If I could give this company 0 stars I would. I ordered a puzzle 2 and a half months ago never received any email or anything I just got a email 3 days ago saying my order was cancelled. This is the worst company I have ever dealt with and the most unprofessional place. I don't know how they are in business. Stay away unless you like getting mad. I hope nobody makes the mistake and orders from this place
First I ordered 3 puzzles. They charged me $10 for shipping all 3. Then a week later, I see my credit card has been billed a different amount. I went back to my order and saw that one puzzle was backordered. I called their customer service line. They said I would receive the 3rd puzzle when it was available, and I would not be charged shipping on it. A few days later I received an email stating that the puzzle was never going to be available, so it was cancelled. 2 weeks later, still no puzzles. When I called them, they said my puzzles were sent to someone else by mistake. Due to high demand they said they could not replace my puzzles. So after about 4 weeks, they tell me no puzzles are coming my way. They said they had reimbursed my card. Case closed? Nope! They shorted my credit card reimbursement. When I asked about this, they said it was an 'error' and that they were sending me a check for the balance, along with a discount coupon for my future purchases. Anyone care to guess what I did with the coupon?
Stay away! Ordered puzzles on April 1 for my Grandmother's 98th birthday on April 25. Puzzles were marked as "in stock" and estimated delivery in 1 week. Puzzles still not delivered or even shipped on May 12. Company will not respond to my messages. Don't use this company.
Ordered a puzzle online for $9.99 with $7.99 shipping and when checkingout was offered a free puzzel with my purchase. So I selected to receive the free puzzel. I then receiived an email stating the puzzel I had purchased was on back order. But my free one would be sent out. My debit card was charges $8.19. Then the next day I was sent an email stating that my order had been cancelled. I did receive the free puzzel in the mail for what I can only assume was a shipping and handling charge. So now I had a puzzel I dont want for something that was supposibly free with my purchase that was cancellesd after this free puzzel was processed. I should have been able to cancel the complete order if they were not able to give me what I ordered. Not cool!
Used 150 dollars of gift certificates to buy puzzles, after submitting order charged our credit card instead and are refusing to refund money.
Second (and last) time ordering from them. Last order was on 12/2 and STILL waiting. Quick to take your money, but very S-L-O-W to ship. I don't think they really care either. Just an FYI... Bits and Pieces, Jigsawpuzzles.com and Spilsbury are all the same company with lousy service.
Third time ordering. They were extremely slow the first two times, I gave them one more chance. Again very disappointed. No communication. Had to call this things time, as I did before. Was told 3 puzzles ready to ship, and they were waiting for 4th one to come in. I said send the 3, and refund on 4th... cause I did not want to wait 2 more weeks. They refused to refund money! Told me they will ship the 3... and for me to call back once they ship those, and tell them to refund me on the 4th one. I hope they told me the truth about sending the 3 now. But I doubt it. They lied about the date the 4 the one would be in. Says on their website Dec 8. Lady told me on phone, the 15th. That's their way of getting your money. When I asked for refund, she put me on hold and said "Let me see if that's a possibility.". This is very unprofessional! Poor business practices. DO NOT EVER ORDER FROM SPILSBURY! You will regret it.
I received a catalog and was appalled to find a "dancing solar Jesus" on page 5 and Jesus soap to "wash your sins away" on page 7. Does anyone think these people would dare sell a dancing Mohammad or Allah soap? Why is it people seem to think they can insult and denigrate Christians with impunity? Help put these people out of business - spread the word.
I ordered 4 puzzles. After contacting customer service several times it took two weeks for me to receive them. I asked for a credit or refund. They gave me five dollars off my next puzzle order. That will be wasted because I will never order from this company again.
On November 24 I ordered several items for Christmas stocking stuffers. I received an order that listed 5 items but there were only two items in the package. I called on Dec 10 and was told they would send replacements. Tonight I received notice they had just been sent 11 days later and I could expect them on January 3 well past Christmas. This is a very unprofessional way to handle business and I will never order from them again. What a waste of $25!
I paid $7.99 extra for "express shipping". My order is scheduled to ship (not delivered) for 5 business days after I placed the order. Ridiculous. I don't know when I will actually receive the package. Be careful about spending extra money for so called express shipping.
This is the worse company I have ever dealt with. They are a ripoff! DO NOT order from them! Never received my order. After 4 weeks of waiting, I was told today that my order WAS LOST IN THE MAIL! Really?
So this was my first order to get gifts for recipients BEFORE Thanksgiving as well as ON Thanksgiving day. Ordered 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. Checked mail every day, no delivery. I emailed multiple times. No answer until I "yelled" at them scolding for not getting back. Finally, they responded saying that it would be shipped as soon as possible. Hadn't even been shipped. Waited, waited, 5 days passed, emailed them again. I complained, and they had NOT sent yet! I expressed my disgust with hem which I do not often do. And they apologized promising to RUSH/SPEED MAIL it to me to receive ASAP. That was well over a week ago. I thought it would come the day after they promised me rush mail.
I emailed again, disgusted. They said (different staff member) saying that I would receive it in 5-7 days from their email that day! Do NOT buy from them. I was relieved to see that I was not the only one scammed by and lied at from them endlessly.
I ordered four puzzles online from Spilsbury on Feb. 8. After two phone calls and their explanation that they had changed warehouses and were having problems, I learned that they had started "reprocessing" my order. After two weeks I finally got the order on March 4. I will NEVER order from this online vendor again. All they offer is excuses--no customer service whatsoever.
I ordered an item from an eBay seller, oscon. Us. Azl8pxqh, on 11/29. The listing indicated it would be delivered between 12/14 and 12/28. A few days before Christmas, it still had not arrived and I was told by the seller that it had shipped and would be there by 12/28. It never came. On 12/28, I requested a refund. The seller provided tracking info to eBay showing it had been delivered. I called to appeal and eBay refunded my money, NOT the seller. On January 3, I received a postcard from Spilsbury saying the item was out of stock, not available and "you have not been charged." What a joke. Buyer beware, this company seems to be participating in fraudulent selling on eBay, not to mention hacking into UPS for a phony tracking number.
All puzzles ordered have pieces that were damaged in some sort of way, NOT worth what I paid. I think I could have found better puzzles in a dollar store!
Ordered 11/1/16. As of this date (12/7/16) have not received. Emailed 5 or 6 times with NO response. Called and was told it would be here by Christmas. I check my order status daily, and every day the delivery date has been moved ahead by one day. They didn't have any problem taking my money though!
I ORDERED PRODUCTS VIA THE INTERNET LAST MONTH AND STILL NO PACKAGES. WHEN I CALLED CONCERNING MY ORDER I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD ARRIVE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. I ASKED "WHAT YEAR?" AND WAS DISCONNECTED. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.
I ordered almost $150 worth of puzzles on 11/3/16. I have yet to receive these puzzles even though my check was cashed on 11/10/16. Followup by me shows that the tracking number given by Spilsbury for the FedEx delivery was unknown to FedEx. I have written 2 complaints to this company via E-mail asking either for a refund of my money or immediate shipment of the puzzles. As of yet, NOTHING. I strongly suggest that no one do business with this company. A GREAT BIG HEADACHE
I placed an order several weeks ago and still have not received it. When I called, they said I could expect to receive it maybe by early-mid December. No apologies or compensation were offered to offset this inconvenience. I ordered the present for my mother's birthday and that has already past. A this rate, I'll be lucky to get it by Christmas.
Answer: They don't actually deliver anything. Ever. See my review.
