Lack of customer service and relying too much on AI bots is not a good way to run a business.
I tried to inquire about a different color for the shirt I ordered so that I could exchange and ended up having to complete a return instead.
Due to lack of customer service would make me not suggest this service to anyone else.

Aloha,
Aloha,
I met and purchase mai tai glasses from you all at Tiki A GoGo and paid quite a bit more there than they are on your website. We vend and when you are doing in person sales you lower our price as we don't have to pay extra fees on whichever platform you use. This is very disappointing. In the future, I will look on someone website before purchasing. Just a little insight. Be Well, Julie

Beautiful shirt
Beautiful shirt! Great customer service! We did run into the shirt getting lost in shipping, but Park Candy made it right and sent a new one.

Buy from another company, or ETSY instead.
Park Candy uses “Preorder” to try to draw in sales. I “preordered” twice with them, both times I had to contact them to get any updates. The first time was in 2023, and they claimed “we over sold” on an item. I’m sorry but “preorder” means those orders are filled first, regardless of supplier issues. The second time was in September of 2024. Again I attempted to preorder. 6 months later I, AGAIN, have to make contact for any information. When I got an email response back it just “we have no updates”. When I threatened to contact the better Business Bureau, I was finally contacted by one of the owners. It was still a whole month after I had to contact them. Social
Media posts saying they were shipping out product. I got an email saying my order was being taken care of, but it was still almost 3 weeks before I was finally notified it was actually shipped. 1 star because the material is great for FL weather, and the designs are cool. But I will never go through Park Candy again, unacceptable service standards met with excuses.
Response from Park CandyMar 31, 2025
Hi Justin, we're truly sorry for your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share it. Park Candy is currently run by just the two of us—my husband Steve and me (Carise)—and while we pour our hearts into every product, we acknowledge that things don’t always go smoothly. Our preorder system is how we’re able to crowdfund artist-based projects and make limited runs of designs possible, but in your case, there were real shortcomings—especially with the Shopify oversell issue and lack of timely updates. We did send over 200 orders out when we posted about fulfillment, but clearly, yours going out later created understandable frustration. While we’re happy you enjoyed the shirt quality, we completely hear your feedback on the communication and delays. Preorders can be canceled at any time if the wait becomes too much, but that doesn’t excuse the radio silence you experienced. Supporting a small business often comes with some bumps in the road, but we’re actively working to smooth them out and be better. Thank you for your support—and for keeping us accountable.
