I wondered if anyone has had a bad mailorder/shopping experience??? This form of shopping is essential for parents - but when it is poorly executed it is more hassle (and cost) than it is worth. I recently ordered a dress from Blooming Marvellous - and was charged the standard delivery charge. As it did not fit I looked through the catalogue and the delivery note as to how to return the goods there were no instructions. I finally called the customer helpline - which was busy - they called me back a day later - to tell me that I would have to return it at my own expense!!! so I have to purchase suitable packaging, bring it to a post office get it weighed, get a proof of posting document, pay the cost of postage and send it off before my money (which is deducted immediately) is returned without the initial delivery charge so to try on a dress it has cost me about £10, and a lot of time and hassle. As I am in my last few weeks of pregnancy, with an 11month old and a 2yr old to manage as well I am not impressed as many of the Blooming Marvellous customers must be in a similar situation to myself they are really out of touch with their customers needs....I am only glad that I did not order something large like a cot --- imagine trying to return that at your own inconvenience and cost!!!
