Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’d like to address the concerns you’ve raised regarding your recent experience with us.
Firstly, regarding shipping delays: Our standard shipping timeframe, as stated on our website, is 15–20 business days. Your order was placed on November 9 and delivered on December 8. The delay was due to high demand during the peak season, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.
As for sizing, you originally ordered size 2X. We make every effort to guide customers through our sizing chart, including a note advising to size up for a more comfortable fit. When you later requested a size 4X, we were happy to assist.
To clarify, we shipped the correct size (2X) according to your order. If the item we sent didn’t match our sizing chart or was incorrect, we would have gladly replaced it at no extra cost. However, as this was not the case, we offered a resolution: for $17, you could receive the replacement items in size 4X while keeping the original 2X items. This was an alternative to the $28 return shipping fee (not $40), saving you both time and effort, it also let you keep all the items.
In summary, we only require $17 to cover the shipping fees for 4X replacement: hoodie, t-shirt, pants and you could keep all the items including the 2X.
Regarding your free tumbler: You’ve already received one tumbler with your first order, and the tumbler from your second order is on its way.
☆☆Updated response:
Here’s the exact offer we presented to you, copied verbatim to demonstrate that we never requested $40 and clearly explained the exchange options:
Option 1: Return for Exchange
You can return the items to exchange them for the correct size. Please note that return shipping costs (around $28) will apply due to international shipping, and this fee is not covered under our policy since the correct size was shipped based on your order.
Once we receive your return (about 25 days), we’ll send the replacement, which may take an additional 15–20 days.
Summary: This option will take about 40–45 days and cost $28 in return fees.
Option 2: Keep Your Items and Get a Replacement
You can keep all the items you received and gift them to your 420 buddies—what an awesome surprise for a friend!
We’ll send the replacement in the size you need, but we kindly ask for a $34 handling fee to cover shipping, taxes, and customs charges.
Summary: You get to keep your items, avoid return shipping fees, and still receive replacements.
We explicitly stated that exchanging the items would incur a $28 return shipping fee, which you can independently verify with USPS or FedEx, and that the process would take approximately 40–45 days. That’s why we recommended Option 2: pay $34, keep all the original items (1 set of T-shirts and pants plus 1 hoodie), and receive the replacements in size 4X.
When you first disagreed with our offer, I responded promptly to your email with the following proposal:
I, Chloe, as the Customer Manager, offered to personally cover half the $34 fee ($17) as a gesture of goodwill.
This offer was made before your Trustpilot review was visible to us. Please don’t assume we offered this solely because of your review. The offer was extended as soon as you replied to us directly.
If you dislike our company or practices, you are free to post a negative review on Trustpilot. However, we kindly ask that your review reflects the actual facts. For example:
1. We never claimed our shipping time is under 20 days. Our website states 15–20 business days.
2. We provided tracking information, but you didn’t check it. Please search for "Dop3Merch" in your spam folder—your tracking email might be there.
3. We never requested $40 for an exchange. We stated that the exchange would cost $28 and take a long time, which is why we suggested the $34 option ($17 later) that allowed you to keep all items and get 4X replacements for 3 items (t-shirt, pants, hoodie).
We hope this clears up any misunderstandings.
