How can they send emails with tracking info for a delivery for a product that they dont even have Im beyond frustrated and had extreme inconvenience and lost of wages because of what they did. Not to mention that they used my money for 2 weeks, when I could have accrued interest on it They offered a full refund, which I have not received yet, but I would request that they pay for my inconvenience, list wage, and interest lostBusiness Response

I purchased a tv on December 3 during a cyber Monday promotion. The order was confirmed and I was called for a scheduled delivery on Friday, December 6. Thursday evening, December 5 I was called and told the delivery way cancelled and the item was out of stock. The representative then told me I would be given the newer model for the same cost. Today on Friday December 6 the order was cancelled and I was told I would have to place a new order and pay the higher price. I would have purchased from another retailer if I had known the hassle I would go through, but now all of the sales are over and Im not able to buy the same tv at the lower price.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:I received a call stating they would now allow me to purchase the newer model of the tv and they would credit the difference to match the cyber Monday sale. However, when I go online to purchase the newer model of the TV it says out of stock online. I cant help but think they are just trying to drag this so I will give up.

I purchased an outdoor umbrella online, I received it and went to install the umbrella and notice it was broken. I went to the store to return the item and also asked for my money back for shipping, they basically told me sorry I am SH out of luck, that is not the way to treat a customer, they could have given me a strong credit, not my fault that the umbrella was cheap garbage.

I purchased a Beats Fit Pro headphone set from Brandsmart because I lost my headphones. My headphones were found hours later, and I returned the newly purchased headphones hours later for a refund. The manager (**** ******) asked if I had the packaging of the box and I informed him that I did not. I informed him that the serial number for the headphones would match the receipt. The manager must not have liked my reply because he informed me that he would take 20 percent off the price, and I informed him that I just purchased the headphones a few hours before. Then, he became more defensive and informed me that he, as the manager, had the authority not to offer a refund at all. I informed the manager that I would make a complaint and seek to resolve this matter at a higher level. I believe that he lacked professionalism, and his customer service was selective in customers since other customers were returning items with open boxes without retaliatory behavior. I seek a refund for my purchase and request that Mr. ****** be retrained to give good customer service without retaliation.Business Response

I bought a double wall oven from them in June of this year. Since it was installed I have had nothing but issues. I am a ***** and use the oven daily. the doors will come ajar mid use and the exterior gets so hot that you burn yourself. The service department is an absolute joke, all they do is send emails to managers that are never answered. They also refuse to let you speak to a manager as they say there are none on duty. After having a technician come and diagnosed the problem over a month ago I called 11/18/2024 to see what was going on. I was told my service appointment would be the following day and to expect a phone call that evening with a time. I never received a call but waited at my home all day, no one ever showed. The following day I call again and am told that a technician was at my hom and knocked but there was no answer, which is a blatant lie as I live in a gated community where access is only granted with my permission. The service department has sent 3 emails now with no response. I call again today and am told that not all the parts are in. All they do is take your money and give you the run around. This company does not stand behind its products.Business Response

I have previously filed a complaint on this matter, which i thought was resolved as I was granted a replacement. I went into the *************** store to order a replacement on December 26, 2024. I was told a 5 week wait as it was special order. 5 weeks has turned into 10 and I am still without an oven. I try calling and all they do is transfer me from one department to the next.

Complaint: 22604282
I am rejecting this response because:I was on the phone three times last week with brandsmart. The last call I was informed that I need to have the oven uninstalled before they will deliver the new one. I have paid once to have the broken oven that they have sent me installed already. Now I am expected to pay to have it uninstalled and then pay again to have it reinstalled. There is no way that I can uninstall an oven that took 3 grown men to install due to how heavy this oven is. The last time I spoke with someone at brandsmart I was told a manager would call me back that they were in a meeting. That was Thursday last week. It is now almost a week later and I still haven't heard from that manager. It is unacceptable that I have to pay 3 times to have an oven installed and uninstalled. The new oven i selected is also less expensive then the oven that I have already paid in full and I am not being credited the difference.

I am rejecting this response because:***** was very helpful and I had high hopes that this would finally be resolved unfortunately that is not the case. We had made arrangements that the oven would be picked up, delivered and the new one reinstalled. I had the appointment scheduled for today. I just received a phone call from the installation company that brandsmart would not or did not pull the oven from them to collect. Also last week they attempted to deliver the oven to my home when I was out of state even though I had called once again and told the lady the arrangements and they they were not delivering the oven. She assured me she would cancel the delivery but she failed to do so.

We purchased a refrigerator, with the extended warranty. The week before the warranty expired, the refeigerator started leaking water from the ice machine. The tech came out & found there was also ice in the back & the freezer's ice machine wasn't functional. (I thought my husband turned it off) He said it needed 3 parts & would come back once they're in. A week later, I find out he never ordered the parts. A few weeks later, he comes back & said "they" didn't send all the ********** can only install the parts they send. He said he couldn't do anything more & I would have to call to put in a new ticket to get the rest fixed. Whatever he did that day didn't fix any of the issues, so I still need the entire unit fixed. They had to do a recall ticket (which took 5 phone calls because they were fighting over who will now pay for the service). Finally, the recall is approved & they send him back out to access the unit. He no shows, but then comes the next morning & confirms all 3 parts are still needed & nothing is fixed. Then, 3 days later to learn he didn't order the parts yet again. A few days later, I have all 3 parts on my *********** waiting for them to come in. Three weeks have now passed. Last week, I received a text saying I was on the schedule. I didn't understand that, since I had called that same day & knew the parts were not in. No one showed up, which I am told is because the parts weren't there, but in this process, it closed out the ticket! So, then I had to have it reopened, but the parts were not attached to the new ticket. Finally, someone agrees to copy them over from my previous ticket. Fine. 2 phone calls later, I find out only only 2 parts were transfered over! This upsets me. I am told someone will call me back, once they speak to the tech & confirm I actually need the additional part. No one calls. Now, they will not answer my calls at all. They pick up and just put it on hold. I sat on hold for 30 minutes without being greeted today.Business Response

Since I submitted the complaint, they did send a technician to the house to repair the refrigerator. There is still a block of ice in the back, so I am not certain if that part is fixed or not, but the ice maker in the freezer is now working and the ice maker on the door is no longer leaking. Someone from Brandsmart called me today to see if everything was repaired properly. I assume they were notified of my complaint and it sparked them to suddenly care, so thank you! At any rate, I told them about the ice block and they told me to call if it doesn't melt. ????? Lol I will do that and hopefully no further action will be needed.Customer Answer

They did, in fact come out, and I spoke to someone at Brandsmart about that. I told them the ice maker issues were fixed, but there was still a block of ice in the back of the refrigerator. I was upstairs on a medical zoom call, when the tech arrived, so I did not know if he chipped away the ice block or not. I asked my husband about it last night and he said the entire panel was replaced, so this is a new piece of ice forming. I do not know why this is happening with the new part, but it is. The tech told me previously that this is NOT factory standards, so Brandsmart's reply is not true. The refrigerator has only been partially fixed. Picture attached.Business Response
