Hi Sorry if this is the wrong place to post but could not find where I should place this one. I have sent several emails over two months to Bridaluxe and IMs without one reply. I have been trying to get payment on cleared publisher payments going back to July. It is not much $50 but I really would like to receive payment towards Christmas gifts. Is anyone else in contact with them? On the web site the only email is Jennifer's. Is there a problem with them? I am worried as one email can go astray but this is now months of no response. I hope they are ok.

Ditto here, also made phone calls. Very unusual. Hope someone can shed some light on this! Not a good sign, never had this problem before.

Moved this to the Unethical Merchants forum and updated the title. Let's see if we can get some attention to these issue. Please post here if you have having similar issues.

Bridaluxe is now owned by Hollis Interactive but it seems that Mark Malone or any other identifiable human has been removed from their website, Twitter & Facebook accounts. Apparently, someone's at the wheel as recent posts were made in Twitter & FB.

Hi Thank you for replying. I have left yet another phone message without any reply. I also contacted tuxedosdirect.com as I had just received notification of another sale and commission (ironically via a Bridaluxe KaChing email) and told them that I had not received commission from them via Bridaluxe for months. I asked if they could please pass on my email to them with a request for a reply. They sent a reply stating that they would forward the email. Nothing else was said. Again not heard anything. It is frustrating as the Advertisers are paying Bridaluxe but Bridaluxe are not passing on their payments to the Publishers. If Bridaluxe cannot pay out $50 then it is a serious cause for concern and someone at Bridaluxe needs to address it. Thank you.

Popshops.com has recently announced that they were dropping all Bridaluxe merchants as of 3/1/12. I have asked them why put haven't received a response yet.

Oh dear.... does not look good. Looks like we will be whistling for our commission payments. So sad as this is the season for great sales on Bridal items. I hope the advertisers find new companies asap. Thanks for the info.

Received a response from Popshops.com - We have several BridaLuxe merchant that have outdated product feeds. I have emailed all of the contacts we have for Bridaluxe and have not heard back for several weeks.

[windsorlass]

Thank you for the info re: Popshops.

The feeds are not being updated.... Is that Bridaluxe management or the Advertisers individually? I would assume that each Advertiser is responsible for their own product feed so why penalize the rest of the companies? Oh well the news does not seem to be good any way you look at it.

Thanks again.
Carol

Its the affiliate manager's responsibility to make sure that datafeed is working. There enough notices to flag an out of date regardless of networks. This is a downsize and unmanaged program.

[windsorlass]

Thanks Chuck

I haven't been paid either and my emails haven't been answered.

[Bridaluxe]

Hello -
My name is Angela Cirrone and I have recently started working for Bridaluxe. I am the new Account Manager working with our Publishers and Advertisers. Unfortunately, over the past few months I understand there has been a lack of communication on our end. We are in the process of restoring this communication with our Publishers and Advertisers.

I sincerely apologize for the issues you have had with Bridaluxe and am confident that these will not be repeated. My goal is to help fix these past issues so you will not have any going forward. Communication is key. Bridaluxe.com has been updated with my contact information so there will be no more trouble with getting in touch with Bridaluxe.

Checks for affiliate commissions will be going out today. I have also been in contact with Popshops and am hopeful that I can restore our relationship.

I am in the process of working with our internal team to ensure that the feed issues you have had are fixed.

Please let me know if you have any questions & how I can help to restore our relationship.

[windsorlass]

Sorry Rollerblader...... It would be nice if they responded and at least explained but I don't think we will be paid now.

[Rollerblader]

They're logged in and reading this post so someone is paying attention. I took screen shots of my last payment and what I'm owed...which isn't much to be honest. I have copies of the emails I've sent, etc... I have always been a huge fan and supporter of their network so I hope they respond positively, pay their Affiliates and begin to become a great network again.

[windsorlass]

Yes I hope so too. We all have problems and managing is not easy. If they are reading this I would say that it is better to explain what is happening. There is always a way to salvage things. Better to try and fix it and continue. People are very supportive when given the chance.

[Chuck Hamrick]

Angela thanks for stepping in. Your post was moderated as you hadn't posted before and added a signature to the post. I have cleared this up so now your post can be seen. Sounds like Bridaluxe wants to clear up these matters. When all who have posted here feel things are corrected we can move this thread to a better forum.

Hi Angela Thank you for the post. It will be great to have Bridaluxe back online. Awesome news re checks being issued. Good luck in your new job and I am sure you will get everything sorted. Take care. Carol

Thank you Chuck.

I will be working hard to reply to each and every one of your concerns. I know it will take time to rebuild the trust that has been damaged. Please know that I genuinely want work together to be a team and work towards your successes.

Hello everyone,

Could you please share whether all is now well with Bridaluxe? Did you all get your checks? Are the feeds fixed and Popshops still working with them? Has Angela picked up the ball and made sure everyone got what they needed? I have a post about the [link removed] and people are assuming the worst so we need some positive closure here and there so new potential affiliates know whether to proceed or not. Thank you.

[windsorlass]

Hi, I received an email this morning from Angela stating that the checks are being raised today and tomorrow so payment is imminent. I believe some affiliates have already received payment. I have sent an email to Popshops asking if Bridaluxe is coming back online. The companies that I clicked on had invalid product messages but Bridaluxe is still listed as one of Popshops participating affiliate programs. I have sent several emails to Angela and she has responded each time so I feel confident that someone in the company is actively working on our behalf. I know we walk a fine line between support and empty pockets but hopefully all they needed was some time to collect, collate and adjust.

[windsorlass]

Hi Just received a reply from Popshops: 'We are still working with Bridaluxe to resolve issues with their feeds. Unfortunately, I do not have a time frame for when this will be resolved.' So they are working on it which is good news. Let's hope it is resolved soon.
