I placed an order in late July. I received an order confirmation. Then, I received no products. Nothing. Crickets. I go to their web site to call them and find no number published. Hmmm. Thankfully I found the number on Yelp. Once I actually got them on the phone to ask about the order, they magically sprung into action (more than two weeks after the order) and shipped SOME of the products. Part of the order. The rest was "back ordered" they said.

Part of the order I did receive was four floor drops. Two identical drops, printed twice. NOT what I ordered. I had ordered four different floor drops. To their credit, they shipped out replacements for the two missing pieces, and gave me a mailing label to return the duplicates. That's the only reason they're getting 2 stars instead of 1.

They claimed the back ordered items were delivered to my front door, which was incorrect. When I emailed customer service, they said "They were delivered, you'll have to have the post office track it." In other words, "not our problem". Well, the SHIPPER has to initiate traces, not the recipient. Idiot. And, when I called them to let them know the tracking information they provided was the tracking information for a different part of the order entirely, the person on the phone confirmed that those products had not, in fact, shipped, but were back ordered.

(sigh)

So, despite their incompetency, I ordered five vinyl floor drops for me to use in the studio, thinking those would be easy enough for them to print and ship. That was 18 days ago. When I asked for updates on that shipping time via email, once again, I receive no answer. It was only when I threatened to challenge the charge if I didn't hear from them that they even bothered to email me back to tell me the items from the July order are still on back order. And no information was provided on the floor drop order from 18 days ago.

I emailed them this morning and told them to just cancel the second order entirely. I also told them to refund me the back ordered product cost as well. I'm confident I'll have to do a charge back with my credit card before I even warrant their attention. This has been a frustrating experience to say the least. There's a reason there are so many bad reviews about this company. I tell you, the hassle is not worth any price savings over a more reputable company.

This has to be some of the worst customer service I have ever experienced. The web site is very slick, and the pre-sales information is very well prepared. The product does not work, and my Wi-Fi extender (that I bought just for this purpose) didn't even get a usable signal from 15 feet away with no obstructions. So, after long chats (and waiting a LONG time to get someone on chat in the first place), I convinced them after several conversations to give me a refund... which never came. Three weeks after they received the product back, there was no refund. I went on chat to find out why, and TWO HOURS of chatting later (after their chat system kicked me out for inactivity while THEY looked up my information), they say a refund was issued, but refused to provide any email documentation stating such. This is absolutely unacceptable. I wish I had come to this site to look at these reviews before I wasted time and money on a product that doesn't work, and which is supported by an incompetent support staff. RUN AWAY from this company! They pretty much stole $500 from me!
