Customer shipped me the supplies and I only charged $10 labor plus shipping.

Payment was made 2 days before she needed the set, and priority takes 3 days usually at best. But I sent it anyway, with delivery confirmation as I always do.

She has contacted me a couple times saying she's still waiting on her item. It's had more than enough time to get there. However, the tracking # when it is looked up says that the postal service was only notified to expect a shipment...which tells me that the label was not scanned upon pickup.

Now the customer has filed a grievance with paypal against me. I did my part in constructing/shipping the item to the customer, but I can't be sure that she didn't get it and is just using the oversight of the postal carrier to get something for nothing. I'd like to trust this person as I have sewn for her in the past, but I don't think its fair for me to be out money for the time I put into the set. I have done nothing wrong here, and there was no insurance purchased on the package.

Below is the confirmation of the shipment we received from the USPS Click and ship site:

Acct #: 4690907

you said you would mail out my package on Oct.28th to be used in a photo shoot on Sat.Nov.1. you didn't , you said you were sick and didn't check emails for a couple of days and wasn't able to get to the post office. So, I didn't have it in time (with the fabric I sent her.) ( It is a simple twirl skirt for those wondering ) She purchased postage online on NOV.4, days after I needed it and started sending me snippy emails. I just want my money back for the service you didn't give me, the postage I paid for with insurance that you didn't send, and the fabric that I paid for and sent you. I do not want to reply on the website, it's ridiculous but it's funny how nice people can be until you wonder where your item is then BOOM! you can't reach by email and get no replies. Just be honest. If you still have the skirt, send it! If it was truly lost in the mail, prove it! Delivery confirmation is scanned at the delivery site by the postman so you know when it is delivered. That's kind of the point of it? You already ruined my photo shoot, just give me my money back.

Marisa,

WHY would I have told you on the 28th I was mailing it when you didn't send payment until 11:28am Pacific (2:28pm EST)October 29th?

If I had shipped the skirt via Priority Mail THAT day (which the mail had already run at that point), it still wouldn't have gotten to FL in time for your photo shoot. If you'd paid for next day air, perhaps. But $4.75 wouldn't have covered that. I even purchased gold trim for the hemline of the skirt since you didn't send any. I didn't charge you for that, so that came out of the $10 labor you were charged.

With all of my customs and auctions, there is always the option of insuring a package. You did not buy insurance for the item, and the postal service is not responsible for an uninsured item. Similarly, as a shipper, once the item leaves my hands it is out of my control.

The Postal Service clearly did not scan the label at either location. That is unfortunate for both of us. If you insist I'm sure paypal will rule in your favor being that you are a buyer, and as those of us who sell on ebay know, the buyer always wins even when they are trying to get something for nothing. I'd like to believe that is not the case with you, Marisa. I'm truly hoping that this is merely a case of the postal service losing a package.

At any rate, hope you enjoy your money back and have a very Happy Thanksgiving.

The postal service is doing some legwork tracing down this package and I WILL get to the bottom of it. In the meantime, I do highly recommend you all select 'carrier pickup' regardless of the fact that your mail carrier will still pickup the package whether you do or not...

Just for the record, for the rest of you still using USPS for shipping, you NEED to select "carrier pickup" and print some kind of retarded form that the carrier has to physically come get from you and scan, which is good for any number of packages you are sending. WHY I dont understand, because they already have trouble scanning the ONE barcode on ONE package, but whatever...

This is the postal services way of covering their hiney, but is more trouble for the customer than its worth.

You did NOT pay for insurance. You paid $4.75---the basic cost of 1 lb priority mail. Insurance is an additional $1.70 for $.01-$50 of value. So it would've cost $6.45 to ship your package INSURED. I didn't send it insured because you didn't PAY for insurance.

Just felt that needed to be pointed out. I have all copies of emails to and from you as well as the paypal payment you sent, the date and time it was sent included. I have read those and I see nothing 'snippy' in my responses other than to point out that your payment was received the afternoon prior to 2 shipping days prior to you needing the item for your shoot.

if you took the package to the post office or did you have the postman pick it up at your house? Not sure how the online delivery confirmation works if picked up but when you take it to the post office you will get your stamped receipt back.

This is a tough situation to be in on either side and also the reason I have begun shipping UPS or Fed-Ex only. Priority mail is $5 and UPS Ground is $10. It is worth the extra $5 to be able to track my package and get a delivery confirmation from the minute it leaves my fingers. The postal service delivery confirmation is the biggest waste of money. It takes days and sometimes even weeks for them to undate their site or get the confirmation ticket back to you and is totally useless if there is a problem like this.

[ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: I refuse to order from anyone who does not use the USPS. Their priority mail is the best value out there, and it does not take days to update the site. The scanners download directly into the system. Plus, mail is protected. The other delivery systems can open your packages if they want, and their rate of theft is very high!

If you would just be honest on both ends of this party then you would not have a problem. Live and Learn i suppose! Don't wait to order something you need until the last min. and Don't re order from someone you have had trouble with! We all are on here for sewing, you ladies take it back to your personal emails!

Hi, Use Copy and paste to view these shells. The pink one has been sold.

