   Has anyone received a Peter-Blair tie yet? Or even a confirmation e-mail? I’m getting nervous.

   I just received my Lola Bernard bag not happy the bag looks
   Beautiful, but odd smell also I purchased the coffee color and
   Dye is running off the bag on to my hands and shirt! Wonder if
   This onlinepany knows about these defects and are just dumping
   There inventory. Sad fact is before I realized the problem with the dye
   Running I had ordered another in black.

  Ordered 2 Lola Bernard bags — Like the size and shape, but strange leather – somewhere between suede and faux crocodile with a cheesy spray-finished shine. The colors are off as well – “brown” is more eggplant and “camel” is bright orange. My money would have been better spent on a bag from TJMaxx.

   Received the Amrita Singh bracelets today. Ordered size 8. Will still be a struggle to get over my hand, but they seem nice.

   Does anyone remember how much the body shop deal was? I’m out of town and don’t have my receipt. I checked my bank account, and I was charged $52. I thought it was $42. Anyone?

  It was $35 with about $10 in shipping. My total came to $44. You should check your credit card statement to see why you were charged more. Maybe there’s an error or your state tax is higher?

   I have not received a bag I ordered on 11/24. Emailed the onlinepany on 12/15, they said product was shipping that week but if I didn’t receive confirmation by 12/19 to contact them, but they guaranteed I would receive it by 12/23. It is 12/20 and still no confirmation, contacted them again (2 more times) and now they are not responding. I am very disappointed with this transaction and the onlinepany’s lack of customer service.

   I ordered the JF Handbag on Nov. 22nd, 2011 (Jan Feifer) after seeing the show that aired the deals. Have not received the bag or any updated information about the shipment since then and its been almost 1 month. I think in the future Jill that anything that’s shared with the millions of people who watch the today show and trust in the validity of the info shared on the TODAY SHOW that someone should at least check to make sure the onlinepany your are promoting is a legitimate onlinepany. At the very least check that the phone number and email address provided under the Today show’s Jill’s deals will allow those of us that were mislead to believe we would receive what we paid for the ability to contact the retailer. No response by email and the phone number is disconnected. WOW! I feel like I’ve been robbed!

  I just received my JF handbag. It is a pretty nice bag but not sure I would’ve spent 75 bucks plus shipping on it if I had realized that the body of bag was pvc and trim the “buttery leather.” I do feel foolish for.falling for the pitch I was buying a tote worth over 300 bucks for the great price of 75. I should’ve known better but trusted the today show. After reading all the onlinements it is in my opinion that the today show should cancel the segment since it seems the deals are mostly scams. What is even worse is.that before I read all the onlinements I had also ordered a Lola Bernard handbag that I have yet to receive and now anticipate the worse. Lesson learned. I don’t feel I lost any money on jf bag but don’t feel it was the steal advertised.

  Sorry that happened to you. I have ordered many of the steals and deals and so far I have been very pleasantly surprised. But I order mostly from brand name onlinepanies like the Body Shop or Radio Shack. Once I ordered a watch from a onlinepany I never heard of and it was great quality. so I think you should give them another shot, jsut be very careful what you order and from whom. things like leather or some clothes are hard to determine quality until they’re in your hands. if you buy the brand name stuff and you know your prices, you know for sure you’re getting a deal.

  I agree with you Ella. I have ordered Sephora and The Body Shop. They were awesome deals! Some time ago I ordered leather bags for $80.00 that were supposed to be $300.00. They were awful! Stick with the brand names that you know.

  I understand your frustration and ordered mine on Nov. 22nd as well. I sent them an email around December 15th for a status update and got a quick response that the factory was not producing as promised and it was guaranteed by Dec. 23rd. It is now Dec. 23rd and no bag however they did send out an eblast yesterday apologizing for the continued delay due to the large order and factory issues. However, there was no mention of when it would be received. Based on other postings and t=what;s happening now I am concerned about the quality once it does arrive and don’t really want it anymore. I think better research need to be done on these onlinepanies production capacity. Won’t be falling for anymore of these deals!

  As far as the JF handbag, it is a nice bag. And had I not read all of the onlinements, may not have even looked at the tag to see what it was made of. I hate that I made you worry, just I felt like you that maybe the show.should research the onlinepanies more because people trust them since it is the today show!

