Muddy Mats 5 Stars - Customer Service 0 Stars!
I love Muddy Mat rugs. With three Golden Retrievers and nine cats, these rugs are invaluable. As litter catch mats, they outperform every other similarly designed rug on the market, not only in their ability to trap stray litter but they don't fall apart in the washer/dryer (cool water/low heat). That said... Their customer service is sorely lacking. I normally purchase from Amazon but I decided to purchase from their website during one of their recent sales. Order not only never showed up - it never even shipped after weeks of waiting. I was able to get a refund but instead of refunding the entire purchase amount at once, they refunded each rug separately, forcing me to calculate from four separate emails to ensure I'd received the entire amount. I subsequently and hesitantly placed a second order which did show up. Now, my biggest complaint - I'd originally contacted customer service to let them know that I felt there was a huge gap in their rug sizes - 36"x48". The sold 36"x24" but then jumped right up to 36"x60"! After much back and forth on FB Messaging (I'm guessing they use AI), the conversation simply ended with a thanks for pointing it out but no real concern about this gap. I'd hesitated long enough (about a month) to reorder after the first order didn't show up, but when I went back to the website - there it was: 36"x42", just shy of the 48" that would have been ideal but it still works. Did they contact me to thank me for suggesting the size? Did they even at least contact me to let me know it was now available. After several back and forth conversations regarding how much I needed this size..., not a single peep. I had to discover it by accident. As someone who managed retail stores and regularly trained associates on proper customer service etiquette, this was unacceptable. Resting on your laurels simply because your product is popular gets you lower ratings. Customer service still matters!
