Description
December 2, 2024 I ordered a coat on Wellman Studios online website. Response to order. We're getting your order ready to be shipped. We will notify you when it has been sent. A week later still no tracking information or nothing. I goes to the website to try to find a number to customer service or email no nothing. Website states something went wrong. Even when you google the website nothing shows up but a instagram. Now I’m wondering this company may be fraudulent. No order takes this long and it’s hard to get in contact with help. So I eventually finds a contact number and email on afterpay app. December 14th: I found a email and contact number. I emailed asking ‘Where is my purchase’ and I called no response thinking it’s the weekend store close. A automatic response stated. Your request (112043) has been received and is being reviewed by our support staff. December 16th: I get a response from Kimberly stating Hello ****, Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your order.

Warm regards, Kimberly WellMan Studios Team So After her last email I’m like let me find another way to try to get help with this. December 26 I call customer service and spoke to a live person explaining everything. Representative told me she escalated everything and someone should reach out to me soon. I said I will like to speak with a supervisor. She says ma’am there is nothing more we can do so wait for someone to give you a call. I stated I have reported Wellmans because the website is a fraud right along with the fake employees and company y’all advertising. I said yall stealing people money left and right. The BBB has been informed. Why the representative said ma’am what is the last four digits of your card you place the order with. I said you should have it in your system when you stole my money. I have the last 4 digits and she said your money should be in your account soon it depends on your bank and hung up FAST. Another lie December 26: still no package. I emailed Kimberly again stating. I have not received my refund yet. My order number is Online # 100690606713. I order on December 2nd. Still have not received the item I ordered because, Wellman studio is a fake website. Your so call site or system issues should be resolved by now December 26. REFUND ME MY MONEY NOW!! I have reported Wellman studio fake website to the authorities. Wellman studio is fake advertising men clothing in. I have notify agencies of the scamming this company is doing towards individual to steal money by ordering from your fraudulent website. I will continue to spread the word to other customers every day. I reached back out to Afterpay and went through the steps of filing a complaint of not receiving my purchase. Afterpay found a way to reach there team. Wellman Studios stated my order was delivered per there last update by FedEx. Gave a FedEx tracking number of 282752022706 and all that. I can’t make this up. I goes to FedEx to track the purchase. DELIVERED Tuesday 12/10/24 at 4:59 PM LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got scammed like others. The reviews speaks volume, facts, and same situation they putting every customer thru to not refund us our money because they are fraud. Oh and guess who emails me back with the same lie. KIMBERLY!
