Deutsher Design is a joke! Don't waste your time with this terrible company.This is by far the most unreliable internet based company I have ever had the displeasure to work with. Anette Stephens caused me and my family a huge amount of inconvenience and aggravation, and it lasted for weeks! First, about 10 weeks after i had placed in my order, she said it was ready, and that she had shipped it. She provided me with a Tracking number that was a fake and didn't correspond to any shipment. I tried to reach her for days and she simply ignored my emails. Then, she finally answered me that the shipping person" had just passed of a heart attack" and that she will put my order in the mail herself immediately. For three weeks after that I asked her for a shipping number, but she never answered any of my emails and disappeared again. It took for me the threaten several times to report her to eBay, paypal and the North Carolina Better Business Bureau for her to actually ship HALF of my order, and this is where it gets good: she had the nerve to try to intimidate me saying that she had hired a lawyer to handle my complaints!!! And to add insult to injury, Stephens said she wouldn't ship my full order because she was afraid I wouldn't pay her the balance I owed her. How nice to be called a crook after all this aggravation. I hope this will prevent any prospective customers for custom made shades to go through a similar unpleasant experience.
Description of Work: Deutsher Design is a joke!

I hope this will prevent any prospective customers for custom made shades to go through a similar unpleasant experience. And by the way: did I mention that the shades I received were extremely cheap and poorly made, with plastic accessories and bad quality finishes. The shades I received did not even include a cord stopper even though it was promised in the description. What a shame.

Response from DDesigner
It is very unfortunate that small businesses are at times subject to bully behavior by abusive customers. However, in response to this negative entry by this individual we feel it is of importance that we add a few important facts -> Est. Completion Date: Six weeks Total Cost: $755.00 + S/H Down payment: $453.00 (60%) Description Of Work: Six (6) Custom Roman Shades - PB Style Items shipped: Four (4) Custom Roman Shades Cost: $375.00 + $25.00 S/H Refunded: $53.00 ______________ We offer our customers to bill with two invoices - esp. for large orders (60/40) -> 60% will be a down payment and the remaining 40% is due once the order is completed! The remaining balance has to be paid in full before we release all items. However we often will go ahead and send part of the completed order (as we did with this order),but for obvious reasons we can not release the entire order until the payment has been made in full! In very rare cases will we be forced to terminate a business transactions, however we wont hesitate to do so if we receive written threats like we have received by this individual (see below) July 27th, 2011 -> I accept your apology and I will track this shipment myself! (Note- the shipment is awaiting pick up since July 23, 2011) You have made several mistakes on your part that have caused this very bad situation, including: - ignoring my emails - mailing to the wrong address My strong emails and many postings of negative feedback on various social networks apparently were the only way to get you to respond! July 27th, 2011 - #2 -> I have received your package but it is only half of my order, I don't understand why you have cancelled the shipping of the 2nd parcel. These are the most important pieces of my order as they are needed to protect my brand new sofa from the sun. Re-upholstering this sofa will cost me several thousand dollars. I ask you to send the rest of my order at once and send me a tracking number. Only then will I immediately remove all negative reviews of your company!! Otherwise I will simply change my reviews from "Deutscher Design is a SCAM" (which is no longer the truth) to "Deutscher Design is the most unreliable company I have had the displeasure to work with" and your poor ratings will stay the same. - Your choice ***** In addition since early July 23rd, 2011 this individual has created a fake Facebook account and notified us that she will send slanderous e-mail correspondences to all of our FB friends (450+ friends / Facebook has been notified), she also attempted to purchase a custom item from our ebay store on July 25th, 2011 assuming she could leave negative feedback without actually paying for the purchased item (Ebay has been notified), furthermore we reported this issue to all social networks that were used by this individual to post negative feedback about our company! Please note, we clearly state in our business policy that we reserve the right to cancel orders and or restrict sales due to breach of prior agreed service agreements, issues of conflict, threats or suspicious activity as well as where we believe the reputation of Deutscher Design could be brought into disrepute and therefore we reserve the right to report all acts of defamation against our company to the fullest extent of the law. Furthermore we take all threats made against Deutscher Design very serious and in this case we found it to be be in our best interest that we forward all of the threatening correspondence & actions to our attorneys. We have processed a refund via Paypal for any overpayment that was made with the down payment and have been advised by legal counsel to follow our business policy and therefore cancel any and all business transactions with this individual. Thank you Deutscher Design
