We would have been happy to have switched to another suit (some are even the same suits from other manufacturers), however, this particular client asked for a refund and a full refund was given. We are not a shady company. We have been in business online for the past 14 years (longer than any discount flower girl company), we have an A rating with the BBB and have an outstanding reputation with our vendors- we have been proud to have dressed over 1 million flower girls. In the wedding business (especially in high season) stock changes daily, and this is something that is out of our control...this is why we ask that clients plan ahead for purchases for any wedding apparel, not just a suit or flower girl. Nonetheless, we regret any client being upset as is not our intent. If there are any questions regarding this review I may be reached directly at belinda@flowergirldressforless.com”

To resolve her frustration, we issued a UPS pre-paid return shipping label that cost our company $12.50 and refunded her shoes in full when they were received back. We had asked the client to remove this posting as we went beyond loss to help her.”

reply posted May-19-2013 “Client purchased only socks and shoes with us. She contacted us after the event to return worn shoes and socks, she was denied as they were worn. She sent them back anyway and opened a paypal dispute against us before she sent them back. She wrote this review before the shoes even came in and that we had a chance to help. The shoes came back so scuffed and worn that it looked like they had been scraped against a sidewalk and ran over by a car. The socks were completely black on the bottom and soiled and missing side bows (client wrote that the child ran outside in them and that yes, the "child is hard on their shoes." We contacted the client upon arrival of the items and tried to reason with her. We figured it was not worth the hassle on both sides and so we said that we would refund her in full.
She agreed in writing that she would take down all of her reviews once she saw the refund and even after that full refund- she refused to make good on her promise. She even got refunded on items that she kept as a courtesy....and the Paypal account manager called her on our behalf and asked her to take down the review she still would not take it down.
This is by far the worst, most abusive client that we have encountered to date- over a 19.99 pair of worn shoes and 7.99 worn socks. Very disheartening. Most all of our competitors do not even return "new" shoes, however, we do. I am even regretful of having to post a public response- but the public needs to see both sides to this review and client.
UPDATE: Melinda Hitch- your intent from the beginning and the end of this was only to hurt and bully our company- Paypal did not side with you- they honored your refund as a courtesy to both parties to close your case against us (they did not even deduct our account due to the way that you acted toward us. They did it to help us (they read every single one of your emails). Our company has a large, long standing Premier Business Account with Paypal and has an impeccable record with them and that can be verified with one phone call. You are still being slanderous to us. You are still not owning up to the fact that you bullied us into a refund, where threatening, "said in writing that you would take these reviews down once you got what you wanted". We (us and paypal) gave you that full refund (you kept items you did not pay for) and then did not retract. There were more than 20 emails- phone calls and I got involved and our Paypal account manager asked you to honor your word on taking down the reviews- and you still did not. That is the truth and the public should know. We have tried with Reseller Ratings to get this down and their suggestion was to write the truth- so that is what we have been forced to do. We apologized for the shoes (we have sold more than 10,000 units of these beautiful shoes), we gave you a FULL refund and let you keep items, we begged you and paypal management asked you to take this down and you still are not doing it. The public should know about this and there are 2 sides to every story. This was not nice on your part.”

We are so happy that you were pleased with your daughters dress- and thank you for the mention that the dress looked better in person than it did on the site. That is always great to hear that it exceeded your expectations as that is what we are striving for with every sale. :) Best wishes to you and your family. Belinda and Staff.”

Yes, more than 99% of our clients are happy and we never hear from them...unfortunately, most people who post reviews are the small percentage of unsatisfied clients. Keep in mind we handle thousands of brides a week and we know that in this type of business, there are just some people who cannot be pleased.
Thank you for taking the time to write in about your positive experience- it does mean the world to us that every customer is happy. And thank you for letting us know that your 4 dresses worked perfectly. All of our very best to you. Belinda and Staff.”

The order number that was left is 90350 and that is not ours- we contacted Reseller Ratings and they would not take this down as they wrote back that they do not take down any reviews after 1 year of posting (as stated in their policies).”

"Unfortunately, my experience with FlowerGirlDressforLess was not a pleasant one.
I placed an order at the end of April for two beautiful flower girl dresses, both a size 6.
I received an initial email that said this item was out of stock and were awaiting new shipments from the manufacturer. I was told I would have the dresses by the end of May. This was plenty of time for our July 2013 wedding.
This past week, I emailed the company and asked for an update on the manufacturer's timeline. It was only then that I received a response informing me that the manufacturer pushed the date back once again til the middle of June. I became very upset, as one could imagine. Why should I be the one to reach out to you (the company) about an order I placed and its setback? Shouldn't you be contacting me? Needless to say, I became aggravated and frustrated and continued my order all while looking for the same dress at different retailers.
I found the same dress and had the same issue with the dress being out of stock. However, I was told I would have it in hand by the other company no later than June 10.
I have since cancelled my order with FlowerGirlDress for Less. I will admit that I had prompt email service but the idea that I had to inquire about the timeline only for them to supply information really bothered me. For this, I will not be working with them in the future nor recommending their website. If the company had been more upfront with communication, then I wouldn't have had such an issue."
