04/11/23 I placed an online order for the Ninja Foodi NeverDull Premium 17-piece K set for $342.05 (Order# ********-00). I used my PayPal account to pay for the purchase for online safety. I received the product shortly after and was very pleased with the quality of the knife set. On 04/20/23, I received an email from Shark Ninja stating that my payment didn't go through. I was confused because I already had my knife set, and now I was receiving a message saying they couldn't collect my payment from PayPal. I thought it was a scam and researched before contacting them back. Once I reached the number, I talked to a guy who told me that it was ******'s fault and that I needed to contact it to see why they were not sending Shark Ninja the funds. He also told me that he would contact his department to have them try to retake the payment. I called PayPal right after I hung up and was told that it was Shark Ninja's fault and that I had plenty of funds available and charges weren't being blocked. The PayPal Representative explained that when you place an online order and use PayPal to purchase an item, the seller is supposed to push through a pending hold to make sure the funds are available, which Shark Ninja did. Once the product is shipped, the seller is supposed to request that the funds be deposited into their PayPal vendor account, which has yet to happen. I called again because I received a second notice on 5/7/23 telling me the payment failed and I would be sent to collections if I did not contact them with payment. I have been calling several times to try and get them to bill my credit card and everything. Payment has yet to be taken today, yet they sent me to collections. This is a terrible way to run a business. I have perfect credit, and this better not hit my credit report because I've been trying to pay you, scammers, repeatedly! Buyers beware! They even tacked a few extra dollars on compared to what my original receipt shows.Business Response

I purchased a Ninja CE251 coffee maker on 7/21/2022. It is not used daily, and in fact was not used for several months. This past Sunday May 14 2023 I used the coffee maker and the carafe leaks all over a brand new white counter top. I had a conversation with customer support yesterday and even did a live video chat showing the problem. She told me the best they could do was to sell me a new carafe at a discount.This is a $100.00 coffee maker that has been barely used and not even a year old. I would expect a carafe to last longer than that and to be sent a replacement since its less than a year old. I tried brewing again today and after the brew taking the cover off the carafe to see if that was the problem. It doesnt matter if you pour slow or fast, it still drops under the thick black plastic down the glass carafe I am not asking for a new coffee maker, I just want a replacement carafe that actually works correctly free of charge since its less than a year oldBusiness Response

I purchased a ninja creami from ******* on 3/29/2023 and paid $150 for it. Since then, I have followed all instructions in the users manual and on two occasions now have wound up with pieces of plastic in my ice cream. The blade is scraping the sides of the pint and as a result I've both eaten and served ice cream with shards of plastic in it. I have contacted ninja twice via phone in the past month. Their customer service was awful and the individual on my last phone call accused me of lying and told me it was safe to eat plastic. They have sent a new pint and a new base, but have not addressed the problem and Im still seeing plastic in my ice cream. I have seen other complaints about this particular model (NC300) causing this issue for other consumers. This is a serious health concern and I believe the device should be recalled and individuals should be compensated.Business Response

I wish there was an option for 0 stars. Quite possibly the worst customer service that you will ever experience. I purchased a ninja creami deluxe - $264.41 and the item arrived without any of the pint containers that you have to have to use the machine. I immediately contacted them and they told me they would send replacements and that it would take **** days to receive. Fast forward, I still havent received the pints and it appears either they have sold out of the pints are are no longer stocking the item. I called in and after waiting on hold for **************************************************************** back. I called back in and was given a resolution totally different that the previous one provided and when I asked to speak with her they told me she was unavailable. I requested to speak with a supervisor and they told me none was available and that someone would contact me between 1 to 4 hours. 5 hours later I called back and they told me no one was available again. I went back to work and missed a call several hours later and called back, and they again told me no supervisor was available and I would have to wait an additional 1-4 hours for a returned call. The next day, the supervisor called me and didnt offer any different resolution other than waiting an unspecified amount of time since the part is out of stock. Ive been waiting since April 23rd for the delivery and after contacting support, I was basically told to just keep waiting and it would arrive at some point within the next 3 weeks hopefully because the items are on back order due to high demand.Meanwhile I have this ugly machine on my counter that I can use in no way and cant even return because they say it isnt defective. I will never purchase any of their products again. I would like the replacement part immediately or an item of equal or lesser value to replace the one that cant function without the missing part.Business Response

