      I am having a terrible experience with this retailer. I placed an order on May 5 for a pair of sunglasses, using Klarna to pay for it. I received a confirmation from Klarna immediately, and my payment was processed, but I never received an order confirmation from the Gentle Monster. I followed up via email the next day to ensure my order actually went through, and they responded letting me know my order was processed and they provided the order number. After I never received a shipping notification, I followed up again on 5/9, and they responded saying my glasses had shipped and provided a ***** tracking number. When I used the number to track on the ***** website, it was for someone else's package that was delivered in ******* on May 8. I also went on the Gentle Monster website and used the "Track Your Order" link on their website and input the order number they provided and all I get is a popup that says "you order does not exist". I have followed up via email 4 times since and no one has responded. I also tried calling the customer service number listed on site multiple times and days, and it goes straight to voicemail and just says "this number does not have voicemail setup". At this point, I am wondering if this is a scam and they just took my money. Totally unacceptable. I need an update on if my order actually exists and what the true status of it is.

      Returning a GM product is very challenging. On their sunglasses frame, there are multiple little stickers which are very easily falling when you try on. They also have a little card coming with the product that one can easily omit. To make a successful return, in addition to making sure the product in its perfect original condition, you'll also have to make sure all those little parts stay in their perfect original conditions. I think GM does this on a very evil purpose - THEY SET YOU TO FAIL SO THEY CAN SELL MORE.I purchased 3 pairs and decided to return 2 of them. Unfortunately, I placed the card for the product I kept into the return box for the one I wanted to return. After nearly 2 months waiting, I received a package and a refund decline saying the card was incorrect so they can't refund me. This is a truly disappointing shopping experience I've ever have.
