Hello, I want to report www.mooncostumes.com for having EXTREMELY horrible customer service.

On their website it states that they are always checking their website to make sure that everything they have is in-stock.

I thought to myself alright,this is great! A family owned business that keeps tabs on itself.

In my city this year halloween is being celebrated on the Sunday before Halloween. 3 days from now!

So I paid extra to have it here before then.

Then came a suprising blow. My costume came but NOT my daughters.

They never mentioned this to me,and it showed up on the shipping order.But it was crossed out.

I was livid. I called their customer service number several times and also during normal business hours. However, I got no response.

So I emailed them. Below is their responses.

I was shocked and utterly appalled by their business eticate.

They have great costumes, but terrible business manners. _________________________________________ Below is the email that they replied to me. **All personal information has been omitted** ____________________________________________

OK, the new order for the express of the other costume is 330505

It was not sent out because the person who put stuff in the box couldn't find it. But we have it,

We respond to your first inquiry (item not shipped), with the question, "Do you still want it?".  


I will admit, it was a short response.  But an appropriate one.  Many many people respond no to that question.  Many of our orders are time-sensitive and about half the time there is a shipping or stock issue,people say "No, I want a refund"... and sometimes they say "Yes, please send ASAP". 

We need to know the answer to that question... which your initial message didn't provide (deadline,etc).

Your response was to profanely reply "Yes" (I politely summarize here).

We then shipped the item overnight at our expense and responded to you:

"OK, the new order for the express of the other costume is 330505.

It was not sent out because the person who put stuff in the box couldn't find it. But we have it".

We, obviously, didn't charge for the express overnight order, and lost quite a bit of money making sure you got everything in time.   You will find that no other costume company would have done this, especially after the format of your reply.  The rest of them would have issued a refund, or charged you to express it. 

Yes, we're short on words.  But we're long on actions, and I pride myself on having some of the highest ratings in the business (our froogle.com reviews are the highest of any costumer).
