    I purchased the quilted heated mattress pad in 2019. It worked for two *******, and now I just get an E on the controller. I've sent multiple emails to the company with no response.Why offer a 5-year warranty if you don't actually uphold that?

    I purchased a two electric blankets less than 5 yrs ago(warranty time) and have requested a replacement of the blanket since this is the second one that isn't working. It's been months and although a return has been authorized I have not received it by email on any of the occasions. Returning the blanket is crazy and a complete inconvenience that the company puts you through with all these delay tactics so you will forget it. I would never buy another one of their products again and I need a refund on the products.

    *****************, We are sorry that you are experiencing issues with our product.  Our records show that two *** labels have been sent.  The reason we ask for the product to be returned is to return it to the lab for testing and to confirm at the exact model/product that the customer has and/or needs to replace.  With that being said, you haven't received the *** Prepaid Label so I would like to send you a new product with a *** PPL enclose so you can return the defective product to us.  We don't have the Navy/Cream/Taupe blanket so we will send you a solid taupe blanket.

    I am rejecting this response because: I received a voice mail from a lady called *******. She offered to send me a replacement King **** mattress pad. She asked me to call her back to confirm. I called back immediately. Message: office closed. The next day I called their customer service several times. Each time I had to wait indefinitely and was never connected. I tried the shipping department: message box full. I emailed customer service. Automated reply: I should call customer service. I called back the number the woman called from and that went to her voice mail. I left a message asking her to send me a replacement and asked to confirm. No reply, no call. Just called again. Call went to voice mail. Left another message.

    I initially bought this blanket at JCPenney November 12, 2018. We used it that winter and then when it was brought out for the next winter, Ive of the controls caught on fire. The blanket was replaced and used for 1 winter season. I set it up for this winter and now the replacement wont work. I had to also have 3 others replaced last winter for my sons that I had bought at Kohls. I tried to sign into the website, but theres nowhere to log in. Im not sure if the registration went through or not. Please help as its winter time once again and my blanket controller is frozen up and the plug got very hot for the short time that I plugged it in. The last thing I need is for the house to burn down. Thank you.

    I bought a Biddeford heated blanket 3 weeks ago for $150 and it's already broken. It came with 2 controllers and within 3 weeks neither of the controllers work. Complete waste of money. Absolutely ridiculous.

    I purchased several full size blankets in 2019 since then I have had to replace one of them and the transaction went fine. A few weeks ago the other blanket went out it's another story this time. There were suppose to send a label for shipping the blanket back over two weeks ago and I have never received the label. The first time they didn't need the blanket but this time the consumer has to ************** back to them so they can see what went wrong. This is a hard one to believe I'm sure they have seen everything that could go wrong with a blanket. Just more gas to ************** and find a box.It may not see like a big deal but it's 29 degrees here at night and that's why I had an electric blanket. Very poor customer service and promised follow through on the order. I want the purchase price back on the blanket so I can buy one from another company.

    On 10/6/2022 I bought a heated blanket from Biddeford Blankets at my local Target store. I bought the King ******** Solid Microplush Bed Blanket ***************** size and took it home to set up. Within two days one of the controllers stopped working on one side and a day later the other controller stopped working. I attempted to trouble shoot by trying different outlets however no matter what I tried the controllers would not turn on and now the blanket doesnt work at all. I paid $109 for this blanket and for this to stop working after just a few days is disappointing. I do know they have a 5 year warranty so I register my product on their website. I then attempted to contact them via email and phone several times and never received an answer to my warranty request to have it fixed. The model number is 0BF04 and the tracking number listed on the blanket is X120HD2024960

    Not even going to waist my time explaining my story because it's just like many on here. Less than 5 years, suddenly stopped working, no response from company, it's a shame because when it DID work it WAS great and then boom... not working and no help. Was given to me as a gift. Bad business to have the same malfunction with same non existent response repeat itself.
