Horrendous Customer Service – Order Never Received!
I placed an order from Annabel Bleu on Chairish, and 23 days later –– I still had not received my order within the seller's advertised lead time of 2 weeks (made to order; not including shipping transit time).
Ultimately, it took 24 days, 6 emails, and numerous escalations within Chairish management to get a response on a) order status and b) shipment tracking number. I did not receive either. The final response was a full refund.
NEVER AGAIN will I spend money with Annabel Bleu and advise others to stay far far away.
Details:
On January 30, I placed an order.
On February 9 I reached out to inquire when the order would ship. Chairish responded: "I will connect with the Seller to confirm the status of shipping for this order and for them to provide the tracking details. Once confirmed, I will provide you with the details!"
On February 12, I sent a 2nd email to request order status and shipment ETA. Still no response.
On February 14, I sent a 3rd email to request order status and shipment ETA. I finally received a response with a lie suggesting "14 days as this is made to order. Please note that the listed lead times are in reference to the number of business days required." The listing clearly stated "2 weeks" made to order.
On February 18, I received an email from Chairish stating "I have not yet heard back from the seller..."
On February 19, I sent my 4th email in response stating "We are past the 14 day lead time and the revised 14 business day lead time." I indicated that if a tracking # is not provided by February 21, I require a full refund.
*After researching Annabel Bleu on the Better Business Bureau, it's clear this is not an isolated incident. The seller accepts payment and never ships the product.
On February 21, I escalated this issue (now my 5th email) to senior managment at Chairish. Still no response.
On February 23, my 6th email, I escalated the issue to more contacts within Chairish leadership –– hoping for a resolution. Only when I did this, did I receive a full refund within a few hours and – NO response apologizing for their incompetence and subpar customer service.
It took 24 days, 6 emails, and numerous escalations within Chairish management to get an a) order status and b) shipment tracking number.
Final outcome – a refund 24 days later and no follow-up communication.
Something is fundamentally wrong with this company and seller. Horrendous customer service, poor and non-existent communication with customers and a failure to provide simple transactional updates. Operationally, Chairish and Annabel Bleu are a hideous disaster.
I will NEVER order from Chairish or Annabel Bleu again and warn everyone I know to stay far away from both parties.
Update: 56 days later, after multiple escalations with senior management I FINALLY received my order. Still, no communication from Annabel Bleu when I reached out directly. My decision remains unchanged; I will not place another order with either company.
