I was so excited about it, and I even sent a friendly email inquiring about it. The blogger said it was a mistake and she'd get it right out...but never did. :(<BR/>I hope you get everything straightened out!Putting the FUN in DysFUNctionalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996772324484385959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765717475414946993.post-49958167466783015022008-10-02T18:16:00.000-05:002008-10-02T18:16:00.000-05:00I am late on this one, dang it.So, let me understa...I am late on this one, dang it.<BR/>So, let me understand this...<BR/>You send the first half of the payment with your order and the second payment in-full when you are notified that the order is in stock and ready to ship?<BR/>Right?<BR/>Well, the company sent you false information. The have committed a fraud. That should definitely be covered by which ever credit card you used to pay the second half.<BR/>If they are now claiming to be going-out-of-business then you need to have the credit card company take care of the situation. <BR/>What SHOULD happen is that you are credited the amount you paid and the c.c. company goes after the business.<BR/>I'm sorry about the cute outfits.

This happened to me recently when I ordered flowers for the wedding. I got the run around like you did. I paid for it on my credit card and had to later file a complaint through the credit card. It's not fun...Aletahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605214202876973830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765717475414946993.post-13282987788106348482008-10-02T00:02:00.000-05:002008-10-02T00:02:00.000-05:00Ugh, hate this.

You have had quite a crappy few days. <BR/><BR/>I have a funny dog story - if you would like to hear it....<BR/>Our previous dog - Duke, a weimaraner, LOVED eating non-edible things. And dryer sheets were his 'crack'. He would reather eat dryer sheets vs. a steak! <BR/>Anyways, I would dry clothes & he would always eat them before I could get to them. We had a neighbor that NEVER cut her grass! Well, one day, she FINALLY cut her grass & we walk outside to go somewhere & she is in her yard scratching her head because there are like 200 dryer sheets everywhere in her yard. Apparently, Duke used her tall grass yard as his bathroom (probably because no one could see him - since the grass was so tall!)<BR/><BR/>Hope your pups are okay! Dogs are expensive but lovable little things! Hope your days get better soon!SouthernDogwoodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02102502643955739463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765717475414946993.post-18668200105977234682008-10-01T06:24:00.000-05:002008-10-01T06:24:00.000-05:00Hey Jennifer!

So sorry you seem to be having one now.<BR/><BR/>Ronda is absolutely right though.....you paid by credit card so you should be covered.<BR/><BR/>I've been scammed before, but I didn't follow up on it because it wasn't that much money. Although I did threaten to out them on the internet and tell EVERYONE I know. I should get on that!!!<BR/><BR/>Good luck to you.

Call the company again (both of them) and say exactly this...I have not received my clothes and now they are not returning my calls and it would appear they are going out of business...I am afraid it is a scam and now they have my credit card number! They may issue you new cards and new numbers but they should return 100% of your money! If it was a debit card...go directly to your bank and ask to fill out an affadavit explaining what has happened on your banking account. Different banks have different thresholds of how much they will return to you but you must do this very soon as you may have time constraints as well! Don't worry be happy it will be okay. I was a banker in another life....Have a great day...RondaRonda's Rantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06847830394540205074noreply@blogger.com
