I recently bought a dress from here for a wedding (should of looked at reviews before I bought) I also didn't know they were based in Los Angeles silly me but I gave them a chance because I really loved the dress. I ordered it on 19th of January and thought oh I'll give it a couple of days because they do live overseas. I messaged the lady there and said my situation that I have a wedding on the 17th of February and that I was just wondering when my item would be dispatched. The lady told me my item would be dispatched the following Tuesday the 26th of January. I gave them a couple of days before I contacted again this was on the 29.01.16 wondering if my item had in fact got dispatched like she said it would. She replied it will be dispatched the following Friday. Now I am a little annoyed at the fact on whether to trust them and if it will in fact be here by the wedding date. So no I would not shop here again because of shipping but I do love there clothes and the people were easy to contact and DID actually reply.
It's sad for a business that could have such potential.
I placed three orders in the course of a few weeks because the fashion and the prices at this shop are great. However, the shipping is awful and the customer service is unreliable! I've been waiting almost a month for my first order to be completely shipped out and I'm not an international customer; I live in Chicago! As for the other orders, I've been waiting two weeks and counting, and 10 days and counting for any tracking details on 4 other missing items. I wanted to give this company the benefit of the doubt, but now I've got three orders that are taking forever just to get tracking details. I would be less annoyed if the site said that shipping was an unknown element, but it says that orders normally ship out within 3 days of payment! As much as I love the clothing, it's not worth the headache of constantly having to bug customer reps to ship out items they have already received payment for. I'm bummed, irritated, and likely to cancel my pending orders with unshipped items. Good thing I used Paypal =(
I had ordered once from here before and had a great experience. Nice dress and quick delivery. So I decided to order again and this experience was vastly different. I ordered three items and only received two. I inquired about my missing item and it took forever for them to respond. They asked me if I wanted credit or refund and I chose refund. I still have no received it. I've sent numerous inquiries about it and my last response was that they'd already informed management and there was nothing else they could do and I would receive an email from PayPal confirming my refund as they are the ones who process it. I have yet to receive it of course. 8 months. 8 freakin months and this still isn't resolved. Horrible service. It's a pity because the clothes I did receive were lovely.
misslisak would not shop at Lucy in the Sky again.
What happened?
I used to order from Lucy in the Sky regularly, and loved that the shipments came so quickly!
I ordered a dress on the 5th of August, it didn't get process and shipped until yesterday (11th of August) and isn't estimated to reach me until the 19th. This is exceptionally slow service, especially given the 1-2 day turn around that I used to expect from Lucy in the Sky.
I won't be ordering from them again any time soon.
If you previously receives your item within 1-2 days, i'm assuming you live in Australia? The reason why you would have received it so quick is that they were located in NSW Australia a few months ago until one day the owners decided to pack up and relocate to the US without giving their employees any warning, and left them to figure that out themselves. Their employees are still owed thousands of dollars in wages and leave entitlements but of course they will not respond to anyones calls or emails. You would have most likely seen a message on their site recently which states that they "apologise in advance for any delay in delivery's as they are extremely busy with orders at the moment and they are working around the clock to keep up with the shit loads of orders they are receiving" (or something like that). No, you would be receiving less orders due to the increase in cost of delivery and you're just struggling because you don't have anyone working for you! So please stop using their services! :)
I use to shop with Lucy in the Sky regularly and was very happy with the service. My items would come within a couple of days.
However, I have been very disappointed with my last order.
I ordered two items on 16th August.
On 21st September I received a parcel. It only contained one of the items I had ordered.
I had to contact them many times to figure out what had happened. It turned out item was faulty and would not be sent.
After many emails back and forth they said they would refund me. Months later and I still had no refund. I chased it up yet again and eventually received store credit on 23rd December. Pretty poor service for what was once my favourite online store.
I have never purchased from Lucy in the sky and NEVER will again!
I initially ordered a black jumpsuit in September / October 2015 after receiving the item which was way to big and clearly not marked as per the size indicated I requested a store credit which I then received. The store credit was not even for the initial amount paid.
It took me a while to actually use the store credit as nothing was appealing to me to purchase however knowing my store credit was soon to expire on February 8th 2016 I purchased a cream and floral dress using my store credit and adding additional money.
Upon receiving the dress on 24 February 2016 I noticed the sleeve was not properly sewn and the hem was incomplete with a red sticker even still stuck to the item - see attached images.
I made initial contact with Clare from Lucy in the sky customer services on 25 February 2016 sending images of the faulty item. After going back and forth having to send more images and further explain what was clearly a faulty item Clare advised her management are accepting responsibility and apologised for the faulty item. Clare offered me either a refund, a store credit or to get the item fixed and they would reimburse me the cost. I chose to have a refund which was approved on 3 March 2016 and advised they would process the refund once the dress was returned.
