    On Jan 30, I received a text that Kitsch was having a *********** day sale - 30% off their products. Followed the link. Placed the items in my cart as follows: Rice water shampoo and conditioner - $ ***** Self Draining Soap Dish - $6.86 **** Butter Exfoliating Body Wash - $ 5.88 ***************** Shampoo and Conditioner - $ ***** Moisturizing Argan Milk Leave In Conditioner - $ 7.35 Bottle Free Beauty Travel Case - $ 5.88 These prices are indicated on the attached website snapshots I took. This total should be $57.75 with tax. However, the website was charging me $79.27. I emailed the company several times explaining the situation trying to understand what the problem was. I finally got an email back telling me to "place the order and we will credit you on our end...just let us know when it is done." So, I placed the order and emailed them the order confirmation *********, I get an email back from them telling me that the $79.27 is the correct price with a 30% off discount. I told them again, that THEIR WEBSITE was advertising a different price - I had given them the supporting proof - and they will not honor it. It is VERY DECEPTIVE. I am so unhappy with them. They advertise one price, charge another, and when I bring it to their attention, I am told to place they order, they will correct, and then they deny it. I asked them to cancel my order. Of course, no ************* - IT IS HORRIBLE that you have NO TELEPHONE NUMBER for anyone to speak with.

    Hello! I am so sorry to see the 30% was not correctly applied to your order, and have passed this info along to our tech team for further investigation. In the meantime, it looks like your order was successfully canceled by out agent and the order will not be shipping out. I am so sorry again for this mix-up.

    I placed an order w Kitsch on Nov 30, 2024. I received notice that it was in transit to *** shipping company on Dec 3. Its now Dec 19 and its still sitting at the *** shipping site. So, its most likely lost at this point. I asked for a refund for no goods received. They said I can only get a refund if I return the items. If I never got the items, how can I return them. I needed them for Christmas presents. I sent another request asking if they can send me a replacement order and I will return the first order when it arrives. They would not. Now I am out $111.62 and several Christmas packages.

    Hi *******, 

    Thank you for reaching out! I am so sorry to hear about this frustrating experience. It looks like there was some confusion on our end about the delivery timeframe for your order. I do see that it hasn't updated and per your request I issued a full refund for your order. 

     

    If you need anything else, please do not hesitate to let us know.

    I am rejecting this response because: I have shipped back the partial order I received. The return shipping label they provided shows my full order but I only received a partial order. I have tried multiple ways of communication with the company to make sure I will get a FULL refund even though the return label is for a complete order but only the partial order is being returned. When my refund is issued and finalized for this order I will be satisfied.

    Sincerely,

    ****** *****

    Hi ******, 

     

    Thank you for reaching out. It looks like a return has already been started for your order, and a pre-paid return label has been sent to the email address listed at checkout. As soon as the order is scanned back to us a refund will be issued for your order.

    I apologize for the error in processing your refund. It looks like te agent accidentally issued the refund on the replacement order, which did not have payment attached. I have issued a full refund for the original order, and you should see an email shortly with your refund information. I apologize again for our error.
