Nilima Inc.

Review: I placed an order (Order [redacted]) on April 11th on an item that specifies shipping in 24 hours or less. It has been 18 days and despite two phone calls to customer service, there has been no delivery. The item is a pregnancy pillow for which I have had great immediate need and I am now in an enormous amount of discomfort. I am deeply disappointed with Nilima's poor service.

Review: I ordered a rug on February 28 2014 for a total cost of 299.17. Within 24 hours I contacted Nilima to find out the status of the order and was advised it was back ordered 5 weeks. I called and cancelled the order, I left a message as no one ever answers the phone. My card was charged a month later for the purchase. It is now November and I have not received a refund OR the rug. The company doesn't answer calls or emails. DO NOT use this company, ever.Desired Settlement: refund plus interest of 12% based on current market values as they have had my money since March to use and I haven't had access to it, or gotten the product.

Review: Order # [redacted] Ordered on Jan 4, 2014, they charged the credit card right away. On Jan 9th (supposed to ship by then) when not yet shipped contacted them and they said there were shipping delays due to weather. Then we called them several days later after no contact from them and they said they only had 2 in stock instead of the three we ordered. We reduced the order to two and were supposed to get a partial refund for the third within 5-7 days, refund never came, neither did the two stools. On Jan 25th after no contact from them we called again only to have them tell us the two they have are damaged and they would have to refund all of our money and it would be 5-7 days for the refund. Now by the 27th they still had not processed the cancellation and we emailed and called only to have them tell us it would be yet another 5-7 days. After contacting them again on 1/30 as the order cancellation still had not processed they send a credit memo stating in 2-3 business days we should see the money in our account. They have had our money over a month and never actually had the product to ship us in the first place. What a total scam.Desired Settlement: Give us our money back immediately.

Review: I purchased a rug from Nilima Home for $592.00 on 10-22-14. It arrived on 10-29-14. I contacted them on the 29th and told them I wanted to return it. They gave me the run around asking for photos of the rug, etc until 11-7-14 at which time I finally got the return order number from them. It was shipped via [redacted] 11-7-14. They received the rug back on 11-11-14. But then they told me it would be another 5-10 business days before I would receive my refund. The 10th day was on 11-25-14, yet still no refund. I have sent them 3 emails and tried calling but they have stopped communicating with me.Hello, There is now a second issue with this company. They said they are crediting me 461.00. There contract says they can charge a 10% restocking fee and shipping charges. However, they raised the cost of the rug to $740. instead of the $592 that I paid. I also called [redacted] and they told me this exact order was less than $24.00 to ship it to me. Nilima Home gets a discount with [redacted] and [redacted] could not give me that information because I do not work for Nilima Home. I feel that I should not be paying more than $59 for restocking and $24. for shipping. They charged me $131.00 Therefore, they still owe me another $48.00 Thank you[redacted] Complaint number [redacted]Desired Settlement: I would like a full and complete refund. They have put me through enough and made me wait way too long.

Business

Response:

Greetings!We do apologize if you had a hard time on this order. Please be informed that a credit memo was sent over to confirm the refund that was processed and yes the refund was for only $461.00. Please note that even if the rug has increased in price but we are honoring the amount you paid for which is for only $592.00 and not for $740.00 which is the increased price.Well if we are to calculate the refund that was processed, we only took off 10% Restocking fee out of $592.00 which was clearly stipulated on our policy, and also we have deducted the shipping charges for $77.00 which cost the return shipping for the item.Therefore the total refund was for $461.00. And as per customers claim that we never have responded on her calls and email, we do have email threads that we could then supply as a proof that there was an email exchange between our company and to the [redacted]We do hope to resolve this matter as the refund has already been processed. Thank you!Regards,[redacted]

Review: [redacted]

I am rejecting this response because:I agree with the restocking fee of $59.00. However, I called [redacted] and gave them the tracking number. They told me that the shipping chage on this exact rug was less than $24.00 to have the rug sent to me. I was told that there was also a discount involved, but she could not share that information with me. This rug was shipped from [redacted] and returned to [redacted]. I spoke with the office manager, [redacted], and she said that it was against company policy for her to tell me what the shipping charge was, but that it was NOT $77.00. She said she will contact Nilima and try to get this worked out. Why is Nilima charging a restocking fee, when the returned rug did not even go to them?Therefore I am requesting the difference of $53.00 to be refunded to me.

