Brindee Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Has anyone ordered from these guys? http://www.queenhomeschool.com/ I placed an order on April 12, and received an automated return saying my order was received. I haven't heard anything since. I'm not TOO concerned, but it's a fairly large order, so don't want to be out that amount of money! I'd just like to know when it was sent and when to expect it, so I can watch for it. I've tried to e-mail them twice using the contact e-mail they list on their site. Both times it said to please check the address, it couldn't be delivered because the server is overloaded. I just now tried it again with the same result. I've also tried calling their toll free number twice--I got a busy signal both times. I'm a little frustrated at the lack of communication, and that I cannot get in touch with them! Any ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Alfred Academy Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I placed an order with the awhile back and had trouble. Took 3-4 weeks to get my order and then it was wrong. They were very kind in correcting it and even let me keep one of the books for free, but I do remember having some trouble contacting them. Hope you get it worked out soon.

AudreyTN Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I ordered from them once and had a problem. They are very nice people and only have the family working for them (if I remember correctly). Keep calling until you get an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunflowerlady Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I have read several posts on various hs boards about people having trouble when they order from them.:glare: So, it does not surpsrise me that you are having issues. I have never placed an order from them, so I have no firsthand experience. I do like some of their materials, but if I want to order them, I find another company who carries the items and order from them instead. I hope you get it worked out soon.:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) FWIW, I have ordered from her and had no problems, but I only ordered two things. IIRC, they came in a reasonable amount of time. Farm Country General Store sells some of their products, so that might be another vendor to use if ordering directly is a problem. :) http://www.homeschoolfcgs.com/index.php/cPath/0 Edited April 30, 2009 by OnTheBrink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat in MI Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I have ordered from them several times and never had a problem getting the order. It does seem to take longer to get orders from them. Also, it is the beginning of convention season so that might delay it a little more since they are out on the road. And yes it is mostly family in the business so probably they are short handed in the warehouse right now. I hope your order comes with no problems, but I don't think I would worry just yet. Blessings, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aletheia Academy Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I placed one small order with them. It did take several weeks to receive it, and there was a mistake in it, and they did let me keep the more expensive book I did not order. I'm guessing you will eventually receive your order. I hope you receive what you ordered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollyDay Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 They have had some trouble with their website online ordering before. It generates an order, but it never makes it to the processing side of things. I would call, rather than email. This happened to me right before Christmas. I was ordering for 2nd semester and a few Christmas gifts. They graciously upgraded my shipping at no additional charge. I would definitely call. And by the way, Queen is NOT the company I am having trouble with at the moment :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brindee Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Thanks everyone! I wasn't too worried, really, I just usually hear from the places I order from saying they've shipped they items. So I thought I'd e-mail and/or call just to get an estimate. What started worrying me was when I couldn't send an e-mail OR get through on the phone! Still can't get through on the phone, and still haven't received an e-mail back. Interesting thing is, I ordered LoF Geometry for my ds on Wednesday, and we got it in the mail TODAY! I ordered some stuff from R&S on Monday or Tuesday, and we received it today. I'm sure they must use media mail, and that's very unpredictable..... All I want is some acknowledgement that they received the order, and a timeframe in which to expect it to arrive! It's my first foray into these things, so it's good to hear that people like their materials! Thanks again for your thoughts on the matter! Hope it resolves itself soon!

Amy in Ohio Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I had trouble with my order from them too. :glare: I placed an order on the web and received confirmation like you did, but my books hadn't arrived after almost a month. I emailed Queen and forwarded my confirmation to them. I was told they never received my order. :confused: I was asked to replace my order online, and then call to confirm it. After doing that, I received my order within the week. I do love their language arts books, but I'll be following up future orders with a phone call. I'd suggest to keep trying to contact them via phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brindee Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Wow, okay, thanks those of you who mentioned the call and them saying they never received the order! Huh? How does that happen? It seems like that would be something I'd have fixed the first time someone called and told me that!

But, I seem to have no way of finding that out because I can't get through to them. NOW I am panicking because it was a large order. I'm frustrated because I can't get through to them the only two ways they provide to contact them. I'm curious as to why this would be happening! I'm wondering why it's such poor service if so many have had great experiences?:confused: I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW! How can I ever get in touch with them?

Greta Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 So, based on what others have said, here, they may have not even received my order! But, I seem to have no way of finding that out because I can't get through to them. Could you check with your credit card company to see if the items have been charged? At least then, if you have been charged, you know the order was received and processed, right? I'm sorry for your frustrations. I've only ordered from them once but had a good experience. I only received the auto-confirmation, but then the item arrived pretty promptly. I'm sure everything will work out, but I know it's a hassle in the meantime.

mom2g2b Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I think they have a child with cancer. I haven't kept up with all that was going on in quite a while.

