Complaint being filed on behalf of, ******* *******, by **** *******, granddaughter. I, **** *******, also assisted w completing the purchase identified in this complaint. For clarity, any use of the word "we" is a reference to both ******* ******* and **** *******. On 1/19/2025 we completed a purchase (item details provided below) via **************************. The charges below were paid using a **** issued to ******* *******. Subtotal:$69.99 US Shipping & Service: $11.99 US Estimated Tax: $6.56 US Total: $88.54 US The estimated delivery period, February 4th- February 19th, was not made known to us until the transaction was completed. Bradford Exchange sent a confirmation email (screenshot attached) and another email on February 6th (screenshot attached) informing us they had shipped the package and provided a tracking number. Each week my Grandmother asked about the delivery, and upon tracking the package I found the label was created on February 4th at 1:01PM and canceled the same day. **** had an advisory regarding winter weather delays noted on the page, and we assumed that was playing a role in the delayed shipping. On February 19th, 2025 ******* received her bank statement and it included the purchase from BE as well as their phone number, so she called to inquire about the status of her order. BE advised that her order was shipped Feb 4th, 2025, so we then reached out to **** regarding the status. **** advised that they were notified of the label creation, but the label was canceled and the package was never provided to them. I emailed BE after contacting ****, and requested they correct this error and provide us w confirmation of shipment by 5PM February 20th, 2025. I also requested they make contact as soon as possible and provided both my number and email address. It was also noted I would file a complaint w your organization if there were no efforts to resolve the matter by the noted date/time. Screenshots attached w order, item, and tracking infoBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because:The request for the item to be shipped a second time was made by ******* via phone on 2/21, not as result of the email sent to your customer service department nor in response to my BBB complaint. Upon agreeing, for a 2nd time, to send the purchased item there was no eta nor tracking information given. ******* made a second call in late February to inquire about the *** and was told the item should arrive by April 4th, and that is beyond the period of time given ( 2nd order on Feb 21) in the BBB response from your company. The item was advertised in a magazine, and leads consumers to believe it is in the possession of the advertiser, and if it is standard operating procedures for a customer to be charged 2-3 months prior to receiving their purchase, then adequate disclaimers should be noted as such. Being that we have no tracking information, differing delivery dates, no refund for shipping services, and no guarantee that your company even has the item we purchased, I do not feel comfortable accepting the response at this time.

I ordered checks, at the price quoted. When they deducted the money from my account it was raised from $18.69 to $42.31. I immediately called them ,they said price was raised because I bought checks before so was not. When I asked when they said ******************************************************************************************************************************* about the increase. They said if I received the checks to destroy them and they would refund my money. They refunded the money than within 24 hours deducted $42.31 from my checking account again. This messed up my checking account twice. I tried calling them again they keep giving me the run around. All I want is my money back. I destroy the checks as they instructed, So I'm out the money and the checks. Thank you for your help.Business Response

I purchased said item on December 30th on **** from seller grhenn_58 for ****** Item was delivered on Jan 6th and on Feb 6th I received an invoice from the ******** Collection requesting payment. I contacted the number on the invoice and I spoke with supervisor that told me they have 3rd party sellers and the seller was credited the whole amount back. I questioned why I am getting an invoice for a charge I never made thru their company and the agents suggestion was to pay the amount or send it back. I asked to escalate to a supervisor and was told they would contact me in 2-3 business days. I missed the call an agent left a message no name and a phone number that I was on hold with for over an hour. When I finally got an agent she explained there was nothing she could do and another supervisor would call in 2 business days. I explained I have already been waiting and if she could connect me to someone higher up and she said no I would have to wait the 2 business days. I asked her if they have 3rd party sellers and she said no which is not what the previous agent told me I also asked how this order was placed and she said if it was done online or thru a agent my address and info was provided. My credit card was never provided for payment how did the payment go thru if the names don't match. She had vague answers and I informed her that since she cannot assist which she stated I would be ending the call and will speak with my attorney. This charge was never made by me and I am requesting the invoice be canceled and my account be deleted from said company.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:I never ordered anything thru their company and the issuance of a invoice is fraudulent on their part. Never did I give this company my personal information name, address, and the payment used I know did not match my name because I never ordered from your company. If their systems allow individuals to submit orders on behalf of others that is something that needs to be addressed on their end.
I am requesting invoice to be canceled.

I accepted the first 2 charges for 4 coins and agreed to continue a monthly order of 2 coins each month for $68.89. I did not receive anymore coins, even though I was charged 11 more times. I made 6 phone calls, including one in October to change our address. The coins have not been received by us at our new home, or our friends at our old home. The company would not provide tracking numbers or refunds. I want my money back. The **** states they have no record of these deliveries. I get a daily email from the post office to tell me what is being delivered and there have been none to either place. Bradford Exchange states they never received any calls from us.Business Response

As a Vietnam veteran I observed the Bradford Exchange (BE) offering coins on various battles fought there. Over about a year I purchased 8 of the coins offered at varying times for each coin. I paid by check for each one as received and did not use a credit card which they desired. The coins filled the box they provided and I believed they were done with the offer. The company then send a new round of the coins plus another box. I did not want to receive any more so I did just as BE required by them by requesting their form by phone for return paid by them. In the call the company operator said it takes a long period (6 weeks or more) to process the return items for credit and you may still get the $49.80 bills, but disregard it. I send this latest item plus the box back via *** as they requested around approximately late September, 2024. After the 2nd additional request in November for payment on the same returned items, I sent BE a letter. In my 11/5/24 letter I explaining the items were returned and told them to not send any additional payment request for $49.80 since it and remove me from the mailing list. The payment requests from ******* ******, account Executive have continued with the last one just received and dated 2/7/25. They are trying to collect $49.80 which is not owed for the one coin and display box since they were not requested, but both were returned. They are indicating an attempt to negatively reflect on my credit.Business Response

I ordered checks in March of 2014 which I received. However, Bradford Exchange has been charging my credit card ***** every single month for a rewards plan that I absolutely did not authorize. When I called the company to find out what the charge is for, the customer service *** explained that I likely signed up for the rewards plan to get free shipping. Absolutely not true especially given that shipping was only $8.95 at that time. These $***** charges were not authorized by me and I want a total refund of the $1400+ that belongs to me. The *** on the phone told me that they would only refund 6 months. They are clearly wrong for taking $1439.04 from my account and only offering me a refund of 6 months.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
When I first signed up for the ***** ****** series, the installments cost ***** per issue.They state on the website that if you sign up for the installments the price of your issues will never change.
The name is different because that's my maiden name and the address is different because I moved since I first bought the series and that has never been a problem.
I'm sure you can see that I have been over charged. Either refund my money or send the rest of the houses.

I am rejecting this response because:That's not true. That's the price NOW. When I first started the installments, it was 45 per item. And they say on the website that when you sign up for the instalment you're guaranteed the same price for the life of the line.

I am rejecting this response because:
The price of the products were not *****. that's the price of the products right now.The prices are always increasing.
That's why they say on the website that if you sign up for it you'll always pay the same price. The price will never increase for you. thats a statement that it's still on their website. "Reserves the collectible ***** ****** Village Collection from The Bradford Exchange in your name so you never risk an increase on the price of other collectibles in this collection"
You charged me 36 times and delivered 20 pieces. You owe me for 16 pieces that haven't been delivered
