Didn't get the call.........(Rant)

Ugh, I feel an absolute cow for writing this but I am totally ticked off. I ordered my dress about 2 months ago (I think) and was advised that it would come into the shop mid-to-late September. So every day in September I have been rushing to the phone the second I get in on a night to see if there's any messages left. As today is the last day in September I thought "Let's call up the shop and just see if it's come in." I call and guess what...it's sitting right there. Now I'm not trying to sound like a ***** but they told me they would call me the second it came into stock and I have been waiting such a long time for it to come in, god knows how long it's been sitting in there. If it's been there for ages, what if other brides have tried it on Smiley sad I have also been waiting for them to confirm it's come into stock so I can coincide going to pick up the dress with my flowers as they are in the same area and it would save two seperate trips. I'm sorry if this sounds totally stupid it's just they didn't even appologize when they were on the phone, they sounded as though it had been there ages and were waiting for me to call and check up on it. Sorry for the rant...

    Dont apologise for ranting thats what Hitched is here for.

    I would be feeling and thinking exactly the same as you are so dont feel bad. I think its rude of them to not call you. Surely they would realise you'd want them to call you - them being a bridal shop and everything! ?

    The main thing is that it has arrived and you can go and try on YOUR dress!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?

    Thanks Starstruck, they probably had their reasons and I was just so anxious to get it! Now I need to book in a fitting for it, yay!!

    The reason I'm worried about other people trying it on is because the sample for my dress is in a horrible colour and when I decided that it was the one for me they brought the same dress in Ivory so I could see how it would look in my colour. They said I could try it on but I made an excuse about the small size (really I was thinking "No way am I trying on another bride's dress!") That has made me kinda paranoid that they will let other bride's try it on because my dress size is the dress size that most of their samples are in and it's in the ideal colour now so I'm extremely worried! If say I inspect the dress when going for the fitting and I see things like tan smudges on the material or anything horrifying like that is there anything I can do? (Yes I do realise I am now officially overthinking the situation!!!) Smiley laugh

    Same thing happened to me. Was told mid August to Sept, got to late Sept so thought I'd give a call... "Oh it's here!". They didn't say how long - well they wouldn't would they.

    I was annoyed at first, especialyl as they couldn't fit me in for a fitting that weekend. But I soon got over it when I got to finally try it on.

    It's a shame as we hear so many people get the exciting call and we missed that experience.

    You have a right to be annoyed! One thing I've found is that people just want your money but don;t want to give you anything in return. You end up having to chase everyone!

    I'm sure the dress will be lovely and everything will be fine!

    Hi

    Not sure if this will help - but if you have doubts you could just ask them - it would talk a ballsy person to be able to lie straight to your face?
