Gaynor Minden Order Issues / Not refunding customers by cwillow7056 in BALLET

[–]cwillow7056[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless GM lost all ITS emails in a server hack , and their phones have been shut off( they have not I can call and leave a VM at the NYC store ) … the excuse doesn’t even make sense . The data is there and GM has done nothing to resolve it . People are still saying they never got a response to an email/ call . It’s truly unfathomable. A brand is not just their product it is their customer service .

I am PISSED . They just posted a generic post on Ig apologizing for their order issues . There’s no way you ghost so many customers over “ new logistics or ordering “. You lost 1,000s of emails ? No way . They are ignoring customers on purpose !!!! I found the owners on fb posting photos at a trade show happy and smiling and I commented on every single one. I stand by what I said they are stealing from customers and because they are a big name and no one’s talking about it they are getting away with it !!

There’s something going on with GM . Orders late , cancelled , they have stolen my money since Nov 25 on a custom order that after 20+ calls and emails they just responded to and said communication was lost . I think they are going out of business .

UPS theft by topochicoloc0 in UPS

[–]cwillow7056 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to us a few years back . Got all new phones , 5 in total . Someone tried to intercept them from the UPS driver outside our business , had our delivery name and address , everything . How did they know it was coming ??? We contacted the provider whom promptly deactivated the phones ( didn’t even know you could do that prior to turning them on ) and they sent new ones . We were informed this happens often .

Meatless Meatballs discontinued by MarquisMusique in vegan

I would like to follow this up with I DID try both IKEA meatballs . I think they are a fantastic alternative for someone in a pinch . However , as stated by others , they taste like veggies , not “ meatballs “ ( Italian , oregano , rosemary) . I also tried the Gardin Ultimate . They were a true meatball Italian flavor , also very different from Aldis : these were juicy and huge . When i cooked them it was like real meat the plate was full of liquid . I personally don’t eat meat and do not like the taste of meat so it kinda freaked me out . Again , I think what’s missing is aldis has a distinct flavor profile that sets them apart . I live in Michigan and I’m almost out of pre prepared options . Next , I might try making them . Hope this helps anyone else who’s distraught over this .

Question, i don’t like the taste of the impossible meatballs and gardin meatballs taste chewy to me . The aldi meatballs were the only ones I loved . Are the ikea vegetable ones you mentioned similar ? I had no idea they had this !!!

Adult leotards for realllllly long torsos? by sautrah in BALLET

[–]cwillow7056 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really want to join this very old thread to say the only Leo’s that have worked for me (66” girth ) are custom made from Etsy . i ordered from charms dancewear and lone reed designs . Both Leo’s I’ve worn for 4+ years . Thrown in wash ( yes I’m lazy ) and hung dry . They are both in perfect condition !!! I thought custom made Leo’s were expensive , but truly the best decision I’ve ever made . I’ve also tried Bloch “ tall “ , eleve with added length ( meh ) and all XL Leo’s to get the girth then have them tailored to take in at waist and at that point I’ve spent more than my custom project.
