Potential partial refund in review

Original review Aug 27, 2019

I ordered lanyards and badge holders with this company and used their specs to print my own name cards. When the holders arrived they were the wrong size and the name cards didn't fit in them.

When I reached out to them they took forever to get back to me saying they were looking for a larger badge holder. They didn't seem to understand that the specs they are giving people on their website are wrong and they wouldn't give me refund in the amount that would cover my name card reprint. They only wanted to give me back the cost of the badge holders. They offered to reprint my cards for me but then didn't understand my printing instructions and took awhile getting back to me when they knew the deadline for my event.

When they did get back they wanted to extend the date of delivery (past my event date). Then I decided to just reprint the cards with my trusted local printer.

I asked for the refund they originally offered and am waiting to hear back. I will never recommend or use this company again.

Poor policies and fake google reviews

I placed the order on April 11 and try to cancel it on April 12. I was told that it was introduction and to cancel it they would still charge me half of my order price.

There is nowhere on their website stated. On their website it says 100% guaranteed. What is lanyards or not to be delivered until May 1. Very bad business Practices.

On their website they have fake Google reviews.

The real Google reviews tell the real story. Beware !

NEVER AGAIN NO MORE.

I purchased 100 lanyards for my school's homecoming. I went through 4 days of arguing back and forth with Customer Service.

They kept sending approval emails and then told me they could not do the design I upload AFTER I spoke with a Customer Service rep who told me they could.When I asked to speak with a Supervisor or Manager, I was told they did not have a Supervisor or a Manager and was transferred to another agent when they did not feel like talking to me anymore. When I received the lanyards they were cheep looking. I ordered extra length that wasn't there.

This was truly a waste of money. I tried to leave this on their site but when I asked how to do so, the rep stated I have to place another order on the site in order to go on the page to do so.This has got to be the worst purchase we have had to date.

HORRIBLE AND MY HONEST REVIEW

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have waited from the 6th of Aug to preview my order...I was told and promised by several managers that this would be done and I will have it by the 15th which is today!...I have been calling and calling and no one is able to help me.I explained to this company that I NEVER pay without seeing what I am paying for!!!..NEVER!!..I did it this time and look what happened.No order never shipped by today and received by today,no preview,no phone call....NOTHING!!...I am going to file a compliant with my bank by tomorrow if I don't receive my funds that I paid entirely for with the order.I will also file a compliant with the BBB for the lack of customer service skills by everyone!..Lack of empathy,broken promises,and took my money without delivering the goods!!

I sent this to my bank on the 15th of August and still no refund from this company!I filed a complaint with my bank and will be posting my horrible experience online for everyone to see how this company is very unprofessional!..Take my advice...NEVER PAY FOR SOMETHING WITHOUT GETTING THE GOODS FIRST!!I have spoken with Lulu,Martin and Victor,among several others and no one is still responding to my calls!

Poor Customer Service and Defective Products

We are a public school. We ordered 1000 lanyards over the summer which were to be given to students to hold earned reward badges at the end of our first grading period.

The lanyards were ordered with a lobster claw attachment to hold the badges. As we attempted to use the lanyards, about 40% of the lobster claw clips broke immediately. During the next two days, dozens of students reported that their clip had also broken. When we contacted the company, we were told that there was nothing they could do since it had been three months since we ordered the lanyards.

I even sent them a picture of obviously unused lanyards with broken clips.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY. They are selling defective/ inferior products.

DO NOT USE CUSTOMLANYARD.NET!!!

I ordered 140 lanyards and 80 of them were printed crooked and they refused to reprint them or give me a refund for their less than satisfactory printing job! I would be embarrased to use them they look that bad.

When I called to fix the order, the customer service employees just wanted to argue with me about how the product looked 'perfect' to them after I sent them pictures. They were trying to blame their poor printing job on the shipping material it was packaged in... what?! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY because they do not stand behind their products and will not get your money back if they make a mistake!

I would include pictures of my order if I could so you could see the quality this company produces.

Save your money!!! This company is horrible to do business with!

They cant get your order right & when you complain they do nothing about it.

I received lanyards with stickers on them...NOT WHAT I ORDERED! $225 for garbage!

Guest

Ordered just a few Lanyards for a small event. Ordering was easy.

I paid extra for a rush order. I was giving a tracking number but item was delivered to their office, their process on orders smaller than 100. The problem is my order sat in their office for 2 days before they reshipped it to me with no tracking. It arrived 3 days late.

Product was ok, what I expected for the price.

