We placed an order on 9/30/23 for digital photos and paid in cash. We were told that the photos would be delivered via both text and email within 48 hours. Three days later, and we have still not received our photos, nor have we received any correspondence regarding the photos. When I attempt to look up the order online, the website states that the photos do not exist I have contacted customer service via email and have not received any response. There is no phone number to speak directly with any representative. At this point, I am requesting a full refund as the photos were not delivered within the 48 hours as promised.Business Response

Customer did send an inquiry on Monday, October 02, 2023 2:47 PM. At the time of their email, we had not yet received their account from our Photography System used in the hospital We do certainly apologize for the technical delay.
We did escalate the inquiry and reached out to our photographer to have them check for the account. We found that the cart had disconnected itself from the WiFi connection, therefore the account did not transmit in to corporate.
The account transmitted in to corporate today 10/4/2023 1:23:51 PM. The order was processed 10/4/2023 1:59:17 PM. We see that the customer has been able to locate their emails to access their Digital Download products.Once again, *** apologize for any inconvenience or distress the customer may have experienced.Please know that we take customer concerns seriously, and we appreciate their patience and understanding as we worked to address this matter.

I had my newborn photos taken in hospital on Sunday 09/10/2023. I never received all of the digital download photos I paid for. Ive tried contacting customer service multiple times with no response. I feel as if I have been scammed out of $200+ in such a fragile time of our lives.Business Response

They have digital options to purchase from. Every time I attempt to purchase a digital option they hit you with a hidden and sneaky shipping and handling fee of $12.99. Shipping and handling fees should not be charged on digital items that don’t require shipping and handling. I want to purchase my digital product without the scammy shipping fee. And there’s no way around itBusiness Response

On 6/24/23 we had photos taken of our newborn at Tallahassee memorial Hospital. We received the email with a link to our photos within 24 hours along with a guest access code. Upon clicking the link and signing in I was directed to “account preferences” after filing out the preferences and hitting save I selected to view portraits. The website kept redirecting me back to the preference page and would not let me view the portraits. I then tried the access code and it kept saying it was invalid even though I copied and pasted it to the website so there is no way it was typed in wrong. I submitted a complaint through the website and have no received a response.Business Response

We appreciate your patience and are happy to assist you. The first email the customer received from Mom365, “Mom, Access (Baby's name)’s Portraits!” Is their welcome email that contains their log in credentials for the FREE Baby Portrait Page® . The images from their hospital portrait session on your FREE Baby Portrait Page® are available to share with their friends and family and do have a watermark on them as the FREE Baby Portrait Page® is for viewing purposes only and for them to preview their images prior to receiving their Digital Download. Upon review of the account, it appears that the customer opted out of displaying their baby's images on the FREE Baby Portrait Page during their photography session at bedside. We have updated your account and your images are now available for viewing on the FREE Baby Portrait Page.
Our records indicate that the email with the link to the Digital Download was indeed generated to their email on 6/24/2023 1:44:08 PM and the email with the link for your shareable slideshow was indeed generated to their email address on 6/24/2023 1:44:19 PM.
We have reset the links on their account today.
The email for their Digital Download will come from Mom365 Portraits *********************** with the subject line: *****, Your Baby's Portraits Are Ready for Download!
The email for their Shareable Slideshow will come from Mom365 Portraits*********************** with the subject line: Your Welcome Baby Slideshow is ready to download and share!
It’s also highly possible their iCloud address is filtering our emails. Microsoft/iCloud/Outllook is notorious for flagging our emails as junk or spam.. We highly suggest to click on their inbox, click search and search for DOWNLOAD. In almost all cases, this will locate the Digital Download and Shareable Slideshow emails.
Please check your inbox for two new emails from Mom365 Portraits. Please allow 24 hours to receive your new emails. If you do not see the emails, please check your spam box or junk folder as well as the promotions tab in Gmail, for the emails. Your images and slideshow are both able to be shared with family and friends immediately upon receipt to your phone, tablet or computer. Once they are accessed, viewed (Clicking on individual image links) played (Clicking play on web page), shared or downloaded (Individually and/or by ZIP File), they are non-refundable.

I am rejecting this response because:
My order states I would receive my pictures within **** business days, its well blond that processing time & no one has ever responded to my emails until I reached out to BBB & thats not acceptable at all, you shouldnt be advising customers that its **** business days but then at 11 business day youre saying it up to 20 days with ***** totaling misleading to your customers, it shouldnt take for me to go thru these lengths to reach someone to reply to me.

