Extremely Rude Customer Service
DON'T EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY. Today, 8/12/11, my mother received a magazine from Catalog Favorites. The problem is she died 7 years ago, I get these magazine from time to time and when I call the customer service person very graciously removes her name from their list. When I called Catalog Favorites, a woman by the name of Nancy answered. When I explained the problem, she stated, "I guess she doesn't need magazine." I became very angry stating, "How dare you to make such a snide comment." and demanded to speak to her supervisor. She put me on hold for several minutes and eventually a woman by the name of Jill, Operator 505, answered and I asked if she was Nancy's supervisor. She stated she was a team lead and refused to transfer me to Nancy's supervisor. She was extremelly rude and I hung up on her. Once again, NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY.

Miss-sized clothes
March 2010 I ordered 5 items - 3 decorated sweatshirts and 2 tops. One is still on back order after one month.
The sweatshirts are way too big and the one top is too small. One top is just right - true to size.
There is no way for customers to offer a review on company's website.
Return postage is not part of the deal.
I spoke with the customer service representative who informed me that the company could not provide returns "just based on size." I could hear the disgust in her voice as she relented and informed me that she would send return postage-free label.

They don't answer emails. I bought some garden figurines. They arrived broken. I spent over $10 to return them. When I received the replacement, it was broken as well. I have ordered items more delicate than this and they have been packaged well enough to arrive intact. I'm just keeping the broken replacement and trying to fix it because I don't want to spend another $10 to return it.
I also ordered a pendant that was suppossed to come with a 24" silver chain. The chain didn't arrive. I emailed them about it and also wrote on the slip that I returned with the broken figurines (all in the same order) that I hadn't recieved it. Well, I still haven't received it.
Horrible, horrible customer service! I like their catalog but won't be ordering from them again.
Deplorable Customer Service
I placed an order with Catalog Favorites for an item that was to be personalized for as birthday gift. I ordered it in early September because the birthday was September 30th. They charged me for the item and sent it to me without the personalization. I returned the item along with a note requesting the personalization be expedited due to the error as I needed to mail this gift to Florida from Massachusetts. I also included a copy of the postage to be reimbursed to me. On September 30th I received an e-mail from them stating that they were shipping the item to me. That same day I noticed that I had been recharged for that item and no postage was credited back. I called them regarding this charge. I also asked them why they had not reimbursed my postage. They had no record of the postage receipt I had sent in. I asked them why they do not scan or save the correspondence sent in to reference back to (shabby job). She told me that is not their policy they just through it out (nice). She advised me that a refund for the charge was put through today. She said it was the company's policy to refund the item and then recharge it. I told her I could not understand that since it only required personalization not new item. Since she did not have the postage receipt and I was not going to spend hours looking for my copy she took my word for it and credited me back $6.90. Those credits go through fine but now it is October 8th and I still do not have the item for the Sept 30th birthday. I call the company again and this time speak with Tina. She tells me the item is still in the warehouse. So I ask her if I am going to get this item this year or next. She hears my whole story and my frustration and then looks into the matter for me. She comes back and informs me that the item is still in the warehouse. I am appalled and very upset. She advises me that due to the mishandling of the order she would refund the original postage for me. I thanked her for taking ownership of the problem and was very grateful. I received the refund for the original postage and the order was finally sent FED EX but I was recharged $21.20 for the item. So there I was again having to call back to the company about the recharge. This time I decided not to speak with anyone other than a supervisor. I was connected to Dana who identified herself as a supervisor when asked. She would not give me her last name. She said it was company policy. I was very heated and upset and explained to her that I was recharged for this item. She kept going back to the fact that a refund was put through on Sept 30th. She could not grasp the fact that I was charged three times for the same item but credited back only once. I told her I did not want to dicuss this any further and wanted my $21.20 credit to be put through immediately. She hung up on me. I was so exasperatd over this whole ordeal I called back to get the name of the owner, president or CEO of the company. The person I requested the info on put me on hold and I am writing this message while on hold. It has now been 50 minutes and she has not come back to me with the info. This is the very first order I have placed with this company and I can assure you it will be my last. I will spread the word to everyone In know. With the internet this info can reach millions. This is not the kind of word of mouth advertisement a company should be looking for. They have a huge, huge customer service problem. When I mentioned this to Dana the supervisor she just said "oh, that's nice". So much for constructive criticism.

I ordered a ceramic bowl that arrived in a lot of pieces because it was not packed well. They would not accept some pieces back but wanted me to mail the entire large bowl back at my expense, saying that they would reimburse me later. I have catalog shopped for years and was an early adopter of online shopping. In 25 years or so, i have had to return things only twice and a label for free shipping as well as pick up from my home was provided in both cases. There is a 3 day blizzard coming and i am elderly. A trip to the post office is not high on my list of fun things to do today.
I get billed for two months and I do not belong to catalog favorites saving, I have no account number and when I try to reach you, I have to log in. How can I login when I have no number or anything? Please take my name off your list and do not charge my bank account anymore. When I called my phone number did not even come up. So please take my name off your list. Carolyn Batt
I would like to know the political affiliation of this corporation. They sell anti-Obama tee shirts and pro-Donald Trump tee shirts, both of which I find offensive. I would prefer that my clothing catalogs not sell any partisan political items--save that for the novelty catalogs. I am looking for quality clothing, accessories, and jewelry, not low-quality trash.
I, ordered a 'Personalized Masonic Polo Shirt X Large with name and lodge'. With limits of 22 letter/space for each. They sent with out any personnel information. Don't expect any thing to be delivered correctly...
Do not use debit card with this company!. ordered my wife a pair of boots for Christmas Dec 2014, guess they were out of stock so they sent me a shoe that was wrong size, wrong color and was not a boot.called them cancelled order, and returned shoes.

Did Not Fullfill and Will Not Assist
I placed an order for some guitar mugs that are not too easy to find. I had purchased three before and waited for them to come into stock. I was able to order the rest of them but a few days later - today 4-10-09 - they cancelled my order stating they no longer carried the item.
I called for help to find out who else I could get them from, or if they are not using the supplier to tell me who that is so I might be able to find them. I got the complete runaround with a lame excuse that they were doing inventory when I placed my order and now that they are done they don't have the item and don't use the manufacturer. When I asked who made them, I got the next lame excuse that they had a contract and could not provide that information. When I asked why they could not forward my request to the manufacturer if they did not want to tell me, they said it was against their contract. So as I reasoned that if they don't use that company, and will no longer be carrying the item, why couldn't they help me - they just were silent.
They advised me to google the mugs - I had them do it with me to prove that the only company that comes up is theirs. I had to press for the number of their CEO and then I had to call for the # myself because they would not transfer me to them. Lame. Do not buy from this company at all.
The CEO...I got his answering machine. If you can help me, please do. j.[protected]@att.net

I rec'd terrible customer service from Catalog Favorites today. They do not respond to the emails that are sent to their help@catalogfavorites.com email address. They are rude and argumentative over the phone. I will never order from this company again. They state that it takes 10 business days for their order to ship ONCE it leaves the warehouse. It took 6 business days for my order to leave the warehouse (and the goods were in stock). So, it is actually taking almost 3 weeks for my order to be delivered. Besides all of that, they are shipping to the wrong address. I tried to contact them via their email the same day that I placed the order to correct the ship to address without any response. It was very frustrating dealing with them over the phone. They told ME, the customer, that I was not listening! I attempted to cancel my order and requested that they email me a confirmation of my request and I was told that they do not have email access?
Catalog Favorites - Terrible customer service - do not order from this company!

At this point I'm no...