I also will once again be taking orders for Fabric bundles at 40% off. I have to get rid of my inventory because we will be moving and hubbie says to sell it. So whatever color or fabric I have in stock(and it's a lot) I will sell at 30% off. This does not include SS as I have just a limited amount of that.
Please help me out with this and I will be forever grateful

Okay, she is still not answering my e-mails or answering me through e-Bay! I ordered this dress shell in late June/early July, and paid (in full) immediately for it!! I sent her the measurements, a copy of the design, and a scrap for color and then waited a month. I contacted her to see how it was comming along, and then she e-mailed me back and said she never got it. So, I purchased another color swatch, re-measured my daughter, and resent everything. I waited another month and the same thing, only this time I had it tracked so it was recieved. However, she claimed she never got it because she moved (she did not contact me to tell me she was moving!).
So, I sent her, by e-mail, a close-up photo of the design and all my daughter's measurements and have not heard from her sense. I now have hundreds of dollars worth of stones for this dress, the money I paid her, and NO DRESS!! What should I do??? Please help!!
Like I said, I used her before for a skirt, and everything was perfect! I usually make my daughter's clothes, but I just do not have time with school!! I did e-mail her and said if she didn't have time anymore to just send my money back, but she hasn't done that either :-(

Thanks, Shanna

P.S. Thanks to all the people that sent babydoll dresses to my friend.

I contacted them, and I am waiting to hear back from them about the time limit. I explained how she never contacted me back about not getting the information (so I thought she was making the dress). This is such a mess. I know this sounds awful, but I was thinking she had been sick or something and just hadn't been on the computer. I was hoping someone on here was friends with her and would have known. It's so nice to learn you've been robbed :-(

Thanks for all your help.

Your shells are gorgeous, but I need a specific color. I am not sure if superstretch comes in a close color, so it may have to be custom dyed: which is why I did not attempt it because it appears the only dying I can do is tie-dyed!!! The color is very important.
Thanks.

Got it back within a week, nice shell. It was custom dyed though and the color came off when I removed some trim from it. She offered to make me a whole new dress so I removed all my trim ruined half my rhinestones doing so. Sent the dress back and she made another one, changed a few things I asked her to change for me to get a better fit. Got the dress back and measurements were wrong. It was HUGE on my daughter. I asked for a refund and was going to ship the dress back to her Monday but now I'm kind of scared to after hearing this.... should I just keep it and call it a loss or send it back and hope she refunds my money minus the shipping I've had to pay twice?

The pattern is so confusing, it has you cutting out 6 pieces and then sewing them together and on and on. LOL It's lost me. Can I not just cut the tulle to the length I want, lay flat and gather to desired fullnes and sew up one seem?? Will that not work??

Do I really need a pattern?? If so, should I look in the bridal stuff?? LOL It just seemed really easy, maybe I can wing it.

The dress measurements are 18 inch chest, 13.5 inches from top of shoulder to hem. What size would you consider this when going to sell it? The chest can go smaller if needed but 18 is it's max. The top is not superstretch (could not find any in the color I needed) so I am going to include hooks instead of adding a zipper.

Subject: Costume Idea - help needed...I'm looking to turn my Strawberry Shortcake outfit into a Christmas wear. I need ideas. I have the white bloomers with eyelet lace at the bottom. They have a green ribbon on them. The shirt is white with eyelet lace trimming at the neck and sleeves. The apron that came with the outfit is white but has the traditional shortcake diamonds so I can't use it. I'm thinking that I get another apron made...but with what on it?? Instead of using the green and white tights, I thought to get red and white. Any ideas on an easy way to do this???

I let it curl in it's natural form but if i want smaller curls i wrap the fishline around an empty thread spool run it under hot tap water, stick in the microwave on high for about 20 seconds (long enough to get warm dont leave it in too long or it will melt) then stick in the freezer to get cold (the longer you leave the better but will work within 15 minutes) i then take it out let it unfreeze (if frozen) until it is room temperature again and the curl has always held in its form for me. I just leave it on the thread spool and use what i need each time i use it.

I just purchased hotfix crystals and a bejeweler thinking it would be a whole lot easier than dealing with the mess from glue...but now I'm wondering if the stones will stick to the dress well enough. Should I glue them on instead. Do most of you use glue or hotfix. If you use glue...is it because it's less expensive. Also, what kind of glue works best. This is my first dress and I'm clueless, so I'd appriciate any advice you can give. TIA

Hotfix stones (if you use the hotfix tool) can burn thru the delicate fabrics (tulle/organza etc.) E6000 gives some people headaches from the fumes...others the fumes do not bother at all. I have used Aileens Jewel Glue for years from acylic stones for costume rentals and Bridalwear trims etcs. Never an issue and you can wash. On occasion you need to re-tac with a spot of glue on some items that have had heavy heavy use and only so far on the rental costumes I have designed. I have been doing Pageant wear for the last 3 years and never an issue with the Jewel glue on Swarovski Crystals (Never tried E6000 due to the warning on the back about possible causes of cancer). I'm not saying you may not loose a stone here or there with Aileens Jewel glue (I haven't yet..but I'm sure it can happen). But I have done several repairs on top designers very well made pageant dress designs that they used E6000 and have lost several stones, trims etc. More than likely...it's from not using a enough to secure the stone or trim. But that goes with any adhesive. Too much you've got a mess...too little you have lost stones.

Note: Never BEJEWELED a pageant dress. But I have used hotfix stones with the Jewel glue, and they work fine too.

Hope that helped
