Again at this point my comments like so many others are still being deleted immediately. - Got back Sending an email to 6 places doesn't get an answer any faster it just makes me have to stop working to see why my phone is going off like crazy. I will be back to email tonight when I have time to read all of this. Thanks! (I only sent it to her 2 business emails and personal account one of which bounced back to me as undeliverable.)
7/12/10 Sent another email because I hadn't heard back. I just wanted to know the status of my order. Explaining I was trying to be nice about this but I have been waiting over 3 months now and still have not gotten my orders and my daughters pictures were delayed several times because of this. Also that if she could not provide my stuff to just refund me. _ Got back from her Hi, this is what I am going to say and your bows are coming. The petti skirts were ordered out by a deal I made with a very talented vendor. You were the only one who paid with gift card. These skirts cost me $45 and retail for $60. If you remember correctly when I announced then I only took the deposit and did not ask for any more until the skirts came in this was in case they took any longer then what she quoted me. I only sold them to 2 other people. I refunded those people since she was taking longer and she promised yours in time which I had to pay $60 for since I no longer qualified for the quantity discount. So I have been waiting for your skirt. I ignored your more tempered emails because the situation upset my husband with the petti. I told you could buy it with a gift card and I will continue to honor that I am just waiting to get it! Your bows will be there shortly. Thanks! - I responded Thank you for getting back to me and letting me know what is going on. I appreciate it. Please let me know the moment the skirt is on the way. Is the pink/white petti from the same vendor? Or is that on the way too? Thanks - Got back The pink and white I get elsewhere and have another shipment coming this week the hot pink and black came in but not those. I have tracking on them though.
7/19/10 Sent email asking if my orders had been shipped out yet? And will I get a tracking number?
7/21/10 sent another email - I sent you an email a couple days ago guess it got lost. Just checking on my status here. Have my orders been shipped yet? Petti skirts arrive? Please let me know and if so can I have the tracking number please. Thanks
7/25/10 Still haven't received a response from any email so I sent another email Hi Amiee, Haven't heard anything back yet. If you could message me on Facebook please (I am having issues receiving my email. I can send out but I am not getting anything in.) and let me know if my orders have shipped yet? Did the petti come in yet? Can I get a tracking number please. I will be out of town 3 days this week so I need to know when to look for it. Thanks! Hope everyone is doing well.
7/30/10 Still haven't heard anything - Sent messages on Facebook got instantly deleted AGAIN. Sent email asking why I was being deleted I just want to know where my stuff was and why I haven't heard anything. _ Got back I just put the last of the trackings in the discussion tab! Thanks! _ Got tracking number for the order she said was complete and sent.
8/7/10 Sent email because I still hadn't received that package she said was sent and the tracking numbers provided arent working. Email said Hi Amiee You had said all packages were sent; do you know when the system will update? Or when I can expect it? My tracking still says nothing found. Thanks. Sent message on Facebook asking about tracking number but this post got deleted too.
8/8/10 Sent email saying Hi Amiee I don't understand why I always getting deleted. I have emailed and get nothing. I am in no way being rude. Just curious about my order. You had said all packages were sent, I am just asking when the system will will update. Or when I can expect it? My tracking still says nothing found over a week later. Is there a different number? Thanks. - Got back Hi! They are all shipped and I am not sure why there is a delay in updates! Thanks!
8/11/10 Sent Facebook message Hi Amiee Can you please check on my order and let me know what is going on? The tracking number (0309 0330 0000 0633 4853) you gave me 12 days ago is still showing no record found and there was nothing in the mail today. Thanks!
8/12/10 tried to contact PayPal about this - Immediately within minutes got back a message from Amiee Did you know filing false claims with PayPal is a crime? You received MOST of your orders and the rest are on the way you just tried to file a claim on orders you received which is WRONG! - Replied back I didnt file a false claim. I have not received my orders, I am still waiting you gave me this tracking number 2 weeks ago tomorrow and It is still not working. And I message you and get no response. I have every email I have sent and every email I have gotten back that says it is shipped yet I have not received it. I can provide everything so there is no false claim here. I have talked to you politely to check on them but you have not. I am missing LARGE amounts of things. Some orders were NEVER fulfilled. I AM STILL WAITING 3 MONTHS LATER! - Got back Large amounts of things? Um no. It was a premium petti, a regular petti, and a few bows. That is all! That is from one gift card and you filed on all your payments so that is WRONG! - Responded It was a Premium Petti, a regular petti, several bows, flip flops, a zebra child apron with an E" That is not a small order I sent you the list. A small order would be only a couple things. I have sent you emails and messages about it. You say yes I got your missing list and I am going to work on it and it will be sent out. BUT YET I STILL HAVE NOTHING! WHERE IS IT IF IT IS SENT? Give me a working tracking number to me. IT does not take 2 weeks to update a tracking number. I ship all the time I know. And it only takes 5 days to get to me from you. - Immediately I have been deleted and blocked from the Fan page. So I sent a message Seriously you go and delete me now like I don't exist? When am I going to see my stuff? - Got back Delete you? I sent your stuff! - Responded - I have been deleted by you from your fan page. When did you send it? And if it is sent along with so many others that have tracking numbers from that same Friday 2 weeks ago. Why are you not checking into them? I just want my stuff already or my money back so I can purchase things and FINALLY get my daughters pictures taken now that she missed them twice waiting on this. - Got back I did not delete you from my fan page. I sent it out over two weeks ago. I have been checking into them. I tell the post office whats going on and there is only so much they can do! - Responded So how much longer do I have to wait on this to arrive? How much time should I let pass before I ask you again? I am trying to work with you here. I have been with you since before Easter and have had no problems with you. I just want to get things resolved. - Got back They wait 22 days before they deem anything "lost" if you saw the fan page today I got back two packages today that were sent on July 21st that long they took to come back to me! I am sorry about the trouble but there is not much else I can do.
9/2/10 Sent Facebook message again Hi Amiee Can you please check on my order and let me know what is going on? The tracking number (0309 0330 0000 0633 4853) you gave me over a month ago is still showing no record found and there is nothing in the mail. I need to get my stuff or a refund please. Thanks!
9/5/10 Sent another email like the above one still nothing.
9/15/10 Another email still nothing.
9/21/10 As of today still no communication.
To this day there is still nothing in my mail. Messages are not being responded to. Last message i got back was 8/12/10. Tracking number from july 31st still shows no record found along with a lot of other tracking numbers for other people show no record found. I have checked it several times from the saved list she provided. My first order as you can see above was 4/8/10. Here it is september 25th. And still nothing. No refund or items. Buyers beware!!! If you are not in her inner circle you will not get your stuff you pay for. Do not waste your money or time on her. Alot of us got scammed. Please do not get sucked in also.
