    On 9/6/23 I was looking at this website & checked paypal for pay in 4. I clicked to return to clarifion. Immediately a order confirmation popped up. I tried to call ********************* them, but they never answered. I received a standard msg. Saying order was already processed and being shipped. While they were closed? They don't answer msg or call back. Then I read the complaints on BBB.Paypal now is sending collection msg for the ******. I have refused the delivery. Now I received a delivery notice that clarifion product is being returned to me. The product is dangerous too as it produces ion. I read that it causes the area around the outlet to become black. I don't want it & looking @ complaints on your website you are lucky to ever get a refund

    Thank you for your feedback.

    As per our records, we have communicated that we cannot under any circumstance issue a refund while a dispute is open.  Our records show the dispute is still active.  You can contact the bank and close the dispute and then we will immediately refund you.  If you choose to wait on the bank, and we are okay with that, then we are obligated to wait on the bank to avoid duplicating refunds.

    I canceled this order within minutes of getting a order confirmation that I did not want to order this. I msg said company, several times that night. I got a standard msg saying the order had already been processed & shipped overnight. The business was closed! Many msg later from me. Never a call back. I had to stop payment because I don't have the money. No tracking updates. When delivered I refused the pck. They marked it return to sender. This company then sent it right back. I'm on SSI (disability)  & food stamps. I shop @ food banks to eat. I am being bullied by this business.

    Business Response

    Date: 09/22/2023

    Thank you for the additional feedback.  We're terribly sorry if you feel bullied that is never our intent.    We are more than happy to process a refund once the dispute is closed as statement in the email.  This is the same process for all disputes - this is not personal.  We are doing everything we can to help you.

    Here is the body of the last email our customer service sent to you:  "As you know by now, we cannot under any circumstances, based upon our systems, to cancel any order even after 1 minute. However, you have every right to return the product for a full refund. However, it appears you took the route of opening a dispute. We can respect that but we cannot refund you while there is an active dispute. Why? Because if you win the dispute the bank will automatically refund you. If during that time we refunded you, you would receive a double refund.

    I do want to make sure you realize we have an A- rating with the BBB. We processing hundreds of thousands of orders. As you know there will always be dissatisfaction for some, but the greater majority love our brand and our products. I'm so very sorry that you do not feel the same way.

    I can offer you a full refund for CF537602 at $116.79 but you will have to close the dispute. If you do not, its absolutely okay, we can wait on the bank's decision."

    I ordered 3 units which I received a couple of weeks ago. I realized they emitted ozone so requested to return them. It is my understanding that I need a RMD number to return them and a return address which I requested by emai. I have not received this needed info. I tried calling but got hung up on. Please send me the needed info to return the items.

    Business Response

    I did not receive an email with information how to return my Clarifon units, nor did I receive a RMD number for the return.  I want to return 3 units.  This company had been totally non responsive and then just lied, saying they sent me an email.

    I ordered air purifiers from Clarifion on July 1. I have been trying to get an RMA number to return my order for a week. It is impossible to reach a live person at Clarifion. When I call, I press the option for inquiries on existing orders. I'm put on hold for 3 minutes and then I received a message that all reps are busy and I can call back later. I have called five times over the last week. I called one time an selected the option for sales and I actually reached a live person. He told me he couldn't help me and would have a customer service rep call me. No one has called. I've sent numerous emails and only receive an automated responses. I am just requesting help in securing an RMA number and instructions to return my order. I'm sure I will then need help with receiving my refund.

    Business Response

    Date: 07/21/2023

    I bought 12. After 5 months, 3 stopped working. I was told to clean it weekly with a microfiber cloth, which I did. Then, I was told to unplug it and put it into another outlet. I did it. Nothing. No warranty, no refund. Buyer beware.

    This product arrived at our home on 11/15/2022. It worked for a while, but now the light has gone out and we have a lot of dust. How long are these supposed to last? I thought they never had to be replaced. The other two are working as of this date. We are retired and cannot afford this price every six months!*************************** *********************************************************************************************** ************************

    I received the clairifion devices (3) about 2 weeks ago and noted a caution high voltage sticker on it indicating that failure to clean devices could lead to fire. Had I known this, I would not have ordered the devices. But I was still willing to communicate with customer support. But they have failed to respond to my concern despite two email messages to their support group.

    Thank you for your inquiry. Our support manager has sent you an email response to your combined email /chat questions.  A warning sticker is required on all electrical devices such as a blowdryer or a space heater etc.  However, we understand you are concerned. Our team has sent you an offer - simply reply to that email and we will proceed as you direct **.  Thank you
