Purchase of shark ninja ****** made which developed multiple faults with all parts being replaced and finally a full vacuum replacement happened 27.04.21 and a warranty received dated 27.04.21 as per sttachements. Vacuum has low suction so contacted 02.01.23 and told would get replacement but would need to speak to escalations team who have now emailed me to tell me my warranty is out of date and only option is for me to purchase another vacuum so false information given as warranty should be 5 years and 2 years for batteryBusiness Response

I placed an order on December 25th for a NeverStick pot and pan set during a sale. I waited until the 29th as obviously it was the holiday season, but as of the 29th there still wasn't even a tracking number for my order. I emailed support on Dec 29th to ask why there wasn't even a shipping label yet and they told me there was a backorder on the product. Nowhere on their website does it indicate the item was back-ordered and when I checked the website, it still didn't reflect a back-order. When I replied that I was not satisfied with that response, suddenly there is a tracking number for my order. Four days later and there was no movement whatsoever. It still said the label was created, but wasn't given to ****** I replied to the email to ask why there was a further delay in the shipping, I was told there is a delivery delay and I'd have to wait until January 19th before a "reshipment" would even be attempted. How can there be a delay when the package has apparently not even left the warehouse? Why was I told there is a back-order if there wasn't one? Or is there one and they just made a label to quell my complaints? At this point, I feel like I'm just being lied to and I have asked for contact info for someone who can assist, but received no reply.Business Response

I purchased a Shark vacuum on 06/06/2022 from ********************* in the amount of $399.99 plus ***** shipping and handling and tax $23.48 tax total amount $450.46, in addition on that same day I purchased an extended warranty for three years for $79.99 through Fingerhut. On 09/02/2022 I reported to fingerhut that I was having trouble with the brush roller cutting out, they in turn told me to call the warranty department at Shark which I did, at the time when I turned the brush roller on for them to hear. it began to work so they would not fix the vacuum. I called Shark again on 01/02/2023 to inform them that the brush roller would not turn on and was told by them that the part was not under warranty and it would cost me $89.99 to fix it. This company hasn't even honored the 1 year warranty. I called Fingerhut back and they switched me over to ************** which I was given a label to send the vacuum to them, they told me to report Shark/Ninja to the BBB because they were in non-compliance with the year warranty. This is a motor malfunction, nowhere in the warranty does it say the motor is not covered.Business Response

I purchased the Ninja Foodi Neverstick 13-piece pot set on April 25, 2022, and the sauce pot has begun to peel. I called to report the issue and was told the small pot wasn't available and is no longer manufactured separately but is a part of a set. ***** also attempted to send me mismatched pieces. I was also told I would have to pay $20 for shipping for a bigger pot. I told the customer service rep I paid the extra money so they all would stack. The bigger pot means it wouldn't fit on my shelf. The customer service rep didn't care and could offer me the bigger pot. I said they could send me a new set, and the old set would be returned. The lady (***********************) became rude and wasn't helpful. I asked for the supervisor and was told one wasn't available. The supervisor would tell me the same thing. Then ***** said she requested a callback, but it would be ***** hrs. This is unacceptable. The 10-year warranty and paying $500 for a set to have it become unusable in 9 months is absurd. This is a total bait and switch. Ninja has to know the project is defective and only includes the 10-year warrant to get our money.Business Response

I purchase products from SharkNinja in early November 2022. I was charged $817.47 for all my products. I received 1/3 of the products purchased. I then received 9 emails saying that the rest of my products shipped but email had no tracking number. I contacted SharkNinja every time I received an email and they informed me that the products were out of stock when the 1st shipment was sent but they were them being prepared for shipment every time I received an email. Every time I contacted them, I asked to speak with supervisor but was informed that they did not have any supervisors available to speak with me. It is now the end of December and I still do not have all my product but they have all my money. Today a supervisor contacted me and told me once again that the rest of my product is being shipped and when I receive it, I could return what I did not want for a refund. I no longer need this product and just want my money back for the items I did not receive.Business Response

