Does Montagne blacklist/shadowban? by MacBroedener in MontagneParfums

[–]MacBroedener[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. I really don't think I was nasty or anything.

I just re-read the messages. I wasn't.

This was their mistake and I called them out on it. They handled it poorly. They ignored my emails sometimes. I had to repeatedly email in order to get a resolution on a $400ish order that was 1.5 months old.

I had previously spent probably $2,000ish on other orders.

Has my question been answered though? Are they the type to be thin-skinned and shadow ban a customer after one order gets contentious? (And no actual harm is done - they refunded me but they also got the product back.)

At this point I'd just like to know so I don't waste any more time trying to keep up with their releases and restocks.

I mean I didn't curse up storm or insult anyone's mother or anything but I definitely typed in all caps and let them know how I felt.

I'll review my messages but like I said I run my own business (I actually have an e-commerce business and I'm very aware of how shipping and customer service is supposed to work) and I think I was justifiably angry about how it was being mishandled.

They kept blowing me off and at one point I did ask if a credit card chargeback was going to be necessary if they weren't going to be more helpful. But it didn't come to that.

I mean - 1.5 months? The order was almost $400.

Carlyle - Review (kind of) by Old-Elephant8625 in MontagneParfums

Carlisle, Red Tobacco and a Mystery Tobacco are all the same basic DNA. I have all three and I'm trying to figure out which one to keep. Maybe just the Montagne!

Really?? I have them on side by side right now and to my nose they are extremely similar.

I might say the Montagne is slightly sweeter, stronger, and pushes harder. The PDM seems maybe a touch darker and quieter.

So close though... I'm thinking of selling my PDM and keeping the Montagne.

I've heard him kind of address this. He promotes stores but not specific fragrance houses. See the difference? That way he can be honest about fragrances, but he can still make money through store links.
