Ordered via a "closeout" sale on FB. BOGO sari wrap silk skirts. Made an order. Thought everything would be fine. 2 weeks goes by, and no word about my skirts. Emailed them, and was told that "maybe they would be shipped in a few weeks". I wrote them back, because WTH? I thought it was a "closeout", and they were still running the sale on FB... I thought it was a "closeout" so how can they be "out"? And I was told essentially I was too picky about my color requests, so it will probably be a while, but I would receive a free silk tote bag for the trouble. Then I got a bulk email stating that the skirts were backordered, and would be shipped 4-6 weeks from the order date, and there would be a silk tote bag in the order for the trouble, but not to worry, because I was doing a good deed for women in india or whatever (as though that excuses the dishonest business practices). Anyway, exactly 4 weeks from the day I ordered I got an email that the skirts were shipped. Hooray! I was so excited. I got them 3 days later, and surprise surprise... No silk tote bag... No note stating why they were not there. So of course, after all that, I emailed them bcuz WTH? Now they are trying to pull a fast one. After 2 emails, I got an overly chipper email stating that they were OUT of the bags, but they didn't want to delay my order. If that was the case, why no email or note stating that? I would have given the company one star, except that the product seems to be high quality, decently made, and pretty I guess. I probably would have liked them better if I were able to pick my color/pattern myself, but that is a minor beef that I knew about when I ordered, and they did there best to match the preferences I gave them. I won't be ordering from them again.
Dear Kelli,
I'm sorry this is late-- I didn't know this site existed until a few minutes ago!
Thank you so much for providing all of this valuable feedback and using your time to tell me your story! It is very valuable. I am SO SORRY that we screwed up your order and the timeline. I can assure I have been working very hard with my team in India along with my team here in the states to provide a way better experience. I completely own the mistakes we made but I want you to know I've taken action. I've actually let go of my entire customer service team and started fresh because you are right--- they weren't doing the best at their jobs. I also have been working with my operations manager to keep us from getting backlogged. It's a constant battle with US customs, natural disasters and the delicate nature of our facilities at the co-ops we partner with around India. I would love to schedule some one-on-one time with you to see if I can fix this any more for you! Please email me at nicole@darngoodyarn.com and we can set up a time.
Very kindest,
Nicole Snow
