Appalling Customers' Service and No respect for their Clients
Aveda has gone downhill year after year and has recently hit a rock bottom. I would like to start by adding to the reviews about the points. They did exactly the same thing with my pure privilege points. I was mid-way into tier 6. Years of saving the points. Suddenly, they deleted my account. This is an indicator of my loyalty to Aveda and their lack of reciprocation and appreciation. I chased them and it took us a while but we got there in the end and Aveda restored the account. Now that I have been reading all those reviews, I am coming to the conclusion that it is deliberate so they don't honour the points system. They have no right to change their terms and conditions as they please and without notifying the clients in advance. Furthermore, the online orders/website have been dysfunctional and for a long time. I had to call a few times to place my orders via the phone. When I contacted them by email, they kept blaming everything other than the problems with their website. On a few occasions, the discount code wasn't working either. On one occasions, after 3 weeks wait for my order, they blamed Paypal and indicated that orders via Paypal doesn't show on our accounts. Surprisingly Paypal works elsewhere except yours?!!! Blaming everyone other than investigating and sorting the problem, once an for all. Frustrations, waste of time, and they have the most wrong assumptions about that their clients. In addition, it takes them ages to sort the orders and they are using the cheapest courier and any purchased items take 7 days to reach the clients. Their prices are not a bargain either. Most websites endeavour to dispatch the purchased items promptly and use a decent courier service or Royal Mail whereby we receive the items within 2-3 days. I have also made a most recent purchase to include 1 L shampoo. They didn't send the pump with it. I contacted them 3 times by emails and once by phone. Although they claim 72 hrs to reply. It has been 9 days now and no one has bothered to reply let alone take action. Years ago, Aveda used to send a complimentary present. It was a most pleasant surprise. This has also stopped without any notifications and when I enquired I was made to feel like I was begging. Shame on you! The current Aveda staff are totally unprofessional as they have no respect and no care for their clients and/or Aveda's image. They are the worst representative of what used to be an honourable business. Aveda exchanged hands a few times, alas, and things have deteriorated rather than improving. Absolutely disgraceful and unprofessional attitude. It will take a great deal to restore confidence in Aveda.
