Post-Delivery FeedbackSep 11, 2026
Dear GiftExpress Customer Service,
I want to begin by saying that I have always had wonderful experiences with GiftExpress. Your customer service has consistently been excellent, my orders have arrived on time, and I have always been impressed with the care taken in packaging my fragrances. I have purchased from GiftExpress on numerous occasions and have always been very satisfied with your service.
That is why I was particularly concerned with my most recent purchase of Rawaha by Al Absar (Unisex), Order #618582, placed on August 16, 2026, with an order total of $38.65.
I have purchased fragrances from GiftExpress, Jomashop, and other reputable retailers, and I currently have more than 15 fragrances from the UAE. All of the UAE fragrances I have purchased previously have had some form of identifying or authentication marking. The boxes have had a hologram sticker on the side or back, and the bottles have had a batch-code sticker or an engraved batch code.
Unfortunately, this Rawaha bottle has none of those markings.
There is absolutely nothing on the bottom of the glass bottle—no sticker, no batch code, no engraving, and no other identifying information. The box also does not have the hologram sticker that I have seen on the other UAE fragrances I own.
There is also a significant difference in the fragrance itself. After spraying the Rawaha, the scent lasts less than two minutes before it is essentially completely gone. I understand that fragrance performance can vary from person to person, but this is extremely unusual compared with my previous experiences with UAE fragrances.
Because of the combination of the missing hologram, the complete absence of a batch code or engraving on the bottle, and the extremely short-lasting fragrance, I am concerned that the product I received may not be authentic.
I want to emphasize that I am bringing this to your attention because of my previous positive experiences with GiftExpress. I have trusted your company enough to purchase fragrances from you before, and I would very much like to resolve this matter directly with you.
Could you please investigate this particular bottle and let me know how its authenticity was verified before it was shipped to me?
I would be happy to provide photographs of the bottle, the bottom of the bottle, the box, barcode, and any other details you may need for your investigation.
Thank you for taking the time to look into this. I appreciate the excellent service I have received from GiftExpress in the past, and I look forward to hearing from you regarding this particular order.
Sincerely,
Sir Bentley
