I ordered two dresses online on September 26th with the knowledge it would take 7-15 days to process and then 6-8 days to ship. I paid for expedited shipping. Thirteen days in, they told me that one of the dresses was out of stock and asked if I wished to wait longer. Not knowing how long, I stupidly agreed. I did have two questions though: 1. If they would refund my expedited shipping (a measly $1) since it would be late and 2. That I noticed they were still selling the supposed "out of stock" dress and if it was common practice. I asked the second because while I didn't mind waiting, I wanted to know if I would have to account for buffer time in the future. Of course, that question was completely ignored. The first was answered by telling me shipping was free. I pointed out it was not, and they replied refusing to give me shipping citing that it only counted after the item shipped. Fine whatever, it was a dollar. That should've been a warning sign though! So a week later, now nearly 3 weeks after I ordered, I decided to refund the order. I got a message when I clicked the refund button asking if I wished to continued, because my items were "packaged". Curious, I opened a new support ticket to ask about it. I told them point blank I wanted a shipping date or I would refund the order. I got a reply apologizing for my inconvenience and that one item was indeed out of stock, but the other was not. I then got a long wall of text telling me I could essentially wait 10-15 days, get a refund in 7-14 days, or find a replacement item. I told them I didn't want the replacement item, especially after realizing I would still have to play a guessing game as to if the item was out of stock or not and that I would like them to ship the item that was in stock and that I fully expected them to pay for the standard shipping for the inconvenience. Again, they refused, stating the items would be shipped together - meaning I would have to hope the other dress didn't go out of stock during the wait time - and that they had TOLD me in a previous email that if the processing time was 3 days then it was in stock. What? So to recap: 1. They blatantly lied to me on telling me something. Believe me I checked. And 2. They expect their customers to know that 3 day processing time = in stock and 7-15 day processing time = out of stock. Ridiculous. What's more, they changed the new processing time to 5-10 days in the course of one email chain. So what is it? Can I expect to wait a FOURTH week for you to either ship it of a FIFTH? Not that it matters at this point. So I asked for a refund. I got a refund confirmation email within 15 minutes, but was told it would be still 7-14 days and it would essentially depend on the credit card company. I think I am going to call the company now and report potential fraud at this point. If I can't expect them to have an item they are selling on their website to be in stock, how can I trust these goons to process a refund in a timely manner?
EDIT: I also want to amend this review to show that Dresslily enjoys gaslighting their customers. Exhibit A is the comment below telling me about their processing time despite me acknowledging in this very review that I was aware of it and was happy to wait the 7-15 days. However, I will say this, the refund came through. Why they felt the need to privately message me on here to tell me that is extremely troubling, but hey! I got my money back.
