    Timeline of Events:-Ordered $67.52 in candles and bulbs on 11/11/2023. -Notified on 11/14/2023 that shipping manager out due to sickness and may be delay in shipping. I emailed back no problem and asked for an eta. Received reply that product to be fulfilled and end of the week.-By 11/24/2023, no response and emailed back. Received response with **** tracking that order in facility as of 11/20/2023. -Emailed back 11/30/2023 requesting update as I ordered on 11/11/2023. Also notified that if this cannot be fulfilled I would like a refund. Owner ***** ******** replied putting the responsibility on me tracking down the order to contacting **** and that refund not possible In summary, business caused delay as admitted by their email. Ships late and now faces delivery issues and puts the **** on me, refusing to refund a product they are unable to fulfill. Email chain attached for confirmation Would ideally like them to fulfill their promise and have the product delivered. However, if they are unable to do so requesting refund

    Dear *******,

    We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced with your order's shipping. We understand how disappointing delays can be and appreciate your patience in this matter.

    Regarding the shipping update, we've faced unexpected challenges with our courier services, which have unfortunately affected your order. We're actively working to resolve this as swiftly as possible.

    We also want to clarify our process concerning refunds and cancellations. Once a claim is filed with a credit card company, our system, as governed by *******'s policies, restricts us from processing refunds or new orders. This policy is in place to ensure the security and integrity of transactions for both our customers and our business.

    We encourage our customers to contact the courier directly for the most efficient resolution in such cases. However, we understand this can be an added inconvenience. Our team is more than willing to assist further and explore alternative solutions.

    Unsure if business intent is genuine. They are contacting me same day outside of the BBB platform reinforcing their prior communication. See attachment for details

    Hello,

    We are physically unable to refund the customer now, as they have started a credit card claim before even waiting for the order to arrive. Very impatient. ******* does not allow us to refund customers when they file a credit card claim. The customer has been banned from our store as we believe this order to be fraudulent. They provided their shipping name as Me as the first name and Me as the last name, which is typical with fraudulent orders. We request this to be removed. Thank you.
