Go to USPS or Mr. Postal instead!
Sent a FedEx pkg from this location on Friday, Sept 27. It was estimated to be delivered the next day - Sept 28th. I tracked the package online a few days later as I had not received a delivery notification. Tracking info indicated the package had not left the facility. Days went by. No movement! It had never even been scanned for pick up! Employees searched the shop but my package couldn't be found. The owner, Jennifer, suggested the package may have been picked up by UPS by mistake and therefore not scanned by FedEx for tracking. She was confident it would show up eventually. A week later, my package is still missing, no movement in tracking, and I'm out $200+ in lost items. I was told to come in to file a claim. I brought the owner over $200 in receipts for the items that are lost. I was given a check for the max reimbursement allowed for this FedEx shipping method - $100. With their reimbursement check, I re-purchased all the items I had originally bought, so now I am out an extra $100+. I ship off the 2nd box of replacement items from a different place since my faith in Mail & More has been shaken. 4:50pm on October 8th, the owner calls and tells me my package has been found and is at a Fredericksburg facility. I can't help but laugh as I had just bought and shipped out everything to replace it. The owner tells me my options are: keep the $100 claim she gave me and she'll have the package redirected back to her and she will keep the contents, or return the $100 to her and allow the package to continue on its way. She sounds rushed, and tells me she is busy at the shop with customers waiting, and to call her back to tell her what I want her to do. I discuss with my husband when he gets home and call her the next day to tell her to go ahead and keep the contents of the package because we've already deposited her check and purchased all replacement items and it would be more of a hassle for us given everything we've already had to do because of this issue. She then informs me that it's too late; I should've made that decision yesterday as the original package is now out for delivery in PA and I can't keep the $100 AND have the package delivered too. The package can't be refused as it is a drop box, so I tell her I guess I will have to arrange the return of all the replacement merchandise I had to buy and will then owe her $100. She says ok. What a fiasco! The original lost package is delivered in PA. The 2nd package containing identical contents I had to purchase again is also delivered. I make arrangements to get the 2nd box of items back the following weekend so I can start the returns process, and send the items back to the various shops and vendors for a refund. Now I'm out even more money for having to send back the replacement items (2 pieces are not even refundable since they were custom-made personalized items so I have to eat that cost too). All this hassle, money out of my pocket for their screw up, 7-10 business days to wait for refunds on replacement items I had to buy, and the owner leaves me a voice mail yesterday to tell me that we need to "handle this like professionals and not have this issue escalated" and "you don't get that hundred and shipping." as well as, "give me back my hundred dollars." Ummmm excuse me, WHAT?! I send off a response that I will be by Friday to give her claim money back as I said I would. I then receive an email from USPS that a certified letter from this lady is on its way to my house. I can only imagine... LOL
Needless to say, this place is crap from losing your shipments to poor, POOR customer service. Imagine if I had put that much effort into holding them accountable or harassing them over my lost package that was worth twice as much as she is clawing at. I get it. Stuff happens. But I never treated them or talked to them with the tone or insinuations that the owner is dishing out. All was fine and being handled like adults until they finally located my package 12 days later and then suddenly I'm being accosted for her claim money back immediately. I can't continue to conduct business with people who treat their customers like this, especially when none of it was their fault to begin with. Chill out, Jennifer; if I can suck it up and wait patiently, so can you.
