Worst than angry... very, very disappointed and dismayed by the way I was treated by the owner, Ana, after years of customer loyalty (purchased 9 collars + 4 leashes for personal; 3 collars + 2 leashes for gifts, referred countless others). Last weekend attempted to calmly discuss w/one of the staff dissatisfaction with re-work for friend of mine (single layer collar requested converted to magic buckle, returned w/double layer, magic buckle collar). Tried to tell them my friend wanted single layer as originally purchased. Appeared Paco Collars tried to "salvage" original collar by cutting off the decorative segment of collar and tacking it on to new magic buckle collar. Instead of being receptive to my concern, Rochelle became defensive. I tried to tell her I just want to discuss this matter, it does not need to turn ugly, I have respect for the quality and workmanship of Paco collars or clearly I would not have purchased and referred so many people. Apparently Rochelle did not translate this message correctly to Ana, who in turn called me, said she was mailing my latest order to me at no charge, told me going forward I should shop at Karma Collars, and WRONGLY accused me of calling Rochelle a BRAT, which simply never happened. I do not appreciate being treated with this level of disrespect, regardless of how much business I have given this store. Even if I only purchased a single collar I would not expect to be treated in this manner. Ana, I do not need you to "comp" me free shipping so that you can avoid having me come to your store. I am and always have been willing to pay for goods and services received by you or any other business. Your artisan quality of work is unique, beautiful and lasting. But Ana, I come from a very moral and upstanding family, was not raised to be treated nor treat others the way you treated me today. There is no dog collar or other tangible good that would allow me to tolerate this. If you think I would lower myself to call one of your Sales Associates a Brat, then sadly in all the years I have done business with you, you never got to know me. I am admittedly a selective customer but that was why I chose to shop with you. You have nice stuff. But I am also selective about the way
I like to be treated. I think you are a good person, I don't know what happened, but do hope you come to light with the way you treat your customers. read more
