Lost my order - said it was my credit card's fault (which I use every day) - order confirmation received - credit card pre-authorized - order disappears after 3-4 days - email response time non-existant - customer service phone reps clueless - site down once a day for "maintenance" for the past week - much better options like zulily or gilt
I love deals! So you can imagine how happy I was when I found this site. The shipping took some time, but my products came in perfect condition! Ordered a scarf, books for the kids and some shoes for the kids. I'm not used to sites like these - where shipping is about 3 weeks. However, I called customer service and the girl who helped me was SO sweet! She explained the process of their shipping and how the company worked. I would totally shop Totsy again despite the longer shipping times. So worth the wait when you're getting items for MORE than half off. Thanks Totsy <*******
Wow... i might not have used the site had i read all the comments here before ordering... i've ordered twice now and my orders came thru fine, delivery time wasnt great but i didnt expect it to be and the goods were packed nicely as well... all i can say is being a father who doesn't have alot of time to shop around for deals, this site makes it easy for me
I've ordered from this site a few times, and each time I've waited over 3 weeks to get my items, with no update communication from the website. In addition, I tried to buy a VOUCHER that clearly stated in the description that the redemption code would be EMAILED. Then when I went to check out, thank god I noticed they were charging me $7.95 SHIPPING! For an email!? This is probably the last straw for me. I also do not like how everything is final sale. Every single item I have been interested in during the 2 years I have been a member has always been non-returnable. This is just not possible with little kids. I'll stick with Hautelook and Gilt from now on. At least they have return policies on their kids items.
The first time I ordered from Totsy, I was a little disappointed at the time my order took to be delivered. Once I got my order though I was thrilled I was completely satisfied. I ordered again earlier this year and was pleasantly surprised at how much they have improved on delivery time. The clothes I ordered for my son fit nicely and the quality was really good.
I've ordered at least 5 times from this site already and each time I have received the product I ordered. Yes, the first time, which was about a year ago it took forever and day to get my package, but I noticed especially in my last order that their shipping times are way better. I shop through a lot of private sale websites (I'm dealaholic ;)) and I think that they measure up well to the rest of them, plus they really have good deals and lots to choose from, although I feel that sometimes they repeat their sales, but I guess it's good for those who don't shop as often as I do!
One of my friends told me that she googled them and found some bad comments about the company, but I guess it's normal, when you're happy you have no reason to vent :) So I decided that I would do something nice for them and write a positive review, since I want to be able to continue shopping their deals. So here I am!
Order took three weeks from order date to receipt. Quite long but not terribly so, and acceptable based on their business model. An email to the company through the contact form on their website was answered in a couple of days - acceptable. The rep stated that they aggregate all of their orders and then send it to the supplier so orders are not shipped until sometime after the sale has ended which explains the extended shipping time.
This particular order is another issue. I ordered two sets of 2 Slap Happy watches for $20 per set. At $10 each it seemed to be a good deal though not exactly the 50%-70% (I forgot the exact number) discount from retail that they advertised. The item description clearly stated it was a set of two but in actuality it turned out to be one watch with an extra band. Now it doesn't seem like a good deal after all at $20 per watch with an extra band. How to split two watches between three girls is going to be a challenge
I believe I was a victim of fraudulent advertising since I did not receive the "Set of 2" watches that was advertised. Although I would hazard to guess that Totsy had no ill intentions but may have done a sloppy cut and paste job in the item description, I still believe I am entitled to the remedies requested.
I have contacted the company and requested either additional watches or a refund of half of the purchase price and will post the results of the communication here.
In summary:
1. The company seems to be legit - notwithstanding my problem above the items were as expected and well packed.
2. Expect extended shipping times so do not order if you need the items quickly. They order all items from the manufacturer and it goes to Totsy first and then to the customer.
3. Prices are reasonable though not near the claimed discounts. If you look hard enough you can most likely find the items at simliar prices from online retailers who will ship them faster than Totsy.
4. So far my emails have been answered in a reasonable time period and the responses were coherent and seemed to be written by someone who actually speaks English well and understood my question.
5. Read the descriptions carefully, expect long shipping times, and hope the item is as expected!
If I could rate Totsy lower than 1 star, I would do so.
This company is either the most disorganized company on the face of the planet, or they are a bunch of con artists.
I have twice applied my $30 credit to an order only to be charged full price. They always promise they'll fix it, but somehow that never seems to happen.
