UPDATE 5/28:Freaking out about my gown!!

Girls,

I just called my Bridal Salon to get the exact date of delivery for my gown. They tell me it will ship out at the end of June??!!!!

When I freaked about how close that is to my wedding day, they said 'well I'm surprised it's even getting here that soon....you only ordered it in February. We didn't even charge you a rush fee. I ordered my gown in . February, 2008

So it has taken over a year....and it's still NOT in??!!!! They nearly choked when I told them it was ordered in 2008, not 2009. So now they have to put a rush on it.

I hear horror stories about this place all the time (which I wish I knew beforehand). Should I try to get some credit for my stress, or free alterations?

I mean I am up not cheap and so not a 'girly' girl or 'bridezilla'. But this is just incompetency to the MAXIMUM!

AGHHHH....sorry I needed to vent.

So sorry this is happening to you. Its a good thing you followed up with them. They must have held your order--i cant stand places that do that!!

Re: Freaking out about my gown!!

Yeah I guess...I'm just pissed b/c I called like 2 months after I told them to order to confirm that the order had been placed. So this seems fishy to me!

Re: Freaking out about my gown!!

Omg that is crazy, you ordered it in 2008. unacceptable

Re: Freaking out about my gown!!

It's just so strange to me. I called like 2 months after I ordered it to confirm the order had been placed. So it's not like they held the order or anything.

Re: Freaking out about my gown!!

OMG i would freak the F out!!!!!
i would try to get something out of it!!!!
they defintily messed up somewhere, it has to be! you ordered it over a year ago, it should have been in last June.
Try calling again, when your calm, maybe the person on the phone made a mistake? maybe she saw February, thought Feb 09, and didnt even bother looking to see if it came in?? i dont know!
but i hope everything works out for you!

Wedding gowns have a miraculous way of showing up quickly when needed. I'm sure you'll get it in on time. Try not to stress too much!

Re: Freaking out about my gown!!

Yeah, don't stress. Go over there is person, calmly, and try to speak to someone who knows what is going on. Alot of times they have these nitwits who answer the phone and they don't have a clue about orders.

Re: Freaking out about my gown!!

that *****.. i would definitely try to get something out of it. free alterations would be nice. it is a mistake on their end and they need to do something to fix it or at least make up for it.

Re: Freaking out about my gown!!

OUCH - Feb 2008!! I think someone didn't do their job over there! I was going to say, I was in the same position as you - I kind of am, my dress is coming in the 2nd week of june but I ordered it in Feb 2009.
I would try to get something from it - free alterations sound fair. Call another store and see how long that dress takes to come in so you can see if they are lying to you or not and use that info to get them to do something.
When did they say it would come in when you ordered it?
