I said that I'd take it further if I didn't get my money back or proof of postage as it is theft.

If you need any help with pushing it further (if it's needed) don't hesitate to contact me.
Hopefully she'll just get sick of you asking and do something about it.
CommentAuthorkjl87
This is the response I got when I asked was it genuinely posted:
Yes! It was made as you described and posted. I unfortunately got a call from my sister in law to say that my mother in law had had a stroke so we had to go to Sussex to be with my husbands family otherwise I could have sorted this out ages ago. I have been making toppers for 10 years and had only one vanish in transit so I'm sure there must be an explanation. I did delete your posts because to be honest I could do without the added stress of other brides panicking unnecessarily. I can see why you are worried as we are super close but you don't need to be. I am not in the business of letting people down!!
she needs to manage her time better then and deliver it 6 weeks prior to your wedding, as first agreed, this is her doing not yours, she needs to understand the stress she has put you under!
CommentAuthorkjl87
Exactly - or if it is going to be delayed at least contact me and let me know, I can't be the only one.

The fact on othe forums there have been similar issues is very fishy!

She has finally sent me a photo of it - and I'm so upset it hasn't come yet as I love it. She said she can't find the postage receipt though. She has said she can make another one this weekend.
CommentAuthorGlitterfairy
I hope you get it, but any real business person would have explained at the start what had happened, not wait until you had made multiple complaints,

CommentAuthorWelshBrideBethan2015
Would she send it recorded delivery ? As in the new one she says she will make in the weekend?

I would have thought an item like that would already be sent recorded delivery...
Let's hope she does as she says, but have a back up plan just in case. Having two toppers isn't as bad as none at all.
EDIT - SORRY NO PROMOTION OF COMPANIES IS ALLOWED ON THE FORUM.

It shouldn't have taken me to accuse her of basically being a thief to get a photo that I was promised weeks ago. Still not turned up in the post, and she still can't find the receipt. Surely a woman who has been doing this for as long as she said she has would keep better track? Just seems too coincidental that mine has gone missing in the post and mine is the receipt that she can't find. I'm going to order another one tonight, but really disappointed as it isn't what we wanted. I've now used the photo that she has sent me to put on my favours so I'm hoping to get it so it matches.
CommentAuthorIrishbride2be
i really feel for you! such a disgusting way to run a business. if she is telling the truth then being honest and up front from the start would of been the best thing to do and at least you would know where you stand i really hope all this sorts itself out for you xx

I like how she has done the flowers as they have the same colours as how mine will be. Cream roses with pale blue and pink.

The original one might have just got lost in the post - but even before she has posted it it was already a month overdue. But she could have had a lot of orders at one time. I wouldn't recommend her because of my experience, plus also seeing others online have had the same issue. But I do like it and as long as it's arrived I'll be very happy.
