Date of Purchase: December 31st, 2024 Amount: $85.02 I ordered a sleep sack from them of the incorrect size and contacted them about returning it. I even placed a new order for one of the correct size. I took the sack out of the bag they shipped it in for less than a minute - long enough to look at the size and realize that I had ordered the wrong one. I contacted them about a return and they sent their policy and said that would qualify for a return or exchange. So I then paid to ship it back to them. However, weeks later they email me saying that they identified a "small pull" on the item and so it didn't qualify for a return or exchange and I would have to pay them to ship the item back to me or otherwise they will discard it after 30 days. When I questioned how that would be possible as it was taken out for less than a minute and placed right back in the bag and sent back - the response from their customer service was that they trust their warehouse workers to have handled the product with care and restated that I can either pay to have it shipped back to me or otherwise they will discard ***** return met all of the requirements for a return and they are refusing to provide me with my money back.Business Response

I ordered the long sleeve sleep suit on Dec 4, on Dec 14 my package was delivered but it was a short sleeve sleep suit. I used it on my baby not realizing it was not the kind I ordered, then the zipper broke. I emailed Gunamuna on Dec 28 with pictures. They emailed me back on Dec 30 saying that they want to replace it for me and gave me an option of the different long sleeve sleep sacks. At this point I realized I had ordered the long sleeve and did not receive the long sleeve. I emailed them back the information they needed on January 3. Since then I have not heard back from them and have attempted to email them on Jan 3, Jan 6, Jan 9, Jan 13, and Jan 17. I have also left them a comment on one of their ******** posts and sent a message through ******** Messenger. I got an automatic reply on messenger saying my message was received, and my comment was deleted off their ******** post.Business Response

Dec 1 2024 an order was made. I emailed them on Dec. 9th to notify them I had not seen any movement on my package. They emailed back Dec. 11 saying not to worry it should be just a few more days as the Black Friday sale had been overwhelming for them. Understandable. I emailed again 17 days later, Dec 28, notifying them that there was still no package and clearly an issue. They replyed back Dec 30th saying this was essentially out of the control but still said wait a few more days and then they would assist with filing a a claim. Well I called the ************** and they were able to see that there was definitely a lost package and a claim should have been made weeks ago by the company. Told them on Dec 31 I would like to file a claim. Did not hear back from them until Jan 7 with a form to fill out for a replacement even though I had expressed my incredible frustration and I just wanted my money back. That was the last I had heard from them. So, in conclusion, they have stolen my money and have EXTREMELY poor customer service.Business Response

On December 1, 2024 I placed an order with Gunamuna for some childrens clothing. Understanding its the holiday time the shipping said within 1-3 business days. Per the website, everything I ordered was in stock. There was no indication there was anything on backorder. After about a week on December 7, I inquired about any possible order status updates and on Dec 9th just asked to cancel the order. I received a response that Monday Dec 10th stating that theyre experiencing a high volume and referred me to their shipping policy. There was no indication that shipping was going to take much longer or given an estimate of how long it would take. She also stated that my order was being prepared for shipment. On December 16 almost a week later I received a tracking number with information stating that it shipped. Upon checking the tracking number each day, I noted that the package had not moved from Amesbury MA and contacted them again on December 23.I received a response from ********, who stated that she had checked herself and noted that it was apparently in the warehouse at the **** building and one of many packages that just havent been sorted yet. She also recommended that I wait 10 business days from the day of last update (December 16) to notify **** about a lost package. I waited an additional week and then contacted **** to help locate the package. It apparently is still in ********, ************* and my case was closed. I sent them that information on January 3 and requested that I receive a refund since they have done nothing to remedy the situation whether its a replacement of the items that they apparently shipped or a refund of the items I did not receive. I have yet to receive a response. I have asked my bank about a chargeback and they recommended that I try to remedy this with Gunamuna first. I just want a refund.Customer Answer

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.
We are always aiming to provide a positive experience for our customers, and we strive to provide as much important information as possible in our website to allow our customers to have a smooth shopping experience with us. As noted on our shipping policy, while orders are typically processed 1-3 days after they are placed, this timeline is an estimate only and not guaranteed, especially during a launch or special promotions. The customer placed her order during our big Black Friday sale which required us additional time to process and ship orders.
Their order was shipped on December 16th, and we have coordinated with the carrier on the whereabouts of her package around December 23rd. The carrier advised that they are currently having a backlog of packages and reassured us that their package is not lost. However, if there is no movement on the package after 10 business days, we may report the package as lost and file a claim on their behalf.
Our team has reached out to assist in filing a claim, and we have not heard from the customer to confirm if they have completed the claim form, or if they prefer a refund or replacement. While we are continuously improving our products and services to serve our valued customers better, we ensure that we will happily process a refund or replacement right away once we hear back from the customer regarding their preference.

I received an email on 1/9 from an executive assistant at Gunamuna acknowledging that they were wanting to resolve this issue. I had responded to her executive assistant on 1/14 and 1/19 and had twice requested a refund as she has not responded to either of my emails confirming our decision and informing us when we could expect the refund.
Businesses and Customers should be civil, courteous and polite in their responses to complaints. It is important to remain professional and productive when participating in the BBB complaint process.

