Order placed August 13, 2009 for some microfiber towels. Credit card charged on September 16, 2009. Here are the emails between DF Towel and I, where I try to find the status of my order. I end up cancellng my order, but haven't received a refund yet.

We'll check at the warehouse in the morning but based on the date of your order it should be shipping any day now.

I did ask the shipping dept. to check on it and get back to you. I'll check with them in the morning and see what happened, you should have gotten this long ago!

I apologize for the late reply to your email as I was traveling and only just returned. I am personally looking into your order and will report back to you shortly. A few months ago we moved all our warehousing and shipping to an outside warehouse who performed very poorly. About 80% of all orders shipped in a timely manner but the remaining were either totally ignored or were marked as shipped in the system but never were. I fear your order was one of the 20%. We've moved our shipping back in house but it's taking a little while to catch up on all the errors committed by this independent shipper.



Again, I apologize for the inconvenience and, I promise, you will hear back from me very shortly.

Leo,



You didn't follow up with me. Did you get a chance to check the status of my order? Was it shipped?

Leo,



You have not followed up with me once, even though you have stated that you would 3 times. It has almost been over 2 months and not only do I not have any products but I can't even find out the status of my order. Please cancel my order and refund the charge that was placed on my credit card a month ago.

Sorry, I have no excuse to give you... only apologies. I asked the shipping dept. to look into your order and get back to you and to cc me the info. I don't see where this was ever done.



I'll cancel the order right away.

Will you please follow up to one of my emails? I'm not sure what kind of business you run, but the customer service needs a lot of work. I have not received a refund for my order. Please refund my credit card so I can be done with this.

I take your lack of a response that you have no intention of refunding my money. I have not received any products yet I'm still out of money.

I did not receive any response from DF Towel after October 15 (the day I cancelled the order). My credit card has not been refunded either. I also called DF Towel at 866-DFTOWEL and left a message with my phone number, but haven’t received a call back.



This has been a horrible experience with this company, especially their customer service. I was very patient and gave them plenty of time to deliver, which they didn’t. To make things worse they didn’t even follow up to give me some kind of update, even though they kept telling me that they would follow up.



BEWARE OF DF TOWEL!
 
There was another person who had terrible service with them about a year ago. Pakshak was recommended over DF Towel. I have not ordered from either of them, so I cannot speak personally about either company, just what was posted here from other members.
 
Call your credit card company, explain the situation, and ask them to credit your account; but do so quickly. It's been many years since I had to resort to this measure, but if I recall correctly, there may be a time limit, after which the credit card company will not intervene. I'm not sure about that, though.
 
....you have a lot of patience. I would have cancelled the order long ago and disputed the charges with the CC company.
 
Thanks for making us aware of this situation. I hope you eventually get your money back.

They just lost another (potential) customer. :)
 
Yeah, I wish you would have read that other thread before you ordered.



Too bad. I wish you the best in the collection of your funds.
 
this has been discussed before with many others having the same problem. i don't care how good (if they even are) their towels are, i won't support a person/company that practices this kind of BS. there are other places that are more deserving...
 
DF Towel Leo is a scumbag who doesnt return e mails or calls. I get his e mails about the car shows he entered with his Lincoln. He is done and over with and your right is towels are not so good.
 
I can't believe this guy is still in business. How pathetic. Has he ever done anything that gives him a good reputation. All I read is bad news.
 
Thanks for all the feedback. I was very patient (maybe to a fault), but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. That only goes so far, everyone has their limit. I have contacted my CC and will begin the dispute process. :angry

High time to collect them all in one place, or maybe we need a sticky listing companies to stay away from.

some companies/individuals are so quick to take your hard earned $'s, but won't deliver the goods that were bought/sold (i can't say enough about good customer service these days). this type of behavior really angers me. hurt a business where it matters the most, the pocketbook. no customers = no business
 
Sorry to the OP, but thanks for posting this - companies such as this will never have the opportunity to earn my business.
