Philosophy's Customer Service

sheellah...
The problem is there really isn't any. For a company to present
themselves as one who really cares about it's customers, let me tell
you, they really don't. I've used Amazing Grace for over 3 years, and
had bought an extra bottle that I put away for several months. It was
stored in the box, in a cool place and when I went to open it it had
changed. It just didn't smell the same way. I called Philosophy, and
they basically said tough luck. I was told I had 2 months to decide if
I liked a product and and whether it was defective of not. I explained
I was a loyal user and loved the product, and that a quality fragrance
should go bad in that time. It should at least be good for a year or
two. I had just wanted to exchange it for a good bottle.

The rep went and spoke to her supervisor, and then came back to tell me
the same thing. I'm incredulous that a company would treat a loyal user
this way, and even when they see how upset I was. This was even after I
told them I've used this product for 3 years. I was to again told too
bad. I even said I was posting this online and they didn't care. I've
never encountered such callousness before. If you call any major
cosmetic company they will bend over backwards to make the sure things
are made right for their customer, especially one that ihas been loyal
to their products.

I had also called them before about the use of parabens in their
Complete Me foundation and they never bothered a returning my call.
Philosophy's REAL philosophy is that we have your money and too bad if
our product didn't perform. What phoniness when they present themselves
as a company that cares!

That's really rotten, Sheellah. I don't blame you for being upset. I
wouldn't expect those products to go off in such a short time -- I've bought
Cinnamon Buns to keep in my "hostess gift" box and never think a thing of
giving it away after a few months.
