Yes!!! It has happened twice in all the years I have been ordering....and that's a LOT of years, LOL! Once, about 10 years ago it was suppose to be a Newsworthy skirt from QVC. I couldn't believe the postman actually delivered it without putting a notation on pkg!. Nothing in it, very obvious!! QVC took care of it. It looked like it had been thru heck...seriously. Tire marks, a hole!!!
Then the second time it was a box from Neiman. Small box that was suppose to have a jar of Sisley cream. That iwas not chump change either!!! About 380 bucks at the time. Neiman made it good.But, it took a while as they filed a report. The SA went to bat for me, and they sent me a new cream!! During the first conversationwith the SA I ordered from,she didn't outwardly express her suspicions. But, I came away with the thought that things " can disappear in the packaging room. The sales associate told me she knows the cream went up, because she takes the product there with an order and packaging slip she prints out. She places products in box, and packaging staff takes over from there to get it ready to mail. During a Beauty Event there are hunreds of boxes to be mailed, loaded with free gifts and goodies. The UPS and post office pick the packages up there at Neiman's once a day. She did tell me once , because I got to know her well over 12 years, free samples and gifts go missing all the time from packaging room.
3 years ago I a refund delayed until I called Coach asking about my refund. They said it was because my product was NOT in my return box. First I told them, it was in the box, but when were you going to tell me this. They said they wait until the customer inquires. HUH???? It was a wallet from Coach, about 100 dollars. That took a while to get refunded, close to 3 months. They finally refunded me my money. I was so irritated!
