On June 19th, 2024, I called **** Corporation and spoke to their representative. The representative could not find **** Corporation warranty information anywhere. She kept running around in circles and telling me that there was a warranty card in the box received. The box did not come with a warranty card as I stated to her. She could not find the Warranty online and kept telling me that I was liable for a shipping label to return the product back to **** Corporation. I am not liable for anything why because **** Corporation sent me a defective product through their approved vendor ***************** Under The California Song-******* Consumer Warranty Act (Song-******* Act) (Cal. Civ. Code, 1790 to ******) was enacted in 1970. The Song-******* Act: Puts in place mechanisms to ensure that buyers of consumer goods obtain the benefit of an express warranty given with the goods. Provides that every retail sale of consumer goods in ********** is accompanied by certain implied warranties and strictly limits how those warranties may be disclaimed. By not complying with their warranty **** Corporation is in Violation of The California Song-******* Consumer Warranty Act.This product that I purchased is named "**** Professional 5 Star Detailer *********** Trimmer" and detailer does not hold charge and it overheats till where my hands are scorching hot. Does not last 100 minutes as they state on their website. The moment you take it off the charging port, it does not turn on. Please send me a new one or an upgraded version of this product, thank you.

After reviewing the product that was returned (***** Cord/cordless Detailer) I have noted the following. The product only has a 1 Year warranty and there for is out of warranty as it was manufactured 20/2021. The product was subjected to heavy use and little maintenance resulting in damage to the blades and housing and lowered performance. There for our procedure would be to charge a service fee of $30 for the repair of the product. I will wave this fee as a 1 time curtesy and have the product repaired and returned to you.

Paid 24 dollars for clippers from ******** NEVER USED THEM. OUT OF THE ***** NEW BOX they would not cut at all, were dull and totally useless, all they did was comb the hair and get jammed. I wrote the company and asked for my money back. They told me to take them back to ********.. ******* wouldn't help me, wrote them again and again and again and again asking for my money back strung me along for 6 months would NOT give me my money back even though I sent 5 detailed photos showing absolutely brand new clippers, wanted ME to pay money to send them in. REALLY??? Brand new never used clippers and I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING SHIPPING WHICH WOULD PROBABLY COST AS MUCH AS THE CLIPPERS THEMSELVES. MMMM YEAH NO. "*********************" Just kept stringing along saying the same thing over and over over 6 months and was completely useless. Clippers belong in the GARBAGE which is where I put them. I'm not rich and don't have $24 dollars to just throw in the trash. I'm out $24 dollars. Thanks for nothing.

I contacted Fingerhut and they informed me to contact Whal clipper for repair. I contacted Whal 3 times with no response.I had the razor/ clipper 5 days and it is defective.

I ordered a product (clippers) from **** Clippers for $14.99, paid $14.78 in shipping/handling, and $1.09 in tax, for a total of $30.86 over 6 weeks ago. I have emailed them asking for follow up or when my product will be shipping, however have not heard anything back from them. I have called them twice to inquire about my product I paid them for but each time I call, on a non-holiday week day, I get a recording that says they are out of the office for a holiday. I am doubting I will ever get the clippers I ordered from them and have heard zero communication other than my initial confirmation of my order email and would very much like a return of my $30.86 as I do not trust this company or their business practices. Thank you!

After reviewing this situation, these are the responses to the concerns. As for the phone calls the only 2 calls that we find in the phone system were for 3/29/24 at approximately 9:45 am CST. These calls were on an observed **** clipper holiday Good Friday and **** clipper was closed for business that day. We will review the email process to address the delay in response. The online order was canceled the day it was made due to a Billing address error. With that there were not any funds received that would need to be refunded.

I have bought several products from this company and has dealt with Kam and other staff and never had an issue until now. I have purchased Lithium Ion Grooming kit for $69.99 and Flex Shave Rechargeable ****** for $69.99 and always had good service until now. I sent three letters asking to send my Manscaper Lithium Ion or new Revoluntory Unit. that has detachable plates.

Based on the photos provided you do have all the attachments for the 9854-600B kit. This unit does not come with a full size dual foil ****** head only the small 2 foil detail ******. We have sent out 2 trimmers at no charge as well as the second one being an upgrade from the 9854-600B that you had said you had in your initial email to **** all while not requiring you to send in you original product as proof of purchase. We also did send out the 2 requested attachments as well at no charge. The instruction manuals do discuss all the optional attachments available for the trimmers it does not imply that all will be included with the trimmers. Without knowing exactly what attachments you are missing based on your BBB message and having provided 2 trimmer and 2 extra attachment and we are unable to offer more the the following option. That option is to return both trimmers and all sent attachment and once we receive them we will send out 2 replacement trimmers.

On or about 18/03/23 my wife and purchase hair clippers from Beauty Secrets in ***********. I paid more than 200 dollars, and even purchase the warranty. From The first time I used them, one of the clippers were not cutting correctly. They would pull my sons hair and would stop working. When I reached out to Beauty Secrets and explained my problem, they assured me I had nothing to worry about since I purchased the warranty. But I need to reach out the manufacture. When I reached out to Whal, they explained to me I would need to pay to ship them. I did so and waited over two Months to get my clippers back. When I request to know what they fixed, they said they could not give me that information. Now I am having the same problem, I sent them a video of the problem, and they are requesting me to ship them back. I dont want to go through all this problems over again and I request them to replaced them. Now they dont respond to my emails.

On Feb 22nd I placed on order on the **** website in which they offered 50% off of products. Order#***********. I called on the phone on 03/14/23 to find out the status of my order and was advised that the order had been cancelled unbeknownst to me. I was advised to contact online support and they sent me a generic email saying "changes slipped through our system while undergoing maintenance at the time you placed your most recent order. This very short window if updates resulted in inaccurate inventory quantities, pricing and discounts to appear for you." and then they offered to give me 10% off. I feel that this is false advertisement and request that they honor my order.
Business Response

We regret the poor experience this individual had with our website. Wahl Clipper Corporation did not advertise a 50% off promotional discount code, nor did we advertise 50% off discounted prices on our website or any other website. Rather, an unknown third party discovered a flaw in our system and posted an unauthorized code on a coupon-sharing website with which we have no affiliation. Our e-commerce system processed the unauthorized discount code erroneously. When the error was discovered, we cancelled the order and refunded the customers money. We did not engage in false advertising and had no intent to deceive. As a courtesy, we offered the customer whose order was cancelled a 10% discount. We cannot provide the customer the desired remedy of fulfilling the orders that applied an invalid code and resulted in pricing errors.