I contacted them about receiving a refund for the expedited shipping I paid for. All I received was "I apologise are for the troubles caused to you"

Guest

IF you MUST use this company, do yourself the favor of not giving them your credit card info until it is time to finalize order by approving a proof that they'll send to you. Was the only thing that saved me from them charging for a 2nd order I placed by accident (which would have left me with 1000 extra lanyards and $1,200 poorer

Guest

Its very irritating to me that this company has a physical address in Texas yet the people answering the phones are likely not born and raised in the US. Not prejudice but for the few items that I can find that are still made in America, I like to support our economy vs throwing $ at China.

Guest

Yes, ordered through a on-line phone database into Texas from India before being made --- cheaply as I hear --- from China. The whole point of these lanyards is marketing. I hope they don't look like caca

Guest

So your experiences with this new company have been good? I think they make up the rules as they go.

They didn't try charging me a $10 cancellation fee when I accidentally placed two orders through their website, but I had to full on argue to get the order cancelled.

I'm sure the only reason they gave in was because I hadn't yet given them my credit card info. Hah, hah!

Guest

May I ask what company you use now and if you've had good experiences with them thus far. This last company I used had a well laid out website.

Hope the lanyards look nice or the complement about the website (which isn't exceptional --- early good) will be the only positive thing I can say about this company. Sad.

Im waiting on an order for a much larger quantity of lanyards & I don't intend on using this company again unless they are perfect AND I can reorder over the phone. For one, they confuse the *** out of you.

Very easy to place the order on-line. Then the difficulties begin:

- A representative (an Indian many named Jones e-mailed me saying they tried calling me by phone --- but I know they didn't) and that if I did not return the call within 1-2 hours or approve the proof on-line in the same period of time, they'll process it without your input! Ridiculous! Yes I ordered the 2-day service but I want it done right before anything else.

At one point I blundered and actually placed 2 orders for the same thing. Why? Because of the business akas as shown on e-mails and/or when you click on links to view the order or the invoice keep you confused. They seem redundant, but you don't know if they are or not.

I couldn't even tell if the 2nd order was indeed placed with them or another company it was so confusing. After ruling-out two other websites I looked at the night before and realized CustomLanyard,net was the company I used, I called to cancel the extra order. The man I spoke to agreed to but said, "do you mind if I ask why you are canceling your order." When I explained it to him that I placed multiple orders by mistake and didn't know which of the 3 websites the order may have come from, he did a complete 180 and changed his mind about the refund. He said the order will be processed as-is and my credit card payment processed!

It was for a $1,300 order, mind you, an amount not considered much by some people but certainly to a small business person as myself. The call ended with me upset and I ended it by telling him, "...you can not hold my money hostage. I'll be calling my credit card company to block the charge." Instead I first decided to get a rational person on the phone for a quicker resolution. That man saw the duplicate orders, cancelled the extra one without issue, and I was very pleased.

I spoke to that man yesterday. Today, I get a phone call at 6:30AM that went to voicemail. Same message as from the one who called him Jones. I believe it was the same voice as well.

Only this time his name was Victor (make from that what you will). It was the same person who e-mailed me previously about his supposed 2 hour window and placed that first call. I called the company to AGAIN ask them to check my order, make sure there was no other orders of any kind and if there were, to please delete them. Guess who's voice answered the phone: Mr Jones, aka Victor (they apparently don't have a big operation of people answering the phones to get the same person so easily.

I explained the situation I had earlier (with him, but not giving names). When he started with the runaround spin, I asked "Were you the one I spoke to about that? We're you the one that first cancelled my order only to change your mind and process it, adding there was nothing I could do? He didn't answer my questions, but only calmly said "There were no other orders."

For me, the Jury is out on this one as to whether I'd use them again.

It would have to be as simple a process as letting me call to order "the exact same thing as last time," or something similarly simple on-line. What I do know is that Jones/Victor was rude, defiant, and didn't give a *** about his customer.

Would I create a whole new thing that I haven't previously ordered to give them a 2nd chance? Right now, absolutely not. My advise is to play it safe and go somewhere else.

Companies better than this are easy to find on-line.

I'm telling you one thing: my lanyards better be PERFECT after this extraordinary amount of time and effort wasted. So, the following

I placed an order but had to cancel it the same day because changes had to be made to our logo, and I intended on placing the order later...no problem except under their FAQs, it says no fees for cancellations done pre-production, yet they charged me $10! They said it's under their "policies", which it is, but if this outfit were concerned about customer svc, they would have abided by what they had on their site under FAQs.

Fortunately paypal refunded me the $10 based on their website. Also, most reputable companies send free samples. There is prob a reason these folks don't! They wanted me to pay $6 for a sample of a .57 item.

I suggested they just stick it in an envelope with a stamp, but they still wanted the $6! I had many conversations back and forth over these issues and they were incredibly rude and didn't give a hoot about customer satisfaction.

They definitely have the cheapest prices on lanyards, but I'll pay double rather than go with these folks. Try everydaylanyards.com - they have comparable pricing.
