 star, I would. I ordered wrist bands on February 6th for an event on March 3rd. I approved the proof on the 7th. I actually called that day because when I ordered, the website said standard production was 7 days and the estimated delivery date was February 20th but when I received the confirmation email, at the bottom of the email it said that the 7 days and the estimate date was not a guarantee and the production may take up to 7 more days. The gentleman, Jordan, that I spoke to said the order was being processed and even though the order could be up to 7 days later we should still be fine since we paid extra to have the bracelets made in the USA instead of China. Cool cool. We would still be okay. I kept checking in on the website to see when my bracelets (for a co-worker that has breast cancer btw) had shipped. There was never any update other than the order was "pending." I started getting nervous on the 20th when I hadn't seen any update or that they had shipped. I called and was told that I would have to wait 24-48 hours to open a ticket since the estimated day of deliver was pushed out until Wednesday, the 26th. So now I'm getting nervous and asking if there was anything they could do or give me any concrete information about when the wrist bands would be shipped. He just kept repeating what I am sure is a script that said something to the effect of, "there isn't anything we can do. You paid for standard production" and told me to call back on the 26th if we still hadn't received our wrist bands. I checked back on the 26th because 1. I received an email saying my product had been delivered. 2. It hadn't. By this time I am beside myself. My event is less than a week away. I called over and over asking for help for some kind of problem-solving and their customer service did absolutely nothing other than repeat the script. I'm attached screen shots of the ticket that was opened as well as the email they sent me saying the product had been delivered. Long story short, I was told Wednesday that if I wanted to rush production it would cost $200 more dollars... for an order that was only $370 to start with. Then I was told I could get a partial shipment of just the adult wrist bands I ordered for an additional $120 but they wouldn't actually get here until the 5th... two days after my friend's event. What kind of shakedown is this? Warning: By the time I had talked to a handful of "customer service" agents and opened the tickets below, I was not in a good place. Lol. I'm usually pretty laid back and totally understand that it's not the agents' faults that they are not empowered and their company's policies are really poor but I was/am suuuuper upset. I still don't have the bracelets and won't get them in time for the event Tuesday.
