Am So Annoyed!

[Smowball]

My fault, so I don’t expect any sympathy. Just need to offload. I have an online FB shop which a lot of you know. I have a customer who has bought from me loads of times, always collects from my house and pays in full, never had an issue.
A month ago she posted on FB saying she’d been invited to last min party and had nothing to wear. I knew she was similar size so send her pics of a couple of dresses I’d not even worn - still had labels. Told her to just drop them back on the Sunday. Sunday came and went. Message her. Daughter sick. Ok. Following week - I’ll be there in an hour. No show . Next week. Sorry family issues- see u in half hr. no show. I’ve had a month of this. These are two beautiful expensive dresses and I know I’ve been silly but I don’t know what to do, if anything. What would you do??

Any luck Smow??

Update - I’ve got the dresses back!!

[seekeerz]

Did she return them ?

[LadyCG]

Good result, Smow. I'd give her a wide berth henceforth and not do any sort of business with her.

[Smowball]

Was quite weird. She messaged yet again saying she was dropping off and didn’t appear so I asked for her home address and said I’d collect. Yesterday morn (I was in garden) she turned up, shoved both dresses in Mr Smows hands and ran off!

Weird indeed.

[seekeerz]

Very strange, but a good result for you, you don't really need clients like that ! Sounds like she was very embarrassed about it for some reason.

Were the dresses clean?

[Smowball]

Dresses still on hangers and perfect. She followed about an hour later with a txt saying so so sorry so I don’t really know what happened x

[Jackdaw33]

It could be that for whatever reason she no longer had the money to pay for them.

[Smowball]

Agreed.x