Created account on ninjakitchen. Saved my address on account. Saved daughters address on account. The site will not allow to save CC information. Ordered OL701 and cookbook. Checkout site does not allow selecting daughters shipping address. Unchecked same as billing. Manual put in her address. Used PayPal as payment. Order auto canceled next day. Tried again using credit card. CC is different card than PayPal. Same manual entry of her address and my billing. It auto canceled. Called Support. Said to try again. Before doing this, called CC bank. There is no stop, hold, security trip. Issue is Ninja side. Checked PayPal. It shows waiting on Ninja to process. Issue on Ninja side. Tried a third time using CC. Auto canceled next day. Called Support. Ninja stated they would look at why and contact next day. This turns out to be a false statement. The site not saving a CC info and not allowing to select different shipping address that is saved in the *** suspect the ** record is corrupt. Looking to find out if Ninja wants to make a sale. Also learn why Ninja does not follow through with promises made. Already missed Christmas for daughter. And looks like the Jolly70 discount will disappear. Also want to learn how to make a purchase from Ninja as there is no call by telephone to make an order.Business Response

Ninja response was a slick sidestep answer. Did not answer the question, did not supply an answer and ignored the issue. I was never able to purchase the product through my account with Ninja. No explanation of why the purchase was rejected. I proved and provided evidence the failure is on the Ninja side. Ninja did not repair the issue and provide assistance to make a purchase. The sole path for a purchase is via the website and not like a normal business who has a call in sales number.
The only way to obtain the missed Christmas present was to ask my son to make the purchase and I sent hm the funding. All of this was carefully explained over a phone conversation with a Ninja representative.
As this was the actual way my daughter received the product, the PUBLIC response by Ninja to this unresolved underlaying problem is simply to spin a success statement.
As such, the public should be aware of Ninja does not appear to be interested in supporting customers and will engage in obfuscation to appear to be concerned to resolve problems, but rather spin an answer to appear like they will actively help their customers.

I purchased a shark robot vacuum on Black Friday 11/25 on the Shark website. Today is 12/27 I have still not received any item. I get constant emails everyday that my item has been shipped but the tracking numbers do not exist. Every single day they attempt to charge my credit card and do not complete the order or ship any item. After weeks of this I placed a call to shark in which they claimed the item was on backorder and they would be getting a shipment that day on 12/10 and claimed it would arrive in the next **** days. I have yet to receive an actual working tracking/shipping number. I called to cancel the order on 12/24 and shark claimed they could not cancel the order because the order status is preparing to ship. However every single day it gets put in that status and nothing ever gets shipped! I want my order cancelled immediately and I want there to be an investigation into the way this company is fraudulently handling their orders. They are running a scam and this is absolutely ridiculous.Business Response

Website states free shipping, on checking out adds $25 international charge which I decided to accept as I do live in ******. On checking out it wouldnt accept my address.

I have been receiving daily texts with discount to an 808 number which is a ****** phone number to discover they cannot process any order as I live in ******.

I purchased a Shark AI Robot Self-Empty Shark AI Ultra Robot Vacuum with XL HEPA, and a lifetime warranty. My Shark AI disconnected from the wifi and would not reconnect. I went through all the troubleshooting options that were given on the app (turning the robot on/off, restarting the robot, uninstalling/reinstalling the app, restarting the wifi router, and restarting my phone). I also deleted my Shark robot from the app and started to try and reconnect the device to the app/wifi. I then called customer support, where I did the same things I had already done, just with a customer support agent on the line. I was even on a video call with the agent showing him all the steps I had gone through. The agent told me he had to replace the "pod" (I would have to replace the brushes and battery pack and place them on the new "pod" and send the old "pod" back). He said that the "pods" were out of stock and that it would take a month to get a new pod sent to me despite being under warranty I asked what other options there were because I use the shark robot on a regular basis less than 4 months ago, and I purchased the device because we have allergies. He said because I was refusing the replacement pod that my 2nd option was to pay 30% of the purchase price for a new device to be sent to me. I asked multiple times why I had to either wait a month for a replacement pod or pay 30% of the purchase price for a new device to receive it sooner. I did not get a response. I informed the agent that the 1 year warranty does not indicate that I would have to wait an extended period of time or pay 30% of the purchase price for a new device. I informed the agent that they are shifting the issue of not having replacement pods to the consumer. This does not make sense because they would send me a new device immediately if I agreed to pay 30% of the purchase price of a new device. They should have sent me a new device immediately because it is under warranty.Business Response