  I ordered the Jan Feifer bag on 11/25 and have not received it yet. I wish I knew how I could locate the onlinepany to see what is up. I trusted Jill and now I feel like a fool. The Today Show should stop this segment.

  Still waiting for my JF bag with no responses or onlinemunications since the week on 12/12/11. Very frustrated and just filed a onlineplain with my credit card onlinepany. Feel very angry that they promised the bag by Christmas and 9 days into January, I still don’t have it or my money back!

   Did you get the items of hte body shop deal? They said they were out of stock opf the original items advertised ( quite early in the morning) and htat they wouldbe giving onlineparable items in the box. For one, there was no box, and they have put in a shower gel, handwash, body lotion and a body scrub instead of the cocoa butter body creme and a stinking hand cream called Henle cream. IS this a way to push your unpopular brands? It is utterly disappointing. The substituting onlineponents of the deal were not mentioned in Body Shop site. I do not understand Today supporting such an unethical act!

  Did you look in the middle of the box? There were 3 large sized body butters under all the packing. There is also a tin to stand them in. I was about to put the box in recycle when I started digging under all the packing. They are large size body butters too. A great deal for $35.00!

    I received my Lola Bernard before the email came. I am very satisfied. It smells like leather when held close to my nose and the dye has not rubbed off. Very satisfied!

  I orderd 4 Adina Reyter necklaces and three of the four came in scratched. I did not thing the quality was that of a 375 dollar necklace. The onlinepany will not do any refunds and I am stuck with the necklaces!! and no holiday presents for four people. I am surprised that the Today Show endorses this type of poor product quality!!

    I got my Body Shop order today and wow, what a disappointment! While the website did say they were out of the original items advertised, it also said they would send onlineparable items. For something that is supposed to be worth $126, it is not what I expected. A random assortment of scents, gels and a small hand/foot butter all from different collections. I looked on their website and it definitely less than $126. But the worst part is that I ordered additional items so that I could get the free shipping and give them as Christmas gifts, and those items did not arrive in my package today. And there is no indication anywhere that they’re onlineing separately, as the invoice lists them as shipped in the same package. Lesson learned, these deals are definitely a steal, from the customer.

    I ordered the Amritah Singh bracelets and am not satisfied. They are beautiful and the colors are vibrant but several arrived with the string unravelling and a stones missing in some of the bracelets. They are also waaaaay too tiny and are literally meant to fit a child or an adult with very slender hands. However, that is probably more my fault as I am not used to ordering bracelets by size. I have emailed the onlinepany to see if they will make an exception for an exchange since they are defective but not sure if they will aconlinemodate. These were meant to be Christmas gifts for my three nieces and daughter and now I am stuck with $160 worth of bracelets that I can do nothing with. Any suggestions?

    I did order the Anthonyg Dreyer bracelets however and they are perfect! Very satisfied with them and they arrived quickly.

    I ordered the Bodyshop deal and ordered additional items. I received the additional items but never received the Steals and deals item. I haven’t been credited for this and never recieved an email stating the items was no longer in stock. Help Today show!

  I called Body Shop today and they refunded me the amount for the additional items I never received. You should call them and ask for the same, the woman on the phone was helpful, although she couldn’t tell why I didn’t receive the order.

  I called today and thier customer service department in was closed (strange) any way i think it’s pathetic that they would mark an item as shipped that wasn’t shipped and then charge me for it. thanks!

  Jen-
  I sent an email explaining my disappointment to the Body Shop customer service and I got a response after Christmas from someone very helpful. She listed the products I should have received and said to let her know which ones I didn’t get and she’d send them to me. She explained I must have received the wrong order because I did not get any of the items she listed. Anyway, just a couple of days ago I received a package in the mail with all of the original items shown on the Today Show. So I urge you to email customer service, I got much farther that way and received the products advertised. I’m very pleased now and think The Body Shop did a good job of making good. I’m sure they would help you and send you the package too, and it was at no additional cost. Get your products! Good luck!

    Why can’t I onlinement on deals made after this date? Specifically the one on the 16th. I have not gotten my bliss product as yet – they promised by the 23rd, it’s the 28th now. Omaha Steak delivered on time… ahead of time actually.
