I ordered a what I thought was a replacement engine for a train, but then they started to sent the set for a whole new train, and charge an outrageous price. So I called and canceled, well even though I paid for the engine in one payment the other pieces were 3 instalments of $50 plus so they charged me again and I called again and that’s when I found out that each additional piece was this3 payment thing. So I asked if I hadn’t opened it if I could return it for a refund, sure they said so I did, over a month later and still no refund and now I get charged another payment, and they did receive the item back as I checked with Canada post. I thought this was a reputable business boy was I wrong is there any way to get my money back.?Business Response

Date of Transaction October 28 2022. I purchased 3 memorial coins, I am being told I owe for 2 of the 3 coins because my credit card did not go through. I called my credit card company and was told all items from the Bradford Exchange were paid on the date given and my card had never been denied. When I check my orders on the Bradford exchange everyone says paid by credit card. When I received the coins I got a letter saying I was smart to pay by credit card and the invoices were paid in full. I have sent the Bradford Exchange this information but they keep saying I owe the balance for two coins. Since my credit card has always been good, how can the Bradford Exchange say it was denied, especially when it was charged on the date in Question. I also asked not receive anymore coins but they keep being sent.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: When I check on the website of the Bradford Exchange in my items purchased it does not show I owe for any coins. When I asked my credit card company if any purchases from the Bradford Exchange was denied I am told no. I did recently receive another coin that said I owed payment on, I sent that coin back. This was after I canceled my order for coins from them. They have disregarded my wishes to stop the coins, have been rude to me on the phone, have shown no proof I owe for any coins. If you check the invoice of my ********** I sent you it shows on the time in question the amount was charged. I have repeatedly asked them to stop sending me mail. They keep sending it. I have read reviews and it seem other people are having the same issues of being charged extra for coins. Thank you for your help, I truly appreciate all your time. ***** ***

I am rejecting this response because: I do not understand what the Bradford Exchange means by the credit card was not processed. When I talked to someone at the Bradford exchange about why I was getting bills to pay, they said my card was denied. I called my credit card company and asked if my card was denied on the date in Question and it was confirmed that it was not declined and in fact that a transaction had gone through for the Bradford Exchange. According to my credit card company I have never been declined a transaction.Thank you for you time.

I am rejecting this response because: I have talked to CIBC to see if my credit card was denied when the Bradford exchange tried to put through the purchase of the coins. At no time was it denied and as proof I have already sent in a copy of my credit card showing payment in the exact amount of the coins. According to CIBC policy I have to wait to see if the transaction goes through before I can launch a complaint with them.i also so not agree to be sending the coins back, I have paid for my coins. If I send them back I am out the coins and my money.
I have sent back the last coin, issued. It is stuck at the post office. I sent it in January, not sure what is happening there as I used the returned shipping label from Bradford exchange.

The order was placed and received on Dec
4/2022 and it is now Dec 27/2022…. 23 days later after it said on your website that I would receive my order by Christmas!! This was supposed to be a Christmas gift for my wife and figured 23 days would be more than enough time to receive the gift by Christmas!!(21 days later). If s inexcusable that now I will be waiting another 5-9 days after shipment(which was the 21st) which begs the question, Why did it take 17 days from time of order to shipment? So after is said and done it will be close to. A month for delivery!! Unacceptable!!!This will be the 1st and last time I ever order anything from your so called business..Business Response

Hi there,
In March I received a notification from my credit watchers saying that I had a new collection in my credit Bureau, I logged in and got the phone number of the company and contacted them personally and they told me to contact Bradford Exchange as I owe them money! I contacted Bradford Exchange spoke with a lady and they realized they made a mistake and even refund me the same money I’m on collections for and I thought all this got resolved. But today applying for a loan this comes up again and it’s effecting my credit for the past 8 months, I called again Bradford Exchange today Dec 7 and they again told me I don’t owe them anything and I requested them to contact the collection company and they informed me they don’t do that I need to do it, so I did! And the collection company KDC will not take my word for and not remove the collections from my file. Please HELP ME.Business Response

I am waiting for a refund from this company who took my money with no problems. They also give horrendous customer service and reply back to emails between 11pm-1am which is bizarre! The customer service reps don’t read my entire emails and give the most generic responses and don’t actually answer my inquiries with details. I’m tired of trying to deal with them. I just want to know the status of a final order I made back in October that I still haven’t gotten and a refund for an item that I didn’t want.Business Response

Earlier this year, I purchased a celebration coin for the occasion of Queen Elizabeth's 75th Coronation year from the Bradford exchange of London Ontario. I thought this was a one-off purchase, and I did not want anything else. The coin was received okay, but about one month later I received a second package from them for a 'Prince Philip' coin and box, with an invoice for $92.94.
I wrote back to them and indicated I had not asked for this additional purchase. Since the box weighs almost 1.5 kg and is 31cm x 31 cm x 14 cm, and I did not order it, on principle I have no intention of paying for the return parcel post. I requested a pre-paid self-addressed label to send it back. I received another invoice in September, so I wrote to them a second time (copy of letter attached), again requesting a prepaid self-addressed label for either postal or courier return. I have not heard back on that request.
Today, October 24th, I've received a third invoice (copy attached). They seem to ignore complaints from customers, hence my letter to the BBB. I expect the next invoice will include a threat of a collection agency, so I would like to head this off.
My desired settlement is simply what I've requested all along - a prepaid self-addressed label to return the package, plus have them remove my name/address from their lists.
Thank you,
Geoffrey Strong