I recently ordered portraits from you guys on 06/05/23 from *** ******* ******** in Upland, Ca. My order number is #********. My credit card was charged more than the amount your representative had quoted us. She told my husband and I $401.11 but was charged $455.03. She tried to quote me at $549.99 for the first package but I told her I recently had a baby and used you guys before, so didn’t want to pay that price. I showed her my old email with the old price and told me I can get that same package for $20 more. The rep also told me that I shouldn’t purchase the digital print because my photos would come out to $49 each. After looking online I could have got them at $16 each. If I knew it was going to be that much more, I wouldn’t have placed the order. I already had booked a photographer to come to my home once we were released from the hospital, but canceled because I was given a better deal through mom365. (Update 06/16/23): I just received my package in the mail, I am missing the ornament that was ordered!! I sent an email to the email address provided and have yet to get a response back. I am very disappointed in the quality of service mom365 has provided.Business Response

Thank you for your inquiry. We appreciate your patience and are happy to assist you. We do see that the customer did reach out to us on Sat 6/10/2023 6:58 AM regarding their order.
We’re so sorry to hear of your experience. It is only our desire to enhance your newborn experience, and never take away. Please be assured that we will reach out to the photographer, and this will be handled appropriately in regards to the pricing and the statements regarding the Digital Download package.
It appears the price the customer is quoting they should have been charged is before Tax. The customer purchased the Silver Package @ 263.99 and added 3 add on items with our dual pricing (Special pricing with any purchase of $171.99 or more); 9x9 Memory Album @ 59.99, Pink Scalloped Personalized Ornament @ 29.99 and Canvas Gallery Wrap Print 12"x12" @ 51.99 = $405.96 + Tax = Total $424.50. When payments are processed (sent for authorization) they are authorized for the total amount before the discounts are applied, however, the Credit Card final payment settled for $424.50.
We have pulled the customers email and responded with this information. We will also confirm with the customer that they did not receive their Pink Scalloped Personalized Ornament (It could quite possibly slid inside the book). Once confirmed they have not received it, we will happily ship out another Pink Scalloped Personalized Ornament.Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:
Thank you for returning my email.
I am still unable to find the ornament. I’ve looked in the book, the box and the canvas.
When my husband and I were discussing packages and pricing with your representative, we made it very clear that we didn’t want to pay anywhere near $500 for 8 photos. I told her I was okay with just doing the digital photos online. She told us that they would cost $49 EACH. So if we multiply that by the 8 photos, we would be spending about $400, which is the same price for all the other items and we should just purchase the package instead!
After coming home and looking online myself, I noticed the online photo prints were not nearly as expensive as she has quoted up. When doing the math, each photo would have cost us about $16. She was being pushy for us to purchase the most, made it seem like she works off commission.
Overall my husband and I are completely disappointed with the over all experience. Sad to say we will not be using your company in the future and will tell friends and family about our experience that we can no longer take back.
Sincerely,
Vanessa LopezInitial Complaint

I ordered digital photos after my sons delivery on May 26, 2023 and the photographer said i would receive a confirmation email within 72 hours. I never received a notification or welcome email. When i called the hospital for the 1800 number to the company there was no one i could speak with at the company. I sent multiple emails to the website with no response from any personnel. There is no way to talk to a live agent. The 1800 number said you could speak to a live representative on the website but there is no option for that. I am seeking to get my sons photos as promised. The website claims a welcome email and digital prints within 72 hours. Mom 365, Please respond, this is very concerning that my credit card information was taken and there is no contact with the company and my sons photos are being held by the company. The website says we should receive a welcome email and I’ve checked and nothing in email or spam. What I’m seeking is my sons photos as promised.Business Response

Thank you for your inquiry. We appreciate your patience and are happy to assist you. We do see that the customer did reach out to us on Tuesday, April 18, 2023 11:57 AM regarding their Gold Package Portrait Sheets. At that time, we experienced a System Wide Maintenance issue on 04/17/2023 through 04/24/2023. We did respond to the customer on Fri 4/21/2023 4:29 PM informing them of the System Maintenance. We are currently working to address all inquiries that came in during that time frame.
The portrait sheets for their Gold Package Portrait Sheets were shipped on 03/31/2023. While the initial shipment is picked up by UPS, UPS hands off the package to your local USPS. Regretfully, the USPS does not update the tracking once the package has been received as it states in the tracking provided: ***************************************************** (01 Apr 2023 11:20 Depature Scan: Enroute to USPS Morrow, GA, 30260, United States UPS This is the final status. Carrier doesn't provide further tracking updates.) All packages arrive through the US post office.
The USPS has been taking anywhere from 7-20 Business days to deliver consolidated mail. We will reach out to the customer (via email) to inquire as to whether or not the package has been received at this time. If it has not we will have them re-confirm their mailing address and happily reship a new Gold Package to them right away.Initial Complaint

After my multiple online inquiries and phone call inquiry completely being ignored by Mom365, the company maggically sent me the download link within one hours post my complaint with BBB. Although I have downloaded and understand this is nonrefundable after download, it still doesn't feel right. If you read the response from other customers, they also said only the complaint helped them with the delivery. I hope if possible BBB should look into the issue, many new moms may not have the time and energy to follow up with the problem.Business Response

On 5/20/2023, I purchased a digital download of my daughter's newborn photos. The confirmation email stated that I should receive the link to download my pictures no later than 72 hours after my purchase. I have yet to receive anything from Mom365. I filled out the email request for information and also reached out by phone. No one answered the phone when I called and I still haven't received a response to my email.
