I do not know what is up with their shipping and their virtual help is terrible
This all began on August 20, 2024 when we ran out of hand soap and my wife saw there was a great deal on B&BW's website. So she went on and bought a bunch of fragrances and paid for it with my paypal account (so I ended up with the receipt). A full month+ went by and nothing showed up. My wife had bought some other soap while we waited so it wasn't top of mind. Anyway, I finally decided to contact B&BW to ask for a refund. Instead I agreed (after some polite coercion) to a re-ship. I accepted figuring there's no way another shipment would get lost. Well let me tell you, it's now Dec 2nd and that second shipment never arrived. And no, it wasn't porch pirates (not a big issue here and besides the tracking never showed it delivered either). I had totally forgot about the order AGAIN but once again we were talking about hand soap and it reminded me. So I did the online chat thing and within-- I kid you not-- 60 seconds the human virtual assistant told me it was over 90 days (which it wasn't if talking about the 2nd order/reship and even if it was, this isn't a request for a return--the company literally took my money and did not provide the merchandise. What's that called? Oh right: Theft. It's theft.) and then he closed the chat. So I gave one star reviews for that very very rude and dismissive person and called the 800 customer service line. I started typing this while on hold....After 25 minutes the rep. said he got the refund approved and low and behold I got a notice from paypal showing that it's been credited to my account. So I'm upping the review to 3 stars from 1, but ONLY because of this customer service rep. Honestly if i could do 2.5 I would, so I'm rounding up. You're welcome B&BW! That said, I would still not recommend ordering from B&BW online. There must be an explanation for their shipping snafus but they never bothered to give it to me and so I can only assume it's still going on.
