Once your recovery efforts fail you can refund the money to the buyer and file your insurance claim since this parcel was insured.
Re: Has anybody ordered from Shabnam Zahid of Silk Affair?
so now she has responded....I called her and her mom numerous times.........to resolve the matter amongst ourselves without posting thread. I posted when I was urged to do so.........right thing to do was to refund my money.....it was transaction that didn't go the way we planned and the parcel is insured so Ms. Zahid would not have to worry she would protected but what about me......should I have to wait endlessly and worry all throughout Ramadan for god knows where a package......she should be safe since she insured the package......what about me? the bottom line was I paid her CASH money for some dresses......she should have used a reliable service to deliver being that she is mature and experienced.......I am too trusting and immature (agreed...that is my problem). Return the Money.....it was a transaction gone bad......I asked her to do this......and you can see her response especially if she has been doing this for a long time and has a reputation to protect.
This is the second time this happened to me......first was last ramadan by a designer in India. Maybe this Allah's way of telling me this business is not for me. I give up....but please fellow guppans tell me if I am wrong to be apprehensive....it is $925 I purchased for myself and a few other people? Am I over-reacting? what was the reason to be so careless in using an unreliable service...had this shipment been from Pakistan I would understand.....but within the US?

Re: Has anybody ordered from Shabnam Zahid of Silk Affair?
Ms. Zahid said she located the package yesterday.......but has not returned my email or call for either the package or a refund........I had told her these were supposed to Eid clothes for me and some other ppl......she has repeatedly said to me that I cannot do anything to her and its not her fault. she has my money.....how is she entitled to that? Ppl does this sound ok with you when a supplier/vendor says that a customer cannot do thing if they don't receive shipment or get their money back? what kind of person says that? Please make gupshup a place where we can safely do business and lets get rid predators who prey and cheat on ppl looking for desi clothes.
Re: Has anybody ordered from Shabnam Zahid of Silk Affair?
I never said to stop posting in here...I told her that I am trying my best to locate the parcel and you keep urself busy in posting against me. I am not bothered. I have a proof that I have mailed the clothes so I am not a fraud or am not replying to ur messages......
Re: Has anybody ordered from Shabnam Zahid of Silk Affair?
$925 is huge amount of money.
Re: Has anybody ordered from Shabnam Zahid of Silk Affair?
WOW 
Re: Has anybody ordered from Shabnam Zahid of Silk Affair?
having proof of mailing clothes means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Since August 13th (when the package was mailed)....I don't have any shipment in my hands...it went straight to dead letter facility...for all I know you could have mailed a box with garbage in it.......and I have not even received that box........since then I have received shipment from Pakistan (in 2 days thru DHL)....I have mailed packages out and they been received in 2 to 3 days....did she mail from Siberia that I cannot receive......she tried to tell me that I was at not home to receive it (package didn't even leave Houston).
Hundreds and thousand of successful transactions take place everyday over the internet....aside from proof of mailing there should be goods hands to prove the point. Showing stuff on skype and then not sending it thru reliable postal service? I have definite proof that Ms. Shabnam Zahid received the money but I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT TONS OF AGGRAVATION AND GRIEF TO SHOW FOR IT. My biggest mistake was to initially believe her and the sad thing she has her whole family involved. What kind of designer engages in this kind of behavior? Would she have tolerated if she gave me dresses and I didn't pay for it....she would have gone after me with a vengenance.....she has used every excuse in the book.....including friends mother's death (innal..ilahi..........wa rajoon)....she has even said QASAM on her kids? What kind of behavior is this? I paid her for clothes she showed on skype and pics in the gallery....I expected them in return of money......simple as that......Now I expect dresses or my money refunded. I am not a lending institution. If she had any morals she would not continue with this nonsense.....the package is insured (she or one of many relatives didn't forget that in a hurry) go after that and put my out of my MISERY. It's $925....not $9.25 for me to let it go.... .that's what she thinks I will do......is SHE OUT OF HER MIND? I pray that I am WRONG and will receive satisfactory condition......I still hate to think we would have these type of Pakistani lurking around.....I have already I will give up selling clothes....Once again please pray for amicable end to this fiasco....
