Terrible customer service
Unfortunately I have had the same bad experience with GlobeIn as most others have been writing about. I ordered a 3 month subscription on October 5th and have ordered all 3 of my boxes as well as numerous add-ons, Black Friday items and other items from their shop. In total, I am out about $300. To date, I have received 2 items worth a total of $20. I have reached out 3 times to try to get a status on my orders as they were to be Christmas presents for friends and family and have gotten no response. This is terrible customer service and a big disappointment. I understand they switched warehouses, but how is this the customer's fault??? I now have to go out and buy new presents for everyone on my list. This is horrible!

Hi Diane, Thank you for this feedback and we understand this is frustrating. Please note that our Support Team is about 7 business days behind on emails due to the increase we are receiving. You should have received an automated email letting you know that we received your request and explaining our response time at the moment. In early October we moved to a new warehouse with the goal of improving our fulfillment operations. In addition to the new warehouse, we also started working with a new fulfillment company. While we had planned for this transition to be complete by the middle of October, we significantly underestimated how long it would take to set-up a brand new warehouse operation. We now have our own 83,000 square foot warehouse where all our products from our global artisan partners are currently located. We are ramping up our capacity to fulfill all remaining orders and continue to fulfill orders in a timely manner. In addition to the delays with our warehouse move, there are nation-wide delays and restrictions with all major shipping carriers which we did not account for in our previous estimated shipping timelines. Currently, our plan is to have all delayed September, October, and November orders shipped out by Wednesday, December 16th, with thousands of orders shipping out daily. Many of your orders are already packed and ready to be shipped to you. I know we have given you timelines and estimates that have previously been inaccurate and you may have lost trust in our word. However, I can assure you that my team is doing everything in our power to stick to this timeline. Once these orders have shipped we will immediately start to ship December orders as well. This plan and estimated timeline are contingent on our ability to ship out more orders on a daily basis than we are currently. Due to the heightened demand on FedEx caused by increased online holiday shopping and the impacts of Covid-19, FedEx is limiting us to one truckload of boxes per day. This is a temporary restriction through the end of the year and we don’t foresee this being an issue in 2021. One solution we are working towards is using other shipment carriers, in addition to FedEx. Because of this, you may see tracking numbers from carriers like DHL and USPS. Best wishes, The GlobeIn Team
