PromGirl Awesome customer service and overall purchase experience

I am just so amazed at both your customer order, receipt and return service! I ordered a mother of the bride dress online from prom girl on a weekend and it arrived within 2 business days. I found a dress in a bridal boutique for three times the price that I found the exact same dress online. I will admit I was a bit skeptical about ordering a dress on line as I wasn't sure if it would be the same quality or service. However after some research decided to order. Firstly I was amazed at how quickly it arrived. However I was disappointed in that the jacket was a different size from the dress. I decided to use the chat function and contact prom girl. Cynthia assisted me during this chat and by the time I got off the chat a replacement dress had been sent. I received it in two days. THank you prom girl for the excellent and speedy customer service.

PromGirl Second review

So this is my second review and my experience with the company was fine. I of course was very hesatent to order from them because of the reviews but I was so fed up with looking online and only finding Chinese based websites. Promgirl is located with the US so I was pleased with that. Shipping was fine for me, my dress was shipped the day after and received it literally in one week. It would've been soon but it was memorial day weekend so :/ I feel like people shouldn't order the fast delivery. They delivery fairly quickly I find 3-7 days and I just read that the fast delivery only shows up late. Also if you are still hesitate I strongly suggest that you look for dresses in stores. Its hard to tell which websites are good also if you have a problem with the dress I've read the policy sucks so just shop in person if you can. I hope you this helped someone!

PromGirl So happy!

I had my fair share of concerns about ordering a prom dress online, so I was a bit nervous when I found a dress I loved through promgirl and decided to go ahead and buy it. Luckily for me, I could not be more pleased. The dress was shipped the very next day and I was able to track my package until the exact moment it was on my doorstep... and it was right on time! It took me two days to get my dress and it was packaged very nicely. As I was cautious about not being able to try it on before I bought it, I did a lot of measuring while consulting the size chart and a few consultants on the website. The dress fits like it was made especially for me it's crazy! Also, not a single flaw was on the dress anywhere. The fit was great, the length was long enough, the details were spectacular, I am so, so incredible happy. I've never reviewed a website before but I had to because I was just so pleased. From initially being a bit skeptical I am now over the moon. 10/10.

PromGirl I saw a dress I liked at TT New York for prom and loved

I saw a dress I liked at TT New York for prom and loved it... but it was $300. I went online to prom girl and saw the same exact dress for $99. I wasn't sure if I should order because of the bad reviews, but I ordered anyway. I used a coupon for free overnight shipping ("PGCoupUP" exp. 7/1) and my dress was here the next day, no problems. Since I tried on the dress at a different store, I was almost 90% sure it would fit, and it did. The only thing that bothered me is that I asked a customer service representative if it came with a shawl and she told me no... but it did. I definitely wouldn't order a dress from here if I wasn't able to try it on or if I had a hard color to match up... the policy is right there on the website so I don't see how you're upset at the company... because they charge a restocking fee and return shipping. Most dress shops are final sale for ALL of their dresses and don't even offer store credit... but anyways besides the rep, shipping was fast, free and my dress came in perfect condition.

PromGirl Very pleased!

I ordered a gown from here months ago for a military ball. It was a final sale dress so I was taking a chance, but it ended up fitting and looked gorgeous for under $150. I plan on buying a simple white dress for my elopement soon as I loved the whole promgirl experience. My dress fit so well and shipped very quickly. The packaging of the dress even made me happy. Ordering such expensive dresses online is risky because you can't try them on before you pay for them, but if you're willing to take that risk, promgirl is a great website.

Some of the 1 star reviews on here are ridiculous. You need to read all the policies before you pick out a dress. If you get pay for three day shipping, it means three business days like 99% of other online sellers. If you pick out a final sale dress like I did, it's a big gamble but that isn't promgirl's fault. If the dress looks to be a different shade than what is offered, maybe your computer screen is off or the designer's pictures are adjusted by the designer. Promgirl isn't the manufacturer so it isn't their fault if a dress looks different. They sell authentic dresses from designers and they often have the absolute best prices from what I've seen. Do your research and figure out if you're okay with their policies. Don't complain if you don't look at their return policies and then are shocked when 10% of your refund isn't given back due to restocking fees.

PromGirl WILL ORDER AGAIN! MAYBE EVERY TIME WE NEED A DRESS!

