It was an absolute cautionary tale, and I wish I had known better before wasting my afternoon. My initial problem started online with a frustrating inventory mix-up, forcing me to go into the physical location to resolve the order. However, the in-store experience was so overwhelming that I couldn't even get to the dressing room. Everything felt hectic and disorganized. My conclusion was immediate and definitive:

Best to go when they first open…..

I felt compelled to leave this review and engage with customer service because if they know the store becomes unmanageable at certain times, they need to communicate that clearly to avoid disappointing customers who travel specifically to shop.

Customer: I am extremely frustrated. I drove 45 minutes to your store this afternoon and ended up leaving empty-handed because the place was absolutely packed. I couldn't even properly browse, let alone get service.

CS Rep: I sincerely apologize that your shopping trip was so frustrating, especially after traveling a distance. I understand that the store can get quite busy during peak hours. What time did you visit?

Customer: Around 2 PM. I finally understood why someone wrote, "Best to go when they first open….." I need to know—is that true? Should I only come right at opening if I want a pleasant experience?

CS Rep: We do see lower foot traffic immediately following opening, which allows for a much smoother and focused shopping experience with our staff. If you are planning a return visit, I can check our current hourly traffic trends for your specific location tomorrow morning to confirm the quietest window for you.

Customer: That would be helpful. I just wish I hadn't wasted my time today trying to navigate the chaos. I was looking forward to seeing those beautiful dresses everyone raves about.

CS Rep: I completely understand your disappointment. Let's schedule that specific time for you so we can ensure you receive the attention and service you deserve. We look forward to a better experience for you next time.

The reason I left this review on the website is to hopefully prevent others from falling into the same trap.
