Fraudulent business.
This seems to be a fraudulent business. I placed my order on December 9 and never received it. I emailed Marlene’s pet shop and got no response. I sent a message to them in Messenger and also got no response. I want a refund, but since the business is unresponsive, I’ll probably have to dispute the charge with my bank and report Marlene’s Pet Shop as fraudulent in order to get a refund. I don’t want to have to do that, but the business is giving me no choice. My experience with this business has been a major hassle. Save your time and money and buy from a different company!

Hi Lisa, I am Sarah! Just wanted to respond here publicly even though we did chat over email. First of all, I do apologize for the delay of the order. We are a rather small shop and we went trending on Instagram over Christmas and because of the shipping delays during Christmas...your order was in fact late. We do apologize for that. Small businesses simply do not have the ability to respond to demand spikes as Walmart, etc. But I wanted to clear it up with everyone that you did get your package (it was late - instead of 3-5 days. We are sorry about this) and we are happy to refund you 100% if you'd like for our tardiness. Please send us an email at [email protected] and we'll make the situation right. At the end, you get to keep the toys and we can give you the money back! Again, we do appreciate you supporting small business but we simply cannot provide next day shipping like Amazon can - your package was late and it's unacceptable, we understand but I just wanted to respond in public to clear everything up. Thanks! Sarah
