Ordered 2 items before Christmas 2021. Have received 4-6 of the SAME item, credit card charged over the last year, the most recent one being a few weeks ago. Very busy so difficult to make it a point to get to the *********** to return, but doing that today because we want our money refunded and for all traces of us to be removed from your database/records so this does not continue. The 4 we are returning today have not been opened so sending them back "Refused, Return to Sender" as we read about somewhere on your site/FAQs. We expect refunds for these items.Business Response

I Ordered a **** and ***** Meant To Be Halloween globe for $89.99 online from Bradford Exchange in 10/2021. It was a one time purchase. They had a promotion going for a rewards program that gave deals in shipping but I declined it and paid full price for shipping. Today I noticed a unauthorized charge of $14.95 from Bradford Exchange. I contacted Bradford Exchange to find out why I was being charged a monthly fee for the past 11 months. I was informed that I was enrolled in the rewards program and that was the monthly fee. I informed ******* that my purchase was a one time purchase and that I declined the promo and just paid full price for shipping. I was informed that because it was an online purchase that I was automatically enrolled just by making the purchase. Authorization was never given to be enrolled. On 11/05/2022 I contacted Bradford and advised them of my issue, I was told my membership would be cancelled and I would receive a e mail confirmation. I have never received this e mail.Business Response

In early October, after the death of Her ******** Queen ********************** I bought a coin from the Bradford Exchange to order a Platinum Jubilee coin. It was shipped on 10/6/2022, and I received it a few days later. I paid for it using PayPal, and the money was deducted from my account. Then, a week later, when ****** announced that they were making themselves the thought police, I immediately closed my PayPal account. A few days later, I received a message from The Bradford Exchange that they could not get payment with my PayPal account and that they would need to send me an invoice. I immediately emailed them to let them know that I did not authorize any such payment and that the payment for the only coin I ordered had already gone through. No reply. I then received a notice from *** that the company shipped another order to me. I emailed them again to reiterate my concerns. Still no reply. I received a message from *** yesterday that the package would be delivered soon. Once again, I emailed The Bradford Exchange. Again, NO REPLY. Today, I called them, and I waited for over 30 minutes to talk to someone before their system disconnected the call. I then received notification that the package was delivered. I am so glad I cancelled PayPal when I did, or theft would be part of this complaint. I am an avid coin collector, and I really wanted to like this place, but if this is how they do business, I will go elsewhere.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.In the future, they should be more clear that this is a series, such as, next to the price. They should also confirm this before the order is replaced. Finally, they should have included this in the confirmation email. Most people see the description only as, well, the description.

Where do I start? over 1 year ago I order a couple of collectable trains from Bradford Exchange/Hawthorne Architec. I just wanted the one item of each and paid with my credit/debit card. They kept taking money out for various "additions" to each train. I repeatedly called to ask them to stop this! I was told that they would and for a while it looked like they did. Then I receive a collections letter regarding them. Stating that I owed them money. I went through my bank statements, and wrote everything down and sent to the collections agency and they dropped the case as my booking was accurate and they have not sent products that I paid for (They have sent me post cards saying it was backordered and continued to take money out of my account). To date they have taken more money from my account then the products I have received. All I want is for them to lose my credit/debit card number and to quit taking money out of my account for items that I do not want and have not ordered. They have caused me undo stress because of this. Please help me stop them!!Business Response

The date of the transaction was around March 2016 and it was paid through installments of ***** a month. The item # is *********: ***** of Gems ********* *********************** ring size 5. The retail price was $349.99 and after shipping (*****) and tax ($35.00) and extended warantee which was ($10.00) it was $410.99. I paid using the 6 months installment plan, which was $64.98 for the first installment and then ***** thereafter. I off the installments as of August 2017, which totaled to be $410.99. I had this ring replaced for the same ring using my extended warrantee due to a diamond falling out in June 2019. The replacement was delivered to me two weeks later and I was happy until just recently as of Aug 2022 I was planning to wear this ring to a wedding so I took it out of its box it came with and it was ugly and tarnished with a green tint to it, which meant it was not real 18 carat gold plated which it describes to be on the Bradford exchange website, but actually copper plated! So I decided to ship the item back with all of its original packaging and return label that it came with along certificate of authenticity the return was processed -Aug 17 2022. Three weeks ago, I received a letter in the mail by a supervisor named ********************* whom stated my return was received but my order could not be located in the system. And to contact them for a refund request or replacement for the returned ring. I called them the next day after i got the letter and I was told my order history had been erased, all I have is a item number in reference to this order, because they erased over 30 orders that I had ever placed with them. Now it is Oct 31st 2022 and I still have not got a refund, nor a status update if the item is going to be returned back to me. So far it looks like they are keeping the ring and the money I paid. This is the item number ********* that can be found on the bradford exchange website.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: the Agent representing Bradford exchange is making a false statement. the ring was returned Aug 17 2022 and I have yet to receive a refund for it. I paid $410.99 I expect the amount I paid for the ring because I paid for warrantee which was the $10.99 on top of shipping which was ***** and tax $35 and the extended warrantee of $10.99. $349.99 is the retail value of the ring itself. The agent is being dishonest.

The additional refund should be $61.99 and the ring itself is retail priced at $349.99 which totals up to $411.99 that is owed to me, because thats the amount I paid and I returned the ring that they chose to keep without issuing me a refund.

- BBB is unable to locate the business.
This company sent me an unsolicited package. I knew I had never done business with this company, so I refused the package through **** (I have screenshots of the tracking number where it was refused). This company sent me a bill for the item I did not order. I have looked them up and they have engaged in this kind of scam with other people as well, sending out products no one ordered and trying to bully them into paying if they kept the item. I did not fall for it, I did not accept the package and I want them to leave me alone!Business Response

Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic.