They were at a conference I attended a few years ago. Maybe that is the problem. Vickie Yes, they do have a son with cancer, which is hard to deal with and scary! No doubt about that, and it's something I would NEVER want to go through! HOWEVER, if they keep their business running through that time, and are attending conferences to generate interest in their product so people will buy it, then it seems it would behoove (sp???) them to keep up with their orders and phone requests, etc., right? If the son is needing his parents/family's time, then they should temporarily stop their conference schedule and put messages up that they are not taking orders at this time! I hope that doesn't sound rude concerning their son, I certainly don't mean it that way in any way, shape or form! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brindee Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 **UPDATE** I sent another e-mail titled "Important!!! Please Answer!!!" to try to grab their attention. The e-mail that finally did get sent Thursday afternoon/evening had all the info. in it, so this one I just stated the problem and that I needed to find out what was happening with my order. This morning I GOT AN ANSWER! It basically just said that I needed to include the order number and info. (all of which I had put in my previous e-mail) so they could help me. So, I resent the e-mail from Thursday, and restated my request on the e-mail they sent to me this morning. Oh, they also said they're busy so to keep trying to call. I've called so many times! I wonder if they need another line or something if they are THAT busy that someone trying to call at all different hours for 3 or 4 days can't get through? Might be nice. I'm hoping I get some answers today sometime. I haven't heard back yet, but at least I know the e-mail went through and they know OF the situation, and can therefore supply me with some kind of answer! At least I'm hoping so! :) Sorry for whining, I'm just surprised at how this is playing out, and not sure how they can run a business that way! But, as others have had no problems, I must've just been one that slipped through the cracks somehow. Anyway, we'll see what happens next!

Brindee Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) I just got through on the phone! I was so excited when it actually rang! The lady answered hello (as opposed to "This is Queen Homeschool or something like that), so I asked if this was Queen Homeschool. "It is, but they close at 4pm." I answered, "Oh, but...." She cut me off and said, "Can you please call back tomorrow?" Again I clearly stated, "But......" She said thankyou and hung up. Hmph. Okay, so I'm not known for my communication skills! ;) But now I'm frustrated cuz I won't hear anything until tomorrow, since they never answered the e-mail before they closed. I think I'm driving myself crazy, because I think this is very poor service, and I started out simply wondering when I could expect my order so I could watch for it.:banghead: Okay, I need to just :chillpill::chillpill::chillpill: Edited May 4, 2009 by Brindee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I definitely understand your frustration!! I fought this same battle this past week with another company. My order of April 8 finally shipped today May 4. Customer Service is a lost art - at best it is missing in action. I have actually been made to feel like I was bothering a company if I made an inquiry about order status that was way overdue. I am not sure what the response should be. Obviously, not using the company again is a start. If companies are unable to process an order within stated time, then they should at least respond. Something simple even on their website like: "due to overwhelming responses from conferences, we are running 2 weeks behind on shipping", "due to problems at the publisher", "due to health emergency". Something to inform the customer of the setback. THen, the customer can decide if they want to wait or cancel their order and place it with another distributor. Just my 2 cents worth.

Brindee Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 NEW UPDATE: I never did get a reply from the e-mail, but I finally DID get through on the phone this morning! The person that answered (probably one of the kids) did a great job of taking information, I gave them the order number and they said they would look up information on it and call me back. Sure enough they DID call back and said their records showed that they sent it out a couple of days after they received the order. Since I hadn't received it yet, they are going to send a replacement shipment out today by Priority Mail! Then they apologized that I hadn't received it, and asked that if I get two shipments that I refuse one of them so it will go back to them. I'm very pleased with this outcome! I wish it would've happened sooner, but I'm impressed with how this person dealt with it, and spoke well on the phone, and that they're willing to send a quick replacement for my order! So if they keep their box clear so messages can be received, answer e-mails promptly and people are able to get through by phone, I'd be even happier! :D I am back to being willing to recommend Queen Homeschool again! Thanks for putting up with all my ranting! I will post when I get the items, just to close it all off with a happy ending! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeinfl Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 and hesitated to post on this thread about it, but I will... I also made an order with them and received an email about confirmation of said order. After three weeks I emailed them and never received a reply as to why I hadn't received my order. Like you, I continued to email until I became desperate and also made a phone call. I received a voice mail in to which I left my message. I got a phone call a few days later and they claimed that they had computer problems and never received the original order...oh kay... Well, they mailed it out and I finally received it a few days later, but I will never do business with them again. I know they are busy, going through a lot, yadah, yadah, yadah...but I've read my share of complaints on this and other boards and this is no way to run a business. I will not be doing business with them again, but would buy their products at Rainbow Resource or at Timberdoodle. Well, that is my very personal and humble opinion and I just think it's fair to warn others that this is becoming a pattern lately with this company. Blessings!! Dee ps no flames please, it's my opinion and my experience. You may feel free to post your wonderful experience with them, but also please post when you haven't received your product in months/weeks and have had a bad one. Others deserve to know the chances they take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brindee Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Sorry for the double post, I have no idea how that happened!:confused: Yeah, if it's a pattern, then it probably would be better to order from the other sources. It's too bad, I LOVE supporting other homeschoolers! I hope they can "get their act together" enough for people to be able to trust them enough to order from them!

