ive emailed them, within the past 2 years probably three times. no answer on any of those emails to this day lol. a couple of the emails were about bags, the other about clothing. i dont know any of the sales assoc. names, because i have never actually bought anything from there, but last time i was in NYC, i stopped in there. the security guard, and the only sales assoc. (a guy) that seemed to be working that day were both super nice. in your rude SA's defense (because ive worked retail, and still to this day work in customer service)...ive had people call the store i worked at, wanting me to go around, hunting down item codes from the catalogs, seeing if we have this or that, basically annoying the piss out of me when i just wanted to tell them to haul their lazy ass in the store and figure it out for themselves. i mean, it wasnt my job to be "selling" them on stuff over the phone. however- the store i worked at pretty much had another store in every other city throughout the US. balenciaga has very few stores, so naturally you get clients who arent able to hop on a plane and fly over to the nearest balenciaga just to buy a bag. the SA's have to be able to work with clients over the phone, thru email, etc. and i understand your frustration waiting for a response, because youre excited about the bag and dont want to wait forever. sometimes stores that have items that carry such hefty price tags seem to have SA's that think they dont have to provide good customer service because the items will sell themselves. WRONG. the client should be treated like royalty -- or a celeb, for that matter, because its an upscale store. you deserve a SA who is willing to go above and beyond. i would just do what the other girls were saying -- call and ask for an SA with a good rep. after all they do receive commission. they should deserve it, right?
sorry for rambling. lol
