…INSANE. Why are shipping times so long, you are mailing an envelope. My customer service experience is horrible, do not buy from them. Would give 0 stars if I could
Strong complaintRedbubble - Shop original art — Waiting i ordered 70$ worth of stickers back in December and it said that my order was supposed to arrive in January 15-20 it’s February 3 now and still no stickers. Only about a 1/3 of them arrived but i’m still waiting for the rest.
Redbubble - Shop original art — horrible organization bought and placed order nov 25, got shipped out the 29th, was expected between dec 2nd and 8th, it’s the 12th and no word, and it’s for a present next week, it says out and expected for delivery but the tracking number they give doesn’t give you updates as it goes…
Redbubble - Shop original art — Colossal failure for holidays Awful customer service (told me stuff should arrive dec 7-9... on December 10.) never received it and order was placed Nov 27. They aren’t reliable and quality ranges all over the place for prints on T-shirts and for stickers. Disappointing
…d the order never made it. They didn’t even attempt to make it right. Horrible service.
