    We apologize for the disappointing experience the customer has had with the delivery of their order. The estimated delivery dates given on our website are the dates given to us by the carriers. We always use the word estimated for delivery dates because the carriers do not guarantee the delivery dates, they are simply estimates. **** has an on-time delivery rate of 93% so unfortunately there will be some customers who receive packages later than expected. We have taken steps on our end to mitigate this as much as possible. We will offer to refund the customer the $12.50 difference in the shipping rates. Even though the package arrived later than expected it arrived 2-3 days earlier than the economy shipping option. We do not bait and switch customers. We do business honestly and ethically.

    I bought a christmas tree and I tryed to take it back but they said I had it for over 5 weeks (in a box) I did set it up when they told me I could not take it back. We used it 3.5 weeks all the ruber bands are broken this tree cost $400. We have done other business with this company with buying our lights. We were happy with the lights

    I have researched the customer's orders.  The customer also chatted us about this tree on 11/28 asking about a tree she purchased from us on 10/3.  We have no records of a tree being purchased by her on 10/3.  The customer did purchase 4 light show trees on 2 different orders on 11//22 and the customer returned all four of those trees and has been refunded for them. The refund was processed on 12/8.  If the customer can provide the order number for the tree they purchased on 10/3 then we can revisit the return.

    I bought a bunch of lights from this company on 11/25 in the am. Approximately 30 minutes later I called to cancel. My wife explained to me they were the wrong lights. The lights were not to ship for 6 days from the order date. We were told you couldnt cancel the order. That it would ship and then we could return.We shipped the product back within days of receiving it. Upon the return we received $1576.58 of the $1857.40 that I paid. I contacted them for the rest. They said that there is a 10% restock fee plus no credit for original shipping. Further, they said you can only cancel within 5 minutes of the order being placed. I am seeking a credit on the full amount. I should not be penalized for your system limitations or whatever the reason is you could not accept my call 30 min after the order. The order was 2222108.Thanks.

    As stated on our website, customers have 5 minutes to contact us to cancel the order. As stated by the customer they contacted us 30 minutes after the order was placed.  Our return policy, which is also stated on our website, says that the customer is responsible for shipping both ways.  That means we do not refund original shipping and the customer is responsible for return shipping.  We did not actually charge this customer the a 10% restocking fee, we provided return labels to the customer at a cost of $10 per label which is cheaper for the customer.  The refund was done correctly.
