Bad Experience Buying a Dress

Ladies I don't want to bad mouth anyone, I just want everyone to be careful. Your wedding should be a great happy moment, I was not so lucky. I went to the bridal suite in Centereach (that's the name) and they sold me a dress and I paid for it in full I have a receipt stating I paid for the dress and it had a zero balance. I paid in cash because their policy was that the final payment should be cash. I sent someone to pick up the dress and the management over there told them no because there was still a balance. I called them and asked what happened, and they told me there was an internal error in the addition and that I owed and additional 150.00 on top of the 1300.00 I already paid. They were very stern in telling me that they would not release the dress until the balance was paid and there was noting I could do. I was stuck because here I was 5 days before the wedding and no dress so I had to eat the fee even though I had a reciept stating it was paid in full already. I just want people to be careful if you go there. They didn't offer an apology or comfort and 5 days before your wedding it's just not a nice feeling.

Definitey do that!

Did they even notify you that there was an error and that there was now a balance? Did you have a fitting before the pick up, why didn't they tell you then?

That's completely unacceptable. You need to write a letter to the owner and BBB detailing all interactions with them.

So sorry you had to go through this.

ETA: ohhh didn't notice the date....Shame on you

I don't think she is a I think she is probably someone who just had a bad experience with a place and wants people to be careful.

usually speak highly of themselves i find....

I am sure that is not her wedding date either....