I have reviewed the response but it gets me nowhere closer to a resolution than the previous agents before. The fact remains that I still do not have the parts needed to operate the machine, and will not have it for at least 3 additional weeks, after already waiting patiently to have it resolved

My Shark vacuum stopped holding a charge less than a year after purchase. When I called customer service about my device not holding a charge, I was asked to pay $20 plus $10 shipping for a new charger, as this was apparently not covered under the warranty. The new charger did not change the fact that my Shark vacuum does not hold a charge, so I called customer service again. **************** said they would send me a new device, though I would have to pay ANOTHER $20 or $30 for shipping. This was two weeks ago and I have no new device nor even a tracking link to show for the exorbitant shipping fee I paid on top of paying for the useless new charger. **************** is clearly set up to get the customer to spend even more money before they will bother to help you. I now haven't been able to properly vacuum for weeks due to all the waiting and it is exacerbating my spring allergies. I was impressed by the product while it worked but the nickel-and-diming from Shark customer service has ensured that next time, I will purchase a Dyson. I will no longer recommend Shark products to my friends, colleagues, and relatives after this experience.Business Response

I ordered deluxe pints and lids for ***** plus tax and shipping, total *****. Apparently they were out of what I ordered and sent regular pints instead and these dont work with the machine I also recently bought. When I called to speak to them they said that they had shipped what I ordered. Someone had gone into the system and changed the item and price of what I had ordered. I returned the shipment because I cant use them and they are only refunding me for the lower value item that they sent and I returned. They owe me ***** and I would like the full refund. Their customer service agents were rude and when I called them on the bait and switch, they tried to tell me that what they sent would work in my machine. So you are out of the more expensive item, you replace it with something cheaper and then tell me its my mistake and refund me for less than I paid. Thats just not good business and I am going to guess its probably not legal. Totally shady.Business Response

We purchased a shark vacuum through Walmart.com on December 11,2022. The vacuum has been inoperable since May 2 2023. We have been online and on the phone trying to work with customer care to fix the issue. However the only solutions we have been given were to pay for the shipping of the parts that *** or *** not fix the issue. The vacuum is only 4.5 months old with a 1 year warranty. When I asked to speak with a supervisor the Romanian CCare rep ******* said that it would not be possible to speak to anyone but her. The subtotal pre ship and tax is ****** the warranty parts were going to cost ** half the cost of a new product. I want only to get a full refund and to sever all ties with shark. The lack of care and horrible treatment of my wife during this process has been the final straw that we cannot repair. The ticket number we have been communicated about is #********Business Response

Today following up on the May 9, 2023 email I contacted Sharkninja ******** care. I was placed on hold for ***** minutes the first time. Then when I hung up and called back was told no one from a supervisor position was available. Sharkninja in the email as a response to the filing has said they tried to call me. This is false as they called my wife and left a muffled response that you cannot understand any directions or instructions. I will be the only point of contact for this moving forward. I left my cell phone this morning, I also stated this phone number works 7-5 Monday through Friday.
We have spent too much time on this company already only to have been frustrated and told to pay for the warrantied device 1/3 of the original cost which we paid 4.5months ago.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I purchased a kit of 2 shark air purifier replacement filters on 02/05/23 in the amount of $ *****. My order number is Order # ********-00. On 02/08/23 I received an email from Shark Home with a tracking number and estimated delivery dates. I have attached a copy of email with tracking and receipt of purchase. I clicked on the link to follow tracking a couple of days after but the tracking information was still at label created. I gave it a little more time. I called Shark in March and I was told that my item was on back order and it would be in stock in about 5 weeks. Mind you when I initially placed the order this was never specified to me. So I decided to wait in April I reached back out to Shark since tracking information hadnt been updated to get the status of my order. I was then told that the item was no longer available and was discontinued. I asked for a refund and I have been back and forth with Shark since. I have spoken to several representatives and supervisors, to be told that I would receive my refund with 3-5 business days and I havent. At this point I just want my money back since my order was never filled. Thank youBusiness Response
