On October 12, I ordered a La Creuset Dutch oven as an engagement gift for my son and his fiancé. I received notice that they would receive the gift within 3 to 5 days, it was not shipped. After two calls to WS customer service, I called today and pushed for a resolution. Finally, it was determined that they had billed my credit card $3.00 above the invoice figure I had. I never got an email to inform me of this mistake and the two previous calls had not revealed this. Ridiculous. I asked to speak with a Manager and after a hold of 25 minutes, I never spoke to the "Leadership" person, I was told they would "forgive" their mistake and ship the gift which was now over a month late. No bank is ever going to authorize a payment above what their customer has approved. What universe do they live in. I cancelled it and ordered from Amazon. They will have it tomorrow. November 17.
I will NEVER shop Williams Sonoma again. No one should have to put up with such stupidity and arrogance. This company deserves to fail.
Thank you. I feel better!
