I was one of the very first customers of Claire's Bowtique before she started to get large. She informed me that all her item turn around times are 5 days. I place my first order on March 19th & 2 weeks later I still did not have my order. Some of the items were needed for Easter so I contacted the owner Amiee after she claimed on her facebook store page that all items were sent out. She told me that she would meet me (we live an hour from each other). I had already paid shipping for my items, but still met Amiee 1 hour from my home. I didn't look through the items, but just trusted her. When I arrived home...I quickly realized I was missing several items, & several items were wrong or not at all what I ordered. It took me over an hour to go through my orders on the computer to see what I was missing.
About a week later Amiee offered a gift card for $25 and claimed you would get $80 in merchandise. A week after that I bought into the bow of the month club for $25 which meant that I would get one bow for the next 12 months. I never received one bow.
Amiee also decided to run a fundraiser for a friend of mine. My friends 3 mos. old baby was in the hospital & ill. Amiee offered to run a benefit and claimed that she would sell $80 gift cards for $25 and that $10 of ea sale would go towards the baby. She sold a countless number of these gift cards. She told me she would send me a check so I could send it out with the care package for baby K. I waited and waited and the check never came. A week later Amiee didn't even ask me, but started running the same benefit over again and made a lot more money. When that ended I waited for the check, it never came. A week later she started running the benefit again and by this time I was growing impatient and was wondering if she was a scam. Sadly Baby K ended up passing away before I could send out the care package. I was very angry with Claire's Bowtique by this point and told her that she had BETTER send out the money raised for the family to help with funeral expenses. She told me that she sent the check to me that afternoon. Later she claimed she sent the check directly to the family. I told her that I had had enough and she better pray the family receives the check. The family did end up receiving a check, but definately not for the amount that was actually raised. And to top it all off....everyone that bought the $80 gift cards for $25 didn't receive any of their merchandise.
Luckily for me, I demanded a refund through paypal before the 30 day window was up. Others are not so lucky. She is now telling her customers that the average wait is 4-5 weeks so by the time they realize she is a scam, it is too late to request a refund through paypal because it has to be filed within 30 days. Customers have waited 8-9 weeks sometimes before filing a complaint. It is beyond me how she has gotten away with this for so long! She deletes any negative comments you put on her facebook page to warn other customers, she deletes you from her fans so you can't comment, she claims every 2 seconds that she has an attorney and is building a case against all of us for slander. I hate to tell her that it is NOT slander when it is the truth! I'm terribly sorry for everyone who was ripped off by her, and I'm not sure what it will take before someone shuts her business down!

She Scammed Me too!!
AUTHOR: Kelly - (United States of America)

She just downright refused to even check if she had made my items, she refused to send anything, and she refused a refund. She knew that the 45 days had passed for me to file a complaint with PayPal so she didn't even care. After awhile she deleted her facebook page and changed her e-mail so I had no way to contact her. She has scammed soooo many people but will not take responsibility for it.
To Aimee: If you spent half as much time actually trying to make your customers happy as you do making up excuses you wouldn't be in this position. I have been selling handmade items for 3 years on-line and have never done to anyone what you did to me and so many other people. You should be ashamed of stealing from people and not caring about it. Hope
this isn't the kind of example you will set for your children.

Here is Angie's outburst when I confronted her on emailing my customers to get business. She keeps claiming all these people and there are just you three who are FRIENDS and posting to support each other. No one has ever been ripped off and this website is rediculous seeing as how you have no proof! Pic one is her outlash email sayiing she was going to kick my a** (mind you this is a mother of 7 and a business women) using such violence and language I wonder what happens when her kids act up. The 2nd photo is a photo of her daughter wearing a haribow that I donated to the baby she was refering too. She decided since the baby had sadly passed she could keep the donations. I sent her 3-4 hairbows and a pack of stick on bows which btw she says are junk but if you see her page and her copy minnie tutu set with the crapy lopsided head you can see she uses one of the bows on the minnie head she stated were junk. You can also compare the dates as some of her :"friends" that "liked" the photo after checking the dates and contacteing me realized she was lying and she has in fact never never ordered that from me since I released it AFTER she stopped shopping with me. She was using this to seem so odvious in her copy attempt. Lastly Mrs. Angie has has volunteralily un provoked sent tons of emails slandering me and as soon as I get every email from her printed it has already been verified that I have enough to file charges. Goof thing I just filled up my printer ink. I have every email and all my records for the donation that she says I didnt not do correctly when all that comes out I will be posting what I can from my files as per police permission if allowed. Have a nice day
Jealousy is not the best policy. Honesty, however, is.
