Hello, I have been experiencing some trouble in regard to a candle I purchased from Aldi, Inc. in ************, ******* on June 5, 2022. On June 6, 2022, the candle I bought exploded all over my living room damaging my wood floor, area rug, and cabinet that it was sitting on. I have corresponded with Aldi for over a month regarding this candle and compensation repayment. I was given the run around on multiple occasions in regard to receiving a "retrieval kit" within 10 days that came over a month ago causing me to have to retain the candle until they decided to send out said kit. I have been told to hang on to this candle for over a month and have many emails of correspondence with the company's manufacturer, Sebnini ******** **** After constant communication and still no reimbursements after sending pictures and videos of evident damage, I have been told I must replace all items and wait to receive reimbursements pending it is deemed necessary. Needless to say, this has been a stressful process and I have complied with all demands for them, yet I am being forced to pay for repairs for a candle that was faulty. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could assist me in rectifying this situation in a timely fashion. Thanks, ************************* *I also have a video of hard-on wax and glass still in my rug and 12 correspondence emails with the company's manufacturers.*Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:The food was expired or expiring with in 2 weeks this is unacceptable when it comes from your store. Simply stating that I call a different company to obtain a refund. I do not accept this as a valid response to the complaint/

I received an Aldis gift card as a present. When I went shopping on June 21 I was told that the gift card had zero dollars on it which is not true because my husband checked it and it said it was $100 on there. However since the cashier said it was zero I wouldve head and paid in cash $87.24, so I walked out to my car and my daughter called the gift card the number that is on the back and the gift card advised that it was $100 on there, I went back into the store and the first young lady I came into contact with advise that she had to call her manager which she did she called the manager over the walkie-talkie and said that there were issues with gift cards again. So when the manager came out she took the card back into the office and she called and advise that it was $100 on there as well. She took a copy of everything including my information and gave it to the store manager and promised me that this issue would be solved. That was not true because the issue was still going on today The store manager called me and left me a voicemail message and advised that he had also checked the gift card and called the number on the back and it advise it was $100 as well he said that it was a glitch which I still have the voicemail if I need to send it in and advise that it was above the store level. So I then spoke with someone from the corporate office after I had post a review on ******** under Aldis, and again no resolution. So about a half hour later a manager from their call-center calls me and advises that the gift card is used that someone had made a purchase on it and I let her know that every single person has called the gift card and it said theres $100 on there she advised that there was no phone number on the back of the card which thats kind of ridiculous because why would there not be a phone number on the back of the car to check it. This has been a horrible experience with them I just want the issue solved.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: when you call the phone and number that is on the back of the gift card it is still saying there is an active balance that is available of $100. When I spoke to someone from customer service I advised them the same thing the same as the young lady that was there in the store when it happened called and it advised there was a balance available as well as the store manager called and it advised that there was $100 available I also have pictures of the gift card that I can upload as well I would not be submitting a complaint over the hundred dollars unless it was there.

Complaint: 17547778
I am rejecting this response because: I went today to double check and see what the gift card has on it now all of a sudden the gift card is zero so all these weeks this gift card had $100 on it now all of a sudden the gift card is zero. The gift card was verified by the store manager the employee that was there as well as one of Audis employees from corporate now all of a sudden the gift card is at zero these are the games that I am not trying to play at all when it comes to purchasing a gift card, and that is why the issue was brought to the Better Business Bureau as a matter because of the way that this whole issue was handled, I also have the email from the general manager advising that there was $100 on the card and if it needs to be handled above the store level if I need to send that voicemail as well to I can definitely do that.

I am rejecting this response because:
I went to my email and I did see an email from one of the customer service representatives I verified my information with them however until I actually receive that gift card and know that it works considering there was a gift card that I had and it didnt work why would I trust another gift card from Aldi. Would or if I receive the gift card as they supposedly were trying to send to me I will let you know if I have it and if it does work.
Sincerely,