Re: Has anybody ordered from Shabnam Zahid of Silk Affair?
its just like me saying I already sent the check (if goods were received without full payment) so what if it gets lost the mail or doesn't clear? Hello would any designer tolerate that? nowadays in exhibition its either CASH AND CARRY or credit cards......so when she says proof what kind of proof is she referring to? having a receipt that says you mailed a box (that happened to go straight to Dead letter facility) means that you don't have your priority straight and don't care about your customer........the bad thing is that its BUYER BEWARE........her behavior immediately changed after payment was received.......responding to occasional emails and messages doesn't make any seller responsible.....its delivering the goods in satisfactory condition and on time that does. Now I will mistrust every seller I come across.......thank you for this experience Ms. Shabnam Zahid.

Since you have insured the package and will get a claim from the post office if the package is lost . Why don't you go to post office and start the process of filing the claim and keep the buyer posted on the developments. It is good customer service. In the end it is your duty as a seller to turn every customer into a satisfied customer . This buyer is devastated because she did not get an order worth about a thousand dollars which is not small amount in US either. Least you can do is make sure she gets her money back if the parcel cannot be located. This is the kind of consolation/tasalle you can give her which will give her peace of mind and that is what she is looking for now.

You need to tone down a bit also , from what you have told us and what has been posted here I see that a mishap happened which can happen with anybody so you need to co-operate with the seller also to let her save the face , I am sure she is embarrassed due to this mishap . I am sure since the parcel was insured you will get your goods or your money back , not in time but in due time. These kind of mishaps are common in business world and can happen to anybody.

[li]Sofia .you are right to suspect me due to your past experiences.Actually there was a lot of alteration needed.When the lady came with the alterations I refused to send u as it is. I thought its better to send them late rather send u the wrong thing.My problem is that I dont compromise on the quality. What do u think that being a muslim and in Ramazan specially I’ll do fraud with u?But just believe me that 2-3 shirts were not right sized thats why I sent them again for alteration.Otherwise I should have sent u as it is that would be wrong. But you are right till u dont get the suits ur suspect is 100% right.I were fraud then I should not have talked to u and should not emailed u or messaged u.If I would be at ur place definitely I would have suspected too but Ill be patient for a while. I know you have taken money from ur husband I am more worried for u. the lady who does alteration has not done it right due to time frame I gave to her.So when I was leaving she brought them again and I tols u that I am going to post them while going to the airpor as soon as I checked I wasnt satisfied.I went to airport and called my sister who is very good seamster and know each and every thing.I requested her to check each and everything in person because I wasnt there so check urself. she told me that they were not pressed properly and one of them shoulder was 15 so she took that shirt to the lady and got it right and now the shipment is 100% ready to post but the post office is closed.

here are the cases no any body can search…CA 106046701…is the final case no.

supervisor in Houston…713 226 3442
rcovery centre Minnesota…631 293 3735
sofia can call and ask abut the package which found damaged in Dallas I dont know why. she can tell them that she is the addressee.then she will find out the truth …
she called to the boutiques whom I supply in Houston and good good feed back as I am not wrong. but she is right as far as she doesnt get the shipment…
mishaps do happen but one should watch their acts and words in any case.
good luch to us both. I hope it resolves soon.
Re: Has anybody ordered from Shabnam Zahid of Silk Affair?
pacakage mailed on....13th of august
went to dallas...on the 14th..
found damaged there......reason dont know.
came back in hpuston on the 15th..but they didnt deliver to the sender.
went to dallas on the 18th and went to recovery centre atlanta.....
now they are trying to locate the package.........this is the latest update.
I have read blogs too regardimng this and found out that its a very common mishap....
Re: Has anybody ordered from Shabnam Zahid of Silk Affair?
I hope the matter gets resolved soon IA. when we drop the parcels at the post office and have a receipt, it is out of our hands but still we bear a responsibility to keep the customer informed. I got one parcel misplaced by DHL 2 months back. I had the tracking number and it never showed in the system. I even had to go to an extent to get a CCTV video for it from their headoffice for that date to know what happened with it but they showed the guy on the counter 'throwing' it in a heap of parcels behind him after giving the slip and the whole trolley was moved few hours later and the parcel couldnt be followed. Anyways, it was worth 65000rs (2 heavy dresses) and no insurance at all since they dont do it on regular basis here in pakistan. The courier company agent,knowing that I am a very frequent user, paid me half of the money and I made my customer new dresses. She was a lovely lady,very patient and kept saying it is all 'qismat' but I ddnt have to take advantage of that and Alhamdulillah she got her new dresses 2 days back.
