Well I took it back and as the assistant manager walked out I introduced myself and shook her hand. I told her I was a client of So and so associate and then I explained everything to her.
She was FURIOUS that I didn't get my original bag back, she said the stampers use a machine, and that they have explicit instructions to call LV if there are ANY problems whatsoever. So she is calling about that. Also she said that she rarely sees perfect stamping, she said they are usually a little crooked. She said funny enough that since they quit heatstamping by hand it is rare she sees a perfect heatstamp.
The luggage tags are $47 and she ordered one for me, no stamping!!!!
But they are getting ready for their yearly inventory, so she is calling the district manager but warned me that it may be 3 days to one week to hear back from him. She said the main problem is that I signed for the bag when I picked it up. I firmly told her "Look you guys were swamped and I was running errands and ran in and out. The SA asked me if my initials were A, L and I said yes, she threw it in the dustbag and that was that."
Besides, no where on the form does it say I am satisfied with the stamping, it just says "picked up by:"
She is going to try and get me a new bag with new stamping but told me not to hold my breath. She also said though that they may consider not doing stamping anymore (at my boutique) because lately it had been nothing but a problem for them, and complaints.
She asked me to not use the bag until I hear back from her. (common sense, hello!)
So I will see in about a week. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
