              Complaint Type:
              Problems with Product/Service
              Status:
              Resolved
              I received an email stating that item was received and that an email with credit would be sent on each item, copy ***** Five items. First email Jan. 25, then two on Jan. 26 and two on Feb. 5. I waited until Feb. 25 to start contacting Talbots. Most communication from them was to wait it took 3 to 5 days to process. After several times I felt my emails were not being read. I did have one that said they would research and get back in 3 days, that was never followed thru. In addition I sent a letter with copies of each returned item. I feel now that it is March 11, they received first item on Jan. 25 I have been patient enough. The total credit to my account is $227.92 which by now they have charged interest on not to mention shipping charges on 5 items of $44.75. I have been a loyal customer but I am done. I just want to be reimbursed for purchases they acknowledged they received. This really should never have gotten to the point of having to file a complaint. **************** at ******************** is not what it used to be. I am so disappointed.