Regards,

Business

Response:

Greetings!There is nothing else we could about this, it was mainly stipulate don our company policy that restocking fee will be deducted, and we took 10% restocking fee for that coz we only charge restocking fee for 10%. You have processed the order with us and we did the processing to have the item shipped to you and therefore we are solely responsible on the order not [redacted]

We already have refunded you according to the calculations made. The reason why [redacted] nor [redacted] won't discuss these matters it is because the business was made in between our company and theirs. It will be likely inappropriate or disclose any information on the order. The 10% restocking fee and shipping charges as mentioned were calculated and was deducted. There are no other hidden charges mad on the refund.Thank you!Regards,

Review: I ordered a Chilewich 6 x 9 Turquoise Floor Mat in January, 2014 from NilimaHome. The price at Nilima was considerably less than what was offered from other online companies that carry the same product. The original price was $580 with an additional 15% off, making the total price for the rug $493. I submitted my credit card information and was given an order number: [redacted]. the rug has not been delivered.

I have contacted the company several times to inquire as to when I would receive the rug, first by phone, then subsequently by email. I have copies of emails sent 1-14-14; 2-23-14; 4-1-14; 5-4-14; and 7-14-14. Each reply from the Nilima representative (namely [redacted]) claimed the the rug was back-ordered for another 3-5 weeks. On 8-12-14 I sent an email stating that the rug is indeed available, as I see it on their website. The price is now the same price as the competitors' price of $625. I suspect Nilima does not want to sell me the rug at the agreed upon price of $493.Desired Settlement: I would like Nilima to honor their advertised price of $493 with free shipping and promptly deliver the Chilewich 6x9 mini basketweave rug in turquoise.

Response:

Greetings!We made several inspection on the emails the customer has sent and our Representative's ([redacted]) responses regarding on the issue as well as the status of the item customer has ordered. Upon checking, our Representative has just been diligently following the status update we had for the item which happens to be on backordered status.We did inform the customer that we cannot fulfill the order as of yet since it is still on backordered and that we do not have anything left in stock to ship.After several and consecutive weeks of checking, our system automatically detects that the item has been discontinued by the manufacturer/supplier. That was the time when we canceled customers order since there is no any way we can ship the said item. By means of canceling the order comes voiding the Pending-Authorization which she was informed of.If and when we still have the item in stock, by any means we could always honor the first amount she paid for disregarding the increased amount of the certain item.In this case, we clearly signify that the item is no longer available.We do hope this clears out the issue and resolves this matter. We would appreciate any positive feedback regarding on the matter. Thank you!Regards,[redacted]

Review: I ordered a rug on June 8th, order number [redacted]. I waited for days for a tracking number. I called a representative several times only to be told that my order was still at the warehouse. He said that by Monday the 16th I would receive the tracking number. That never occurred. I emailed [redacted].com and never received a response. I called several more times only to have my call hung up on after I had been connected. I left a message to speak to a manager and never had my call returned. I called numerous more times. I repeatedly tried to call the number I had been given for a manager but no one ever answered. I called two days ago and cancelled my order, after 18 days of waiting. I was told that I would receive a confirmation of my cancelled order within 24 hours. That too was a lie. I told the representative all the trouble that had occurred. He never once connected me with a manager or apologized for the wait. I waited on hold for 20 minutes during one call and then was hung up on. I called yesterday to inquire why I had not received the confirmation email of the cancelled order. I was told that my request was denied. The representative could still not provide me with an answer or tell me a tracking number. I demanded that my order be cancelled and that the product not be shipped, if the product even exists. He said that he would send a confirmation email within another 24 hours and that someone else has to approve it. It is infuriating to me that my money was taken and that for 18 days I was lead on to believe that I was receiving a rug. This is the worst online buying experience and customer service I have ever seen. As I told the representative, I will not hesitate to contact my bank, lawyer, and the business bureau to get a refund. If the product ships to my house after my numerous requests, I will not pay for return shipping and will still expect a refund. This business should provide its customers with what they pay for in a timely manner or shut down. I expect my refund and an email.Desired Settlement: I just want a refund as soon as possible.

Response:

I placed a complaint with the complaint number above on Nilima Inc. They did refund my money after you contacted them. They have called me incessantly to remove my complaint. I do not want to remove my compliant, but it can be noted that they returned my money. That only happened however, after numerous calls, emails, threats to contact my attorney, and my complaint with your bureau. I want other consumers to know that a refund or customer service does not come easily with this company. I would like them to stop contacting me.

