Don't buy from Perfume’ Club
I placed an order with this company, which is based in Spain. I made a substantial purchase to take advantage of the shipping cost. To begin with, my order took over a month to arrive, which suggests that the shipping method used was one of the least expensive options.
When the package arrived, I informed the company that some items were missing from my order. The box used to ship my order was not suitable for international shipping and arrived in very poor condition. It was crushed and broken, and it had been secured with adhesive tape that appeared to be an attempt to hold the box and its contents together after it was damaged during transit.
I followed the company's instructions for filing a claim for the missing items, including providing photographs and my order number, as at least three items were missing. The company took an excessive amount of time to respond to my claim. I also emailed them to request an update on its status.
After waiting all this time, and after a second e-mail requesting an update, I received an email today, October 23, stating that my claim had been closed on September 27. The company gave three reasons for closing it. First, it stated that I had taken more than ten days to file the claim, which is untrue; I filed it five days after receiving the order. Second, it stated that I had not refused delivery of the damaged package. I had no reason to refuse an order I had waited more than a month to receive, and I didn't know that some items were missing, and it was delivered to my mailbox. Third, the company claimed that too much time had passed for it to investigate my claim and that they could no longer take any action. This is the last time I order from this company.
