    I ordered sheets and pillow cases. Only received pillow cases. Was told by customer service I only ordered pillow cases. I would never spend 35$ on 2 pillow cases. Then they tried to get me to buy the sheets again.ITEMS IN YOUR ORDER Mini Print Percale ************** Mini Print Percale ************** Item#: ***** TURT STCS Quantity:Price each:Item Total:1 $34.00 $34.00

    Business Response

    Date: 04/29/2024

    Good Morning,

    We sell #***** Turtle mini print percale as both a set (Twin, Double, ****** ***** *** King) or as Alacarte pillow cases.

    The customer selected Turtle pillow cases.  I have included a screen shot of the ordering process - the customer must select either the set or the pillowcases.  At that point the customer is prompted to select the size of the pillow cases and the final cost for the item, $34.00. 

    The customer is welcome to return the pillow cases for credit.  

    Thank you,

    ****

    A mattress topper delivered was clearly used. Called GH who arranged *** pick up. Could not exchange - had to order replacement and refund credit would be issued upon return of original. Item picked up on 12/4. Several inquiries to GH about status. GH acknowledge return received on 12/6. GH stated it takes 3-5 days to process return and issue refund credit. GH has still not issued credit weeks later. I would like them to promptly refund my credit card.

    Customer Answer

    Date: 12/27/2023

    GH emailed me 12-26 to say they had processed the return and my credit card would reflect the refund/credit in 10-12 business days. 

    I am not confident the credit will be posted timely or in the timeframe GH promises.

    I feel the slow processing of return and long time for credit to be posted is poor business practice. GH is certainly more expedient with processing orders.

    Good morning - please accept our sincere apologies for the delay of your refund.  Unfortunately, the carrier returned the shipment to one of our sister brands that share our Distribution Center and created the delay.

    Your refund was issued on 12/26 in the amount of $262.01 to the original form of payment used on the order.

    We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

    Better Business Bureau:



    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ******98.

    I am accepting the response to end the matter.

    But I wish to point out some problems with Garnet Hill's response.

    I find Garnet Hill's reason for the delay (misdirected shipment) improbable.

    Garnet Hill is the one who provided the shipping label to the carrier.  If there were any error in directing the shipment, it lies with Garnet Hill. 

    Two days after picking up the item, the carrier delivered the package to the address or location Garnet Hill provided. With the information available to it, Garnet Hill knew where the package was located.



    Sincerely,



    **** *******

    I have attempted to receive a refund (*********** of $228.52 since March. GH mailed a check twice supposedly and cant credit my card directly because they installed new software and have no previous accounting records. Promised to mail a check today but Im doubtful!

    Good afternoon,

    We have reviewed the complaint and after further investigation we have determined we sent the customer check # **** in the amount of $228.52.  The check was created on 4/27/2023 and our records indicate the check was cashed on 5/16/2023.

    We have attached an image of the check for the customer to reference.

    If we can be of any further assistance, please advise.

    Thank you,

    On the Invoice and the order email I received from Garnet Hill they clearly state that we ordered a Cotton Fleece Blanket and Cotton Throw. We only received the Cotton Blanket and Not the Cotton Throw Blanket. When I called I was told that I needed to order and pay extra for the Cotton Throw blanket. Clearly we were expecting both items...the Cotton Blanket and the Cotton Throw. I would call that very deceptive advertising since the Invoice states "Cotton Fleece Blanket and Cotton Throw"

    Business Response

    Date: 12/21/2023

    Good afternoon,
    I apologize for any confusion on your recent
    purchase.

    The product title describes the items available for purchase -
    Cotton and Fleece Blanket and Throw.  There are specific components/sizes
    available for the customer to choose for purchase (Throw, Twin, Double/Queen,
    King) after they have selected the color of the item they would like.  The
    product page also displays a range of prices for the individual
    components/sizes during the selection process.  We do not reference these
    products as a set.

    I have attached a series of purchase progression photos that
    depict the choices a customer must make during the purchase as well as how the
    pricing is displayed based on the size selected.

    Sincerely,

    Garnet Hill Customer Service

    Misleading promotion: I bought a jacket - Brand: JohnnyWas. Style: Orissa. Item #: 501418. Order #: ********** for $139 plus tax and shipping. Total $167.62 on October 27, 2023. GH had a 2 DAY ONLY promo - 25% off $100 - $199, I applied the promo in my cart and not until today when I received the item did I realize the promo was not included. Now, the rep (Adam) who I spoke with today admitted JohnnyWas is/was not listed in the "list of brand exclusions" and the promo also did not expressly state sale items were not included in the promo so I would like them to refund me $34.75. Their promotion was deceitful.

    Business Response

    Date: 11/17/2023

    Good afternoon,

    My sincere apologies for any confusion around our recent promotion.  The details of all our promotions, including any specific items or brand exclusions can be found on our website home page, social posts and emails.  The screen shot that was provided shows where a customer can find the *details of each promotion, as they can vary.

    As a courtesy, we have provided the customer with an additional credit in the amount of $41.70 back to the original form of payment used on the order.

    Thank you,

    Customer Service

    Good afternoon,

    We have escalated both addresses to ensure that the customer file is updated to no longer receive any catalogs.

    The consumer may receive one additional mailing as catalogs are preplanned/preprinted and then they will stop.  Our apologies, we never want our catalogs sent where they are not welcome.

    We apologize for any inconvenience.

    I returned a linen dress to the company. They claim not to have received it, although I used their printed label & tracking number. They said they would refund me via check. It never arrived. I called them on May 10, they said it must have got list & would send another. I called in mid-July & told it was posted on July 6th. Nothing has arrived. I called July 21 & was promised that someone from accounting would call back & resolve the issue. They didn’t. Looking at reviews on Trust Pilot this seems to be a very common issue. I have been a customer for years, but this terrible service seems to have started this year with their refund department. I told them yesterday that I would be happy with a credit at this point.

    I was promised a refund for an expensive purse that fell apart. I had sent pictures and their customer service won’t respond to let me know how I can send it back to get the refund. I have the email from their customer service I can forward you.

    Good Afternoon, we recently conducted system maintenance that caused a delay in the processing of some returns.

    Our records indicate the defective bag return was processed on 7/20.  A refund check has been created in the amount of $260.53 and will be processed and mailed this Thursday to arrive in 7-10 business days.

    Our sincere apologies for the delay and any inconvenience this has created.
