Just wanted to give you all a heads up on sending gifts.
I got an email from flamingo services provided through fiance.com
saying my order was compleate meaning she got the gifts.So I called her a few days later and we spoke for awhile and Im thinking why hasnt she said thank you? So I asked her did you like your gifts? she said what gifts?
I kind of felt like an ass and even if these companies make it right I will have some distrust in the future and it ruiend the whole surprise
for her.Why would they email me saying order complete when it was a lie.
somebodys making money!
I could be wrong guys, but I am pretty sure that Fiance.com and Flamingo are all part of the same "Russians-service" group !! But as I say, I could have the wrong end of the stick, its happened before you know ;o) Thats why Im voicing it as a question rather than stating it outright :o))
Too often have I opened my mouth, only to have to change feet !! ;o))
Looks like I may be right:
www.russianservice.com is who you pay for
www.fiance.com through, and www.russianservice.com invoice their gift and flower sending as www.flamingo-gifts.com or Eleview International Inc,
GLTALLTOAD is correct. we fiance.com will investigate any order problem. here is the place for probelm resolution - customer service:)
eleview international owns and runs fiance.com and russianservice.com
read about us on fiance.com
provider didnt scam anybody. we sent reminder to our clients about the holidays. we have 24 by 7 customer service to find out on any problem.. email, use online chat with the customer service, call ... flamingo service has been providing flowers and gifts delivery in former ussr and worldwide since 1998. we were the first company who delivered to any location in Russia. thousands of clients from inside and outside the former ussr use flamingo. a number of dating sites process orders via us. one of the dating sites is fiance.com
michaelbutler, contact customer service about your order. if order is DONE it means it is delivered. if there is a problem it will be investigated and your concerns will be satisfied.. again forum is not the place for customer service related questions.
read about flamingo on this forum. make search on the flower gift keywords, or march 8 . so you may get more confident about our services.
They are looking into it for me but should have never sent an email claiming it was receaved by my girl.I have no hard feelings against any of these companies as long as they make it right.For all I know the delivery guy could be the blame? Im not pointing any fingers as long as they make it right,I want her to get her gifts and would like to send her more in the future so we will see how it goes.TimH thanks for your help in this matter as well as others.Have any of you ever sent letters or gifts by postal mail? and were they receaved by your girl? thanks
well, email is sent to you when order is done. in case of fiance.com there could be a glitch - instead of making in progress, administrator clicked DONE, as he transferred order to flamingo. anyway, we will know when people start working in that city.
Lets just drop the subject because I dont want to upset anyone as I enjoy being a member.I was just upset angry and embarrassed Im sure you can understand.I never said I was scammed or pointed any blame on anyone.I think Fiance.com is a great service and they are looking into this for me and I am sure it will all be resolved so good enough
for me!
Yes many times to my X in Uzbekistan when we were together, and I have sent things by normal airmail to Natasha, the girl I am going to see in 10 days :o)) woooooo hooooo ;o))
Everything has always arrived intact. Sometimes it may take anything up to and occasionally over 2 weeks from the UK to any FSU city, but so far "touch wood" the only package thats ever gone missing was some Cadbury`s cream eggs and a card with a couple of photos that I sent to my adopted Ukrainian sister, but when sending to the Ukraine its not unknown for parcels to just vanish !!
I have been told by Sis`, and by others there, that often parcels get stolen by postal and customs workers, if they have a use for, or like the look of the contents !!
If you want to send to Ukraine they suggest either via a service like Flamingo, or by Fed Ex or similar carrier who will ensure delivery and receipt of a signature for the goods.
I know once a parcel leaves the UK our UK postal service don't give a f*ck what happens to it, they don't ask for confirmation of delivery or even provide us with the opportunity to have said service, and couldn't care less whether it ever arrives or not !! But then they wouldn't coz they have our money !! And what can we do about it ?
Zip !!
Big companies really get on my Tits, they think just because they are big they can treat their customers like dirt !! Well not me they don't !!!!
There ya go Jet, wouldn't want to spoil your day and have you miss one of my rants ;o))
Night all, ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz time for TIMMY !!!! ;o)
Personally I dont think you over reacted Michael, you just asked us what we could advise to help you, no harm done whatsoever :o))
I mean, its not like you hit the forum with wild allegations of fiance.com ripping you off now is it !!!
You asked some polite and important questions to help guide you thats all, now chill out and stop appologising for something you havnt done wrong !!
Here ..... have a pull on this ;o)--~~~~
Thats what the forum is for after all, to help each other in times of stress and to get as drunk as we can when one of us gets a result and brings back a fine girlie :o)
Hey Tim - Go to bed!!
Ya need your beauty rest...maybe.
Of course I could sleep till Y3K and it wouldn't improve this mug (nor would it make it any worse I guess).
