      On 10/18, I placed an order with 1-800-Lighting, aka, Capitol Lighting. On 10/22, I received a package in the mail from this company containing a single lamp shadethe most important part, the base of the lamp, was not in the box. I reached out to the company the same day, 10/22. I received an automated reply with a ticket number and no response after several days. I reached out again via email on 10/27 and finally received a response on 10/28. I was told to allow the company 48 hours for us to coordinate and verify your new ship date. I never heard back from the company after four days, so I reached out again asking for an update on 11/01 and again on 11/02 with no response. The customer service that I have received has been one of the poorest experiences I have had to date with any online merchant, and I see that many other complaints seem to echo this sentiment.To date, I still have not received the lamp for which I ordered and paid or any further follow up from the company.

      We apologize for any delays in communication, as the experience described certainly doesn't represent the world class service levels we strive for.  Internally, we have taken steps to escalate case 03325334 and we are currently awaiting a response from the customer as we work towards a solution with the vendor.

      I am rejecting this response because I still do not have the lamp that I ordered and paid for or a full refund in lieu of the lamp.  The fact that your company did not follow up with me at all and then ignored my attempts to contact you until I filed this complaint is very concerning.  The matter is yet to be resolved.  I have spent a great deal of time and energy in attempting to resolve this situation amicably, and the companys BBB response is simply not acceptable.

      ******************,

      We completely understand your frustration, and apologize for any inconvenience caused by your experience. As the phone number provided at the time of purchase is invalid, we've only been able to communicate via email.  Attached is a screenshot of our most recent attempts to reach you regarding your missing lamp.  It does appear the replacement lamp we ordered for you has arrived, tracking# ************.  Please let us know if there are any issues with your shipment, and thank you again for your patience!

      Complaint: ********

      My phone number is completely irrelevant and not at all material to this complaint.  Your company clearly has my email address.  And at the time of my complaint, a response had not been received because your response came only AFTER this complaint was filed, as is clearly shown on the ********* stamps of our email correspondence. 

      Regarding the lamp itself: yes, it was finally received yesterday, Sunday, Nov. 6th, and the customer service manager who reached out to me previously provided this tracking information, as is clearly shown in our email correspondence.

      I was also promised a discount on my order (albeit a rather insulting 5% discount) that has not materialized as of todays date.

      I have wasted a great deal of my time repeatedly emailing your company WITH NO RESPONSE, essentially being forced into filing this complaint, for an issue that was fully the responsibility of your company.  I now FINALLY have the lamp that I ordered and paid for weeks after the promised delivery window and whole bunch of lost time that I can never recoup.

      I ordered two products from the company--a chandelier and 4 pendant lights--this past summer after moving to my new home. Only the chandelier came. After waiting a few weeks thinking there was a delivery error I contacted the company via email and never received a response. After waiting another week I reached out by phone and held until I could speak to a person. She told me the order was still being processed and the ship date for the 4 pendants was August 18. It is now a month after that, and I have received no contact from the company about my order, even though I have paid in full. I want my money--totalling about $1000--back immediately. This is theft.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution for cancelation is satisfactory to me.

      Sincerely,
