Well I Learned an e.l.f. Lesson

SurferWife — Fri, 14 Jul 2023 03:04:16 GMT

Don't order from their website (at least not me). I placed an order on July 9th and on July 10th received a "Your Order Has Shipped"! I was stoked when I saw it was FedEx. And downhill it went. It sat in "shipping label prepared" (or something like that) and finally today I got the actual "it shipped" notification. Then it went on to say "your estimated delivery date is August 9th"...one full month from the day I ordered! I could have gotten every product at Target by now! Good grief! I guess FedEx uses a slow boat to China, or in this case, Hawaii. I may drop dead by next month waiting on my new stuff!

Lesson learned. From now on Target!!! Our brand new one opened yesterday!!!!!!!!

@SurferWife I had the same experience going to the Laura Geller website. It took a month, almost 5 weeks, to receive my order. I thought I would get items quicker than QVC but I was wrong.

We have a new Target in Kauai also. Nice to have options other than WalMart.

We are going to our new Target (Kaneohe) this weekend! My gosh it took them forever to finish it! It's closer to us than the other two we usually go to. I'm sure it will be crazy this weekend, but that's okay. I'm up for a challenge!

@SurferWife Almost EVERY cosmetic item I receive "by mail" has arrived either smashed or leaking. I also LOVE Target....and they have a pretty good selection of plant-based items, too! di

@Desertdi, I ordered several items from Amaz.... on Wed. Makeup Urban Decay, Tatcha Perfume Peets coffee etc . Ordered Wed Box arrived on Thurs. All items Came UPS. Thrilled couldn't believe how quickly all arrived, We are preparing for major storms in R.I. starting today (fri) to continue through weekend. Terrible thunder and lightining through last night. Poor people in upstate N.Y. Really being flooded. Be safe Thank You for taking time to send us all your SUPER IDEAS. I thoroughly enjoy Read every day.

I have the same issue with an order from Zolucky- Unfortunately did not realize it was coming from that slow boat from China, and here I still wait weeks later, unable to cancel a remaining item.

That's crazy. I must be pretty fortunate here in MD because everything I order from anywhere is typically here in a week and in good condition. WEN seems to be the only one who drags there feet on stuff and charges the highest ship rates 😡

I am having a similar issue with Kaja Beauty. I placed an order on July 2nd. A shipping label was created on July 5th but as of today, July 14th, there has been no further movement.

Amazon has spoiled me for for life. I always check there for everything from beauty to kitchen items to clothing to a vaccum cleaner on Prime Day...they even have all my hair products and DRMTLGY skincare.

Sometimes the prices are lower, but as long as not significantly higher than the products' website , it's always Amazon first.

When I see the words FedEx I cringe. I won't go into it but not only do they usually deliver it to the wrong address, I've even had one that was IN THE WRONG STATE!

@JudyL

Exactly! And it's only coming from CA. I didn't know FedEx put stuff on a ship, but whatever. There's nothing I can do about it. I could have bought everything on my Target trip tomorrow. Once I receive this order, I'm cancelling my online account with them. Craziness. I do a lot of online ordering and NO ONE else from whom I order products takes this long.

I ordered from them several times and it was pretty fast.

I ordered many things from e.l.f. and it never took that long. I wonder what is going on with company.If this is an ongoing problem I won't be ordering much from them again.

And I love it when something arrives via FedEx. It always arrives faster and never damaged, but, I don't get much from FedEx.

You had drivers who knew how to read a house number. I have never had a FedEx driver who could.Wait. Yes, I did. ONCE.

@Shanus, I’m with you. Amazon made my life SO much easier during the pandemic - especially during quarantine - and has continued to do so. Quick delivery, fair prices, large selection. No more long trips down the hill to the drugstore only to find they were out of everything on my list. Sorry, Walgreens. Shopped there since I was a small child, but no longer meets my needs most of the time.

LOL! It gets even better. Today I received an update from FedEx that my delivery is NOW Monday, August 14th. Maybe someone is going to swim it over here.
