I'm writing this cautionary tale from the trenches of my terrible online shopping experience. I usually love supporting boutique sites, but this order was a disaster from start to finish. After waiting weeks past the promised delivery date, the package finally arrived, and my heart sank. The reality was horrifying: the dress was stained and clearly damaged during transit. I was supposed to wear this to a formal event this weekend, but now I’m left scrambling. My direct feeling and conclusion about this experience?
I would not recommend ordering from this retailer unless you enjoy stress and disappointment.
I felt compelled to leave this review and immediately engage with customer service because, frankly, what I received was unacceptable and completely unwearable.
Customer: I received my order, #MC9034, just an hour ago, and I need to know how you plan to fix this. The dress is visibly stained on the bodice and there's a significant tear in the seam near the hem.
CS Rep: I am so incredibly sorry to hear about the condition of your dress, that is absolutely unacceptable, especially given the delay in shipping. Can you please confirm if the exterior packaging showed signs of damage upon arrival?
Customer: The box was a mess, yes, but that doesn't excuse the state of the garment inside. I needed this dress for Saturday, and now I have nothing. What are my options right now? I need a full refund and compensation for the rushed shipping fee I paid.
CS Rep: I completely understand your frustration and urgency. We want to make this right immediately. I’ve initiated a priority ticket for a full refund for both the dress and shipping. We will also send you a prepaid label right now for the return. Would you prefer a replacement item shipped overnight instead, or the immediate refund?
If you have any queries relating to where and how to use GraceQueens Maxi Dresses, you can speak to us at our web site. Customer: Given the quality I received and the timing issue, I can’t trust a replacement to arrive correctly. I need the refund processed immediately. Please confirm the timeline for the funds to return to my card.
CS Rep: I have confirmed the full refund has been processed on our end; you should see the credit within 3 to 5 business days, depending on your bank. Again, we deeply apologize for this disastrous experience.
The reason I left this review on the website is to hopefully prevent others from falling into the same trap.
