Frustrated and Exhausted
I was new to ordering from TableCoversNow, and my first purchase was a table cover. I’m also new to doing vendor events, so I really needed things to match and arrive on time. The table cover arrived quickly and it was perfect—no complaints at all. Right after receiving it (around the first or second week of October), I ordered a matching banner. The table cover color was listed as Stone or Taupe, but those exact names didn’t appear in the banner options. One of the banner colors looked like the right match, but I wasn’t completely sure. I added a note to my order asking for confirmation that the banner color matched the table cover. I also called and spoke with a representative to make sure the differently named colors were indeed the same. She assured me they matched and confirmed the banner would coordinate with the cover. When I placed the banner order, the shipping options all showed estimated dates still in October, which meant the banner should have arrived before my November 1 event. I chose the option that showed safe dates. Despite this, the banner never showed. A week passed—still nothing. Another week—nothing. I didn’t receive it until a full month later. Each time I called or emailed, customer service insisted I “chose the wrong shipping,” even though I selected the option with dates that should have arrived in October, not a month later. After several back-and-forth conversations, I was finally told it had shipped and was with FedEx. It then sat for another two weeks in California without moving. When it finally arrived, the storage bag I paid extra for was torn. And when I pulled out the banner, it was white—a color I never selected or requested. I immediately called and submitted images. Customer service has been the worst part of this whole experience. Every email came from a different person, no one followed through, and every response was a new excuse instead of a solution. No one addressed the torn bag, and no one acknowledged the fact that the banner they sent doesn’t match my branding at all. Now I have a banner I can’t use, a damaged bag I paid extra for, and no resolution from anyone at this company. I am extremely disappointed and frustrated. This experience has been exhausting, and at this point, I’m planning to have my lawyer contact them.
