This was my first order from Benefit’s official website, although I’ve been a loyal customer of the brand for years through other retailers.
The package got stuck in USPS delivery and didn’t move for weeks. I contacted Benefit within a few days after noticing the issue. Their response came 26 business (!) days later. By that time, USPS had suddenly marked the shipment as “delivered,” even though it was never delivered.
The U.S. forwarding warehouse confirmed in writing that the parcel was not received and asked for an official Proof of Delivery. Benefit refused to request this from USPS and relied instead on a generic tracking screenshot anyone can access.
To add to the confusion, Benefit first told me the order had been returned to them, then later said this was a mistake and not related to my order.
In U.S. commerce, the seller bears the risk of loss until delivery is confirmed.
It’s remarkable that a brand would choose to lose a long-term customer over such a low-value order and clearly broken customer service process.
