Horrible experience! I do not recommend this company!
I ordered 2 costumes and paid for expedited shipping. One costume shipped on time. However, the skeleton costume I ordered was delayed. Got it 3 weeks later and they sent the wrong size. I called the number, wait time was over 40 mins so I scheduled a call back. Never called me back. Then I sent an email, no response. Called again and just put my phone on speaker while waiting. Got through to the REFUND/EXCHANGE department. I told her what was wrong. Her response? " Oh, um, hold on. I'll transfer you." She transferred me to an out of service number and then it hung up on me. Customer service here is appalling. So then I finally googled how to access their live chat that you cannot find on the website. Chat response was that they do not have that size in stock, which leads me to believe the wrong size was not sent in error, it was sent hoping I was an idiot because it was unavailable. So she told me that she would refund my money. I requested an immediate email detailing that refund. Nope, she said refund takes 7-14 business days because their finance department is delayed. Listen, I don't know how many people they've pulled that on, but that's just not a real thing. Once a refund is submitted it is then up to the card holders bank to determine refund timelines. I fully believe that customer service representative just lied to me. I've worked retail, I know how refunds work and I've never ever heard of a finance department inside a retail store handling a refund. It's bizarre. I DO NOT recommend this company. This whole experience has been absolutely terrible. I paid a crazy expensive shipping cost that I'm now out of because I'm only being reimbursed for the costume they screwed up. In sheer panic I've contacted every store around me trying to find my son a costume less than a week before halloween. Luckily, I found the exact same costume at Walmart for less than half the price!!! They keep responding telling everyone to call that customer service number but you will not get through or if you do, they hang up on you. First and last time I will ever buy from them. I'll be filing a better business bureau complaint.
