    Order #*******.I finally received my order and it's wrong. It doesn't even match the invoice which is the original wording that I had to change because it was too long. The tumblers have both shortened quotes on them. It wouldn't be so bad but the first quote is misspelled. It says "your mountain has't me my God" instead of "hasn't met" my God. The 2nd quote has "og God" instead of "of God".Many emails complaining and asking for a ***** but no response. Phone always says a very long wait.

    I placed an order for a tumbler on 12/01/23. I paid with my PayPal account and received confirmation from PayPal that my payment was submitted to Piperlou. I never received any confirmation of my order from piper ***. The only communication I have from them is advertisements so I dont even have the order number. *** tried calling several times and the phone just rings constantly with no answer. I have requested a charge back through PayPal but that will take time. Im so disappointed in this company. I have a friend who had done business with them many times and recommended them for their customer service. The item I ordered was a Christmas gift so it is useless to me now as I bought a replacement. I would like a refund but I would also like people to know before buying from this company that they are unreliable and obviously, given the number of complaints here, unprofessional and possibly fraudulent in their business practices.

    I am rejecting this response because:  the item, which was ordered on 12/01/2023, was a Christmas gift. Because it did not arrive in a timely manner, I purchased a similar item from a different vendor. I no longer need this item and would like a full refund including any charges for shipping fees.

    I ordered 3 laser etched tumblers on 11/28/23, order #*******, and still have not received any shipping information nor a refund. After several attempts at calling the customer service number with no answer I reached out numerous times through the chat bot and was finally given this response on 12/27/23:We're extending our sincerest and most unreserved apologies for the delay. We were flooded with a large number of orders this month due to the Holiday Rush and your order is still in production, and it's taking longer than the usual **** business days from the date you placed your order.We are trying our best to minimize the delay as much as possible. Our Warehouse has equipped all of our departments with more staff to make sure all orders are moving. We promise to fulfill your order and you should receive it as soon as possible, as we work around the clock to get all orders out.Thank you for your understanding. Only my order was placed in November, NOT December and if it wasnt for me contacting the company directly they would have offered ZERO communication on delays and they have not given an estimate of how long they expect it will be to receive my order nor offered a refund. This is frustrating and unacceptable. I am a returning customer however I will not be ordering from this company again.

    There is no timeline given on when my order can be expected, nor how far behind in processing orders the company is. Why would I order another tumbler, even a free one, when the company cant even reasonably give me a date for my order that was placed 5 weeks ago?

    Complaint: 21076263

    I am rejecting this response because:

    The company STILL has not given a reasonable timeline on when to expect a shipping date nor a timeline on how far back they are in processing orders. They also have not offered an option on a refund since they cannot provide an estimated delivery. Offering a free product option is unsatisfactory when my paid order cant even be fulfilled.

    On 11/26/2023 I placed an online order (#*******) during a Black Friday sale. Weeks went by with no stays update on my order. I messaged the company and received a generic email stating orders should be received within 7 to 14 business days.. the website says 7 to 14 days. Sent another email once 18 business days had passed and was told that my order would be sent to the respective department and I could expect a Shipping email soon. The next week I emailed again with a response of "we have had a lot of orders this month, we are working around the clock to send orders out". Today, 12/29- no shipping update, no package received, nothing. I had to give notes instead of gifts out for Christmas. I just want my order filled and shipped out as I paid for.

    I ordered 3 cups and 3 lids on December 1, 2023. There was nothing on the website that indicated I would not receive my order before Christmas. It is now December 27th and the order still says it has not been fulfilled.In addition, I had a coupon that I used and before I hit the payment page, it showed the discount. Once I was on the payment page, I didn't realize the discount had been removed and I ended up paying full price. After days of contacting the company, I finally got refunded the $65 discount that I shouldn't have been charged.I have reached out numerous times by email, chat, and phone with no response other than a boilerplate email back, sometimes.

    I placed two orders with Piper ***. First on November 27th for $89.54 order #******* and second order on December 7th for $52.28 #*******. Both orders remain in Unfulfilled status. It is now December 27th, 4 weeks from the first order date. I've contacted customer support three times. Each time told to be patient they are trying. I've requested my order be canceled and my money refunded, which was ignored.

    I placed an order on December 1st for a Christmas present and was told it would ship within 3-4 days. I have still not received my order and was very disappointed with the response I received from the company in reply to my email. I understand that shipping can take longer sometimes at the holidays but this is ridiculous.

    I ordered 3 tumblers on November 30th. On December 11th I sent an email inquiring about a shipping update. That email was answered by someone named ***** who told me my order would ship within **** business days of my order. I have sent 3 subsequent emails to the company asking for a shipping update, none of which have been replied to. I have attempted to contact the company by chat and text, both of which were also unanswered. I just want someone to tell me where my order is. The company boasts 24/7 customer support and yet it's been days without a response from them.
