Negative Reviews

I had a customer order 200 flowers in December for her March wedding. She knew it would take me approx 6 weeks to make 200 flowers for her. 3 weeks after her order she said she wanted to cancel. I told her I had already made 73 and spent many hours and materials making them. She said she will just pay for the 73 and asked for a refund for the rest ONLY if I could get the 73 to her within a few days. I couldn't get them to her by her deadline and gave her a full refund. Well today she gave me a negative review telling buyers NOT TO BUY FROM ME. I am mad! She chose to cancel early and then demanded the 73 by a certain day . She got a full refund. I lost out here and I want her feedback removed! I will accept negative reviews when I'm at fault but I am NOT at fault here! I regret ever selling to her!!!!

Re: Negative Reviews

How do I get in touch with etsy? I want her feedback removed. She can leave negative feedback but to be honest and describe why she's upset. She didn't even describe why she's upset. She just bashed me.

Re: Negative Reviews

Contact Etsy through abuse@etsy.com for this, I think. That's ridiculous.

Re: Negative Reviews

I admit when I'm at fault. The past month I have received about 4 negative reviews for the first time all due to medical issues that put me behind. 2 of the negative reviews I resonded admitting I was at fault. The Customer who left negative review today said in her feedback "read owners reviews, she never admits she's at fault." See, some customers read negative reviews from other customers and assumes the customer is ways right and never considers reading the buyers response to check into the problem to see the issue. Of course not. That's too time consuming. Anyway, the customer sent me a personal message telling me I need to get my sh&t straight if I want to run a successful business. One thing I can't stand is bossy customers who demand from me and threaten me with wanting a refund. Most cases when customers treat me that way and I know I'm not at fault, I always cancel their order and give them a refund instead of dealing with them. That is mainly why I went ahead and gave this customer a full refund. Once she demanded a date from me and already cancelled I gave her the full refund. As of now my turnaround is 1-3 weeks (running around 1 week) except for wholesale orders which take up to 6-8 weeks.

Re: Negative Reviews

Brides can be particularly demanding and demeaning. I would contact Etsy about removing the review, as that sounds pretty much abusive to me. The worst they can do is tell you no. Give it some time, and if they do tell you no, then respond to the review yourself.

Re: Negative Reviews

I feel for you, sorry you have deal with this. I agree with Erin, contact Etsy abuse and let them know everything. I recently contacted Etsy about a review that was basically extortion and they removed it. I did reply to the negative review and they did look at our conversation and determined to remove the review. Be patient when contacting them because they did not reply to me or remove the review until 4 days after I contacted them.
