      I placed an order for a filter on October 28, 2023 with SharkNinja. After receiving it, I realized it was the wrong filter. I sent my filters back based on instructions provided by SharkNinja. They received the package based on my ***** tracking, yet never issued me a refund for the ***** that they charged me. I have contacted SharkNinja multiple times and have gotten no where with them.Below is a detailed description of my experience with SharkNinja customer service:On Oct 28, 2023 I purchased 2 filters for my vacuum.On Nov 2, 2023 I contacted customer service via email, b/c I was unable to reach them by the phone number provided on their website to inquire about a return. They responded and provided me with a ***** return label. I packaged, shipped, and sent.On Dec 9, 2023after not getting refundedI sent an email inquiring.On December 14, 2023 they replied and said they would "escalate my case."On Jan 3, 2024after not hearing anything and not being refundedI checked my ***** tracking from the ***** receipt and learned that it was delivered. I emailed them and attached the ***** receipt.On Jan 5, 2024,I got another similar email saying they would "escalate my case."On Jan 22, 2024after not hearing anything and not getting refundedI placed a phone call at 11:57am.I was on the phone for 33 minutes with ********. She couldn't "get in touch with her supervisor" and "couldn't issue my return" but she convinced me she would "reach out to her supervisor" and I would see the refund within a few days.On Feb 1, 2024after not gettingrefundedI sent another email asking to issue my refund immediately. They replied that they would "escalate my case." As you can imagine I was very frustrated so I responded with screenshots of every email where I was told my case would be "escalated" when they haven't escalated my case as I made my purchase back on Oct 28, 2023 and they received the return on Nov 6.

      I do not accept this, because I still haven't received a refund to my PayPal account, which is the account I used originally to purchase the filters on October 28. I have allowed for the processing 3-5 business days, but I have yet to receive my refund (screenshot of my PayPal transactions attached).

      I still do not have a refund credited to my original form of payment. I continue to provide time for the transaction to show up but it has not. I do not wish to speak with the company as I feel they are incapable of providing proper customer service at this point. I just want the money to show up in my account, or to be issued a check if they are struggling to figure out why my refund won't go through paypal.

      Purchased a shark hyperair dryer for myself. Worked great for a few months and then began overheating on the medium setting and would shut off after a few minutes. The unit was cleaned after each use per the directions and was well maintained. I called and went through troubleshooting and cleaned the unit. Was told to call back to place a warranty claim if it happened again. Within a few days it was back to overheating. Called back and they now have told me they cant help me any longer as its not under warranty any longer.

      I bought a vacuum model number CU500 and it completely broke. It was still under warranty. I called their service number and they tried to troubleshoot it for 2 hours and then determined it needed to be replaced. They sent me a motor to the vacuum instead of a replacement and i did my best to install it but i am not a mechanic and even with the new base, the vacuum still does not work. the business is crazy to put me through this. I contacted the service number again and they provided no further help, they just said look at the manual . I am still stuck with a dead vacuum UNDER WARRANTY that shark does not want to properly replace. My previous warranty order number for the motor they sent me is ************.

      On February 8 or 9, I ordered a shark robot vac and mop at shopsharkmatrixrobot.com. The full price in my cart was ****** with products purchased, tax, free shipping....everything. I put my credit card info in on the same screen showing the same price and hit submit (I have a photo of that screen). The next screen that came up showed my purchase was received for a total of $765.27 (everything was the same except the price of the robot cleaner and the tax). I immediately called the company to cancel the order. I was told they could not cancel my order. and no refund could be issued or price fixed until my order billed out. They asked me to send copies of the pictures I had taken of the screen shots with Ticket #********, which I did the same day. My order billed out for $765.27 on Saturday, February 10. I called customer service back on Monday, Feb. 12 and was told I should have received an email asking for PDFs of screen shot rather than the jpgs I sent. I converted them to PDFs and sent them on Monday morning. Today I called and they said they could not open them because it was a link to the pdfs and they would not download them. I sent that email to another email address of mine and they open and work fine ( so did the jpgs). I am resending today, but in previous calls they have not been specific about what they wanted, they always want something different, I feel this was some kind of bait and switch. I have talked with *****, **********************, *****, ******, and Destiny with no help at all.....just something else they want. I want the difference in what I agreed to online and what I was actually charged refunded to my credit card. I pay my credit cards in full so I want this resolved asap.

      Since September 2023, my bank statements have been marred by unauthorized, recurring monthly charges of >$100 from SharkNinja, launching me into an unwelcome and exhausting battle to protect my own funds. Despite my immediate action to dispute these charges with my bank each month and my persistent attempts to reach out to SharkNinja for resolution, the company has shown a blatant disregard for my situation. My conversations with multiple representatives yielded no sympathy, assistance, or willingness to delve into the root of the issue. It became painfully clear that my financial security and customer satisfaction were of no concern to them. The severity of this issue compelled me to cancel 5 credit cards and, ultimately, close my bank account in a desperate bid to halt the unauthorized withdrawals. Astonishingly, this measure did not deter the problem. In February **** alone, I was victim to two identical, unauthorized charges from SharkNinja, further solidifying my disbelief in their systems and their ethics.The indifference displayed by SharkNinja has been shocking. My attempts to escalate the matter, to communicate with a fraud department, or to speak with a higher-level manager were met with resistance or outright refusal. Not once has SharkNinja initiated a sincere effort to address, let alone rectify, this ongoing financial nightmare.SharkNinja's disregard for customer welfare and their apparent negligence in preventing fraud. Their inability to take accountability for a serious issue under their purview is not only disappointing but deeply concerning. I urge potential customers to consider this experience as a testament to SharkNinja's customer service and ethical standards. **********************: Reassess your approach to customer service, fraud prevention, and overall business ethics. Your customers, and those unjustly affected by your practices, deserve far better.

      We just tried calling ************ and left a voice message, we also sent an email.  After a review of your history for this unfortunate situation with our company.  You had been informed you will need to dispute the charges with the banking institution.  We had searched all the information you had supplied us the three emails and phone number and we can not find an account that links these payments.  If we could have found an account or order then things would be different, then we could dispute them with us.  The end result is you do need to resolve this with your banking institution.

      On October 12, 2023 I purchased a Shark Ninja vacuum cleaner serial number ************, model number ****** with a lifetime warranty. On January 22, **** this vacuum quit working, so I called the company on January 23, **** to report the issue. I was given incident number of #********. I was walked through some steps to determine that I needed a new motor for the unit. At that time, I was sent to the financial department and told that I would have to finish paying for this unit in full before they would ship the motor. I paid $416.55 to pay it in full. The confirmation number for payment was ********** and the shipping confirmation number was 153-78212. The unit never arrived. I called back on February 2, **** and was told that they were waiting on their financial department to send paperwork. I then called back on February 8, **** and was informed that they had canceled the order and no reason was ever given. So now I still have a new vacuum cleaner that is fully paid for but will not work. I was promised a new motor and for some reason, I have not received it. I want this unit replaced, repaired, or refunded as initially promised on January 23, ****.

      In the last few months, my Shark WANDVAC Cord-Free Handheld Vacuum (the "Product") no longer functions properly and will only turn on for approximately 10 seconds before shutting down. Based on my online research this issue appears to be quite common for the Product suggesting shoddy and poor manufacturing I originally believed that Shark manufactured strong, quality and durable products. Clearly, I was wrong. I will be informing all friends family and colleagues re my negative experience with Shark products the importance of word-of-mouth reviews should not be underestimated.

    BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. 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. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
