    On April 26th, I ordered 3 cookie cutters. Present with bow cookie, balloon cookie cutter,and birthday hat cookie cutter. It cost $12.16 in total. I got an email that said that my ordered was accepted and that orders should be shipped within 1-2 days and I would get a notification when it was shipped. Four days later, (April 30th) I still didn't have a notification, so I emailed ********************************** to get an update on my order. A week later, and I have received no response, nor any update that my cookie cutters have been sent!

    *******,

    I understand that we have done a poor job of communicating the status of your cookie cutter order and I apologize for the inconvenience.

    As the owner of *** Clark ***** I did some digging to determine what we did wrong.

    Your order reached us at 10:42 PM eastern time on Friday April 26. 
    Being well after business hours, we would not see the order until Monday morning the 29th.
    With order in hand, our goal is to ship within 1-2 business days. 
    We shipped the order the next day, being Tuesday the 30th, with **** tracking # **********************.
    The cookie cutters arrived at your house on Monday, May 6. 

    So, what went wrong on our end?  We had three errors.
    1.  You emailed us on Tuesday the 30th and Friday the 3rd.  Unfortunately, our customer service representative was on vacation that week.  We did not thoroughly check her email ************************************ while she was gone.  I say thoroughly because we skimmed her email on Wednesday looking for some specific orders but did not read every email.
          a. Solution:  We have two items to fix.  First, we need to make sure our ********************************** email is completely read every day.  Second, we need to change the info@ email address as it gets hundreds of emails every day.

    2.  Our new website was just launched in February.  It appears that the shipping confirmation email is not going out.  We are sending an order confirmation, but not the shipping confirmation.

    All 3 of the above-mentioned errors are being addressed on our end.  I appreciate your feedback and apologize for the stress we have caused.  The good news is that your cookie cutters were delivered on time, and I have attached a copy of the tracking page from ****.

    I have a favor to ask.  We currently have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.  This rating is important to us,  We work diligently to deliver quality product on time.

    Would you be willing to contact the BBB and retract your complaint?

    I ordered over $100 worth of cookie cutters for Christmas gifts. The delivery address on the package was incorrect and the package was returned to the company. I have emailed three times in the past three weeks asking for my money back and no one replies. There is no phone contact number.

    We have responded to this customer and I believe that she is satisfied with the resolution.  The customer's first two emails were flagged as spam and not delivered.  The email security system quarantined her messages.  As a result, we were not able to respond until the third message was sent and delivered to the appropriate mailbox.

    Unfortunately, we were not aware of the delivery failure by the **** until the package was returned to us on December 28, 2023 and the customer's third email was received.  This matter has been resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
