I placed an order on October 10,2023, with an expected delivery date of October 19,2023. However, on October 15, I discovered that my order was still awaiting fulfillment. After contacting customer support, I learned that the item is on back order, and the new estimated delivery is early December. This came as a disappointment, especially since the item is coming from India, causing the delay.
I wish this information had been disclosed upfront, as I purchased the item as a gift for a friend. If I had known about the back order, I would have reconsidered my purchase. The customer representative acknowledged that this lack of disclosure is a common concern and apologized for the inconvenience. Feeling a bit deceived and frustrated, I've decided not to shop with Z Gallery again.
Additionally, I've tried contacting corporate offices, but am constantly being brought to the automated system with no human to direct me to the proper department. What is going on with this company?
