    Hello, 

    The following is documentation of what has transpired. 

    April **** the order was shipped via freight shipping. 

    April **** the bed was delivered after customer set appointment. 

    May **** customer wrote to us to say there was damage to the bed. 

    We inquired to why the bed was not inspected after arrival so we could submit a shipping damage claim on her behalf. We insure every shipment but customers are required to send us any damage claims within *** of delivery so these claims get approved. The customer advised they had put the bed into storage and had not looked at the items. 

    This made it impossible for us to submit a damage claim with our shipping carrier. We have no way to verify whether this damage was actually from the shipping company or from transit to the new location completed by the customer.  We attempted to submit a shipping damage claim but it was denied because:

    1. the customer did not report any damages upon delivery 

    2. the customer failed to notify us of any damages until after they had moved it into their salon space in which the damage could have occurred 

    3. the customer did not report any issues until over a month after delivery 

    Despite this, we offered her a full replacement bed and to cover the shipping cost of the new item as well. This is being fully paid for by our company to ensure her satisfaction at our loss. The bed is not yet completed but will be done August 15th and will be shipped. This has been communicated to the customer. 

    As always, we are dedicated to our customers satisfaction of our products and service.

    On May 22, 2022, 3:12?PM I placed an ordered with Plush + Oak *********************, ***** *****,

    Order summary
    Bed Cover × 1 $225.00
    The Edda × 3 Standard Ink / 4” $6,387.00
    PLUSHOAKENTERPRISE (-$638.70)
    $5,748.30

    Subtotal $5,973.30
    Shipping $394.00
    Taxes $0.00
    Total $6,367.30 USD

    With the intention to purchase 3 of Plush + Oak's beds that claim to be for artist posture and client comfort.
    I had been researching these beds for months before purchasing due to the fact that it was going to be a very big investment and I wanted to provide the best for my clients.

    Upon receiving the beds I noticed that the client posture was very off. The clients shoulders were pushed upwards making their heads "hang" and having their chin point upwards causing major discomfort, pain and desperation for my clients, while for the artist, we were forced to hunch and stretch in an uncomfortable position in order to be able to reach the client. As a result, I've lost lash artists, I've received many complaints from clients
    being unhappy with the beds and the pain they are in through the service, and I myself, have had to receive physical therapy to treat the Strain, Chronic shoulder pain and neck spasm. Additionally my business has suffered a big loss due to clients not coming back because of these beds. I have reached out to the ****** ******** multiple times since January. In January her worker **** admitted to the beds being manufactured incorrectly as well as ******** herself claiming how one of her two manufacturers were incorrectly manufacturing these beds. ******** offered me three options, one in which was a complete refund of the money I spent on the beds and I decided on that option but has yet to refund my money after almost four months since first contact and two months of waiting for her to "schedule a pick up of the beds". ******** has resolved the issue with another business in the US but has kept me waiting, in return my business keeps being affected negatively.
