    Im reaching out about my order (#*********), which I placed on October 17, 2024. The tracking information shows it was delivered today, October 29, at 1:21 PM, but I havent received it. Theres no picture or proof of delivery, and its very concerning. My package is either missing or stolen!I tried contacting customer service around 1:45 PM PST after realizing my package was missing, but I ran into some issues. Your site says youre open until 5 PM EST, but the chat feature indicated it was closed at 4:30 PM. I also called and was placed on hold, only to be disconnected without any help.I can't believe how difficult it is to reach someone about my missing or possibly stolen package. This is absolutely unacceptable! The hoops Ive had to jump through just to get in touch with customer service are infuriating.

    Order status on company website states that the order was shipped yesterday. **** tracking states that only the label has been created and they have not received the package. After reading several complaints about delivery with this company, I am skeptical and would like this order cancelled and a refund given. I made an order and immediately tried to cancel it. I received an email stating that this order is not eligible for a refund! This is not their policy and it was minutes after I ordered it. I cancelled it because I read many complaints about them and am skeptical of ordering anything from them!

    In response to your inquiry, we apologize that the tracking information has not yet updated. Please note, tracking information can take up to 2 business days to be updated by the courier once it is picked up from our facility. The order shipped on October 29, 2024 at 12:41 PM EST. We ask that you please allow this timeframe to expire as typically tracking information is updated by the courier within 24 hours or so. Sometimes, depending on volume, it can take the full 48 hours. Once an order is placed, the order cannot be cancelled or modified due to the use of automated processing systems that we utilize. This information is disclosed within our policy on our website. We will include a link to this policy so you may review the information for possible future orders: *************************************************************. The cancellation policy will be toward the bottom of the page. The feedback regarding the courier chosen has been forwarded to the appropriate department.
    We will continue to monitor the order and reach out to the courier regarding updating the tracking information. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and hope that your order arrives safely and in a timely manner. Thank you.

    I recently placed an order for 2 colognes, and for some reason my order arrived empty, just the box itself arrived. I called fragrancenet customer service a numerous amount of times yesterday but was left on hold for over a hour each time. When I finally got an email back this morning, I was told they wont be refunding or replacing my order even though I didnt get any of the items. I dont really know what to do now because my debit card company is telling me to figure it out with fragrancenet, and theyre telling me to dispute it. This customer service is honesty very disappointing because I was recommended to order from here by multiple people, I will never give this store another chance if Im going to be treated like this ON MY FIRST ORDER.

    I am getting unwanted messages from the company daily and there is no place to send or opt out of the annoying messages. I have called their number only to have the woman tell me there is nothing that she can do to take me off of the contact numbers. I also sent a letter over a month ago to ask them to remove me and am still getting them daily. They need a place to unsubscribe to the unwanted contacts

    I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning issue regarding my order number *********, which I placed on September 20. The order was scheduled to ship on September 26 and was marked as delivered yesterday, September 27, at 6:27 PM. Unfortunately, I did not receive the package.According to the tracking information and the delivery photo provided by ******, the order was reported to have been left outside my door. However, upon checking, I found no package. Additionally, there was no notification of delivery, as I did not hear a doorbell ring or a knock on my door. This leads me to suspect that my package may have been stolen.I have attempted to contact your customer service team via phone and the live chat feature but have experienced significant delays, with wait times exceeding 30 minutes without any assistance. Given the value of the order, which totals $500, I believe there should have been an option for signature confirmation, which could have potentially prevented this unfortunate ************ I am currently unable to resolve this issue through customer service, I am considering filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your assistance in resolving it.

    Using their online portal. I placed an order for some cologne on the evening of 28 August. I immediately noticed the address was wrong for shipping. I sent an email immediately requesting them to change the delivery address. I received back an email the following morning that they were unable to do that. I then went on the portal and requested a cancellation of the order. That was placed the morning of the 29th immediately following them informing me of their inability to change shipping address. I received an email back again stating that they cannot cancel the order either. I let them know that I did not have access to that mailbox any longer. They refuse to in anyway, help cancel my order, even though it has not left their possession.
