***April 21, 2022— UPDATE ON WISH PICK UP ORDERS***
I have several Wish packages that were not picked up prior to the storefront closing. If you are one of these WISH customers, I apologize for the delay and any inconvenience in these packages getting to you. I have made multiple attempts to contact WISH to try to work with them to obtain contact information for these customers to make pick up arrangements. Since we were a satellite pick up store location only, we are not provided the names or contact info for each shipment that is delivered through the WISH app. Considering the hassle this has created for many, even if Wish has refunded you for your package(s), whether in part or whole, please contact me via FB messenger or through the whatsup app to discuss your order. I have been making arrangements for customers to pick up their Wish packages.
_________________________________________________________________

I wanted to provide an update to Wish customers who have had or expecting to soon have their items shipped to our storefront for local pick up. Since we do not work for Wish directly, we are provided very limited information on customers contact and product processing information; therefore, we are fully dependent on Wish to reopen orders and correct or reimburse issues with refunds, fees, re-listings, and other Wish operations. Wish reps are unreachable by phone for both customers as well as our company, which I understand has been a frustrating and inconvenient process for many. I’m continuing to follow up on each customer support ticket regarding these re-listed/overdue Wish items— that are unable to be picked up under the typical procedures. I would also like to further clarify that re-listed does not mean your items have been returned or shipped out elsewhere. It simply means they are being held at our store but Wish doesn’t allow us to release these items without us being able to scan the customers QR code for that item. However when items are re-listed/overdue, the customer QR codes do not accurately scan to allow for pick up.

With that said, the circumstances around Wish orders being re-listed/going overdue has been mostly related to items being unavailable for pick up within the Wish timeframes, at no fault of Wish customers. I fully acknowledge the inconvenience our sudden store closures at various times has created for Wish pick ups especially. Because of this, I have been accommodating recent pick up orders however I can by providing an alternative verification process and scheduling personalized pick up times for orders. If you would like to discuss pick up options or have any questions or concerns, please email me at [email protected] or for a faster response, feel free to leave a message through FB messenger.

I appreciate all the patience, prays, kind words, and messages from so many offering support and understanding during this difficult time. I hope to be able to provide an update soon on the status of our business hours, events, and overall operations.

Warmly,
Cat Mansfield, Owner
Ciao Bella Collection

I apologize for not making an earlier announcement on here to provide everyone with an update. Unfortunately at this time, I am not sure when we will be reopening. I have had significant personal and family circumstances that have led to me not being able to commit further time right now at the store or into the business itself. I have paused all Wish orders so you will also notice that we are currently not a Wish Local Pick Up Store being offered at checkout for future orders any longer. I am still working with Wish on prior orders awaiting pick up and would like to assure those people who do have orders to pick up—that your orders have not been returned and are still at my store.

It is disappointing for me and so many others that were going to be involved in, attending, and looking forward to all of our planned events and store offerings that were not able to happen. Due to unfortunate unforeseen circumstances, many adjustments have had to be made and the future of Ciao Bella Collection is uncertain right now. With that though, the vision I have and all that will come and has already come from Ciao Bella is still very much alive!

I apologize for any inconvenience any of this may cause. I appreciate all the support, kind words, and understanding from everyone who has reached out.

Warmly,

Catherine Mansfield, Owner

If you have Wish packages being shipped to our store:

Please contact us at [email protected], as we don’t have access to any Wish customer contact information, even when we receive your packages. We will continue to receive your packages and scan them in upon arrival to our store. I have reached out to Wish and notified them of our unexpected temporary closure. Considering the circumstances, I have requested for Wish to reopen all re-listed items that were not able to be picked up in time due to this period of closure. Upon reopening, we will discuss additional accommodations that can be made to ensure convenient and prompt delivery or pick up of all Wish items.

To everyone inquiring about events and our upcoming Grand Opening:

We have new inventory and EXCITING events coming to the store and cannot wait to share it with you all!

Sorry for any inconvenience this poses and thank you to everyone who has reached out for your support and understanding!