My daughter had an upcoming prom and I mean in like 7 days. Last dress we bought for a semi put a $485 hole in my pocket. That dress was ordered from a "boutique" in our area. When she said she was asked to prom I wasn't too excited as I knew what it would cost me.
She kept looking online and had her heart set on a dress from a certain website. Now, she doesn't realize internet safety and what scams look like and webpages can make their own reviews. She thought the reviews on the webpage were so great! So, I did my research and found nothing good about this certain dress website and a whole pile of complaints. Buying anything from there wasn't happening!
She brought up PromGirl and again I was hesitant. I looked at reviews from all different review sites and everything said was good. I looked at their dresses and the prices and figured something had to be "off". They were so beautiful and so cheap!
We had to act fast as again, prom was just a week away. (She likes to procrastinate. I kept thinking our seamstress is going to be mad that we were there last minute for alterations.) We ordered a $140.00 dress with the 3 day express shipping. Box came later the next day! Dress was EXACTLY as pictured and fit her PERFECT!
I couldn't believe it! From now on we are ordering from PromGirl! I couldn't be more satisfied with everything!
When your a mom to a teen girl you know what I mean when I say they think nothing wrong of ordering something off any website. They have no concept of how much something is what bills you have to pay that month. When they need something its always last minute! I'm just grateful that next prom season won't cost a fortune as we will be ordering from PromGirl!

PromGirl Should have read the reviews before buying. EXACTLY WHAT THEY SAID!

Just like everyone else has talked about, this website was a HORRIBLE to deal with. They have soo many policies in place to make sure that it is IMPOSSIBLE to return the dress, unless you basically send it back the day you got it. I sent the dress back to get a refund, they emailed me to tell me it was over their date and I would have to PAY THEM shipping to have them ship my dress back, or the dress would just sit there and wouldn't give me a refund.
The gentlemen on the phone was rude, condescending and unhelpful. I kept trying to talk to someone who would help me out and basically got no where. When I finally got a hold of someone else to talk to, she basically said " I am the one who told him to tell you these things". They talked about the condition of the dress and being in smokey homes or with pets and that can damage the dress and quality... My stepdaughter tried on the dress 1 time. We don't smoke and we don't have pets... They had the dress there. If it didn't pass some sort of inspection or something, I would understand, but it sat in the box that it came in!
We found out that the dress wouldn't work pretty much right away, so I contacted them to let them know that I wanted to return in. Oh and yippie, you don't get the full refund because of a restocking fee! The dress was at my step daughters mothers house, so it took a little bit more time for her to bring over and return. Apparently you only have like 5 days to get it back to them. So since it was over the 5 days they couldn't accept it.
I was told by the customer service department that these are similar policies to other companies. WRONG i ordered dresses from a ton of other places online and have NEVER had this problem. In fact I ordered a dress for her to try on around the same exact time and sent it back the same time and they took it back, 100% refund.

You can tell by the comments that this Kim is giving that you don't actually respect feedback. I work in a customer service retail business... and EVERY single book you will read about successful leaders and companies do the exact opposite of what you guys are doing. All you do in your comments is tell people why they are wrong and why your policies are in place. You still sell the dress I tried to return to you. So your excuse of it being "seasonal" is a load of crap.

No wonder you have to search to give you guys a review... I have a feeling you have hid them so people can't see it.

I guess I am most floored by how unhelpful the costumer service department was. They were not willing to help in the slightest. Just kept telling me about their policies. It still doesn't make sense. I work with people every day and this goes against everything we teach our people. It's just sad.

PromGirl Prom Girl: Terrible Customer Service, Don't Bother Ordering From Them!

Don't even think about ordering from Prom Girl! I had such a bad experience with them, and I don't want anyone else to go through what I did. They told me that I could return a dress my daughter bought even though it was past the 7 day return policy. But when I tried to return it, they said that they didn't have any record of the extension and refused to take the dress back. Can you believe that? This is the second time this has happened to me. The first time, I had to fight with them to get a refund, and it was a huge hassle. This time was even worse - they were totally rude and acted like it was my fault that they lost the record of the call. It was a "too bad, so sad" kind of attitude, and I was really disappointed.

I'm pretty sure that they lost the call recording on purpose - they knew they were in the wrong and just didn't want to admit it. And to make it even worse, they promised to have a supervisor call me back, but no one ever did. It's been two months now, and I still haven't heard anything. It's just ridiculous.

