    I was going to buy a full pallet from *****************************. In ************* but I figured Id buy a mystery box to get a feel on the products and service. And I got a feel. A very bad feeling. It took almost 3 week to come. After I emailed and called numerous times. Then I got it. I could find better items going through dumpsters outside of ******** store. And Im being as serious as I can when I say that. Unbelievable. Dirty used cheap. Stuff animals. A used MOP!! A burned cheap top for a small fish aquarium. I have a video I would love to show people. Oh. And a used baby tether toy!

    I purchased a large mystery box back on December 27 2024 and have reached out several time since then , since I haven't received the package I was sent a tracking number but the package hasn't been received (in January 2025) by the shipping place. I reached out again at the beginning February asking for a full refund and again yesterday. At this point I just want my money back and feel like I have been scamed by this company. They have reached out telling me sorry for the inconvenience and working on finding out what happened but again I just want my money back.

    I ordered two mystery boxes from Discount Headquarters on January 4th,2025,thinking it would be fun for my granddaughter to open. Only to find out that the company only answers to the BBB,they don't answer phone calls, emails and tracking only says they will contact when shipped. So I would either like the boxes or better yet my money back. This is totally a scam or so their acting that way.Thank you, ****** **** 2/15/2025
