Wow, I have only purchased from eLux once and I will never again after hearing this!!! I hope this gets resolved. It's horrible service especially for luxury goods they are supposed to be selling.

thank you for your constant advice.

i'm sick to my stomach in anger/anguish as eLux currently owes me a lot of money, and now they are refusing to send me a billable stamp for my amarante roxbury (because i am no longer a valid customer), which means i have to drive two hours to the nearest fedex store if i want to return it. PLUS, they have misplaced my returned wallet - even though i have fedex confirmation that it is in elux possession.

eLux and their 100% satisfaction guarantee obviously doesn't apply to all - i hope this never happens to anyone, not even my worst enemy.

OMG!! This is just horrible! I will NEVER buy from them again! I don't believe that anyone can trust that they will receive new merchandise from them.....they obviously send out used stuff. I received the white sweet mono ring and it had 2 black chips in it. I returned it with no problem, but still. I also received a black inclusion speedy charm and it was all scratched up. I returned it with no problem, but I'm done. Please keep after them!!! This is just uncalled for!!

Ok. Backing out of E-lux now.

Have you called your state consumer protection agency?

God that makes me so angry! I'd be doing so many calls and contacting eLux nonstop if I was in your place since it's their fault!

So sorry to hear this happen to you, so angry for you. When you're spending so much money on an item, you expect the level of quality and craftmanship for the item. I actually just brought an item at a local boutique few days ago, the SA pretty much got it from the back and directly put it in the bag claiming it's new. It was definitely a return when i inspected it at home, so I went back to the store and I told them to give me a few to pick from. When spending hundreds and thousands of dollars, it's best to inspect it in person. Fortunlately e-lux doesn't ship to Canada, else I would have ordered from them already.

Keep us updated!

YOU shouldn't have to want to be their customer. THEY should want you to be their customer.

with everything that is happening, you do NOT want to use one of their billable stamp for returning anything to them! You want to go to FED EX yourself and pay for it yourself and you be listed as the sender so if it is lost, you are refunded NOT eLUXURY. (FED EX only refunds the sender for loss or damage) Second of all you want to have FED EX acquire a DIRECT signature! This is how I was able to finally get my credit for a wallet that they had for weeks which I had returned. I had to get American Express and FED EX involved. NEVER use a DEBIT CARD ANYONE with LV's site or Eluxury ALWAYS USE A MAJOR CREDIT CARD!!! You say you have a long drive to FED EX, do you have a Kinko's near you, for so many of the Kinko's have FED EX staff on location and therefore are a full- service FED EX facility. This is the location I use now, for before I was driving a good 40 minutes until I found out about Kinko's 5 minutes from me was a full-service FED EX facility.

Also, I was wondering did you mention to the manager that you are a member of TPF and that there had been a number of complaints recently from other members who have posted such problems with eLUXURY recently? If not, I wonder if Eluxury would address the problems that have been recently reported here from so many members if they were aware of all these recent complaints from so many. We are not speaking of only a handful of people, there are new postings each week on either problems with orders from LV's website or Eluxury. I remember when Eluxury had the VERY BEST customer service and I actually use to enjoy and prefer ordering from them over buying at a boutique because there service was so good, so prompt, so easy online ordering, and each and every item I use to get was PERFECT, I mean really perfect !!! Like no one had ever touched the item before me, that kind of perfect!!! Its just not like this now, I started seeing a difference approx 18 months ago. I really wonder if returns and exchanges at boutiques are being forwarded to LV's new website ordering and Eluxury for how else could there be so many defects and/or used flawed merchandise from 2 places! Please keep us informed.

If I were you, I would contact the president of eLUXURY and not fool with the superviosrs in customer serivce. I think once a decision is made to blacklist or ban a customer, the supervisors simply do not have the authority to undo the wrong that has been done.

They are just contradicting themselves.
Funny how their "very strict LV team" didn't pick up on the faults of items that was last returned before sending it out to another customer.

Agree with what everyone has said, it's disgusting service and the situation is completely unfair.

Try all the options people have given and maybe even contact the media (like Dateline of something..lol) as companies listen when they get bad PR (though you would think the PR they are getting on TPF also enough to sit up an take notice-SO many people have had bad experiences with them).

Now I'm really hesitant to buy from them. Just ordered something recently-really hope it's all fine

Wonder why they treat customer's so appallingly?
Maybe because they just assume they sell luxury goods and have a lot of customer's who will still continue to shop there so it doesn't really matter.....

Anyway hope it all works out for u!

^You know, maybe start with a local outlet first. I know *most* local news stations have a consumer rights person who investigates cases of fraud/companies who take people's money and never deliver, etc. I'd probably start there...at least get someone involved who may be of some professional help and who may know whom to contact for cases like this.

[quote=restricter;5419819]I assume you live in one of the 50 states. Your state has a consumer protection agency and I recommend that you file a complaint with that agency. You can also complain to the Better Business Bureau. eLux is a member organization, which means there will definitely be follow-up. Here's the link to the BBB's web-page about Elux which shows that there is a complaint history: http://goldengate.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Re...116&firm=36069 There is also a phone number for the President's office, which means you can bypass the customer service BS.

Yes, I totally agree with you on that, Restricter (from above). You should file a complaint to the Better Business Bureau (this will effect their business in some way). Then, you should follow up by writing a letter and address it to the president of eLUXURY. Try to find out the name of the manager and the SA's name and write their names in the letter. Try to explain the story in verbatim on what had happened & if you have dates of occurrences, even better.

Good luck!

This is absolutely disgusting on the part of eLux, they should not be allowed to get away with it! Keep hassling them and the above ways of filing a complaint seem like a good avenue to go down