If you're thinking about ordering from PromGirl, don't do it. They treat their customers horribly, and their customer service is pretty much non-existent. I'm not the only one who's had problems with them, either - if you read other reviews, you'll see that lots of people have had issues with returns or getting refunds. It's just not worth the headache. So save yourself the trouble and avoid Prom Girl at all costs.

PromGirl PromGirl's Shipping Error Ruined My New Year's Eve: A Cautionary Tale

I got myself a smashing dress for a fancy New Year's Eve party in vibrant New Orleans from PromGirl. I was excited to receive it and flaunt it on a night of glamour and blitz. I confirmed the date of my event and the shipping address, which was in New Orleans. As I waited eagerly, I got an email notification that my dress had shipped, and I was elated. The day before the party, my mother called me all the way from California and told me that the dress had arrived at her place, and the shipment label in the box showed my intended address in New Orleans.

I was thrown off balance, and all my excitement waned when I realized the gravity of the situation- I had to get my dress in time, and there was no time to waste. My options were limited, and I had to choose one- ship or kiss my dress goodbye. I had already gotten all my accessories that matched the gold dress I had ordered, and I refused to let it go to waste. My mother had to spend a whopping 100 dollars to get the dress overnight shipped to me before the party kicked off.

I was livid, and my pleasure had turned into anger and disappointment in Promgirl. I immediately called them and explained the situation, and they owned up to their mistake and confirmed that they had shipped to the wrong address. However, they couldn't do anything to reship another dress my way in time for the event. I was despairing as I had already made alternative arrangements to secure my dress through my mother, at an extra cost that was not planned.

I tried to plead with them to refund the shipping costs, but they were adamant, and no action was forthcoming. I felt abandoned, and my trust in PromGirl was shaken to the core. I faxed every piece of information they requested to prove my case, but still, nothing happened. I felt like they were insensitive and lacked communication skills to address an issue that was caused by their company.

Promgirl has an extensive collection of gorgeous dresses, and I cannot dispute that. However, I would advise caution when dealing with them. They lack proper communication channels and might not be reliable when it comes to shipping accurate information. As for me, I am grateful that my mother had the money to ensure that I got my dress in time for the party. I would not wish this terrible experience on anyone, and that's why I want to share it with you.

PromGirl PromGirl Review: Don't trust their return policy and customer service, it's a joke. Don't waste your money on them

I got this dress from PromGirl for my daughter's prom and it just doesn't fit. Mind you, I already bought it back in March for the June prom, but it's too late for an exchange. PromGirl won't allow it, even though I'm not asking for my money back, I just wanted a different size. They sell prom dresses online but are not willing to accommodate exchanges unless it's within seven days. But who knows if a dress will fit in just a week? When I got in touch with their customer service, they said that a return and an exchange was the same thing. The return policy on their website is so confusing. And when I tried to clarify that there was a "no wear date" in June, I was told that my dress couldn't be considered exchanged because I didn't wear it. What a joke.

I'd advise you all to think twice before getting a dress from PromGirl, unless you're ready to take the risk of losing everything - the purchase price, tax, and shipping fee. It's just plain ridiculous. I've been shopping online from I don't remember when, and I've never given a bad review before. The customer service rep even hung up and stopped answering my calls. If I can't trust that, then I don't know what I can trust.

I'm a customer and I had the misfortune of dealing with this company and I'm telling you, don't waste your money on them. Why wouldn't they care about repeat sales? They're even linked with SimplyDresses.Com and BelleOftheBallGowns.com -it's the same number for all of them. But I won't even give them a rating. Instead, I'll stick to buying from sites that are known for their quality service.

PromGirl Disappointed with PromGirl Customer Service: A Review

So, I wanted to share my experience with PromGirl with everyone here. I gotta say, I was pretty disappointed with the customer service I received when I called their hotline. I mean, I know people are tough on these websites, but I think I have a right to rant a bit.

Here's what happened. I ordered this amazing $378 dress for my prom and paid 30 bucks for overnight shipping. I ordered it on a Thursday night, so I figured it would get here on Friday. But no, it won't be here until Monday. If only I had ordered earlier on Thursday, it would be here by now, which is Saturday. But I shook it off, thinking I'll survive.

