Faulty website and no service after the sell
I purchased velvet pleated curtains from IXA that ended up too short because they are pleated. The website asks for the dimensions before pleats, so I assumed they had a formula to determine finished width using a standard pleat spacing. If you use their "Measurement Finder" tool (when it works, as it froze on me numerous times), it assumes a spacing of 1 inch and doubles the width, which exceeded their maximum width. They sent me curtains the width of my space, which is too short with any pleat spacing. When I played around with different pleat spacing, I discovered that they sent only enough hooks for a 5-inch spacing, and I liked a 4-inch spacing better, so had to buy more hooks. So the problem is that the website does not ask what pleat spacing you want and calculate what the extra width of fabric would be. If you are a curtain company, you know that adding pleats adds to the final width, so why would they send me a curtain the width of which was the same as my space before pleats?! I tried to email them several times to return the curtains and got no reply, even though the website says they will respond within 24 hours. They replied to this review by saying that they tried several times to contact me, even though I never recieved any emails from them except the one at the beginning that said that they received my order (they had no trouble contacting me then). While the fabric and sewing was well done, this company (which has no address on their website, but I found out from my bank statement that the company is in Hong Kong!) refuses to deal with customers after the sell. Bottom line, I'm out $311 because they aren't going to do anything about it. Their reply made that clear.
Response from IXA CurtainsJul 9, 2024
We apologize for any inconvenience caused. We have replied to each of your emails within 24 hours and made multiple attempts to communicate with you, but unfortunately, we haven't received a response from your end. Please check your email to see if you can locate our messages. Thank you for appreciating the quality of our fabric and craftsmanship. Regarding sizes, please make sure to follow our measurements finder carefully before placing your order. The curtain head with four-prong hooks has roughly one hole per inch, but not every hole needs a hook. Watching the video will help clarify this.
