      Clear to the point. I ordered an 8lb ham and received a 7lb 6-ounce ham (with plastic bag and foil still on the ham) weighed on my culinary kitchen scale—order # *********. I contacted Chat customer service, and after explaining I wished for a refund for the difference (not an entire refund), Lamecia hung up. So, I chatted back, and ********* just said sorry, your ham does not weigh the proper size only. I asked for a supervisor. I was refused and told to call ************, which she said the supervisor said to call. So why chat if you send valued customers to a phone number so they can wait and hold? Why send me a ham that was not the weight I ordered?

      I have sent your comments to our Customer Service Manager.

      She will be refunding you $20.00 for the difference in the weight of the ham you received and the ham you ordered.

      Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

      I went online to Honey Baked Ham to place a pickup order on Oct.8,2024. The website asks to better assist you put in your zip code. I selected the store in my area. I ordered a half boneless ham and was provided with an online calendar to select a day and time for pickup. I chose Tuesday Oct. 15, 2024, and a pickup time between 2:00 pm - 2:15 pm. I paid for the ham $57.92 with my bank card. I received an email confirmation that my order had been placed (this is one of the documents I uploaded). As promised by Honey Baked Ham, I received two reminder emails on the day of pickup (this is one of the documents I uploaded). When I arrived at the store it was being remodeled and was closed. I called Honey Baked Ham customer service the next day due to the time change they were closed on the 15th when I arrived home. The person took all my information to complete a form they needed to submit for a refund and said I would receive an email concerning the issue. I never received an email. I went online today the 21st to Honey Baked Ham and did a chat concerning the issue. I was told I would need to contact the store because they can only see online orders not store orders. It was placed online and this is the policy on their website. "We accept orders online based on time availability for pick up at your selected HoneyBaked store. Orders placed within three hours of store closing will be available for pick up the next day with the next time available. You are welcome to place your order online 24/7. In the event of a store closing due to unforeseen events, we will contact you and confirm the next availability for pick up." This obviously is not the case and with a store being closed no one is answering the phone to be of assistance. I am without a ham and without my money.

      No honey baked ham close to me. Drove across town to regency location to use my coupon for 50% off slices. None in store. Around Christmas the mandarin location would not let me in the store because I did not have a reservation. For a store that sells hams as their #1 product you sure make it difficult to purchase one.

      Why was I charged a $3.00 convenience fee when I picked up my prepaid ham on 3/29/24 at store 4107 in ********** ********?Big deal that there was a $4.09 discount!!!

      ******,

      To continue to offer a faster guest pick-up experience and inventory preference, a $3 Convenience Fee is added to prepaid transactions over $25. This is to cover the increased costs for this service at our retail locations.

      Thank you for choosing HoneyBaked.

      I purchased a ************ from Honey Baked Ham online o. 11/08/23. I was told by the nearest store in ******, ** that I could only order an unglazed Ham online by putting my request in the comments section and that I couldn't order over the phone, so I went to their website and ordered there, however, there was no way to indicate my preference for an unglazed Ham, so I placed the order called the corporate office less than 12 hours later to update my order. I was told that the order was closed and they could not refund or cancel my order. I made a formal complaint with the representative and she said I would have an email within the next few business days addressing my complaint. I received nothing from them and made multiple attempts to call the corporate office. I was only able to leave a voice mail, as their recording said the receptionist was unavailable. I left two detailed messages and received no response from the company. I then notified my bank, ***** Fargo and submitted a dispute with them . They temporarily reversed the charges and I spoke with 2 representatives giving them all the information they asked for. I then received a letter from ***** Fargo saying they would be charging my account the $213.98 saying they didn't receive the information they requested from me. They never asked me to send any written documents, so I called a 3rd time today (01/02/24) to dispute the charges. They have put it on another temporary hold while I contact you for a resolution. I did receive the ham and turkey from Honey Baked, but I was unable to eat them, as I have hypoglycemia and can't have the sugar glaze. I was also unable to eat the turkey, as it also came with a sugar base. I had to purchase a 2nd ham and turkey for my family get together and donated the Honey Baked items to a local charity. I spent an additional $130 on those items. This company offered me no recourse and completely ignored my requests. I didn't even get an email confirmation of my purchase, so I have no paper trail. I have ordered from this company for many years and to have this kind of blatant disregard for their customers is really disappointing. They do not need to be in business if they are going to treat people like this. I am requesting that the company refund me the $213.98 that my bank is now saying I will have to pay, regardless of my claims to dispute this. Thank you for help and assistance with this matter.****************************** ************** ********************

      I will be forwarding her concerns to our **************** Team for review. I will also include the store in the communication so they can address any gaps in their process as the customer simply started her experience by wanting to place an order over the phone and felt like she was not treated as a valued customer.