But then I called customer support to ask what the heck is going on. The woman on the other end was so rude to me. I don't even know her name, but she made me feel like an idiot. I called back and asked to speak to a manager. Luckily, the manager was super nice and made me feel better. She said that she'd received complaints before about the rude woman and promised to do something about it.

I didn't get reimbursed for the overnight shipping, but the manager's kindness won me over. PromGirl has a great selection of dresses, and I'd order from them again. But watch out for those rude reps on the phone and be sure to ask for the manager if you get one. Companies should always strive to make their customers happy.

PromGirl PromGirl Review: Terrible Quality, Hidden Fees, and Poor Delivery

This website is not worth your time or money. I made the mistake of ordering from PromGirl and it ended up with me having to pay $104 and still not having a dress for my friend's wedding. As with any other website that I've purchased dresses from, I ordered three different sizes to make sure I got the perfect fit. In total, I spent around $1000 on those dresses. However, none of them looked or fit like the pictures shown online. I was so disappointed that I returned them the very next day.

But things didn't end there. PromGirl charged me a 10% restocking fee for each dress. I wasn't aware of this fee before purchasing from them, as it was written in small print somewhere on the website. So I ended up losing even more money just because I wanted to find the perfect dress.

If that's not enough, the box my dresses came in was torn and almost destroyed. Even their shipping and handling left much to be desired. I had to pay $30 extra for express shipping, as I wanted the dresses to arrive before the weekend. Plus, they charged me another $8 for the return shipping fee. All in all, it was a very disappointing experience. I wish I had never ordered from them in the first place.

If you're looking for a reliable and trustworthy website to purchase dresses from, PromGirl is not it. They'll take your hard-earned money and give you nothing in return.

PromGirl PromGirl Ruined My Prom Experience: Horrible Return Policy and Customer Service

I gotta tell ya, this situation I am in is just completely ridiculous. As a high schooler, I saved up my pennies to buy myself a dress for prom on PromGirl's website. I thought that it would be way smarter if I got the dress way in advance, just in case something goes wrong or there's a dress I like better, right? But no, that wasn't the case at all. They just ended up ruining my whole prom experience.

I dropped a whooping $300 on the dress and after getting it in the mail, I realized that it was a bit too big. It was definitely not something I could fix myself and didn't want to pay for alterations that weren't guaranteed to turn out well. So, I went online to get a return number and I remember looking over their return policy like the back of my hand, just to make sure I did everything right.

I waited for a couple of days to hear back from them about my request and when I didn't get anything, I assumed that it'd show up soon. But after two whole weeks, I was getting a bit impatient and decided to contact their customer service team. They told me that it was already past the return period, even though I had submitted a request in that timeframe. I kept going back and forth with the customer service rep, trying to make them understand my situation but they wouldn't budge. They didn't care that I was just a high school student who had saved up for this dress and wouldn't accept my explanation that there may have been a mistake in the system.

Needless to say, I was beyond ticked off. I couldn't believe that they weren't willing to help me out when I explained that I couldn't afford to keep the dress that I wasn't even going to wear. The whole experience was just bogus. It ended up ruining my prom experience and let me tell you, guys, it's not easy trying to come up with $300 again on short notice. I'm just really frustrated and I wouldn't recommend this site to anyone.

PromGirl PromGirl Review: Horrible Experience with Faulty Dresses and Poor Customer Service

I gotta admit, I had a very bad experience with PromGirl. My first order arrived with a default on the dress, wasn't happy at all! So, I contacted them and they sent me a shipping label to send it back. But guess what? The second dress came with another fault on it! Can you believe it? One of the straps was longer than the other, I felt like screaming. Yet again, I had to send pictures and the dress back. After a lot of back and forth, they promised me that the new dress would arrive on time without any default. But it didn't! I was supposed to be a bridesmaid at my best friend's wedding and I didn't have a dress to wear.

I was so disappointed. I called them back to cancel everything and asked for my money back, but it was a hassle. Their customer service was poor, to say the least. Every time I called, I felt like I was talking to a robot. I even had to make long-distance calls, which added more money to the total bill. Finally, after a lot of debates, they agreed to give me a refund, which was approximately $300 Canadian dollars.

But that's not the end of it. They told me they had opened an investigation with UPS, and I had to wait for my refund until they received the dress back. I was outraged. Why did I have to wait for my money? It's my money! I couldn't understand. After several days, they called me and promised to send an email for the refund when they received the dress. But here's the kicker: they hadn't even received the first dress back, yet they sent me the second dress. So why did I have to wait for my refund when they clearly didn't even receive the first dress?

