DO NOT ORDER! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!
I placed my order on November 27, specifically for a Christmas gift. The tracking information suggested it was stuck in Chicago. Upon reaching out for clarification, I received a response from "Matilde" stating, "Due to warehouse problems, the package was delayed and could not board the last flight. Currently, some products have been shipped by the fastest express delivery method; the rest have been arranged for Hong Kong flights. The plane arrived at ORD in the United States on 12/12." On December 15, I received another email stating, "It has come to our attention that your order was lost/damaged in transit." However, it turns out the package was seized by USPS for counterfeit postage. According to USPS regulations, the package is considered Postal Service property and will not be delivered. The advice given was to contact the sender/merchant for a refund or other available recourse. The customer service at Mine Brick attempted to downplay their responsibility, stating, "We apologize for not being able to deliver the order to you on time. Instead of waiting for compensation from the carrier, we hope to solve the problem for you first!" To add insult to injury, they further apologized for the delay, suggesting that the remade and resent items could still serve as New Year's gifts or birthday presents. As compensation, they offered an EXCLUSIVE 10% off coupon. The suggestion of New Year's or birthday gifts is unacceptable when the order was intended for Christmas, and the exclusive 10% off coupon is inadequate as compensation. My communication with "Vicky" has been less than satisfactory, with responses feeling like generic stock replies. The delayed responses, likely due to their location in China, add to the frustration. Even their responses to reviews here seem generic. Overall, this experience has been extremely disappointing, and I am dissatisfied with the company's handling of the situation. I’m waiting for a full refund. UPDATE: I was told I was issued a refund but said Please note that it may take an additional 2-4 weeks from the date you receive this confirmation email for the funds to be available in your account And again the response below seems generic and no effort to try and make things better for the customer 2nd UPDATE: I was just sent this email asked to delete my review! I am really sorry to see that you left a bad review [on trust pilot] We understand the frustration you experienced but we did not expect the lost order during transit. Could you please do us a favor to delete the review? We will improve all aspects of our following work. It will mean a lot to us if you can help delete the review. We can offer you a 10% off coupon for your next order. UPDATE #3 12/22 I have received a 2nd email asking to take down this review! Could you please do us a favor to delete the review? We will improve all aspects of our following work. It will mean a lot to us if you can help delete the review.
