David's Bridal Complaint

The only thing I bought there was a tiara for our flower girl (my 6 yo step daughter).  I get a call once a week from them to see if I've bought my wedding dress/bridesmaid dresses, my wedding is in one month and they have the date in the system.Now I keep getting calls that I'm registered to win a free bridal gift.  I googled the number and DB gives their info to these people for this weird contest thing.  My phone now rings 2x per day about this stupid prize.  I'm so annoyed!  Has anyone else had an experience with them like this?

Re: David's Bridal Complaint

  • That's annoying - did they make you feel out a visitor's form or something?  I always put fake numbers on those for this reason.  I hate getting un-solicited phone calls.

  • I got one from a Mary Kay lady. I never called her back, even if it was real. I didn't ask for it, so annoying.

  • Yeah, while I loved my dress they sold my name to every single vendor in the tri-state area, even after I requested they not. Call the store and complain if you want but, unfortunately, that won't get the vendors that they've already given your name to stop calling.
  • That's funny.  I never even stepped foot into David's Bridal and they called me 2 weeks ago to ask if I wanted to make an appointment to try on gowns.  My wedding is also in 6 weeks.  Luckily I've only gotten one call though.
  • Say you moved the wedding up when they call.

  • Nope.  When I went in and they handed me the info sheet I put in big block letters at the top "DO NOT CONTACT ME OR SELL MY INFORMATION."  I also told this to the lady who was helping me so there was no confusion.  I didn't have a problem.

    Just call me "Brothel"
    And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

  • I bought my dress there and got a ton of e-mails from them.  The only calls I got were dress-related, although they'd call with outdated information - like that my dress had come in, even though I already picked it up. 
  • I gave my information out the first time I went to a bridal show, not realizing what a mistake that was. I get calls from vendors all the time. The most came from David's Bridal, though. They kept calling me to confirm appointments and then when I called to say I never made an appointment, they would call a few days later to ask when I wanted to reschedule. I finally had to get a little mean to get them to stop. I also told them a hundred times that I already bought my dress! And it wasn't from David's Bridal!
  • A friend of mine and I both shopped at David's on the same day, and she got a call about a "spa day" that we'd won through Mary Kay.  It ended up being the most painful sales pitch I'd ever sat through, and I was mortified by the entire experience.Then, I got an e-mail from someone saying I'd won the same thing.  Yeah, I ripped her a new one.  She took me off her list, and I haven't heard back since.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
