New Joan Rivers Bee Pin Up!

Pamula — Fri, 12 Sep 2014 19:03:34 GMT

I got one in green... All are on waitlist. I also purchase the God Bless American bee pin on waitlist and saved on shipping. Item j293090. Still sad about her passing... J293090 is still available in red or green for the holidays.

Enjoy your new pins. I have quite a few of Joan's jewelry, and have always enjoyed them all. She will be missed.

I ordered her new bee pin with the green stones before it went on WL. I am shocked as I just checked ebay, out of curiosity, and they are asking $250.00!!! This is a new pin and I feel bad for the women who do not realize Joan sold her pins here and they can get it on WL. I really miss Joan.

Yes, I agree. That is too much and the sellers are taking advantage. I didn't realize there were other posts about the new pin... I was just so excited because I've been checking every day. My husband would kill me if I bought one for $250, lol! I saw the announcement about Joan leaving money to her daughter and it made miss Joan more. So I thought I would check to see what bee pins were on waitlist... She was an excellent Mother and I'm glad she was able to leave her family money. She worked hard for every penny she made.

I'm sure the factories are in overdrive producing bees etc right now. The company will be wanting to capitalize on this burst of consumer demand.

I think everyone will get what they wanted.

I ordered the pinecone and imperial bee - they are fabulous!

the red color on J293090 looks more raspberry than red.

I'm so excited, I've been checking it daily, and saw the new bee. After reading the story about the bee pins, I so wanted one. They've named it the "estate" bee, how sad. I bought both colors.

I ordered the Green and received the Red ! It is not red at all , but raspberry !

That said- the pin is beautiful, but I really needed / wanted the green that I ordered!

Had already had issues with the Pinecone Bee. I ordered it on Sept. 2nd - along with the Poinsettia Bee. The Poinsettia shipped very quickly, but the Pinecone stayed "processing."

I phoned CS to inquire what the issue was , when I received the one bee and the other still remained "processing." Was told "not to worry, it was shipping out that very day."

Next morning , status hadn't changed to "shipped" , so again I phoned CS and told them my fear- there was a problem with this being in stock and I wouldn't receive it. I was assured that was NOT happening, that in fact my pin had been pulled for shipment and it was most certainly there to ship. The very next morning , my status went to "Backorder."

I just received the new bee pin today. They sent me the wrong color! I ordered the green and they sent me the red. I even had it sent by expedited delivery so I'd have it for an event I'm attending this weekend. Ugh! It's a lovely raspberry color, but it doesn't work for what I'm planning to wear. There is only one review posted for this pin and that person also got the wrong color!!! Something is wrong here. Beware, if you ordered the green bee pin you may receive the red one by mistake.

I'd order another and have it sent by overnight delivery, but I'm afraid they'd still send me the wrong color. This is so frustrating.

Oh no...I also ordered the green. Thx for the notice.

Seems there were several "mix ups."

I surely have learned to not depend on what info, customer service has available to them !

I'm on WL for the sweet Golden Sparrow Pin. BTW, something very odd happened when I ordered Joan Rivers' Now and Forever fragrance about ten days ago. This very small box came, it had ends on it that were supposed to be tucked in but they had never even been taped, and the box was completely EMPTY. There was an invoice in plastic on the outside, and when I took it off I saw it was for the fragrance. I called CS immediately and I was a little taken aback because the representative acted somewhat sarcastic about this and was not very polite. She said she didn't see how I could receive an empty box. Mind you, I've been ordering for many years and have never yet received an empty box, so it's not like I've called them before about something like this. I even offered to mail the box to them so they could examine it for themselves but she didn't want me to. She grudgingly said she would send me a replacement but was not very nice about it. I am now waiting for the replacement, but I have to say my feelings were a little hurt.

When I phoned CS regarding receiving the wrong color bee, the CS rep I spoke with , had a similar mindset. Thus , I phoned corporate. Nothing worse than such an attitude , when the issue was no fault of your own.

I did what you did. I got my red bee today. And the God Bless America bee is on wait list. I am pretty much done with my collection. I appreciate, adore and love everything I have collected over the years from her. And yes, Ebay prices for the new items I just purchased are out of sight. I understand the old ones because people are bidding them up. But the new ones that can be had for about $50 are being listed for hundreds.

Thank you, twocent, I'm glad I'm not the only one encountering something like this. QVC used to have really nice Customer Service Representatives but lately I don't know what has happened. It's really frustrating when you are waiting for something, like you were for the pin, and receive the wrong color or like me, an empty box!

Yes, one is already disappointed - especially something close to our heart like this - then to be treated as though we are "whinning over nothing."

I just spoke with CS and they are sending me out another pin and it should arrive on Thursday. However, she could not guarantee that it will be the correct green color. I hope I don't end up with 2 red bee pins. lol... I've decided to keep the red pin, as well. It is pretty...just doesn't work with my event outfit. Evidently, somehow these pins were put into the wrong sorting bins. So, I'm guessing that there are going to be a lot of surprised bee pin purchasers when they receive their pin.

Ugghhh...I want the green. Hope they immediately fix the problem & stop shipping the wrong color. Fingers crossed that I receive the green, or it will be a return/exchange. Thx again for the head's up.
