  I purchased three items off of Barefoot dreams website. When my order was delivered, the order only had 2/3 items. I contacted barefoot dreams and they put in a dispute against ***. *** close the case, denying claims. So I received an email back from barefoot dreams saying they wont either refund me or send me a replacement item that I did not receive. I told barefoot dreams, it was not a *** problem. It was a barefoot dreams problem that they did not send me all of my items in my order. I read a bunch of reviews online saying similar things have happened to other people and that this could be a scam company.

  Hello Teg,

  Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience you experienced regarding your recent order with us.

  
  We understand how disappointing it must have been to receive an incomplete order. As part of our policy, when items are missing, we work closely with *** to investigate and resolve the issue. This includes filing a claim to determine whether the issue occurred during transit. In your case, all items were scanned and confirmed as shipped together from our facility, which is why the claim with *** was necessary.

  
  Unfortunately, the claim was denied because *** indicated they were unable to contact you. We reached out to confirm your availability and contact information to dispute the claim, but we did not receive the information required to proceed further. We apologize if this process felt cumbersome or unclear and for any misunderstanding about the next steps.

  
  Please know that we take situations like this very seriously, and your feedback will help us evaluate our processes to ensure better communication and resolution for our customers in the future. If you would like us to reopen the claim and continue pursuing a resolution, we would be happy to assist further.

  Warm Regards,

  Barefoot Dreams

  I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Barefoot Dreams following an unsatisfactory experience with my online order (Order #BFD_611309) placed on October 17, 2024, totaling $268.15.The order was scheduled for delivery on October 22, 2024, but has yet to arrive. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue through Barefoot Dreams' customer service, I have encountered considerable frustration. My efforts to reach them via chat and phone have been unsuccessful; chats frequently disconnect, and I have been unable to connect with anyone by phone. I also submitted a claim related to the delivery issue, but *** closed the claim due to their inability to contact me. As I am currently deployed overseas in the ****, my service is occasionally unreliable, complicating communication.Since the order was misdelivered by their carrier, it is Barefoot Dreams' responsibility to pursue the claim and resolve the matter. ***** reliability is questionable, as the photograph they provided is too dark to be useful.The unresolved status of this order is causing me significant stress, particularly given my deployment. I submitted a photograph of my home as evidence, yet I continue to face difficulties in getting this matter resolved.Given the circumstances and the substantial amount involved, I feel it is necessary to escalate this matter. I kindly request your assistance in addressing this complaint. I seek a full refund for my order, as I will not be home for a replacement and can no longer devote time and energy to resolving these ongoing issues.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt *********** a paying customer why should i be stressing over this if this is not my carrier and i am not the shipper by law the shipper has to rectify this mess

  Hello *******, 

  Thank you for reaching out and for your patience while we investigate the issue with your order. We sincerely apologize for the frustration youve experienced and any additional stress this has caused during your deployment. We appreciate your service and want to ensure this matter is resolved promptly and fairly.

  Regarding your concerns:

  Order Delivery Issue: I want to clarify that we immediately initiated a claim with *** as soon as we became aware of the delivery issue. The claim is currently still under review by ***, and it is not accurate that it has been closed at this time. We're continuing to monitor the claim closely and are fully committed to ensuring that you receive either your order or a resolution.

  Liability and Resolution: As stated in our FAQ, we are not responsible for lost or stolen packages once they have been marked as delivered by the carrier. However, please rest assured that in this situation, we are handling all the necessary follow-ups with *** on your behalf. At no point have we asked you to take further action, and we are doing everything on our end to resolve the matter.
  

  Next Steps: I understand that your current circumstances may limit communication, so I want to assure you that we will notify you as soon as we receive any updates from ***. As soon as the claim process has been resolved, we will be able to issue a refund, as requested.
  Thank you for your patience and understanding. 
  
  Warm Regards,
  Barefoot Dreams

  Ordered a Mother's Day satin pajama set on Thursday, May 9. I paid $25.20 for 2 day air shipping expecting it to arrive on the Saturday prior to Mother's Day. On Friday, I got a tracking notice saying it should be delivered on Monday, May 13- they day after Mother's Day.I reached out and was informed sorry, they had up to 10 days to get it packed before sending it out. I responded, why would I pay over $25 for 2 day air, that was misleading. They proceeded to send me a clip showing on the site that was their policy. I said it was not listed where I ordered which I felt was misleading. I sent them a clip showing what was still running on their site today saying if ordered by 5/6 3-day air and 5/7 2-day air guaranteed arrival. Unfortunately, I saw it was advertising for Mother's Day and just assumed without reading that Mother's Day ordering was still available. Honestly, why have that scrolling across the top of their website if it is not available for delivery. I just feel that this is deceptive, and I did not expect that from this company. I have been a loyal customer for years, just never ordering directly from their website. The only reason I did was you cannot get the satin pajamas anywhere in my town and that is what my co-worker's wife was wanting so I ordered these for him as a gift for her assuring him that she would be thrilled since Barefoot Dreams is so comfortable and luxurious. Expectations of a luxury brand are a little different that ******* shipping or customer service.

