On May 2 I bought fabric for a home project. It said to have shipped May 6. I paid extra for it to be here by May 8. It never arrived and according to **** even though the address and name was correct, was resent back to the sender. Around May 12 Spoonflower promised to send me a new shipment and apologized for the confusion. They have since dropped off the face of the Earth. They never provided new tracking information or confirmed shipment. Ive asked repeatedly. I have put them on notice, repeatedly, that the chairs I would like to have reupholstered are being stored by the company I hired for the job so the delay is far from trivial for me.Initial Complaint

This item is not as shown and the overlapping of the print is not able to be hung correctly. I've messaged customer service and they're suggesting I cut the wallpaper down the middle to hang it without an overlap. This is rediculous for the amount of money I paid. I want a refund, and will be glad to return the product.Initial Complaint

Purchased fabric from Spoonflower on March 6,2023 for *****. It was described and shown as red and white polka dot fabric. To be exact Patriotic 4th of July was used in the title. I received the fabric and contacted spoonflower because it is not as described. The fabric is not red. It was described as patriotic red and its orange with a white haze over the top. The company stated they cant control color. If it was a slightly different color red Id be ok with it but its ORANGE and again there is a haze over the top of the fabric . Its not the patriotic red as stated. If I wore than on the 4th of July people would be wondering what country I was from. Its Not even close to red. They refuse to do anything about it. They said I could by a swatch in the future. Im sorry but buying a swatch does not guarantee its going to be the same when its printed. This is clearly not what I purchased. By the number of complaints Im seeing online this is a typical problem with them. Sadly you only look at reviews after you purchase and have an issue. Sadly the refused to send a refund which is all Im looking for. I do not need orange hazy polka dot fabric. I ordered and expected Red and White ***** dot fabric.... Patriotic 4th of July like what is pictured.Business Response

Hello,
It looks like the customer reached out on March 13 and March 14 to both the website for Spoonflower and to our third party store on Etsy. We have since replied to all attempts of communication and issued a full refund of the order on March 14th after the customer confirmed that they are unable to use the fabric sent to them. I have attached the communications and prrof of refund issued via Etsy.
Thank you,

We are sorry for the disappointment and it looks like Ms ***** has been in communication with our customer support team throughout the entire order experience. We are attaching two different sets of communications our customer support team had with Ms *****. We are unable to process a refund for an order if it is being disputed and we have shared this in our communication. We are happy to come to a resolution on her terms once the dispute has been closed and we can continue communication in email from there. Thank you!Customer Answer

I have found the communication between Ms ***** and our customer service support agent. It appears Ms ***** accidentally received somebody else's order in lieu of her own. Our support agent immediately set up a new order to have her original order reprinted and reshipped to her with expedited delivery at our expense. I do not see a request for a refund included with any of her communications, but we can certainly cancel the reprint order and issue a refund instead if she would prefer.
