Hi Veronica,
Thank you for your review. We take all feedback seriously, but we need to correct several points you have made.
When we asked for further information to verify your experience, the email address you provided (j********5@gmail.com) did not match any order in our system, and about reference/order # you told us directly, “I don’t have a reference number". We have searched our records and cannot confirm an order linked to this review. The only related case we could find with the same name 'Veronica' was resolved with the customer receiving a partial refund, keeping all the products and being offered free shipping on a future order, which they accepted. If that was your order, then your concern was resolved with a partial refund as agreed, with no return of products needed at all.
Our top priority is our customers' trust, and we believe in staying as transparent as we can. We have never hidden where our orders ship from. We work with a network of fulfilment hubs worldwide, and each order is dispatched from the hub that holds the size and colour ordered. During busy sale periods, this can mean an overseas warehouse. This is clearly stated in our shipping and sourcing policies, which are widely and easily available on our website and at checkout, and customers are assumed to be aware of these terms when they place an order. If an order was fulfilled from Ningbo, let's say, the return goes back to Ningbo, because items must be received and scanned back into our system at the warehouse they came from before a full refund can be issued. As we offer free delivery, return shipping is the customer’s responsibility, as our return policy states upfront. Nothing about this was hidden at all, and is clearly stated upfront to avoid any hassle for our valued customers.
We have never claimed our designs are exclusive to us. Similar styles appear on many marketplaces, which is common in online retail. Price alone does not reflect quality checks, size guidance, colour ans sizing variety, materials used, customer support or the effort we put into resolving problems, and customers are always free to buy wherever they choose. Our sales change throughout the year with each event, and the offer running today, our Black Friday sale, is not the same one that may have been running when you ordered, because this is a recent promotional event on our website which wasn't there earlier.
We are a real team working hard every day to look after our customers, and we stand by the way we operate. A large number of our customers come back to shop with us again, and many share their experiences in reviews on our website and in the comments on our social media pages, where anyone can see them for themselves. Like any business, we will occasionally have customers who are not fully satisfied, and that is exactly why we go out of our way to help whenever something goes wrong. If you are a customer and still have a concern, please contact us with your order number, and we will look into it to resolve any issues for you.
Team Lowell Sydney