Misty Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 This happened to me last year when I tried to order from them. I don't think my account was ever charged even though I received a receipt of my order. I tried sending her e-mails, but she never responded. I never did receive my order and never heard anything from them. I think her son is battling cancer and maybe she is just REALLY distracted? I don't know.

Once I FINALLY got through on the phone, the person sspoke well, and followed through with getting my order out to me. It's just that now I need to try to call AGAIN to get this last thing.

Brindee Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Good grief! I tried calling off and on all day, and it always rang and rang. There's no answering machine to leave a message. It rings 15 or 20 times then goes into a fast beep so you have to hang up. I sent an e-mail an hour before they closed, and got no response. I think I tried calling about 6 or 8 times, and got the same ring-then-beep scenario every time. I'm getting more and more frustrated! This is just no way to do business! I looked at their stuff and it looks great to me! Why would they jeopardize people buying from them with such lousy service?!!! I just feel there is NO WAY I'd want to go through all this again, so I'd HAVE to find their stuff elsewhere. Such a good product, such lousy service----it seems they're shooting themselves in their own foot! :( Now I have to wait until Monday, again, to try to get through to them to get them to send my other Study Guide! This is really too bad, cuz I would've been very happy to share their name and product and tell people to order from them---But NOT NOW!!!

I was confused that they practically closed their booth early with 15 minutes left after last general session. I was able to get my little booklet from her, but it was weird having to ask if they were still open or not when none of the other vendors had packed up early. :grouphug: for all you're going through. -crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems if they aren't able to properly run a business then maybe they shouldn't be in business at all??I had considered pointing them this direction! I honestly really like their product, so I just can't figure this kind of service out! I'm sure there's SOMEthing they could do to better their service for others! They could at LEAST give a discount if I DO buy from them again! If I owned a business I'd offer them a coupon for a certain amount if someone had gone through this kind of thing! I know that when I was a teenager, working at McDonald's, my managers were very aware of customer service, and if something didn't go right with a customer, they'd give out coupons for free meals! In a scenario like mine, not just because it's happening to me, I'd think that a good company would be willing to "atone" for poor/REALLY BAD service in some way, to try to keep their customer happy and coming back!

Liza Q Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I wish that I had seen this thread last week as they were at CHAP! Although I have not ordered from them in years I often buy a few things from them at the convention. I like to support companies like theirs and I would have mentioned this thread to them! After hearing this I doubt that I will ever order from them again :glare: I did not see Sandi though I did see her husband and 3 of the older children. As for their son having cancer- it is a hard thing. Several times when things were very bad for our son my husband was able to take some time off from work so we could focus on our family.

Brindee Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 I DID get an e-mail from Sandi after I wrote the above post saying that they were sorry for the trouble, they are sending the study guide I didn't receive, and a free gift by priority mail tomorrow. GOOD OUTCOME! :D The e-mail was very nice, and, as I said their material look really good to me! I am writing them an e-mail with a suggestion or two and the link to this thread, for info. for them. I'd LOVE to happily tell others how good their materials are, and have them order from them, so I hope they can figure out the communication thing! :) Maybe they'll even respond here?

Brindee Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 UPDATE: I wrote an e-mail to the Queens, explaining what had been happening, and about communication problems I experienced. I received an e-mail back from Sandi. She apologized for what had happened with me, and explained everything. I think that I was just one in a thousand that accidentally fell through the cracks. It happens. Nobody's perfect! I'm sorry I complained--I was just wondering if anyone had ordered, because I wondered the background of the company, having never ordered from them. When I continued to have problems, I shared them as an ongoing saga, but I didn't mean to put them down. I have accepted their apologies, which, to me, means I trust that it was just a mistake and it won't happen again! So, PLEASE don't NOT order from them based on my experience (did I just slaughter the English language with that statement? :tongue_smilie:)! I suggest you try them out, support them as fellow homeschoolers! I would bet that you will have a great experience! When we are done with the materials I ordered, I WILL be ordering from them again---if I can do it, you should! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamato4 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 http://www.homeschooldiscountproducts.com/servlet/StoreFront I've never had a problem with this place. I used to know them as Children's Books. I hope I'm not in violation of anything by posting this link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
