Sumbuns FAIL

May 05, 2009 17:43

Over a year ago (in fact, closer to 18-24 months ago) I made an agreement to do web content for Summer of Sumbuns in exchange for store credit. Along w/ developing product descriptions and written policies for shipping/returns/etc., I also did many of the listings on her Hyena Cart. When all was said and done, the amount agreed upon was $205 in ( Read more... )

Sounds like more of the same. I'm sorry you were taken for a ride.

She sent my diapers so late they were way too small for my youngin. I'm still trying to offload them.

I love the IDEA of her diapers, but its not worth the drama, constant put-offs, and bad customer service.

Will be sticking with other brands.

There's really nothing to be done at this point short of trying to take legal action, which isn't worth it for such a small amount. I just hope that this keeps her from ever going back into business.

I don't think we have to worry about that. However, everytime I see a new diaper business pop up I'm really skeptical and worried that it might be her.

Well, I know what all her old designs look like and the stuff she had in the works, so if I run across anything like that, I'll be the first to blow the whistle.

I have six Sumbuns diapers, and they are some of my favorites. I think it was because of the side-snapping that my pesky 2yr old couldn't figure out. I bought them a year ago after she opened up and had lady_artemisa helping her, and she had them in stock.

I even considered, at one time, about getting rid of all my FB in order to convert over to Sumbuns 100%. Then she closed for her new job.

Guess I'm kinda glad that never happened(switching over). Although I have been still wondering about other stuff with her, that is so far off from cloth diapers. My grandmother was from the same area of Texas where she is from, and my grandmother had the same maiden name as Summer. She never got back to me on what info she could get out of her dad.

I loved my Sumbuns. They're the only AIO we used w/ my second son by the end of cloth diapering. We sold off our First Class Baby, even! I didn't buy any AIOs for my daughter, thinking I'd be getting a huge, perfect Sumbuns stash. Alas!
