My Experience with Andaaz: A Wedding Shopping Saga
My Experience with Andaaz: A Wedding Shopping Saga
Initial Order and Disappointment:
My saga began in August of 2025 when I placed an order with Andaaz for two outfits intended for an upcoming wedding. The first was the Priyanka Chopra Light Pink Chanderi Silk Anarkali Suit.
Quality Check Issues and Forced Exchange
Shortly after placing my order, I received an email from Andaaz informing me that the Priyanka Chopra Anarkali suit had failed their quality check. They told me I would need to choose a different outfit, as they would not refund my money. Despite this, the item continued to be advertised on their website. I decided to select the Nargis Fakhri Hot Pink Georgette Saree with Velvet Blouse as a replacement. Within a couple of days, I was notified of a pricing error and was asked to pay an additional amount, which I did.
Problems with the Custom Indo-Western Suit:
When the custom Ruby Red Soft Silk Indo-Western Straight Pant Suit arrived, it was significantly off in size. I sent numerous emails to various team members at Andaaz, essentially pleading for them to resolve the issue. Eventually, they offered a mere 15% discount toward having it altered, which amounted to $60. No one in the U.S. would fix it for that price, so I had to pay more out of pocket. By this point, I was unable to wear the outfit to the wedding.
Issues with the Saree:
Due to the earlier problems, I paid little attention to the saree initially. When the time came to wear it, I discovered that the saree sizing, color, and pattern were all incorrect. The saree was too short, making it impossible for even Nargis Fakhri’s height (5’7”) to wear comfortably, and the color was not hot pink as advertised.
Ongoing Communication and Lack of Resolution
Since then, I have contacted the Andaaz team multiple times via email. I am not seeking a refund; I simply want to receive the saree as advertised and avoid any bait-and-switch tactics. The team has refused to comply, claiming that the issue is beyond the allocated time for action. I never expected that they would make short sarees to save fabric, which is unacceptable. Andaaz must improve their quality control processes. Thank you.
