I ordered the 2 Piece Basket Weave Tree Collar with bow by Valerie on October 13th as an advance order, with the understanding it would ship the week of November 8th. It is now November 20th. I tried to reach out to customer service for help, and all I got was the canned "I'm sorry for the inconvenience" response & that my inquiry would be escalated & that I should hear back soon. When I didn't hear back, I tried to reach out to customer service again (through chat this time), and I was told that my request had not yet been completed, and that I would have to wait for a response. This agent would not offer me any help aside from telling me I have to keep waiting. As I was typing my response to her, she rushed out of the chat like it was on fire & would not give me a chance to respond, when I know for a fact that a message displays at the bottom of the chat saying the other person is still typing. She knew full well I wasn't done trying to reply. I left a complaint, and again, received an empty apology about my customer service experience, thanked me for my patience, and that I would receive an email when my item ships. We decorate our tree the day after Thanksgiving every year, and I placed my order with the understanding that it would ship the week of November 8th. I understand that there are supply issues, but if they know they can't meet their projected ship date, we should be notified in a timely manner instead of leaving their customers hanging. Shipping and supply issues might be out of their control, but providing good customer service is something they CAN control. If I don't receive an update by the end of day Monday, I am cancelling my order, and saying goodbye to QVC.
