I ordered several items from this company totaling $67.25 the most expensive being a curtain rod set containing 44"-108" with extender, rings and mounting hardware. This was Dec 27, 2008

Following is the correspondence which transpired. I have not received a usable rod nor was I reimbursed for the rod.

Good day,

I received my order yesterday, but seem to be missing one item. There was no packing slip so I don't know if it is back ordered, shipped separately or what. It just happens to be the most expensive part.

(1) 44" - 108" Curtain Rod - Ribbed Antique @ $19.99 = $19.99

Please let me know what is going on with this. Thanks.

Dear Mr. Charlebois,

I am very disappointed. I received the the Rod today. When I say Rod; that is all I got. No hardware no rings, no extension as advertised on your website and stated on the box.

I am Attaching pictures. It is obvious the box was opened. A paper bag was taped to the end. This was not shipper damage, this was how it was packed. The other box also was wrapped in paper, not how a package is professionally packaged in this day and age. Shippers don't usually allow it. Both packages I received had the name Michelle (no last name on the return label) in case you have a drop shipper or mail room person you want to make accountable.

I would like a refund of my $19.99. If you like, I will send back the pieces and parts of these rods at your expense. This was a paypal transaction and they do ask for feedback on sellers. I would like to be able to tell them we resolved this satisfactorily. I really liked the fabric swatches I received but do not have confidence in your webstore.

All our curtain rods are prepacked by the manufacture on a computerized assembly machine, as you can understand I find it hard to believe the package was shipped incomplete however if there is a problem I thank you for bringing it to my attention and will authorize a return. When we receive the package will will inspect it. if we find fault in the manufacturing we will ship you a replacement at our expense and refund your shipping expense. please feel free to call me a 662 280 0020. We ship 100, s of packages a day, there is nothing wrong with our shipping method, We have a very good customer service record as you already know. please be advised we do not respond to any kind of threats.

Because of this last email I did NOT send back parts or notify Paypal and my 45 day limit is past.
