Horrible Returns Policy and Poor Value of Customers
The return policy and approach of this company is one that does not pass muster for any basic quality company. Let alone one that is targeting Mothers for items in this price range with products that are not of the value/quality of the price. And this experience proves that this company does not value mothers.
Yes the information for returns is in their policy, that is somewhere on the site that you don't necessarily think about with it being so out of norm when you are purchasing (30 days from delivery, regardless of holidays and you can't print a label or anything yourself to do a return, you have to email requesting it, which is included in the timeline and caused me delays as I was travelling and it was covering Christmas to New Years timing). And it was "included to notify" at the bottom of an email when I was trying to do the return. Which while traveling internationally with an infant I missed. Because let's be honest if you are a new mom during Christmas/NYE trying to visit people, feed and nap your jetlagged kid, travel internal in the US and then with international flights, reading everything in an email like a legal text isn't really what you do when dealing with an annoying returns process.
An exception for some grace to a new Mom in a reasonable circumstance was requested, with an offer to provide proof related to the reason for the exception that was in line with what was said could granted as an exception, but denied on a technicality. Claiming that they shouldn't be reprimanded for applying their policy as a "small business".
Consider this customer (who prioritises putting money where my mouth is to small businesses) 1000% lost. And after reading online reviews, now, I realise that for these influencer "small companies" it is even more important to ALWAYS check reviews (not just instagram etc. where the company can delete and block any critical comments, and require influencers to make paid positive posts) and only purchase with companies whose reviews pass a decency bar... And I can say without a doubt now after some googling this evening to see other awful reviews that this would 100% eliminate Azaria!
Expensive lesson learnt, so for those smarter than me checking reviews before your purchase, I strongly recommend against making any purchases with this company who have multiple BBB complaints and where the customer service/management with it's inability to apply common sense and discretion in returns during a holidays period reflects on the company's character sufficient to take your money elsewhere for a better product.
