Broke up my smallish order into multiple waybills which would require me to pay $40 + in fees (on top of the customs charges) to DHL.
Rosegal support then lied in an attempt to get me to pick up the first of the packages, (and pay the $24 fee for $17 of items) telling me it would be destroyed if I refused it, when in fact it could be shipped back.
I checked with support again, they reassured me when I refused the package it would be refunded in full. I refused the packaged and sent it back, hopefully I get my whole refund, the process has been a huge pain.
EDIT: They signed for and accepted my return on January 28th. No refund for that half of the order yet.
EDIT 2: Have offered a "goodwill gesture" of $25 minus a shipping fee, even though they have received all of my returned items worth $38+
EDIT 3: After weeks of fighting and sending photos of the promises made by their own support team, and pointing to the negative reviews I've left about their site, they refunded me in full, then offered a $10 coupon which I doubt I will ever use.
EDIT 4: They have tried to remove my review on another site by again lying and saying that I wasn't a real customer. I sent in all the evidence of more than 6 weeks of back and forth proving it was a real experience and it was terrible. They have now written about this review and asking for me to change it. I will not, this place and their service is awful.
Dear Zora F,
We regret about this situation.
For the taxes issue:
According to our website's policy import taxes are solely customer’s responsibility.
Once placing an order with us customers agree to our terms and conditions.
The shipper first pays the fee on your behalf, then asks you to pay once they deliver the package to you.
Taxes are charged by the local Customs Office and country regulations are beyond our control.
As it is the customer's responsibility to pay these taxes to receive the parcel, we cannot provide any compensation in such cases.
In order to solve your issue efficiently,could you please provide the valid order number?
We will give you the efficient solutions.
Thanks for your understanding.
Best regards,
Rosegal Customer Service
