Y esterday, I received my first wedding scam attempt (guess my latest marketing and advertising efforts are starting to work). I received an email from an "Irish" bride-to-be whose fiance was offered a job in the U.S. and needed help planning a small wedding in New Jersey. I vaguely remembered hearing of certain swindle attempts on wedding vendors (especially photographers and videographers), so my radar peaked immediately, however, I didn't jump to any conclusions right away. I responded to the email, drew up a preliminary proposal, quoted cost of service and submitted an invoice for payment. Nonetheless, when it became apparent that the bride-to-be and her French fiance only intended on mailing a cashier's check, I knew right away what I was dealing with ... a scam! I happen to know that international cashier's checks are not fully validated for 90 days. So even though the check may clear at first, if found to be phony, the money is later deducted. I must say, i

One thing that's good to know is that your package will most likely come long before the "estimated" date M&Ms gives on the website. Mine came very promptly.

So sorry to hear you were disappointed with your M&Ms. I've been disappointed in the personalized options in the past, but truly thought they had made modifications and improvements with the "Shimmer Collection."
I wish this had turned out better for you, but THANK YOU for your feedback. Hopefully other brides will take heed and take caution.

I called M&Ms today and they said they were sorry and offered me a refund. When I asked if they would refund the shipping (pretty expensive at over $16!), they were less willing...but a little persistence paid off! They refunded the ENTIRE order (including shipping), and helped me place a new one.
I have an up-close shot of the bad M&Ms if any one would like to see...I suppose they'd work for some people but, I am pretty particular! Let me know if you'd like to see.
Best,
Alex
