SaveDollarStores.com processed the order quickly, but seem to have lost it before getting it to the shipper DHL and USPS. Dealing with them has been nothing but frustration. I just want the order filled and sent to me but they cannot seem to accomplish that.
1) Order was processed 3/9/2019. I received notification an order number. I am notified shipments are usually rec'd in 10 days. So far, so good.
2) On 3/15/2019 I received a tracking number. On 3/19 the USPS tracking still showed that the item had not been rec'd by USPS--they were waiting for it. I called Save Dollar Stores and was told it had gone to DHL first. DHL tracking said the same, item "En Route to DHL" i.e. not received. SaveDollar CSR says please wait 2 days.
3) SaveDollar tells me each time I email or contact them to wait 2 days. The status does not change for either DHL or USPS. Finally on 3/28, they say they will initiate an investigation.
4) I call DHL. They have not yet received the package.
5) On 3/31 I call SaveDollar for status. They say they are investigating with DHL and will get back to me with an email by next day. Doesn't happen. I email SaveDollar that I would like a replacement shipped.
6) On 4/2 I email for the status of my order. I receive an email saying that it's been shipped. I email asking for the tracking number.
7) On 4/3 I call SaveDollar to get the tracking number. They said the package was sent on 3/17. Then they say there is a problem with USPS. USPS tracking says it has not yet received the package. I ask again for a replacement and I am told I will have an email by the end of the day.
8) I called DHL again. They still have not received the package from SaveDollar--only electronic notification on 3/17/19. The DHL rep tells me to contact the sender, SaveDollar. I tell him I have and what I've experienced. He says, "They are definitely giving you the run-around. Call your credit card company." DHL deletes the tracking number from their system.
9) 4/10 It is over a month since the payment for my order was processed. No replacement has been issued by SaveDollarStores. No refund has been issued by SaveDollarStores. Either they are incompetent or they are scammers--I can't tell. The company owner, David Singh, posted a positive review on Save Dollar Stores' Facebook account. That is rather unethical. Their website reviews are all from 2014-2017; nothing recent. Probably because the reviews are very poor. I found many customers have had the same experience--an online order is paid for, but the order is never received. People are still waiting for refunds a year later. Very poor business model--BUYER BEWARE! read more
