    Date of transaction 12/4/2023 Amount: $577.90 Promised to provide 10 mini helmets needed as a gift for *********** football banquet on January 20, **** order completed on January 14th. because I was concerned and wanted to guarantee shipment arrived in time for 1/20/24, I requested it to be sent express overnight shipping either via fed ex or *** and would pay out of pocket for same. The owner ******************* called instead of replying to my email and refused and said no Im not going to do that. Rationale being Fed ex and *** problematic and has been in the business for 20 years and **** more reliable. He assured me and informed package being sent EXPRESS 2 day shipping thru ****, he mailed it out on January 16th but tracking showed it was sent regular Priority Mail which AND NOT by 2 Day Express guaranteed shipping as promised. Post office unable to track it until next scan, it showed in transit for 6 days! This morning January 22, **** received tracking update that package arrived in ****! Final destination suppose to be ******, *************.*** sent numerous emails and left numerous phone calls the last 5 days as well as today 1/22/24 all unanswered and ignored.If business had not refused and honored my request for fed ex or *** guaranteed overnight shipping, kids would not have been disappointed and left empty handed on 1/20/**** banquet.Package never arrived, kids were disappointed, ignoring my phone calls and emails is extremely unprofessional. I have no way of knowing if I will ever receive package at this point. I am requesting a complete refund, for refusal to provide requested shipping method and for the stress I endured trying to track package in time for event and pain suffering and disappointing who really matters in this. The students, football players.Owner received payment, shipped it the most economic way that benefited him, even though I offered to pay for the overnight shipping.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
