Nov 10th I ordered some Draperies from Frieda Ross Draperies. I paid a $3500 deposit and I was promised that I would have them by Christmas. About 1 week later I decided the quote was very expensive and I reduced the ordered to less window. Therefore my price went down. Everything was okay and the Draperies were still scheduled for Christmas. I was contacted around three weeks later by ****** she informed me that the Draperies went up an additional $1,000. I didn't understand why. Mind you this company didn't provide me an itemized list of each item with its price I was given a quote with a final total. I was very frustrated by this and just wanted my money back. Christmas came and went and still no Draperies. I contacted ****** the first of January and asked what happened to my Draperies? Feeling frustration because of no communication from this company on the status of my Draperies. I was fed up because this company didn't care if I was satisfied or not. I had my representative call on the 18th of January to get some information and still no Draperies. I just want my money back I'm willing to give them a service fee of $1,000 and the remaining $2500 comes back to me. As of today (2/7/2023) I haven't received a call, Draperies or a dime back. This is very unprofessional and unethical customer serviceBusiness response

BBB, the customer's order was written for $5755.80 on 11/10/22. On 11/11/22, she took off some rooms during the check measure, giving her a new total of $4468.89 on that date. On 11-28-22, she decided to add to her order a total of $869, which gave her a new total of $5337.89. On 12-14-22, she called the store and asked to hold the order due to painting her house and would need the draperies installed after the first of the year. We did cancel your installation for 12-22-22 at this time. After the first of the year, we set a date to install your new drapes for 1-11-23, to which you agreed. The day before installation, you called to cancel the entire order. At that time, we stated this was a custom-made order and non-refundable per the contract you signed on 11-10-22.Customer response

The response had several false comments. I'm willing to compromise by accepting $3500 worth of Draperies. This was my deposit, and I don't want to lose my money. Hopefully the draperies are ready now.Business response
