I purchased an indian outfit (like a dress) from this website. I discussed with them prior to submitting my order how to provide them with my measurements. They explained that I should take certain measurements and that was all they needed to make the outfit. I provided them with the measurements, they were clearly labeled and it said "cm" after each measurement implying centimeter. I am enclosing a copy of my paypal receipt so you can see how it was written:

Dear XXXXX,
This email confirms that you have paid khaas Boutique (khaasboutique@yahoo.com) $159.43 USD using PayPal.

Message: This item will be picked up at New jersey store by XXXXX.

height 5'4", shoulder to apex 44cm, waist to feet 104cm, shoulder 40cm, above bust 90cm, around bust 100cm, below bust 84cm, around waist 90cm, around hips 100cm, armhole 43cm

As you can see all measurements were clearly provided. When I received the outfit it was not even close to the right size. I am small, this outfit was around an extra-large. I discussed this with the store and this was there response (copied from my email):

hi XXXXX,

we apologize for the inconvenience caused to you regarding your outfit. looking at your measurements, i realize what may have happened as far as the sizing is concerned. measurements are always taken in inches and tailors work with measurements taken in inches as well. and your measurements in cms were done in inches with the same numbers you provided.

pls send us back the outfit and we will get a new one made for you.

sincerely,
lakshmi

As you can see the store has without a doubt admitted it made a mistake and made the outfit incorrectly. They go on to say they will "get a new one made for you." They clearly didn't do this, what they did was try to alter the incorrectly made outfit. Of course it didn't work, imagine trying to make an extra-large shirt into a small! I explained to them that this was not a new outfit as promised and that their attempts to alter the outfit was a failure. I asked that they either make a new outfit to the correct specifications as they promised or refund my money. They are refusing to do either. They are now trying to say that it wasn't their fault and the item was made correctly, this is of course an attempt to shift the blame, especially since they already admitted that it was not made correctly.

facts, not lies, foul language and nonsense. incidentally where she comes from, cows do wear clothes!

AUTHOR: Store Manager - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, March 23, 2009

this individual's parents came to pick up the dress at the store, the father said that she didn't know how to take measurements correctly and had left additional room in the measurements; the outfits was made in the exact same measurements we received from this individual. when she received the outfit she said that it was big for her and i told her that if it was our mistake, we will make a new outfit for her. turned out that it was her fault and she had given us the wrong measurements. she wanted the outfit to be altered to her mother's measurements, which we did and after that she approached us asking for her money back. we did not feel that this was appropriate and that we did anything wrong and if it was our mistake, we would've stood by our product and services and did the appropriate thing to make sure that the customer was totally satisfied.

this is the 8th year we have been in business doing custom outfits, we also have a retail boutique in franklin park, new jersey. we do an honest business and if our reputation was that bad, people would see more complaints like this individual's. one lonely nasty comment is not going to break our business. you come across people who lie and people who want freebies all the time but that doesn't mean that people are always going to believe any and every nonsense such people blurt out for their own convenience.

i have copy/pasted the last email communication i had with this individul, which says it all!

From: "Khaas Boutique Team" Add sender to ContactsTo: "jasveer grewal" preeya,

you probably are not reading my emails carefully, the measurements, regardless of whether it is in cms or inches is not the issue here. you did not measure yourself correctly, the reason why the outfit came big. you trying to put words in my mouth saying that i admitted that we were wrong - does not alter the fact that i did not say that it was our fault and that you did not take your measurements right!

as for the rest of the crap you write, it shows who you are.

we will not be making you a new outfit neither will we be refunding your money. we made your outfit initially according to the measurements you send, we altered it according to your mother's measurements the way you wanted, you cannot convince anybody that it is not wearable, unless you damage the outfit again. you can send it to better business bureau and tell them the whole story the way it happened. we will tell them what really happened as well.

this will be the last time i will be responding to any email you might send.