Stay away from this company at all costs
I have ordered twice from them. The first time it took over 6 weeks to get the item and it was ripped and looked worn. When I tried to return the item it was like trying to break into fort knox. So many rules and hoops to jump through. Not very user friendly. The second time I ordered I got duped by a coupon code. I should never have ordered but the same sh#t happened again. Only order if you like getting used items and getting them months after you order. Would rather shop on ebay.
Buyer Beware! This is, by far, the worst site I've ever bought from. NO customer service, over a month and they still haven't sent my stuff. But guess what? They took my MONEY! DON'T Order From This Site!
I have placed several orders with them, all but the last were fine. I bought a double stroller. Credit card was charged, despite Totsy not shipping my order. I received 2 different e-mails that the stroller was in the warehouse, but someone had to go physically make sure it was there. Then, when I finally (10 weeks after placing my order) received a refund, they didn't refund the shipping cost. I will NEVER use this site again. A complete and total sham! DO NOT trust ordering from this site. I will be reporting to BBB and listing terrible reviews on any and every site I can find. Worst on-line buying experience EVER!
This company didn't send the product in the 3 - 5 weeks stated but in 8 weeks. They didn't give me my $15 referral credit for 4 months. Currently I am waiting for a pair of shoes, 7 weeks. At 6 weeks they said they were in the warehouse ready to ship now at 7 weeks they are no where in site. You can not contact them by phone and they send out automated responses to emails. Horrible company! But don't take my word for it, look at their facebook page where there are many other comments of the same.
This website is nothing but fraudulent. They never shipped my order yet they billed my credit card. All e-mail correspondence has gone unanswered. DO NOT USE THIS SITE. The attorney general should investigate them for fraud. Tell all you friends. Use this site at your peril.
After placing my order, I did not receive a confirmation number. The charge did go through my credit card and six months later, I still have not received the item. I have attempted to contact the company via phone and email. The initial response was promising, apologies for a troubled system and would I like a refund or the item. That was the last word. I have since disputed the charge with my credit card company who was kind enough to refund my money even though the dispute period had expired. Numerous follow up's have gone unanswered.
There are several problems with this site -- quality and size of merchandise is often purposely misleading and the shipping costs are outrageous. The cost for shipping is about 3 times what a legit site would charge. There is a tiny disclaimer about the size of the item based on the photo that says the photo may be enlarged 30X to see the detail. About the only thing you can be almost sure of is the size of watches. Everything else is in metric or carats with no consumer-friendly guidelines. The quality is questionable since the suggested manufacturer's retail is usually more than the item would cost at a local department store. Service is ok as long as you read all the fine print and are willing to pay non-bargain prices.
TERRIBLE, AWFUL, NO GOOD. Stay away. Do some looking around the internet and you'll find nothing but tragic tales of woe. They take your money, ignore your complaints and never ship your merchandise. I strongly suspect any decent reviews are written by their employees, who are too busy doing that to refund your money. You've been warned!
THEY SUCK! I have called over 150 times and gotten one person on the phone. They do not answer emails or the phone. I wrote on their Facebook wall and they take down your comments. They also block you from leaving more comments. This is happening to everyone I found out. Go look at their FB page late at night to see what everyone thinks! I have been waiting sine the first week in October...
This website looks great until you actually order. I have been waiting for my items for 6 weeks. 2 weeks ago I sent an email and was told that the items were arriving (either they have or they have not- not clear) and would be ready to ship the following week. Then at the end of the following week, I emailed again. This time I was told that they are currently sorting the order from that manufacturer (which btw is a local company and they did not even know about the event so not sure where these clothes are coming from) and the items would ship "towards the end of the week." Needless to say, that was last week and now noone seems to answer my email. After the 4 weeks had passed, I looked up some reviews. They are horrible! Wish I read them before ordering... I ordered 2 months in advance of needing the clothes- for my son to wear for preschool. Hopefully, the items will arrive soon- or a refund! Really, I just want the company to be honest and say they are shortstaffed and slow or the items were not really available... whatever- just the truth.
Nice site, but you would think you would have some knowledge first, looking at any website. Approach it as the Big Jewelry Stores Are Doing, Grabe THings for a Dollar sell for $25 to $50. A lot of their merchandise is very real, and real as in genuine, if you are able to cruise the site, it's well worth it, Catch them when they have Free Shipping, WoW it's a Deal!
Jewelry penny auction... just what we need. Not only is online jewelry already a scam industry with people selling shady gems online, but now it is a penny auction. Girls... just don't do it. I know a diamond neclace for $4 is tempting but just stay away from this gambling site
