Recently I was told the owner of this company is dealing with a serious illness and that the company is backed up as a result. That may explain the current delays and mix-ups, which under the circumstances, are understandable. However, when a company doesn't provide proper reimbursement to a customer in over three months, there is legitimate reason for concern.
Months ago my friend ordered two items, but received two substitute purchases instead. One item wasn't even remotely related to what she ordered, and while she was charged per her order, what she received was of a lesser value than what she paid.
She wanted her charge card credited, but accepted store credit instead. However, when she ordered an item to be credited to her account, she was once again charged for it. The store at one point owed her over $30.00, and as of this writing (December 2013) she still hasn't been fully reimbursed.
I too encountered a lack of reimbursement, and I had to contact my credit card company to resolve the issue. I think it is fair to say, however, that in prior years I had no issues with Dollhouse Collectibles, so based on this and their current circumstances, I adjusted my star rating and would be willing to give them a future order.
However, if you are purchasing an item as a gift, are in a hurry to receive your merchandise, or dislike having to scrutinize your credit card charges, I would wait until Spring 2014 before placing an order. Hopefully, by then their current customer service issues will be worked out. read more
