Great dresses, bad customer service
A company shows its customer service standards when something goes wrong, not when everything goes right.
I returned a Try-at-Home dress using Avery Austin’s prepaid FedEx return label. FedEx accepted the package, but it later stalled in transit. Throughout the process, the explanation I received from Avery Austin repeatedly changed.
First, I was told my subsequent Try-at-Home order could not be fulfilled because the size I ordered had been damaged. Then I was told the issue was related to my outstanding return. Finally, the cancellation email stated that there was “not enough stock” to fulfill the order.
The explanation for the return issue also shifted over time. Initially, I was told they had no information beyond the fact that FedEx had accepted the package. Later, I was told the problem was my fault because the original shipping label was also inside the box, despite the correct prepaid return label being attached to the outside and used by FedEx to accept and process the shipment.
Rather than offering a consistent explanation or working toward a solution, Avery Austin placed my paid order on hold and ultimately shifted responsibility for a shipping issue that occurred after the carrier had taken possession of the package.
I cancelled my order and will not be doing business with Avery Austin in the future.
