Horrible Customer Service
I've ordered a couple of times from e.l.f before and the products were alright. Processing and shipping took ridiculously long, so if you're ordering as a last-minute gift, don't even think about it. Anyways, this review is about the recently launched limited-edition Chipotle x e.l.f Cosmetics collab. I had ordered the palette on the day of the launch where the website said that it was still in stock. I placed the order and received a confirmation email afterwards saying that they got my order, great, so a week passes and I'm like okay this is taking longer than usual, but it was a pretty exciting launch so maybe things are backed up. So I wait another week and check the link that they sent me with my order confirmation again and it still says it's being processed. Fine, whatever, things are taking longer than usual because of COVID and more orders coming in. I finally decide to email customer service 15 business days later to see where the heck my order is and after providing all the information that they rudely asked for I get this response: "Your order(s) were declined. This may occur for several reasons. Please note there is heightened security at certain times, which is for your own protection. Your transaction may have been declined due to your billing zip code not matching, or due to too many attempts to charge the card. The attempt(s) may trigger a pending transaction, but this is not an actual charge and will drop off automatically. This should occur within one business day, but the time frame is dependent upon the policies of your bank. Please note that we do not accept international credit cards for orders shipping to the US. Please contact them directly for more information." First of all, if my order was declined, shouldn't I have gotten an email or something? I've been checking my order updates page and it was always just 'Processing', it never said anything about it being declined or canceled. Second, why was I the one reaching out 15 days later to ask about my order when e.l.f should've been the one to notify me about the situation? The customer service is horrible, unresponsive, and rude. I probably won't be ordering for e.l.f Cosmetics again in the near future.
