Overall
customer
experience
with
the
boutique
was
unpleasant
and
frustrating
at
all
stages.
I
live
in
Seattle,
so
the
closest
boutique
to
us
is
in
Vancouver,
Canada.
We
visited
the
store
in
person,
but
they
had
minimal
inventory,
so
we
did
not
buy
anything.
Instead,
I
was
suggested
to
call
a
store
in
the
US
and
order
"online."
So
I
did
it
through
the
boutique
in
Beverly
Hills,
CA.
I
was
always
working
with
the
same
associate
(let's
name
her
'Associate').
Here
is
a
summary
of
my
journey
with
the
boutique:
-
First,
Associate
sent
me
a
link
with
the
wrong
payment
amount
to
pre-order
the
item
(it
was
large
size
instead
of
medium).
-
The
"CONDITIONS
OF
SALE"
document
that
I
received
after
completing
the
first
payment
stated
that
I
could
get
a
full
refund
if
I
decided
to
return
the
order.
Still,
the
receipt
that
Associate
sent
me
said
I
couldn't
refund
the
purchase
but
could
get
a
credit.
I've
tried
to
clarify
this
question
with
her,
and
she
instructed
me
that
a
refund
is
impossible
(that
was
not
true,
but
I
decided
to
bypass
this
fact
at
that
time).
-
I
completed
the
second
payment
in
some
weeks
and
received
the
item
soon.
To
my
great
regret,
the
stone
in
one
of
the
earrings
was
loosely
coupled.
I
could
hear
how
it
was
moving
when
I
shacked
the
item.
-
I
decided
to
call
the
boutique
but
unintentionally
dialed
the
number
for
the
boutique
in
San
Francisco,
CA.
I
talked
to
a
nice
person
who
confirmed
that
such
a
thing
is
not
expected
and
explained
my
options
(including
sending
the
item
for
repair
or
getting
a
refund
and
requesting
a
new
pair
of
earrings).
He
strongly
suggested
me
to
do
NOT
repair
the
product
as
it
was
brand
new.
Then
I
realized
I
was
calling
the
wrong
boutique
and
reached
out
to
the
store
at
Beverly
Hills.
-
I
talked
to
someone
at
the
Beverly
Hills
boutique
and
explained
the
case.
I
asked
them
to
send
me
the
return
shipping
label
and
was
convinced
I
would
get
it.
I've
not
received
any
updates
from
the
boutique
on
this
day.
-
The
following
day,
I
wrote
to
Associate
asking
me
to
email
the
return
label.
She
called
and
tried
to
convince
me
that
the
item
was
OK
and
acceptable
to
have
the
moving
stone.
I
referenced
the
talk
with
another
boutique,
but
she
insisted
that
having
a
loosely
coupled
stone
is
fine.
At
the
same
time,
she
agreed
to
replace
the
earrings
and
make
sure
that
the
stones
fit
perfectly
when
she
got
the
new
pair.
I
asked
for
a
refund.
She
issued
the
refund
as
"an
exception"
to
their
regular
policy...
-
Then
it
took
me
another
4
days
(!!!)
to
get
the
return
label
emailed.
I
called
the
boutique
multiple
times
and
finally
found
someone
who
helped
me
email
the
label
(it
was
not
Associate).
-
I
sent
the
product
back
and
wrote
about
it
to
Associate.
She
immediately
replied
that
she
had
issued
the
refund
and
attached
the
receipt.
-
8
days
(!!!)
later,
I
checked
the
account,
and
the
refund
was
not
there.
I
wrote
to
Associate
asking
to
verify
the
refund
state,
but
she
instructed
me
to
contact
my
bank.
So
I
did.
They
confirmed
that
there
is
no
pending
transaction
to
my
account
from
the
boutique
and
suggested
contacting
the
vendor.
-
I
called
the
store
and
explained
the
situation.
I
was
told
that
Associate
would
contact
me
on
this
matter.
I
wrote
to
her
the
following
day
and
asked
her
to
validate
the
refund
state.
She
added
an
Operational
Manager
to
the
thread
who
confirmed
that
there
was
an
issue
with
my
refund,
she
fixed
it,
and
I
should
receive
the
money
back
in
5
days.
Fingers
crossed
:)
P.S.
I've
started
a
dispute
on
the
transactions
with
my
bank
as
I
don't
trust
the
Van
Cleef
team
anymore
and
want
my
money
back
ASAP.
This
is
the
worst
customer
service
that
I've
ever
had
in
my
life.