I've decided to write this review and let everyone know about the problem. People need to know how PromGirl keeps their money and has poor customer service. I hope they learn from their mistakes and start working on their customer service skills. I'm just happy to say that they are giving me all my money back now, and I hope I never have to deal with them again.

PromGirl Terrible Customer Service, Do Not Use This Website!

This website is totally whack, don't even think of giving them your time and money. The customer service is the worst that I have ever experienced, and they are super unprofessional. I had the horrible misfortune of buying a dress from them in 2011, and it was nothing like the picture. I wanted to return it and get a new one in 2012, even though it had been over a year since I bought it. The lady I spoke with on live chat insisted that it was okay, even though I had doubts. She gave me a return authorization code and I sent the dress back, paying $25 for shipping. I was supposed to receive store credit, but 2 weeks later, I hadn't heard anything. I reached out to them on live chat and was told that my return could not be processed because it had been over a year since I bought it. I was furious! I told the lady that I was given a code and sent the dress back, but she didn't care and basically said too bad. She gave me a number and told me to call the manager, who turned out to be an absolute idiot. This guy couldn't even form a sentence properly and didn't really seem to know what to say. I told him that his company made a mistake and wasted my time, but he acted like it wasn't a big deal. He didn't even ask who gave me the code and didn't seem to care about the mistake at all. Even though it was obviously their mistake, he wouldn't do anything to help me. To make matters worse, they had my dress for over a week and didn't bother to tell me anything until I complained. They didn't even apologize for their mistake. This website is terrible, and I will never use them again.

PromGirl PromGirl Review: Unreliable Shipping & Risky Return Policy for Dresses - Look Elsewhere

So I gave PromGirl a call to see if they had the Sherri Hill 8300 in white and size 2, you know, the perfect prom dress. They told me that it would ship on April 12th but I really wanted to make sure it would be there. The customer service person said that usually, they send out the dresses on that date, but it's possible that it might be delayed for a day or two. She explained that they order the dresses directly from Sherri Hill and don't keep them in their warehouse.

I didn't want to rely on just their word for it, so I called up Kotsovas, the fancy clothes store here in Cincinnati where we got my daughter's homecoming dress last year. They had to order her size from Sherri Hill last year and it only took 5 days to get here, so I thought maybe they could help us out this time. However, they told me that no one in the city can order Sherri Hill dresses anymore for prom. If any stores have them in stock, great. Otherwise, we're out of luck.

I'm glad I didn't order from PromGirl, though. That whole April 12th shipping thing seemed too sketchy, like they were just trying to get us to give them our money without guaranteeing anything. And reading their refund and return policy made me even more wary. I don't want to risk not even getting a dress and still paying hundreds of dollars for it.

We're heading to Kotsovas later today and I'm sure they'll have plenty of beautiful prom dresses for my daughter to choose from. It might cost us a little more, but at least we're supporting our local store and we know for sure that we'll get what we pay for.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend PromGirl for prom dresses. It's too risky and there are better options out there. Just be careful and do your research before buying from any online store.

PromGirl Beware of Hidden Delivery Charges when Shopping at PromGirl from Ireland

So if you reside in Ireland and are planning to shop at PromGirl (promgirl.com), do not trust their 'International Expedited delivery' options that pop up at checkout. Even if you pay for it, there is more to come, and boy, will it shock you, just like it shocked me!

I bought a dress for a whopping Eur184, and then the dreaded delivery package arrived. I was expected to pay an extra Eur102.80 for 'VAT and Duty' charges, which were payable directly to UPS. You would think they would have mentioned this in the online shopping process, but no! The vague 'Freight and VAT' description in their very small print gives you absolutely no indication of this extra delivery cost.

Not once during the shopping process was I informed of this extra cost. So, not only did I have to pay for the International Expedited Charges when I checked out, but they added another fee upon delivery. And the worst part is, you have to pay or forget about your dress. It's like they have got you by the neck, and they know it.

This is sneaky and a real letdown. Customers deserve to know that there is another costly charge upon delivery. They should make it clear right from the beginning how much extra it'll cost to receive the dress.

I reached out to PromGirl customer service on May 11th and outlined my predicament, but I got an automated response with a link to their terms and conditions, which did not help at all. They showed no willingness to engage in a conversation about their practices.

