Don't rely on express shipping
I have purchased from Ruby Olive before when they sold jewellery. I am always excited to support local businesses and placed an order for a gift for a teacher and paid the additional cost for express postage. In total the order was for $74. Six days later it had yet to be shipped. It still hadn't shipped as of this morning, and school ends tomorrow. Thankfully, the company called me today and has refunded my order. I have instead supported Amazon because they can guarantee delivery. I will have to deliver the gift on teacher only days during my work lunch break - my daughter will miss out on the privilege of handing it to her teacher herself. It is a shame I didn't check tracking before the weekend. I could have purchased something from a local gift store instead. My advice if using Ruby Olive: Allow plenty of time for shipping (even if paying express), and check tracking early. I would have saved myself so much hassle and upset if I had done this. No - I won't be relying on Ruby Olive in future. I've given two stars because I did receive a refund easily and quickly.
