Terrible service, customer-hostile behavior
I don't generally leave bad reviews of companies -- most bad experiences I have could easily be one-offs as a result of someone having a bad day or just my own bad luck. Linoto is different, unfortunately. I placed an order in mid-November for some bedding products. Their website listed a 3-4 week lead time. After four weeks had passed with no updates, I e-mailed them. A week later, they replied, saying my order would likely be ready in February. Well, I needed a duvet cover sooner that that -- my cat was pulling threads out of our new comforter. And, frankly, if you've got a three-month lead time, you should say so. It took me two more weeks to get them to acknowledge my cancellation request. They said they'd forward it to the right people. Well, today, about two months after ordering, they called me and left a voicemail saying my order was ready, and asked if I'd consider NOT cancelling. Well, I was busy and missed the call. By the time I called them back, they were out of the office. They have no voicemail. And to top it off, they've now sent me a shipping notification. The icing on the cake? They charged me when I placed the order, so I've had $500 tied up for two months with no product to show. I don't know yet how this story ends, except that I'll get my money back one way or another. Regardless, Linoto's customer service is SHOCKINGLY terrible, and has been consistently terrible throughout this process. Please, do yourself a favor and skip this brand.

Hello, Thank you so much for feedback. We are sorry if you felt this way and we did our very best to communicate lead times which were 4-5 weeks at the time your order was placed on 11/27/20. We use these lead times to plan, cut, sew, wash, pack and prepare the orders. Due to the amazing number of options for size and color, not every combination is always in stock. During the holidays, a banner was placed at the top of the homepage, on the product pages, and in the order confirmation explaining that orders placed on or around Thanksgiving might take extra time and may not arrive before Christmas. The inquiry we received asked about delivery with the condition to cancel ONLY if the lavender duvet cover you ordered had not been started. We only called because we were trying to give you an update about your order. At that point it was not only started but nearly complete and was in fact shipped on 12/22/20, 3 weeks after the order was placed and well within the timeframe stated on our website. We hope you and your cat have been enjoying your sheets and we apologize if you were disappointed by the customer service experience. We are a small company doing our best. Our phone number is 888-954-6686 and our email is [email protected]. We are here to help Monday through Friday 10-6pm EST and you can email us 24 hours a day. Best wishes, Linoto customer support.