Thanks so much for YOUR help,

Review: I ordered a 10' X 13' rug on Nov. 26. With lots of emails on my part, I finally received one that said that the rug had been shipped. On Dec. 16 I received a tracking number and the rug arrived on Dec. 17. But the large rug arrived in a box not rolled. It is full of creases and dents that still have not come out. I emailed asking how to return the rug for a full refund or instructions on how to get the creases to lay flat, but as of today Jan. 14, I have heard nothing from NilimaDesired Settlement: The best outcome would be to send a ROLLED rug as a replacement.

Business

Response:

We haven't got any correspondence from customer regarding the return or exchange of the rug. We have checked our emails and call logs, we havn't got any emails or calls from customer regarding any issues with the rug or returning/exchanging the rug. We process returns very promptly but since the customer has not contacted us ever for returns, this is a false complaint to circumvent the 30 day return policy. As we do not take or process returns after 30 days of delivery.

As the customer stated herself that the rug was delivered on Dec 17th, 2013; customer had until Jan 18th, 2014 to initiate the return but she passed the 30 day period so she initiated this complaint.

We request the emails sent or any record of calls made to us after the delivery date (Dec 17th, 2013) to initiate the return process, if customer provide the proof of contact we will gladly process the return.

I am rejecting this response because:

Their response is not true. I emailed several times to try to get another rolled rug but received no answer from them.

I received no response from them once I began to ask for a refund or replacement or just some help in getting the lumps out.

After I received the rug and wrote I did a more thorough search of the website and found others who were dissatisfied with the customer service after ordering a product.

I attached my email.

Review: I ordered a rug online at nilimahome.com on 5/1/2014. The product item said it would take 14 days. When I log into my account it simply says "processing." I received a reply from [redacted] on 5/15/14 stating that they were waiting on the tracking number. I have since emailed on 5/21, 5/29, and called on 5/29 and 5/30 during their normal business hours and have received zero response from them.

Review: I feel this is both a delievery issue, as well as an customer service issues. I placed an order on my item (a musical clef-shaped clock) in mid December. Paid for it (item had free shipping), and was sent an email confirmation stating I'll be notified and given a [redacted], or [redacted] tracking number by Nilima Inc regarding the status of my purchase. Not having recieved any such email(s) since I placed the order back in December I called [Nilima Inc] today (1/3/14) and spoke with a customer-service assistant named "[redacted] (she refused to give her last name) multiple times about the issue. Upon speaking with her the first time I was put on speaker phone and could barely hear her, but in the back ground it sounded like "[redacted] was in a busy rooms with two guys goofing off. Having a hard time trying to hear me (again I'm on speaker phone, not "[redacted]) I heard someone in the background communicate with her and was hung up on!!! Which lead me to suspect Nilima Inc was a scam, so being a little panicked, I called the number again to cancel my order and somehow got redirected to none other than "[redacted] again, who again put me on speaker, and sounded like she was still in a room with two guys. Fed up I told her about my order (giving her all the details) and wanting to "cancel" it was put on hold for about 5 minutes or so when she returned (no longer having me on speaker) and said that my order had been shipped, and giving me all the procedures needed if and when it arrived and I still wanted to return the item. Upon hearing this I asked if that's so, why haven't I recieved an email stating it had been "shipped?" "[redacted] told me "Nilima Inc has been having some computer glitches since November in their system and she apologized. I then asked her about my previous phone call, why I was on speaker phone, and now currently am not, as well as the background noise. "[redacted] avoiding the question quickly tells me to have a good day and hangs up on me again!!! Talk about crappy service. I just want my item, or money.Desired Settlement: I would either like the item I purchased, or my money back, and this to be brought to the attention of the Revdex.com, or Nilima Inc themselves, because though the Revdex.com gives Nilma good ratings, I feel their company is a scam, point blank. [redacted] as she's named has showed me that!!!

