    I have a small business ideation/incubation and reached out to this business for potential product. I inquired about wholesale business, private label. Due to needing to actual observe the product firsthand to see if they would be a good fit for the business, I ordered what I identified in my email correspondences to be samples. I had some scent combinations that I wanted to try blending for business. I farmed for more information and received responses from the appropriate Alt Fragrances staff. After volleying via email, I ordered the particulars and when they arrived, I noticed the bottle had room for potential leakage, the sprayer wasn't quite as efficient as I would've liked, and the quality wasn't what the quality level for me. I went about seeking the return of the items, reasonably for refund, as I had not used the items at all, and as a traveling salesperson, navigated how to return fragrance items upon the pickup of their delivery. When I reached out, I got an email detailing instructions, which I followed prompts until it requested photo of the products, which I wasn't expecting. I was able to get back in front of the products since I was out of town and take the requested photos, including shipped package mailer they came in. During submission of requested materials, the return link had changed, it now had dubiously featured "expired" links, no longer showing them as available for return. Considering how I had initially contacted this business to be a prospective client, I immediately viewed this as deceptive tactic, because attempting to wear out rightful refund requests with website barriers is harmful to trust in customers, let alone potential business partners. I definitely was transparent on my part of trying to get the right fit, evaluating if their product in either wholesale or white label method would be best. To be handled this way is a turnoff, and I am requesting refund as they are unused, unfair response that it can be store credit only.

    Business sent incorrect order. Attempted resolution by emailing and subsequent follow up without response. 5 emails were sent by me to their support email alias.

    Ordered cologne from the company on 11 November and given a tracking number. When I looked at the tracking number, it stated the order is waiting to be fulfilled. I reached out ove a week later enquiring about my order and was told they were looking into it but it's been three days now and no one has responded. They don't have a number to reach them on either..

    May 2024 I ordered online at ALT, 3 bottles for their $99.00 special. In October I received only 2 bottles one partially empty and both boxes were moldy and damaged bottles. I tried to contact them and after disputing with my bank found out they have 100s of complaints filed against them on FB and Instagram for the same issue, They finally reached out to let me know they are refusing a refund. The bottles and boxes are full of mold and dangerous to handle. They are fraudulently mailing out damaged, ***** used products than trying to get us to pay postage back and only will offer a replacement.

    I purchased 1 bottle to try and 5 purchases popped up on my credit. 3 from alt fragrances for varying amounts and 2 from a ******* **** which appears is who started this business. Thankfully my bank recognized the ******* **** ones as fraud and declined them but the other charges need fixed. Sounds like they have done this to many others as well.

    I purchased cologne from ALT. fragrances on September 19, 2024 for $45.95 after tax and received email confirmation. Im active military stationed in ***********, so the shipping address is to a PO Box in ***********. On September 20, 2024 I received an email that the product was ready to ship. The email contained tracking information that said **** was waiting to receive the package. On 24 September, 2024 I received another email saying the shipment was delayed- tracking number still said waiting for **** to receive the package. I wrote the customer service at this time to see what was going on; I was assured that everything was fine. I followed up on 27 September, 2024 with no change. Then followed up on the 30th- no change. On 2 October, the representative I have been speaking with via email considered the package lost, and asked for me to confirm my shipping address for a replacement, which I did. After that never got any confirmation emails of a new shipment, and told the representative that if I didnt get confirmation of shipment within 48 hours I wanted a refund. Havent heard since; wrote on Friday stating I wanted a full refund, no response.

    Ordered 5 bottles on 8/20/24 and paid extra for 2nd day air to be delivered 8/22/24. This company had come highly recommended to me. Shipment was lost by ***. I received two other shipments from different companies by the same carrier in same time. I filed a claim and ALT did not respond to their end of the claim. I sent a complaint email and finally they responded. They noticed my shipment still had not been delivered 8 days later and finally they respond and send a ***lacement. The ***lacement shipment sat for 6 days in an unknown shipping label created but not picked up status. I sent like 5 emails following up and received the same generic AI response from **** who is either the worst, most incompetent customer service *** in history or is just a program. Finally after 6 days it updated tracking and will arrive in another 6 days. They lied about which shipping provider it would be 3 times, first telling me **** then ****, then ***. All with the same tracking number and none of which actually tracked until today when it said it would be here in another 6 days. I am beyond disappointed and this is about principle. I PAID FOR EXPEDITED SHIPPING AND I DIDNT LOSE THE ORDER. THE CLAIM WAS APPROVED AND YOU GOT YOUR MONEY BACK FOR EXPEDITING SHIPPING SO YOU OWE ME THE SAME. SO FAR I HAVE PAID IN FULL FOR 5 BOTTLES WITH EXPEDITED SHIPPING AND HAVE STILL RECEIVED NOTHING EXCEPT AUTOMATED REPLIES AND EXCUSES. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY AND REFUSE TO HIRE ACTUAL PEOPLE TO FIX YOUR PROBLEMS. THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM. IT WILL BE A MIRACLE IF ANYTHING SHOWS UP AT MY HOUSE. SCAM LIKELY. NO ACTUAL **** TO HELP YOU. THEY STEAL MONEY. .

    I placed an order for a fragrance, order #ALT1495138, and initiated a return of the item on 7/31. I was told the return request was approved (RMA4431438) and that I would be responsible for paying to ship the item back to the company and once received I would be provided store credit. I shipped the item back to the company via **** with tracking number ********************** and the item was received by the company on 8/10. I contacted the company via email starting on 8/16 to inquire about the status of the return and store credit and from there I have been getting the run around from this company. A back-and-forth conversation via email has been occurring since 8/16; however, every time I contact the company, I am getting the run around as they continue to ask questions that I have already answered, but will not issue a store credit or refund. To date, I have not received store credit or any compensation for the return. Now, they are not responding to my emails at all. I have paid for shipping to return the item to the company and they have had the item for over 2 weeks so I am confused as to why they have failed to provide compensation for the item. I am requesting a full refund of the item as this is highly unprofessional and does not look good for your company.

    Ordered a product on 5/11./2024 for $ ***** and was charged 3 times on my Credit Card. E-mailed within an 1/2 hour to cancel order since 3 times charging is a red flag. Due to multiple e-mails not to ship this product - it was shipped anyways product was immediately returned.Asked for refund and was told no refund just gift card or different product.I do not want a gift card nor do I want a different product, people are reporting rashes.This company scams people literally out of money and safe guards themselves with not so clear terms and conditions. When they get certain complaints their Website gets an update. Example: I recall that when you cancel your order immediately with in hours, money will be refunded.That was changed on the Website. You order, you get charged and according to my ******************* you enter their Terms and Condition.I paid $ ***** plus $ 10 in shipping and have nothing - and they can keep my money.