another recent incidence, quite strange, is when I sent a parcel of 2 SS lawn suits last saturday and the customer got it ysterday BUT with ONE heavy formal dress which is not I made or sent :-/ the invoice attached on the box has her name printed with the right tracking number but it is mentioned ONE 3 pc suit instead of 2 !! she is a first time customer, really nervous and worried since they were for her and her sils eid outfits. I have been trying to follow at the courier head office but they are saying that this is almost impossible that the contents of the box are switched. Now we drop the packets labelled with addresses at the counter and take the slip,sometimes we get that tracking number the next day.we dont know who packs them and attaches the invoice on the box/envelope. that's something beyond our control and no one is to be blamed ! I am still trying to see if I can send her ready made dresses tomorrow so she can have them in time for eid meanwhile this matter will hopefully be sorted ofcourse someone will never want to have a lawn suit in place of a heavy karma copy dress :D and will definitely contact the courier company soon !
So there are things that are not in our control and go unplanned and need compromises from both ends to keep them at peace.
Re: Has anybody ordered from Shabnam Zahid of Silk Affair?
I have been very fair and upfront. She was in houston for limited amount of time. i specific told her what my requirements the dresses needed to be altered (shortened and and the shoulder, chest tightened). I told her I already work with a few suppliers but they are in Pakistan and sometimes dealing with them becomes difficult because of time difference. I found her dresses attractive and the fact that she was in north america so we would be on the same time zone. I am soft-spoken, direct person.....I do what I say. I got straight to the point....I told her I like her collection....could we do trial of 2-3 dresses to reduce my risk and investment......she didn't really entertain this idea.....next we looked and skype and I saw she has the dresses in her possession.......since she was leaving in 2 days I asked her POINT BLANK can the alterations and shipping done......she repeatedly assured that would be done ....she has a lady who does them....I then asked her payment and shipment..........she emailed me amount and for shipping charges $40. I then went to the bank that Shabnam Zahid has an account and deposited money in her bank acct. I called her to follow up and even told her it would take at least 1 business day for funds to be available and will she wait till then for alterations .......anyways.....she said package would be mailed in the night or next day........called her next day (the day she left and she said alterations were done and should indeed mail before she left. I have an email that confirms this.......then when I call her mom ....she says there was some problem with alterations.....she would mail that day or next day.......next day I call her mom says she will mail after Jummah Namaz......when I emailed her mother she responds saying that dresses were still not alteration but satisfication so she has turned over to another daughter who is seamstress and she would further alter and mail to me and also that she could not lift the package due to age. at the same time I get an email from Shabnam Zahid also saying another sister of mine has the dresses she will mail them to me in Canada and i will mail them to you? And mom and daughter keep on saying they compromise on QUALITY............I am now scared out of mind that who did I give money to........was I scammed.......finally then after my tone changes....upto this point I am calm and very soft-spoken.......(my husband whom I borrowed money from says that people from Pakistan think SHARAFAT equates to stupidity.......be very firm).
I told her I had enough......please keep the dresses and refund my money........they are boutique owners/designers.....surely they can sell to some locally. AFter that I receive a tracking number which puts my fears to ease somewhat.......on the 18th I receive notification of dead letter package..........
This mishaps may happen......but she has my money and she has the package insured.............WHY NOT REFUND MY MONEY NOW AND PUT MY FEARS TO EASE......SHE WILL be paid from the Postal office for the dresses anyway........AS A SELLER YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO MONEY UNTIL YOUR CUSTOMERS RECEIVES GOODS IN EXCHANGE........If I specifically asked for priority mail service what was the reason to go with parcel post especially if you see that its a first time buyer who is getting nervous.......The difference was only for $4.......I told Shabnam that I would pay her if there was any difference in shipping......if somebody deposited $925 in your bank account surely that person would have paid you back the $4.
