Kind of the same thing here, though not as bad. Made a first (quite detailed) order for a trouser and a shirt based on an existing pattern with some heavy adjustments (for the trousers) on the 21st of August. Shipped on the 26th of October and received it a few days later. The trousers fabric was simply terrible (https://luxire.com/products/blue-plain-cotton-pants?variant=7545937297463), super shiny and does not feel like lightweight denim at all like its description suggested.
Went on to email Luxire for a month and a half to correct that, for which an understanding has been decided (remake for 50$, no need to send back the existing trousers which have been given out for free in a garage sale a few days ago).
Made the new order on the 5th of December, for which Luxire assured me it wouldn't take long. Since January I get the classic "lots of work, will be done next week" every 10 days or so.
I truly like Luxire's offering but it seems really confusing to see an existing order, supposedly already in production since early January, being delayed by new orders. Especially when that order is a remake caused by a deceptive description made by the company. Shouldn't it be somewhat prioritized to ensure a good customer satisfaction?
I personally am fine about it, though it makes me think twice about ordering again... I don't think any "regular" customer would like to deal with half of that, which means a lost customer forever...
Not posting this to bash on Luxire, but this is clearly alarming for a business and transparency would be much better than the "It will be ready in two weeks" everyone seems to be getting.
Many people complained here that they still wait for their orders placed before Black Friday. My case is slightly different. I am still waiting to get the properly fulfilled order placed ten months ago for a single shirt. No typos here: ten months and a single shirt from in-stock fabric (note: I am Luxire customer since 2016, not just some first-time picky guy who don’t understand the peculiarities of ordering process etc.).
The story:
1. Placed order in March 2018, single shirt, pattern replication, sent shirt to be replicated via pre-paid service.
2. After two months I inquired about the order. The standard response "sorry, lot of work, will be ready soon". Received the shirt in June, and the replication was completely botched up - probably made in great hurry, the shirt was unwearable.
3. Contacted Luxire, attached pictures. Paddy requested to re-send the original shirt and replication so they could make the correction. He promised to prioritize the order and refund the back-shipping. Send the package in July.
4. After two months I inquired about the order. The response style "sorry, it will be ready soon, we didn’t remember, Paddy is no longer working with us" etc. Received the order soon – but the same story, the replication was incorrect again. Luxire blamed the result on some miscommunication, after the exchanging few emails we came to an agreement: re-send the shirt for the third time, it will be either replicated within four weeks or the whole series of orders refunded (it was a very explicit agreement). The package was sent on Nov 13, 2018.
5. No info, no explanations, I contacted Luxire three weeks ago, the standard copy-paste reply "it will be ready in two weeks". I asked "but what about our deal?" – no response to that at all, no further communication. Still not received the order, after over ten weeks, regardless of explicit promise of four weeks.
To sum up: this is not bad consumer service, this is pure grotesque. Something definitely deteriorated in Luxire business last year, and – at least from my experience – it does not seen to be returning back on track. I valued Luxire for its elasticity and good price-quality ratio, but now I am extremely disappointed.
