It truly pains me to write this review...
It truly pains me to write this review, because I purchased from Studio Pia a number of times over the years and loved all my pieces. When they announced they were shutting down, I was so sad. And then when they announced they were able to resume operations on a preorder capacity, I was ecstatic and placed an order and received it with no issues!
Then, last December, I placed an order during a supposed Black Friday sale for a piece that was meant to ship in January. I received daily emails about sales. January came and went, the months passed by, the item's listing on the site still said "ships end of January." I tried to email them. I tried to DM on instagram. They have their comments off, but there is a comment on every one of their recent posts talking about an unfulfilled order in which they'd filed a claim with PayPal, to which the company claimed they'd sent it.
I finally gave up and filed a credit card dispute. They told Visa the same thing: that they'd shipped the order. I got no shipping notification, no tracking, and the order still says "preparing to ship." Their social media has been dark for months, DMs and emails go unanswered.
It seems clear to me what happened: they went under, and are refusing to tell their customers and refusing to refund preorders they'll never be able to fulfil.
It's sad what happened, but it's scummy to just ghost everyone and take their money—hundreds of dollars of it. I was a loyal customer for years.
