TOOK MY MONEY FOR AN OUT OF STOCK ITEM WITHOUT TELLING ME

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - A product was missing from my order and I was charged.
  • - No alert or update was provided; customer service gave a stock response and 15% off.

HORRIBLE. I spent over $500 online and one of the products was missing from my order.

Not a big deal, right? Well, I contacted their customer service department who informed me that the product was NOT AVAILABLE and yet I WAS CHARGED. I didn't receive any communication alerting me to this issue. In fact, I would have never known if it wasn't for me reaching out.

To make matters worse, they shrugged it off with a stock response and offered me a laughably basic 15% off. I will take my high-spending, beauty addiction elsewhere.

Poor business practices little concern for customer

AI Highlights
  • - Order placed 10 days ago; received a refund email with no explanation.
  • - The item is no longer available; there is no real-time inventory or price match.

I ordered an item 10 days ago and am just now receiving an email notifying me of a refund. No further explanation was given.

When I called, I was told the item is no longer available. In this age of technology, what kind of online retail business doesn't have an inventory system with real-time data? And during the holidays, to not be notified for 10 days is unacceptable. I asked the phone representative for a substitution.

There was a partially similar item, but Bluemercury would not match the price of what I ordered - they failed. They just don't care.

Preferred solution: Price reduction

User's recommendation: Don’t shop at Bluemercury. Their website is misleading and customer service to loyal members lacking

AI Highlights
  • - I received the wrong order and sent it back.
  • - I am waiting for the correct order.
  • - I got a return label for another order to return the wrong one.

Very dissatisfied. I received the wrong order and then sent it back.

I am still waiting for the correct order.

I received a return shipping label for another order I placed and had already received to return the incorrect order. I have no other information and am just trying to use the up the symbol requirement.

Didn’t receive what I ordered

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I didn't receive my full order; what arrived looked like samples and all four items were sold out.
  • - They credited me after I sent a photo.
Bluemercury - Didn’t receive what I ordered

Didnt receive my order. What I did receive appeared to be samples.

Unfortunately, they were sold out of all 4 items I bought. I cannot understand what happened. They promptly credited me after I sent picture of what did come.

It is so irritating.

I literally have never had this happen anywhere where the entire order is not sent. I ordered a bunch of stuff from Aromatherapy Associates but as you can see below this aint it.

Asked to leave store for wanting to try a different product

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - There were three visits; one employee pushes favorites.
  • - I felt pressured into purchases and am done with Blue Mercury.

I have visited this store three times to give it a fair shot. There is one employee (I think she is also the manager), and she strongly recommends her favorites and is not informative about options.

I have made two purchases that I am unhappy with, feeling pressured. I visited the store this week because of a notification that they have a special offer for my birthday. I need a new foundation and asked for a recommendation. She steered me to her favorite brand and when I suggested it didnt feel right, she continued pushing the product.

I asked about another specific brand I had like before and she tried to steer me away. Reluctantly, she offered to match my shade. I asked her if she was upset with me and she said yes because she already showed her favorite. I asked if I should leave the store, and she said yes.

She did not even offer the birthday gift.

I have spent hundreds of dollars on overpriced skincare for myself and my husband this year at this store. I am done with this store and done with Blue Mercury.

Pros:
  • Seems to offer high end skincare
Cons:
  • Dont respond to customer concerns
  • Awful service
  • Informal

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution

User's recommendation: Try not to be bullied into a product your not happy with.

No one answers email. Phone calls are dropped.

AI Highlights
  • - Over $400 purchase; promo included gift bag and four $20 gift cards.
  • - Order arrived without the bag or cards.
  • - Contact via email; corporate calls dropped.

I am a frequent customer of Bluemercury. I recently.bought over $400.00 of.products which promised me a gift bag and #4 $20.00 Gift Cards as promised in a promotion.

I received my order but no cards and no gift bag. I have tried contacting by way of email 2x.

And by calling corporate for an answer my calls are dropped. I am very angry with this customer service and know that my items are available elsewhere for the future.

Worst shipping

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Order placed over a week ago and still unshipped.
  • - Support is hard to reach; order shows unfulfilled after 9 days; bought elsewhere for $100 extra.

Placed an order over a week ago and they still havent shipped it out yet. They claim its due to the virus but I ordered several other things in the previous weeks and those shipped out within two days.

Customer service is near impossible to reach and when you do they say it will be shipped soon. Well its now been 9 days since order was placed and still listed as unfulfilled on the account status. This is a $500 Oder I placed! Im absolutely done shopping with them.

They are the most inconsistent and unreliable company Ive dealt with.

Ive had to buy one of the products elsewhere now because Im running out of the current one I have and clearly they wont ship my order soon enough to have the one I ordered from them. So that just cost me an extra $100 on top of the $500 I bought from them!

User's recommendation: Stay away! Unreliable and slow to ship!

  • - Waited 32 minutes, moved from Cue #2 to Cue #1, was told to leave a message because the call wouldn't be taken, and calls it poor customer service.

After waiting for 32 minutes and going from Cue #2 to Cue #1, I was notified you won't take the call and I should leave a message. I have never heard of such poor customer service. I expect to hear from someone 415 505 ****.