We are committed to provide a positive experience for our valued customers like ******, and we're truly sorry for any inconvenience or delay our customer is experiencing on their recent order with us. Upon checking, while the tracking information displays "Pre-shipment", our warehouse shipped the customer's package on December 13th. We were advised by the carrier that due to the influx of packages in the holiday season, they were experiencing a backlog in scanning packages hence we required additional time to investigate the whereabouts of the customer's order.
We are working to continuously improve our products and services and ensure that we are able to respond to each customer inquiry as timely as possible, and we have processed the full refund and offered compensation in the form of a discount code for the inconvenience.

I made a purchase with this company on 11/29/24. After a week it was apparent that the item had still not shipped. I did contact the company via email on 12/7/24 and they did respond on 12/9 that there was a delay but that the item had shipped. I was told to track the package on the app Route which I did. On the app however it has been stalled since then stating that the package was received and acceptance was pending. This has been there for days now and has not moved. I again attempted to contact the company via email but have received no reply as of yet. I did however contact **** to inquire on their end if there was an issue. I was informed by them that the tracking number I was given for **** was not valid and it was probably a scan.Business Response

Dear customer,
We received your inquiry on December 6, and as noted in our correspondence, during launches or special promotions like Black Friday, we do experience a higher volume of orders, which may cause additional processing time before shipping. We did ship your order on December 7.
While we completely understand how frustrating shipping delays can be, please note that unfortunately, we have no control over delays caused by the carrier. This is also outlined in our company policy. Ive checked your order, and Im happy to let you know that its out for delivery today!
For your convenience, I am attaching the link to our policies once more: *************************************************
You can also see the tracking status of your order attached.

I placed an order over a week ago and the company has not shipped the product and they refuse to answer any of my attempts to get ahold of them. So basically they stole from me and refuse to answer me.Customer Answer

I HAVE heard from the business in response to my complaint BUT they have resolved nothing and seem to not be interested in resolving my issue. They also need to let customers know BEFORE taking and charging their credit cards that an item is out of stock and they dont know when it will be restocked. They are conducting inappropriate business.Business Response

We appreciate you for bringing this to our attention as we are committed to ensure that our customers always have a positive experience with gunamuna.
As stated in our shipping policy, orders are processed 1-3 days after they are placed, in the sequence they are received. However, kindly note that the customer's order (Order #****** is for a Dusky Lovey which is listed for shipment in December as noted in our website at the time of order. The customer is informed that while their order was placed on October 29th, the item they ordered is currently in backorder.
The customer reached out to us on November 5th to inquire on the status of her order. Our team is working diligently to respond to all customers as timely as possible, and we were able to respond to her on November 6th to remind that the item ordered will be shipped in December. While we do offer refunds, we were unable to process one in this case because a chargeback was filed before we were able to successfully process the refund. Unfortunately, the system prevents us from issuing a refund if a chargeback has already been initiated.
We would, however, be happy to issue a refund if the customer withdraws the chargeback, as this will allow the refund to successfully proceed.

Order was placed on 2/21/24 Received a defective sleep sack that had a strong perfume odor and smelled used. I am very sensitive and allergic to strong perfume or cologne smells. Tried washing it out twice and the odor did not come out. The sleep sack was $60. *****, the executive assistant, offered a replacement. 2 weeks went by and I did not receive a replacement. I followed up and ***** said they were out of the matching sack but could offer one in a different print. I was not interested and asked for store credit instead. The company completely ignored my emails after following up 5 times in April and the issue has still not been resolved. I also tried reaching out through social media instagram and my comments were deleted.Business Response

Hello,I purchased a transition sleep sack 1.0 tog rating from this company for my child who was in this type of sleep sack at the time. Upon receiving the product, I simply tried it on my child to see if I liked the fit. Personally I felt that the arms were too snug and hard to get their little arms through. According to gunamuna they reviewed my item and deemed it non returnable because of a stain that must have happened in the 5 mins of trying it on my child (babies drool or spit up unexpectedly. I cant predict when this will happen but trying on their item tags still intact seems the product non returnable). They offered to send me the product back and after multiple exchanges back and forth this company has just completely ignored me and not even followed their return policy or options offered to me in returning my purchased item. So as it stands right now I have paid them money, asking for them to send my item back though its useless to use as my child doesnt fit in it at all anymore and they have continued to ignore me and keep my paid for item.Business Response

I hope this message finds you well.
Please find attached correspondence regarding a recent customer return matter. We received the returned items with stains and promptly notified the customer of the issue. Additionally, we reiterated our website policy, which clearly states that we cannot accept returns or exchanges for products that are not in their original condition or have stains. For reference, you can find detailed information on our website policy: **********************************************************
Despite our efforts to communicate this policy to the customer, they expressed a desire for a refund despite being informed that they would not be eligible due to the condition of the returned items. The customer has explicitly stated that they do not want the items returned to them as noted in the screenshot provided.We are also attaching of the returned items showing the stain. In accordance with our policy and procedures, we will be discarding the items in question. This practice is also clearly outlined on our website.

I made a purchase of 2 sleeping bags on Nov 29, 2023, and have yet received the items. I have tried to contact the website 2 times and received no response. I have no comment about their product as i have not yet received. However, I am confident to say that this business fails to deliver the products they claim to sell and has zero customer service. I would request this business to be 100% transparent on their stock and warehouse/logistic capability to their customers, refund all unfulfilled purchases fully and compensate for the inconvenience that it has caused its customers.Business Response
