The only hiccup I have ever seen is that when I use an electronic gift card at a few stores like New York & Co. , Anthropologie, maybe a couple of others I can not think of right now, there is some confusion on whether it is a merchandise return card or a gift card. There are different numbers of digits to let you know if it is a gift card or merchandise card. The store cashier always has trouble and it can be annoying having to educate them on the difference between merchandise credit and a gift card.
Crate and Barrel is awesome because you can enter your own card numbers at the check out. Pier 1 is able to scan the telephone app with their scanner gun for easy processing.
Overall I give them an 8 out of 10 for ease of use, value, and variety.
It has now been over a week and a half.
They have my card, I don't have my money.
I selected that it be handled via amazon giftcard.
Faqs say it should take an hour... obviously the faqs are mistaken.
I've sent them three emails and haven't gotten a single (non-automated) response yet.
I keep reading that this company is legit but so far everything about this transaction has been very, very unprofessional.
