  My son bought me a necklace and bracelet from this company, for Christmas. It was located in the Mall of *** ********* in ********** *** *********. The bracelet broke and the necklace had one of the faux diamonds missing. The store closed at this location. I emailed customer *******@thingsremembered and received an email from a Kellie ******* This is the email...Hello ********, Unfortunately, Things Remembered, as a company, has closed. We are unable to place any orders or issue refunds, including replacement orders. Please dispute the charge with your financial institution..... When I did some research, I found that Things Remembered is now part of the ************* family of brands. I still request a refund for both items.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to  me, if that is indeed what is happening. I could also assume the company is also delaying the process of sending a check until they shut down their last office for good. Then I will have no other recourse. What would be the next step if that is the case?

  Order shipped today for delivery tomorrow.  We have refunded 50% of the order total plus shipping charges.  

  We apologize for this situation.  We are very sorry to have missed Christmas delivery.  

  The severe weather, that impacted most of the country, effected our ability to meet out production commitments.

  I ordered 4 personalized Christmas Stockings in velvet 2 green 2 red. They were just delivered by UPS. Now i never had a problem or issue from UPS with any thing I ordered from any site before. Clothes especially. My ******** fleece jacket was delivered at the same time as this package. Your package was double sealed in plastic. After i opened one stocking it REEKED of cigarettes. Reeked!!!!!!!!!! I opened the others. All REEKED !!!!!!! The inside bag reeked each stocking reeked. I had to seal the bag and put outside. I called your customer service right away to tell them. Right away the agent blamed ups. Would not listen to me and tried to just shut me down. I asked for a Supervisor and after 4 asks she would NOT get on the phone. The agent told me she stated it was UPS and not you “because you are a smoke free environment”. Which is not true. Cause they reek from inside the plastic shipping bag and the sealable bags inside shipping bag. The rudeness of your employees and uncaring is so unacceptable and extremely disrespectful. I have stated earlier i have ups deliver to constantly. You i had shipped this once. How awful for you that you just lost a customer. There are people smoking in your facility. This is NOT a question. Its a fact!! Maybe its at the personalized sewing site. But this was unacceptable to send these out to me smelling and reeking of cigarettes. Disgraceful!! I want a refund and you can send a shipping back to you label to me free of charge. Really a shame because they were beautiful. But your staff is not and neither is your management. I will never order again as stated. Have never ever had this happen before at any site.

  I purchased an engraved plate in person at one of their stores. Afterwards I was put on a mailing list and have been bombarded with continuous advertisements and emails. Regardless of how many times I ‘unsubscribe’, though I’ve never subscribed, they persist. It notes it can take up to 10 days to be removed, yet it’s been 3 months and it’s maddening. There has to be enforcement for not letting people opt out of your advertising!

  We apologize for this! I have forwarded this customer's email, etc. to be removed from all databases ASAP.

  If this continues after 72 hours, please contact me directly.

  Again, We are sorry the problem with your "remove me" requests.
