G. Q.
They lie! TOTALLY!
Nov. 15, 2023 - Ordered the Advent Calendar on their website -- it was available and received confirmation of my order. Nov. 18, 2023 - Contact Us message sent to ask if my order qualifies for the Black Friday promotions. Nov. 24, 2023 - Email response to Nov. 18 query - Advent Calendar is not part of promotions. Nov. 24, 2023 - Email received advising my order was shipped on Nov. 22, 2023 and provided Canada Post Tracking number. Nov. 24, 2023 - Confirmed Kiehl's charged my credit card. Nov. 29, 2023 - Called Kiehl's Customer Service -- bad connection so CSR, Syeda said she would call back. No call back, instead I got an email. "We regret to inform you that we were unable to stock our Advent Calendar due to the overwhelming demand for it during our Black Friday promotion. This item was not recorded as unavailable at the time you submitted your purchase however, we are sorry to confirm that it will not be included as part of your order. We truly regret any inconvenience this may have caused, please be aware that a refund will be provided for the missing item. It may take up to five business days for the funds to show up in your account depending on your banking institution." NOTE 5 BUSINESS DAYS FOR REFUND! Nov. 30, 2023 - Sent a snarky message response back to the Email with my displeasure. Nov. 30, 2023 - Ended up speaking with the same CSR I'd spoken to on the 29th and she reiterated 5 business days for refund. Dec. 4, 2023 - Chat with Janella and this time, my refund is now going to take 15 days because they're busy. I guess with all those other refunds they have to process for a whole bunch of other customers they've disappointed! -------------------------- Totally screwed by Kiehl's -- they took the order on the 15th, sent a confirmation telling me product on the way and charged my credit card, then finally told me, oh wait! We oversold because of Black Friday and you have to wait 15 days to get your money back from TODAY, when they said my refund would be processed last week. NEVER AGAIN!! ----------------------------- UPDATE Dec. 18, 2023 After telling me my refund would be processed on Dec. 3, 2023 when I wrote the review, guess what???? After checking my credit card account and not seeing anything, I wrote asking about it on Friday, Dec. 15. I received an email today, saying my refund has been processed TODAY! Too bad I can't give them a negative rating, because I would!!