Response:

Customer contacted us on January 7th, 2014 and informed us about broken clock. We promised customer that we will get back to her and update her about a replacement or a refund which ever she preferred. We were in the middle of the process and customer put the complain with Revdex.com already not giving us enough time to investigate and resolve her issue. Regarding the customer service here is what our agent had to say about the situation and communication with the customer:

Sat, Jan 11, 2014 at 2:09 AM

To: "Nlima Inc." <[email protected]>

Hello [redacted]. I would like to share my part on this complaint. Yes I have assisted her twice only regarding on the broken clock. First and foremost, I was even polite to her when she mentioned about the broken clock, it's not easy when you buy something and when its delivered its broken and all. I even informed [redacted] on the spot to process the return. Well, I wanted to defend myself, I never ever hang up on calls no matter how stupid the customer is. Sorry for the term. And there is no way that I will have 2 men on the background coz in the first place, my husband is the only guy in the house and is always asleep during my work hours since its night time here in the [redacted] on my shift and he has work first thing in the morning... As far as I can remember I never had any issues with her, coz her case was a piece of cake, as simple as return and refund. I just don't get it why have such complain. Anyway, what ever my fault is which I internalize over and over again if I had one, I apologize for that..

Thank you. Have a great day!

Review: I ordered a carpet on 18 May 2013. The total amount to include "handling," is $849.40. This amount was paid via [redacted]. Confirmation No.: [redacted]; Invoice No. [redacted] As of today, 8 July 2013, the carpet has NOT been received and we have been informed, THREE times, that it is "on it's way." Nilima, Inc., has provided very limited information. Initially, the carpet was supposed to be delivered by 15 Jun 2013. On 10 Jun 2013, I received a response to my inquiry for status that the carpet was estimated to be available to be "shipped in the week of 6/26. We will ship it out promptly as it comes in stock and update you with the tracking information." This did NOT happen nor did I receive any further information. I followed up on 26 June 2013 and received a response on 27 June 2013 that "the rug is supposed to ship out within next 5 to 7 business days. 7 business days was 3 July 2013. So far, this has NOT happened. Another follow-up was sent out for status on 27 Jun 2013 and reply receive on 28 Jun 2013, stating, ""vessel carrying it is delayed and now is supposed to come in stock next week. Your rug will ship out by the end of the next week and we will send the tracking number very promptly the moment it ships." On 6 July 2013, another follow-up was sent to Nilima, Inc. and response was received 8 July 2013, stating, "I heard back from the manufacturer and they informed that the container is scheduled to arrive in this week. I have requested them to rush-ship the order as soon as they have received the rug in their warehouse." I have serious doubts about this whole situation and I have requested a full refund of our money and cancellation of the order immediately. This has gone past the "ridiculous."Desired Settlement: As previously stated, I have requested a full refund [redacted] credit) and cancellation of the order.

Response:

We apologize for the inconveniences to the customer but this rug supposed to ship from our supplier and we did everything possible to get the rug shipped on time as promised.

Review: I ordered two rugs from Nilima on November 10, 2013, on their internet site. That order number being [redacted]. They immediately charge $538.31 to my credit card. I was emailed by them that the rugs were out of stock and that they would be available the first week in December. After not hearing from them, I called [redacted] of the sale dept. and asked the status of the rugs. She told me the rugs were not available and she would email me back to let me know their status. On December 13, after not hearing, I called her and was told the rugs would not be available until February 2014. I told her to "cancel" the order and refund my money. She said she would put it that the credit would have to be approved and then put through their credit department, credit should be received within a5-7 business days. I called her just before Christmas and she told me their credit dept. was closed due to Christmas. I again talked with her December 28 and at that time she told me she had submitted the credit and that it would be received after the 1st of the year. No credit came through. I called again January 5, 2014, talked to [redacted] and ask where my credit was. She said it would take 5-7 business days to receive my credit back. I told her that at this point I was going to contact the Attorney Generals office and the BB Bureau if they did not issued me a credit immediately. As of today, January 9, 2014, there has been o credit issued to my credit card. I have gotten the same excuse over and over again and am so very annoyed at this point. I have never had this problem with any company for orders placed over the internet and would like this issue resolved immediately. I have moved in the process and have a new address which is [redacted] and can be contacted at the above phone numbers.Desired Settlement: Please have them issue me a refund ASAP on the credit card used to purchase these items.

Review: I placed an order on-line ( order #[redacted]) on 7/25/13 for a rug. The price of the rug was 38.95. I received the confirmation of the order via email immediately after placing the order. Shortly after receiving the order confirmation I received another email that said the item was on back order until September and that once it was received my order would be shipped. It has now been over 6 months since I placed my order and I am being told the item will be in on 4/1/14 and I will now have to pay $75.36 for the item. I have waited a long time for this rug and I feel they should honor the price that is on my order confirmation. I am being told my their customer service department that if I still want the item I have to pay the new higher price. I have told them I am not interested in the item at that price and to cancel my order.Desired Settlement: I would like them to honor the price that is on my order confirmation.