After returning the item at my own expense via express post on 3 March 2016 to the Sydney address provided I then had to follow up again on 11 March 2016 as I had no response and according to Australia Post tracking the item had been delivered on 4 March 2016 and was waiting for collection at the local post office.
Finally on 16 March I received a response from Clare advising they had issued a store credit which was a little confusing considering they had approved a refund.
On 17 March after following up I received an email which looked like internal screen shots of refund processes and after questioning what the email had meant was told by Clare refunds would take 10 days process.
Still having not received my refund on 7 April 2016 I followed up again and was told by Clare that she had followed up with management regarding the refund and "there was nothing more that could be done" - not the answer I was hoping to receive. Clare also told me to follow up with my bank if I was having issues with obtaining the refund amount from Paypal. I use Paypal often so I was fully aware how to transfer money that was in my PayPal account to my bank account so thought this was a little strange. At this point after checking my PayPal account daily there was definitely no refund that had been received.
After being very polite and patient this entire process by this point I was at my breaking point and extremely frustrated! I advised Clare to follow up again with management to see what the delay was. This just was not good enough considering they were the reason for this issue when they provided a faulty item.
In response I received a very condescending email advising "the reason this was not refunded dear, is because you paid with a store credit and the store credit was originally issued"
Clare then went on to say there was a small amount which I paid via Paypal and funnily enough I finally received this refund in my account after receiving this email....only 6 weeks later!
After 6 weeks of torture having to deal with condescending business owners who clearly have had no customer service training I am now told I cannot have the entire refund that was approved and will have to have a store credit which I don't want to use because they supply faulty items.
After a lengthy 6 week process I am drained and disgusted in this company they offer little to no customer service and the quality of their items are terrible. I cannot even believe this company is still in business!
Don't put yourself through and buy from Lucy in the sky that is 6 weeks of my life I will never get back!
Store Representative
Hi Briarna,
Firstly, thank you for the feedback - we are a growing company and though 99%+ of orders are placed and dispatched without issue, there have been evidently some growing pains with what we are doing. We totally acknowledge this - these issues are being worked through, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
We can see an order placed way back on September 14th for the Chiffon Playsuit in Black. This was shipped within 48 hours, and was delivered in 1-2 weeks to Australia from Los Angeles. We were contacted on September 23rd regarding a return request because the style was simply too large. No mention of any issues with quality. As we do offer the convenience of local returns to our Australian customers (we cover the postage back to Los Angeles), this was sent to Sydney, with the store credit processed in October.
The store credit value was for the amount paid - we believe the confusion may be from the fact that at that point, we did charge for shipping, and original shipping costs are not included in the store credit; this was due to the fact that we do offer free returns within the U.S, and local returns in Australia. We're still doing this with the current free shipping with no minimum though.
This store credit was used on February 7th for the Off The Shoulder Floral Dress In Cream. This was shipped for free within 5 business days of ordering, and again delivered in 1-2 weeks to Australia.
Unfortunately, this style was faulty - this is clearly obvious from the photo you sent us, and we acknowledged this. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience with the style, as this is extremely unusual. Considering the circumstances, we gave the 3 options of just keeping the style and receiving a store credit, getting it repaired for which we would gladly reimburse the cost, or returning to our Sydney address for an original payment refund.
The style was sent back to our Sydney address and processed on the 12th of March. We believe there was some miscommunication here on our end - the order was placed originally with a store credit, hence when corresponding with Clare, she was under the impression that it was still processing when it had been refunded. I'll follow up any further issues with her communication myself as well.
This was true, but evidently, you were looking for a refund to a different payment method, not the original store credit payment method. This should have been clear to start with, and we apologize for the inconvenience. We spoke to you over the phone, and at that point, the situation became clear and with your PayPal email address, we were able to send the amount directly to finally resolve the issue.
Again, we completely understand that situations such as these are not ok - and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. As we understand, this issue was resolved as of a couple of weeks ago.
If any issues persist, please do not hesitate to contact us at 213-278-0968, (M-F, 10-5 PST) or at pay@lucyinthesky.email.
Great prices but worst customer service EVER! All I wanted to do was exchange two dresses. If they didn't have my size then I was happy to get a store credit. In order to get this store credit, I'll need to return the dresses within 14 days. How am I suppose to do this if they don't even reply to an email? Instead they spend all day posting pictures on their Facebook page which is apparently more important! I love shopping online and have never experienced bad customer service like this. I won't be shopping on this website again. I'll also be advising my friends not to either. Really disappointing.