  Hello *****, 

  We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with your recent order and for any confusion regarding our order processing and shipping policies.

  We understand your frustration with the discrepancy between the expected delivery date and the actual delivery date of your Washed Satin Eye Mask PJ Set. We strive to provide clear and accurate information to our customers, and we apologize for any confusion caused by the timing of your order.

  We acknowledge that our website stated customers should order by May 7th with the ***** air shipping method for guaranteed arrival by Mother's Day. However, you placed your order on May 9th, which resulted in a delay in delivery beyond your expectations.

  In light of the inconvenience you experienced, we will be issuing a refund for the shipping costs as a gesture of goodwill. Additionally, given the circumstances, we are willing to accommodate a return for your final sale order, should you decide to do so.

  If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team.

  Warm Regards,
  Barefoot Dreams

  I am rejecting this response because:
  I emailed at least 3x in order to get my refund. I had emailed on 12/9regarding their refund process and did not receive a response s until 12/20. The item was received by Barefoot Dreams on 12/12. Their warehouse closure was on 12/29. Even after their warehouse opened on 1/10 I did not receive my refund in ***** business days. My refund was finally processed after a complain was filed on the same day. The chat function never loaded despite several attempts. No one picked up during business hours and j called from multiple numbers including my work. There was no email even notifying me my item was received and I had to check the tracking myself.  This business does not respond in a timely fashion, only replies with pre templated emails, and did not process my refund within ***** business days per their policy. I am concerned and disappointed by how unaware they are of their poor customer service and the delay and obstacles customers must incur to receive a response. 

  Sincerely,

  Item was not included in shipment, claim with *** was filed and denied - as it should be. Not *** responsibility to ship and pack all items in box. No refund or replacement sent. This is theft.

  Hello *******, 
  
  

  Upon thorough investigation we found that our warehouse successfully packed all the items you ordered.

  We understand your frustration with the missing item, however, the package was successfully delivered, as confirmed by *** through photo proof and your acknowledgment of receipt.

  We filed a claim with *** on your behalf to investigate any potential issues during transit, but unfortunately, the claim was denied due to the conclusive evidence of successful delivery.

  As a gesture of goodwill we offered to issue store credit for the missing item, however, you declined the offer. 

  At this point, we consider this transaction closed.  Our goal is to always provide a very positive shopping experience for all our customers, and, for this reason, we continue to be available to you by phone or email, should you decide to accept our goodwill offer for store credit for the item that you claimed was missing.
  
  Best Regards,

  Ordered In the Wild blanket during Nordstrom anniversary sale (reg $180, pd $119). Quality far less than my other one of same style. Then ordered exact same from ************************* to compare, and that one was way nicer, thicker, softer. THEN when I looked at tag to check fabric content it had a Threshold tag sewn inside - which is Target brand and sells for $30 there!!! Shame on Barefoot Dreams and/or Nordy for trying to pass this off to their customers!!! I feel all customers duped by this during 2023 summer anniversary sale should be refunded!

  Hello *********,
  
  We do not own, sell, or manufacture products from the Threshold brand.  We have never authorized any third party to display Threshold products with Barefoot Dreams' hangtags.  Please contact Nordstrom for further clarification.  We will do the same, as we would never allow Threshold products to be tagged with our brand.  We thank you for your continued support and hope that you will visit our website to shop the latest arrivals in our Barefoot Dreams' line.

  Response is a lie. Attached in orig complaint is a photo of Barefoot Dreams blanket with Threshold (Target) tag sewn inside. When I returned blanket to Nordstrom *********, ** location I looked at other blankets on display and they also had this label sewn inside. Nordstrom selling for $180 and Threshold/Target sells this far lesser quality for approx $30! Looks like your company shipped Nordstrom wrong batch and all customers who purchased were duped need to be refunded accordingly! Do not try passing off blame to **********

  I placed an order for a total of five items. As soon as I placed the order I tried to cancel so that I could remove one item from the list. Unfortunately, there was no option to do so. I immediately emailed customer service and they stated there was nothing they could do. I couldn't even cancel the entire order. Given that this is a gift and being shipped to someone else, I can return anything.