So, to help someone else avoid this trap, please make sure you're informed about these extra fees before committing to a purchase on PromGirl. Don't fall into the same trap as I did and end up getting robbed at your door.

PromGirl Refund Refusal

I ordered a dress from this site, and it was beautiful. I actually loved the quality of the dress. I decided that it was not what I was looking for, so I returned it. I returned within the the period allowed for returns. They are now refusing to give a refund for the order. They claimed there was a stain on the dress. There is absolutely no way I stained this dress. I only had it on for a total of three minutes. I tried it on and put it right back in the box. They stated that I can just take the loss. They even said it could have been their fault for the stain, but they weren’t sure, so it was my loss.

PromGirl Credit denied

Beware!

I had a $315 dollar credit that they refused to honor. Instead they said I could have 20% off a dress but only if it’s in stock. I was a long time repeat customer. Don’t give these thieves your business!

PromGirl Return services

I placed an order and receive my item which was too small. I processed a return and was told I would receive an email but I never received that email in order to complete my return. Now they do not want to accept my return even though it was out of my control. Customer service has been very useless.

PromGirl Poor quality

I bought my daughter a Sherry Hill dress for prom. When we got it there were 2 small holes along the seams on the sides. After wearing it for 30 minutes there appeared another hole in the seam on the side and also a hole in the seam in the back. My daughter was totally devastated as her prom was only an hour away.
Very very disappointed by the lack of quality making of this dress.
I will never buy another dress from them again.

PromGirl Terrible experience

Please, don't order from them if you don't like to pay for something that has a bad reputation.
My husband always says that before ordering people should read all the information about the website, the company and the way they operate. But people rarely do this. Just like me.

What I can say about the PromGirl website. They ship obviously bad clothes that looks like a cheap crap wrapped in a beautiful cover presented on the website. The only beautiful thing is the photos on the website. The items look completely different. I ordered just once to understand I don't want to deal with them anymore.
High rates for a cheap crap, it's not worth it. The quality is horrendous as well. So run away. Don't waste your money and time.

PromGirl bad quality

I bought 3 dresses and when I opened the package I was a little shocked. The fabric material was so thin that I could see my body through it, it was almost transparent. And it looked so bad sewed and cheap, I couldn't wear it anywhere at all, not even at home. Too bad. One of the dress was with a hole near the sleeve, and another one was a smaller size. The third dress was ok, but still looked cheap and poorly made. Shame on you for selling terrible clothes. They are going to the garbage, don't even want to contact them for a refund, I know it will be a headache.

PromGirl too cheap

I purchased three dresses from them. One of them looked incredibly beautiful on the website and I decided that it had to be mine. But that was just an illusion because what I got was completely different. The fabric material was worse than I only could imagine. I 'd be too embarrassed to wear it even at home, not speaking of going out. Looked tooooooooo cheap. Asked for a refund promising them to send these dresses as usual. They said that it's impossible due to our policies. Great.

PromGirl dress

First and last time I will purchase from this site. They would not accept my return because it was not requested within 7 days. Return policy is misleading, please be sure to read the fine print. A supervisor said that the item is not longer being offered in the size I purchased so they would not make an exception. The dress size was large and of poor quality. Buyer beware!

PromGirl unethical behaviour, delivery problems, rude assistants

I have placed my order on the 24th of May and paid for one business day delivery. The reason why I chose one business day option was that one of my friends was in Chicago and she was coming back to Turkey on the 26th. It was supposed to be in Chicago on the 25th but instead it arrived on the 27th. I tracked my order on the 26th with one of Prom Girl's assistants and I was promised to receive it by 17:30 however it didn't. My friend got back. In order to transfer the parcel to another destination in the US for getting the dress on time for my daughter's prom night I had to pay another extra money. I called Prom Girl for refund but the most annoying person I have ever met said that they can't refund it but the only thing they can do is to charge me for two business days and refund the difference between one day and two days option. A mistake or delay can happen but there is always a way to compensate. If you are not willing to compensate your faults then you should stop making them. I will never ever shop from you again and I will spread this bad experience of mine. I think this shopping site should seriously be renewed and the assistants should be trained not only for their assisting skills but also for their awful attitudes. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO LET PEOPLE'S EXPECTATIONS DOWN.