PPL United Postal service is larger than DHL, FEdex, UPS combined! It is one of the most reliable services in the world. Yes despite this no system is FOOLPROOF. The US Postal Service comes to the house to pick up packages ---You can print mailing labels from home. Shabnam told me how she goes to post office and looks for best way to mail package and her mom mails packages all the time. Had I not given her money for mailing cost.....I would have emailed her an MAILING LABEL and had the postal carrier pick up package. I didn't do this because I had already given money for mailing and was afraid I would not get it back. I also could have used my FEDEX ACCT. TO PICK UP package.............Anyway, what is done cannot be done. For 4 bucks you wasted my time.....this was supposed to be my Eid dresses...plus I was going to resell the others..........transaction took place on 10th day of Ramadan....and now it is 26th Ramadan.......everyone's time is valuable and precious.....
My FEARS PRIOR TO MAILING PACKAGE PROVED TO RIGHT AS THE PACKAGE GOT LOST.......AND BECAUSE THE POSTAL SERVICE IS LARGE THIS CAN TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS..........I ALWAYS FOLLOW WHETHER I AM BUYING OR SELLING WITH SELLER OR BUYER TO MAKE SURE THEY DISPATCHED PACKAGE OR RECEIVED PACKAGE. There were mistakes made on the part of Ms. Zahid because she did not disclose facts........PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY AND REFUND THE MONEY NOW......YOU WILL BE PAID BY US postal service. What benefit am getting of waiting for weeks.....why should our money be blocked? ONCE AGAIN A SELLER (THAT INCLUDES ME if I am selling too) does not end until goods are satisfactorily received.........
Of course I will not receive goods in due time.....but please at least give my back my money so I can use it somewhere else. I am not charging you for time lost/wasted and mental anguish.
according to my postmaster these cases take weeks if not months........

It is not a very common mishap. (yes delays happen with all couriers including dhl, fedex.ups.) I have too have packages delayed because of weather.. but nothing like this.....the saying is you do get what you pay for...that is why my suppliers have always strongly suggest fedex and dhl.....I pay more but the peace of mind is worth it.........
.......again Ms. Zahid you do this for living.....as I stated to you earlier this is not my primary occupation.....I started doing this part-time because but I seriously doubt that I will continue.......PLEASE RETURN MY MONEY....I HAVE OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES...I have spent countless hours on the phone already....but I remain EMPTY HANDED....at this point I don't expect any dresses to come in the mail...just give the money back! Once i have the money I have no need to post anything about you these forums.
I AM FURIOUS & FRUSTATED!
Re: Has anybody ordered from Shabnam Zahid of Silk Affair?
@Mirch......I sincerely appreciate you trying to mediate. thank you. I am soft-spoken person by nature but I hate when people assume that I am IDIOT...If I paid for something and it did not come.....I am out of a substantial amount of money....I have accepted the fact that I will not get these dresses in time for Eid.....I cannot wear one and resell the rest.......I accept that fact and have already informed the ones who they were intended....offered them to buy from the stock I have at a reduced cost and have been able to "reasonably satisfy them" or they will buy elsewhere. I didn't take money from them so it was a bit easier.....that situation is taken care.....I lost potential "profit" but that's ok....we only get what is your kismat......but just return my money and go about recover your loss......she already had the money since the 10th of August.....we all need money for various things for this Eid. When I repeatedly hear its not my fault from a seller and its everybody else fault that doesn't send a good message to me. BELEIVE ME ONCE I GET THE MONEY, I WILL FORGET I EVER DEALT WITH SHABNAM ZAHID.....
I still think her collection was nice.......there is market for them.....don't waste time reading blogs and looking for needle in a haystack.....if the claim is filed wait to get her money. why should I continue to wait? next time consider listening to customer especailly they are paying for mailing costs.....2 priority boxes (medium sized $10.95 each would have easily accomodated 7 dresses) or a large box which is around $15. Again not foolproof but quite reliable. Don't send over $900 dresses thru less than reliable service.....parcel post (travels by truck while priority mail travels by air). This free and good advice....or consider getting an acct with UPS OR FEDEX (their rates are also competitive and there are discount for volume shipping). yeah for $9 worth of stuff it doesn't matter but for hundreds dollar worth of stuff don't skimp....especially if customer is paying....this is what happens...and honestly the difference between first class and priority is usually a dollar or 2....maybe thru parcel post savings might be more substantial...
Re: Has anybody ordered from Shabnam Zahid of Silk Affair?
Sofia u have so much time to write on this blog.......
I have your money and I am filing the claim.as soon as I get some response from them ill send you the money back....
