**Update - I'm pleased to confirm that the order has been delivered (Dec 17th) in time for when it was required for. Many thanks **Update**

Good morning - I'm sorry to see you have left a 1* review. As you know, this review comes after we had an email exchange yesterday evening. This was before you posted this review which unfortunately falsely claims you have not have a reply to your emails. I note that you had emailed for the first time about your order on Thursday 12/12, with a chasing email on Sunday (out of working hours) and then again yesterday evening at 20:32. Given the time of the year, email responses are taking longer and it should be fair to expect to have to wait a little longer than usual for a response.

When reading your chasing email last night however, and realising you had been awaiting a response - I ensured to reply within 15 minutes despite being late in the evening. In this email exchange, I apologised that I wasn't able to reply sooner and explained that I run the business by myself. As to your comments in these emails that "it was my choice I didn't want to reply to your emails", I'd like to clarify this certainly wasn't the case but simply given the volume of queries currently it had taken longer to receive a response.

I then provided an update on your order, which had exceeded slightly the estimate dispatch, but to clarify was never expected to dispatch 2 weeks ago. As you had advised in your emails you needed the order by Christmas, I was pleased to advise that your order was in processing and is actually due to dispatch today. Included in my emails was the tracking details of your orders ready for its impending dispatch.

To confirm, your order is in processing and will be dispatched today. Again, I'm aware you need the order by Christmas and this will be expected to arrive with you before then.

Kind Regards

Hi Shannan, I'm writing this response, in truth, in absolute dismay. A similar note to that which I sent you by email after notification of this review. I'm utterly bemused and upset to have read this review, which was left within hours after I sent you an out of hours update on a Saturday to let you know your order was out for delivery and days ahead of when you needed the order by. You comment that the customer service is awful and that your not happy with how things we're handled - I just need to clarify a few points for the purpose of this public response.

Your order was placed on 11-07 as you said with an estimate dispatch of 13th - 18th. This is both an estimate, not a guarantee, and of dispatch not delivery. You contacted by email on Wednesday 20th at 14:57 to advise that you needed the order by the next week to which I responded at 18:19. I advised that the order had run a little past the estimate but was due to dispatch by Friday (22nd). You further emailed to advise that the order was needed by the 26th and did not demand a refund, but asked for a refund if the order would not arrive by this date. You advised that you "cannot trust Royal Mail" as you had two parcels go missing recently and it seems that your concern was related to Royal Mail's service to you recently received, not to myself.

Given the urgency I ensured to expedite your order dispatching on the 21st to ensure your order had time to arrive. Following dispatch, I heard nothing else from you and I decided out of hours on Saturday 23rd to keep you updated, and emailed you with a manual update to let you know your order was out for delivery 3 days ahead of when you needed. Unfortunately, I'm not sure why but you then felt necessary to email and say "you shouldn't trust random websites on Google" and then within a matter of hours posted this damming review containing profanity.

I have to be honest and state that I am utterly confused by your response, as you have received nothing other than what I think is excellent service. You had prompt replies to your emails, I ensured that the order was dispatched in more than enough time to arrive, and even went out of my way out of hours at a weekend to keep you updated with the status of your delivery.

As you will know I've reached out to you since this review to discuss this, but unfortunately have not received any response from you.

Your order was delivered at 11:27 on 23-11 (days ahead of the 26th when you needed the order by).

Kind Regards

Good morning, I'm sorry to see you have left a 1* review and that you've apparently not received received your order. I've looked back to the 1st and can't see any orders by the name of Annie. I've also checked all messages and can't locate any messages by this name either. If you could please contact I'd be happy to look into this for you. Kind Regards

*Reposting previous response as this covers the third reposted review from this customer*

Hi Carly, it’s disappointing to see that you have left a 1* review following your previous 5* review. I would like to take the opportunity to respond to the points you have raised.

As you know, you first reached out after receiving delivery of your order on 07/09 to notify that I had mistakenly printed the wrong character choice of the design on one of the garments. Despite your message coming through out of hours at 21:30, you’ll know that I responded within 5 minutes to your query to apologise and offer to resolve. I offered to get a replacement made and also offered for you to keep the garment that had been received free of charge, as despite the fact it had the wrong character of the design, it was personalised correctly. You advised that the replacement wasn’t needed until December so there was “plenty of time” to resolve.

When you messaged further for an update earlier this month I was able to confirm that I had made and dispatched the replacement and provided tracking. On the 04/10, unfortunately you then contacted to advise you was not happy with the item received because it was not “as vibrant” as the other garments.

I explained that the item was not as vibrant, not due to print quality, but due to the design selection and garment colour you had chosen – which both we’re shades of lilac. The other garments we’re more “vibrant” because the designs you chose had more vibrant colours in them. As I explained, the design choices and garment choices available are both visible on the website to view prior to purchasing.

The item is made to order, with your design choice and garment colour choice, which was a Daisy Duck design (which contains lots of purple elements) on a purple hoodie. I’d also just like to add that you we’re more than happy with quality of all the other garments received and described them as “vibrant and lovely”. As explained, the replacement garment wasn’t less vibrant because of a fault or print issue – but the fact the design selected was not as bold a colour and it was selected by yourself to be printed on a garment colour of a similar colour shade.

I would like to clarify that at no point did I say “it is what is is” and discussed at length with you and explained thoroughly the difference between this item and the others you had received, which I’m afraid as above was your choice of design and colour garment.

Following our email exchange late into the evening last night you then swore at me calling it a “sh*t show of a service” and then sending insulting messages of “Says more about you than it does anything”. I will not accept threatening and abusive messages.

Kind Regards
