I placed an order for 2 cases and 2 MagSafe grips from their site the day after their Rodeo collection debuted. I waited for nearly 2 weeks and contacted them about my order since it never shipped. I was told that they are working on it. Great. I was then told that they were out of stock, which I had a feeling that they oversold the Disco Cowgirl items. I was offered to wait and they would send out the in stock items. I was only told that the Cocoa Cow MagSafe grip was out of stock. However, when I received the package in the mail, the Cocoa Cow Phone case and Cocoa MagSafe Grip were in the package. I was missing the Disco Cowgirl Phone case and the Disco Cowgirl MagSafe grip. I contacted Velvet Caviar and they said that I was only missing the Cocoa Cow MagSafe grip and asked me to send a copy of the invoice, which I did. They confirmed that they did not include the 2 items and told me that they would send it once it was in stock. Forward a few days, I was browsing their site and saw that the Disco Cowgirl items were available for my make and model of my phone, but was told in an email they didn't have them available. So I contacted them on ******** inquiring if they were in stock and was told YES with a link to purchase. I emailed customer service and was told they were working night and day to fulfill orders. Okay, so why not just get mine out to me since I had ordered 3 weeks ago. And then I emailed them and told them they could just refund me the $40 and I could just place the order all over again, to which my request has been ignored.Business response

Hi *******, I'm sorry to hear you experienced some issues with your recent order. It looks like their was a high volume or orders placed during that time which cause a delay in your order shipping out. We do apologize for that, as we understand that can be frustrating. I do see that your order was split and some items were shipped first & the remaining items were shipped out as well. Our support team has reached out to you with the tracking number for that second shipment for you.Customer response

My mother ordered a phone case from this website, which had a different hue in person than it did in the pictures & looked/felt a little different than I thought it would. I immediately put it back in the packaging with intention for her to return it. Due to personal extenuating circumstances, we were not able to e-mail the company about the returning/refunding process until just a few short days after the window closed because when she tried earlier this month, the e-mail with a return label was not sent to her e-mail. The company's first representative who responded made it seem like an accommodation would be made as long as I sent pictures of the item in perfect condition, still with packaging etc., but then another representative responded to the thread attempting to override with only offering store credit or exchanging. There is no difference between the condition of my item & that of one that is still within the return window. They gave the impression they would be willing to give a refund if pictures were sent, but now it seems as though sending pictures was worthless since the answer has not changed. The pictures were supposed to provide proof that this item is absolutely able to be returned in mint condition. Im requesting that this company allow the **************** as implied in the initial exchange. I absolutely do not want store credit or an exchange, as the second representative attempted to do. I would also appreciate a response from the business letting me know once the refund/return has been approved.Initial Complaint

On Monday, November 6th 2023 I received my order of a white magsafe grip. Upon opening, I saw that it was coming apart on the back. I emailed about a replacement. I was told to send photos which I did twice and a video 3 times. I haven't once heard back unless I email and ask for an update. I emailed 11/7, 11/8, 11/13, 11/17x3, 12/21 because I still didn't hear back and today, 12/29, to send the video they still say they haven't gotten. I have never seen such horrible customer service.Customer response

I purchased the case one week, shy of a month ago I contacted velvet caviar and asked basically what was going on that is been about 8 to 11 days that the item hasnt been shipped even though it says that it will take an extra few days to be shipped out on their website but it didnt say that it would take two weeks. It said a few days a few days its not a week plus when the website states that the item will be shipped and processed within 3 to 5 business days, not 7+ business days two weeks later I contacted the company asking if I should get a refund because my item has not been shipped thats when velvet caviar should have said we can refund your money since its taking amount of days longer than expected or give us store credit one but they said no its just gonna take a little extra a few days as I said a few days should not take two weeks for you to ship an item. Consumer ask if they get refunded or did they want a refund they should automatically get the refund instead of having to fight the company for itBusiness response

I placed an order on Nov 3. It shipped on Nov 6, and according to ***** was delivered on Nov 8. I never got it. I have a locked mailbox so there is no chance someone removed it. I contacted Velvet Caviar on Nov 9 and Nov 11. Both times their response was less than desired. Their position was to "wait and see" because this "happens all the time" and to keep waiting because it is "usually resolved in a few days". Um, what? The package was sent with $100 insurance, which I can see on the **** site. Why would the business expect me, the customer, to just "wait and see" when they've had my money for over a week and can easily resolve on their side with insurance? I work in the finance/operations space and this is NOT how you treat customers. As the consumer I am owed either a refund or my product. It is not my responsibility to continue to be inconvenienced and it is **** poor customer service to say "oh, just keep waiting!".Business response