If you are a true musli then you should believe another muslim.u made fun of my family and u thought I was lying that my friends mother was died....its your way of thinking.....I always called you back just asked you to message me one day as I was at the funeral . If I didnot want to talk to you why would I have asked ur number and I called you but you were in a hurry( I believe so I am not suspecting you)and you couldnt talk to me.....I have always informed you whats happeneing and all . btw you were polite when u were deciding but after that you were never polite you were very rude to my mother also and you can se eyour posts too.....u started threatening me that you were going to tell ur husband and all.I told you nobody could do anything if my " neeyat" was wrong......you write what ever you like. I am responsible for the goods till u get them so I am admitting, and yo paid $25 and the priority mail charges were $58.....I asked you $40 but you said no they should be around $25.....I want to spend time in get in touch with the posta services rather writing novels at the blog....I have a good reputation and I came to know that you have been calling to my customers and got a good report about myself but still ypu are not ready to accept the fact that mishaps do hapen....
Re: Has anybody ordered from Shabnam Zahid of Silk Affair?
send me back the money....and we don't have to deal with each other.......anybody can chk on usps.com and see how it costs to mail priority.....it doesn't cost $58 and flat rate box is between $15 to $20......I am not a good person agreed......just refund money and we can both go our separate ways......did it ever cross your mind that I might be in need of the money that is mine? either I would get goods and I would recover my money that way........not alot of ppl have amount money lying around.....yes, that is not pocket change. You might really have a good reputation and if that is the case please close this matter for your own sake.....I have no dresses and I have no money which I told my husband that I would use to make some income........YOu are not a friend or relative that I could look the either way and understand about problems.......this was simply an exchange/business transactions. Telling my husband is not threatening......any person who loses money and does have any goods will react the way I do. Again i don't know...you are not a friend or relative.....I have had friends and relatives to whom I have given money and they didnt get stuff but I let it go because I have some other relationship with them. I don't know what your issues are.......but I think you got too ambitious in selling the dresses and you should had some idea you would not be able to ship out on time......accept responsiblity....I did start to doubt you but you could have made a believer by choosing a reliable service instead you chose to really be cheap (and chose the least favorable service) WHEREAS YOU ASKED ME TO DEPOSIT MONEY IN your bank which was at least 30 minutes away from my house. Don't play victim and you have been my money.....you couldn't spare some extra dollars to get better shiipping -even when i told you I would pay the difference......you didn't lower price on anything.......everything is your way and you just care about yourself......You knew I was planning to resell those dresses.....couldn't you make go the extra mile to make sure that I had them on time.......YOUR BEHAVIOR SPEAKS FOR ITSELF....You promote yourself too heavily.....telling you are going to deliver bridal dress before time and stories on end......my impression because my particular transaction is otherwise....WHEN YOU KNEW I WAS GETTTING ANXIOUS ABOUT SHIPMENT COULDN'T YOU CALL ME AND ASK WHICH MAILING SERVICE I WANTED...and if I could have paid extra. I WOULD Have checked and told you.....I specifically told you several times (i have emails to prove point) that I wanted Priority Mail. As Mirch said you could have made a doubtor a believer but once again your actions speak for themselves. I never asked for insurance.......Just more REliable service.......YOu protected yourself.....Only Allah know what is in your heart and mind.....JUST RETURN THE MONEY and because I don't have package in hand ....your mom said it will come back to your address only? how much sense does that make.......Nobody who has lost such a large amount of money can rest until they get back
Re: Has anybody ordered from Shabnam Zahid of Silk Affair?
and don't forget you contacted me on facebook........and wanted to do business immedately IN THE middle of the night.......there is a way of dealing with first time customers.....in your limited time in HOuston you repeatedly everything would be done on time and then blamed seamstress, your sister schedule, and finally the postal service....none of the responsibility falls on your shoulders.......THE PROOF CAN ONLY BE IN PUDDING.....UNTIL THEN EVERYTHING IS A KHAHANI to unknown person...next time don't be in such a hurry to do deals with people...yes, it is my mistake too.....I told you numerous times I did not want shipping from Canada.....and shipping from pakistan is costly too.....for this reason I asked only for 2 dresses and then if i liked them I would have become a repeat customer.....but you killed the deal...sometimes a small deal is better than a larger one......you kept on showing dresses....kept on marketing.....I fell into trap and i am paying the price for that.
