the story is that i bought a coat on west broadway store here in new york city for my "birthday" gift; i asked them to ship to my place in new jersey because i dont want to go to the store and waste a trip to get it; plus it needs to be altered and its about $350 in total, they told me it will be about 2 weeks plus shipping time, so i wait..; surprisingly it came in a week, but it is NOT my merchandise...; i called and complained to the store, very "interestingly" that the guy very quickly acknowledged that he knew about the mistake before i told them the whole story, but they did nothing and i receive no phone calls; he told me he is sorry but i have to physically return the wrong coat to the store and i will be taking care when i go to the store.
i went to the store to "return" the merchandise, which is not even my..; the lady who assisted me had a very bad attitude and finally said her first sorry after "30 mins" after she realized my horrible situation; its over 30 mins, no one knows whats going on, she then phoned the manager in los angeles store, the manager in LA wants to talk to me , i goes "what do you want me to say??", he goes" oh i just want to know what do you have to say.."; then i got REALLY angry because what else can i say after 30 mins when they asked me to come here, wasted my shipping cost, return the wrong merchandise..
its not the worst.., finally i came to speak with a guy, who is really nice, because i was so mad that i dont want to talk to that girl anymore; the shop manager (i believe his name is greg, or craig hughes) came over and also acknowledged that he knew about his with a even WORST attitude, simply saying "you can just wait for another 10 days or do the refund, but there is nothing else i can do about it!" then i recall i saw him when i came in the store, he just stood there change his clothes, looked at me and that first girl and did NOTHING...
he told me there is nothing he can do because he cannot physically retrieve my coat from LA, so i have to physically return the wrong coat that is not even my??...whats the point paying $40 to ship my stuff??.. which he should automatically willing to take off my shipping charge, thats at least i want..
i got so mad and talked to my friend who works as a retail manager, he said that i should reach the district manager or corporate office to complain, someone is higher than him; unfortunately a girl told me there is no district manager in the US, everything reports to store manager then reports to UK...; my friend who is a manager at william sonoma thinks that if there is anything ever happened in his store, he is gonna get fired!
last time they shipped my coat in a tiny little box with no hanger or cover or anything, i gave them another shot for my wrinkled coat, but this is def my last chance for this horrible brand.
