Subject: Missing Order #028468390
Good Morning,
My name is , on August 17, 2018 I ordered 4 velvet durags in a variety of colors. When I placed my order the shipping was set to roughly 3- 14 days, it has been over a month. I would really appreciate if my order was shipped as soon as possible. If not, I will have to contact Paypal with a claim and request a refund. I would much rather receive my product simply because I love this product. I have been a loyal customer since 2016. My Order number is #028468390. I hope to hear from you soon.
