      Status:
      Answered
      I purchased a wedding gown preservation kit from this company. The company has a stated policy that the "gown" is guaranteed from yellowing for 100 years or they will restore the gown. My dress has been unopened and kept in the condition they specified. The gown has yellowed. This company is refusing to honor their guarantee by stating that their guarantee only covers "fabric" and not "beadwork," although such a stipulation is in no way stated on the paperwork they provided to me, nor it is on their website. I am in the process of planning my daughter's wedding and devastated to find the condition of the dress I trusted this company to protect. They refuse to stand behind their product or their reputation.

      My mom paid for my wedding dress to be cleaned and boxed up for me a few months after my wedding by this company. My initial contact from them was an email letting me know it would take 2-10 weeks to complete and that I’d get an email when it was ready to be shipped to track. I received the tracking email after multiple weeks with a delivery date on a date during two weeks where my husband I were going to be out of town due to the military, but the dress requires an adult signature and can’t be left on a porch in the elements. So now it’s going to sit at UPS for over a week. The customer service was rude and told me I should have told them back when they sent me the 2-10 weeks email to ship it to a different address if I didn’t think I’d be home, which is highly unreasonable for me to have done given I have no other addresses or places to send it, and there was no way for me to know how long it would take to arrive in the 2-10 weeks. It’s also unreasonable for me to lay out all of my personal plans with them all summer at the outset like that. I told them they should have picked up the phone or sent advance notice the cleaning was done and it was about to be shipped which would have been a good business practice to avoid this situation, but they basically told me that’s too much effort due to the volume they handle and that it’s my fault. Would not recommend.
