  This company made an unauthorized charge of $90.70 (ninety dollars seventy cents) of my card in 05/08/2025 while I was on vacation overseas. Once I get here I saw some unauthorized charges in my visa debit card, my bank only Reimbursed the first transactions and told me that to be refunded for this transaction need to contact with this company. I called two times and they never gave me a logic reason not an honest answer about how they made the charge to my card even when I gave them all my card information, the only thing they said is sorry we can’t help you there is no information about this transaction. I feel very disappointed about how companies like this works freely and the laws can’t do anything.

  Complaint: ********
  
  
  
  I am rejecting this response because: Because I was out the country for a significant amount of time the bank is not able to do a chargeback because it would have to be made 30 days from transaction. I gave them my name and address to look up the account. I do not understand how they can charge me to my bank account and not be able to locate it. I am requesting a refund.$99.70

  I already talked with my bank. I was out of the country from July 2024 and I come back on May 13, 2025. I got other charges from January that my bank reimbursed me, they said I only have 90 days to make the claim and they don’t want to refund that charge, even that the charge was made this month, they said only to talk with the company they should be able to refund the money that have been stolen from my bank.

  You will have to file a chargeback with your bank. There is no way to process a refund if your card is no longer valid.

  Hello, I am hoping you can help in getting my order finished from ** ******. i placed an order with them way back in Feb. (*************) order no. and I received some of the order. I contacted their customer service no.****** and was asked about the shape the box was in. they wanted to know the tape used and if the box had holes in it so they could file a claim on ***. i told them there was not any hols or taped up spots. my complete order is missing. I emailed customer service and was told they had to review my claim. that has been a few weeks ago and it must have fell on deaf ears and they have fell silent on me. I think I bought the insurance to cover product delivery

  On ***** I ordered a ** **** ******t for the ***** *********** Rifle. Total: $ 69.99, Ship- $13.99/Sales Tax-$5.82/Grand Total-$90.79. I ordered it based upon the description that it was designed to fit as stated in the ad. I read the 100% Iron-Clad Satisfaction Guarantee and felt comfortable that this would fit my needs. I received it on ***** & it was not as advertised/did not fit. I read the return shipping instructions and took it to ***. The shipping cost back was $15.55. The total cost of this bayonet is now $106.34. I inquired on ****** to find out why I only received $75.73 back to my credit card, not the $106.34 that I paid. I was shorted $30.61. Crystal sent me an email saying that my refund was processed on **** for the amount of $75.73 If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at any time. I contacted her back asking that I had not received notification from her that it was returned or about money being credited back to me. I received an email saying Thank you for contacting BUDK Customer Service. Your request (******) has been solved. To reopen this request, reply to this email. I replied to customer service the amount I paid was $90.79, not $75.73. You asked me to ship it back through *** and the cost was $15.55. The total cost was $106.34. I have attached the *** receipt and tracking information. Not hearing anything back, I called customer service and spoke to Marcus on ***** and explained everything to him. He said that they would not refund the initial shipping cost to me or the cost that I spent in returning it. I asked this where on their website it said shipping was not refundable. He said that it did not say that. He said there was nothing he could do, suggested I contact his supervisor. I left a voice mailbox message for the supervisor, and she returned my call. I told her what Crystal and Marcus said. She said there was nothing she could do. I would like my $30.61 reimbursement for my 100% Guaranteed Satisfaction.

  I bought 2 ******* from BUDK with the expectation of the blades being sharp, not just an edge to sharpen.
  I called on ******* to ask for a full refund and return label since they didn't match description. I was refused a prepaid return label.
  My wife called today ******* and was told that unless the add says razor sharp, that it would only come with an edge to sharpen. There is nowhere in the catalog with this information. Both advertisements in the catalog IMPLY that the blade would be sharp by its headline description, see pictures. Also, I do not have the facilities, skill or money for a skilled person to sharpen these 2 ********
  This is false advertisement .
  There is another advertisement about a different ****** ****** ****** that I DID NOT buy,
  ******* ******* that says it's a fully functional sword, but nowhere does it say razor sharp, but according to the reviews, it is somewhat sharp.
  When my wife was also refused a prepaid return label, she told them that we would keep the 2 ******* since we already paid $13.99 S&H, that we didn't have the big discounts that they had for shipping and that it would cost too much for us send it back. She also let Julie know that she was going to contact BBB. Julie, who spoke with my wife was as helpful as her authority allowed, which isn't much, said that she would request for upper management to review the notes and recorded phone calls. I would very much like and appreciate a full refund of $92.79 ( which includes the original shipping cost) and a prepaid return label.
  My email for this particular account is *********************. The email that I submitted to you is the email that I monitor on a daily basis.
  
  Thank you for your time and effort in this matter
