Unethical Practice? Gluten Free Palace

My wife went online and ordered about $200 worth of BiAglut pasta from Gluten Free Palace last night.

They held the money on the card and then sends her an email stating that they are closed until October 10th in observance of holiday.

No where on their website does it state they are closed, and no mention of it until after the order was placed via email.

We could not even cancel the order stating it was already being processed. Tried calling them and get the answering machine they are closed until October 10th.

Called the CC company to get the charges removed but if they are going to be closed and not processing orders for 11 days they should have a notification on their website before having people place orders, especially for food stuffs which are time sensitive and then telling you after the fact they are not open.

If you get no response from the company, contact the Better Business Bureau. Using a holiday as an excuse to be closed for more than a week sounds fishy.

Since the brick & mortar store is in Brooklyn, you might try the BBB in NY.

Maybe its a small company and they are taking a vacation? Would have made sense to put that in big letters on thier home page.

If they have an actual store, maybe its still open? You could call them?

It is Sukkot, so if they are stricter Jews (not sure I said that right), it is hard to have a business during this time.

I'm pretty sure its for the Jewish holiday.

They are free to close as they please but they should have at least put it on their website BEFORE you order that your product will not ship for 11 days after placing the order.

It must be for a certain sect of Jew's because the next thing I did was called a few of our Jewish customers we had scheduled for work this week and wanted to verify they would be in and had no idea what I was talking about not working.

We are middle of moving so we ordered early enough so that we thought it show at the new address before we moved to the new.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      Am I nuts?

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      @GlorietaKaro, your respiratory reactions to gluten make me wonder if there might also be an allergic (anaphylaxis) component at work here.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352
