    Date: 06/04/2024

    Hello ******,
     
    We're sorry to hear this. 
    We verify our vendors and weve sold thousands of the stamps without any issue. They are not counterfeit.
    The stamps are a couple of years old which may diminish the color, but they are not counterfeit nor is it illegal to resale them.
    They are older forever stamps that can legally be resold for any value.
     
    We have gone ahead and refunded your order of Stamps in good faith. 
    We hope that you will continue shopping with us and give us the pleasure of serving you again in the future.
     
    Kind regards,?

    I ordered stamps from Sweet Deals on 5/3/24. I have yet to receive them. I emailed them this morning (5/28). Ive received 5 canned responses saying the exact same thing. I want a refund. This is not the way to do business. Extremely disappointed as I hear them advertised on the radio a lot.

    On 4-20-24 I was charged ***** for no apparent reason. I did not purchase anything from sweet deals but was just charged for no reason. 11 days later I was credited the money back. Now on 5-11-24 I was charged again and I haven't even been on their site. I have purchased in the past but not within the last 3 months. I tried to contact sweet deals but there is no phone number to contact them. I filed with them but have gotten no response as to why they are randomly taking money from my bank.

    Hello *****,
     
    First, I want to thank you for being such a great customer. We truly appreciate your business. We were made aware that a billing error occurred on our platform on 03/15/2024. While your order was successfully placed and delivered, due to an error by our credit card gateway your payment was not processed on the day of the transaction.
     
    We have resolved the issue and wanted to make sure that you were made aware that the payment has since been posted to your account. Please note charges on your credit card will appear, as always, as INCENTREV HALF OFF CER.
     
    To clarify, that charge that you are seeing in the amount of $32.90 is a delayed billing charge for the Wienerschnitzel order that was placed on 3/15/24.
     
    We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. 
     
    If you may need additional assistance, please contact us at halfoffhelp.com

    On April 28, 2024, I placed an order (#*********) with SweetDeals/Incentrev for a BOGO of 100 US Postage stamps (2 rolls of 100stamps) and the funds were deducted from my bank account that day ($76.50). They were supposed to be delivered within 7-10 days and I gave them ample time before contacting them through a support email. After 10 days they responded with a tracking number and told me to wait another 15-30days! I would like a refund please!

    Hi *****,

    We're sorry to hear that.

    We have gone ahead and refunded your order, as the tracking shows no movement on the package, unfortunately.

    On May 3 I purchased stamps from *********************** LLC through sweetdeals.com.I get emails from the website as I was signed up through a local radio station. The site is affiliated with Cumulous Media (I believe).I have periodically received emails adverting half priced stamps. At first, I thought it was too good to be true. After months (perhaps years) of periodic advertisements, I thought that if is was a scam or too good to be true someone (BBB or ***** would have stopped the scam. Apparently not.So I purchased the stamps (200 for the price of 100). My credit card has been charged and the balance paid. I have a tracking number but the package has not been shipped (the package has supposedly been waiting for **** acceptance for 2 weeks).After my purchase, I brought it up with a family member. Their response was "I read that all discounted stamps are fraudulent." Upon contacting ****, their response was the same. Any discounted stamps are fraudulent.Please protect consumers and have sweet deals.com stop allowing fraudulent stamps to be sold on their website. If this has been done already, I would not have made my purchase.

    On March 15th, I purchased 2 discounted gift certificate vouchers to *****************************. The charge showed on my account as pending, then dropped off a few days later. I DID receive the vouchers within the time period promised, however, it's almost a month later and I've still not been charged for them. I understand it's unusual to complain for NOT being charged, but I'm afraid I'll forget and the charge will come randomly at another time once the mistake is realized.I followed the "Contact Us" link on their site, and completed the inquiry form on the IncentRev site. A few days later on March 29th, I was sent the response template for someone complaining about not receiving their certificates and what the process would be for that. I emailed back again stating I DID receive my certificates but have not been charged. No response. I emailed again yesterday, April 8th, and still no response.

    On 2/6/2024 I purchased online 2 sets of **** tickets at $27.46 each as advertised on their website, sweetdeals.com/**********/deals for a total of $84.12 with fees.I paid them online, received a confirmation number ********* with a receipt of confirmation.Later that same day I received an auto generated email that I was getting a refund for the above purchase. I wrote back asking why all on 02/06/24. On 02/07 I received an auto generated email saying they'd get back to me within 10 business days.Hadn't heard anything and on 2/27/24 I replied again asking what's going on as I want the Indy tickets that were purchased.Finally on 3/11/24 I received an email saying "we had a system error that changed the pricing on items to an incorrect purchase amount".On 3/13/24 I responded back and asked/explained that I understand computer glitches happen, I work in the IT industry as well; however, I saw an ad online and I purchased Indy tickets for said price and I'd like them to honor that price and provide me with the tickets that I received confirmation for. This is what my company does with computer glitches, we stand behind them and honor them.I have not heard back from Sweet Deals - I try to give them their 10 business days but they are horrible at responding and definitely don't want to even try to make a resolution.

    Hi *******,

    We're very sorry to hear this.

    Unfortunately, the deal you purchased was not listed at an authorized price, which resulted in a ************ to your account.

    We understand that this has caused an inconvenience for you, and we completely understand your frustration. We apologize greatly.

    At this time, we are unable to provide this deal at the unauthorized price, unfortunately. 

    However, we have reached out to you directly with an offer that we hope does restore your faith within our company.

    We look forward to hearing back from you and resolving this matter.

    Kind regards,

    I bought 5 certificates for a business at 30% off each, so $17.50 5. The business has since closed and I requested a refund. Was only given 2 of the 5 refunds due to the other 3 being purchased in 2021, they told me was too far in the past to credit online and would send me a paper check. Its has been well past the 12 weeks promised once approved for the check and I still have not received the money.
