  My credit card was charged for a frame on March 30 and I was told my item shipped on April 1st. I have emailed this company seven times and have not received my product. I have also notified my bank given them charging me and not delivering a product is fraud.

  I purchased a frame and realized it would not fit my project. I tried to make a return and the company wanted to charge me the full shipping amount to send it back. When I asked how to avoid this (which is reasonable, considering I purchased this on ******), they offered me a 50% refund instead. That's not acceptable to me. I am entitled to a full refund for the product that I no longer need. How can a company keep 50% of my money and give me no other course of action?

  Business Response

  As per our return policy, the customer can return the item and will be refunded for the full order minus the shipping costs, both ways.
  that is our return policy. 
  
  The customer did note that they "no longer wanted the item". as such, this is an issue on their side and they need to take responsibility for that. 
  While we understand that return shipping can sometimes cost a lot more than the item itself when shipped back and because the customer reached out for an alternative, we offered one. They can keep the product and try to find a different use for it, and we would offer a partial refund as a courtesy. If this courtesy policy does not work for them, then they can return the item for a full refund minus shipping costs both ways as per our policy. 

  on top of this, the customer started to threaten us with negative feedback which they clearly just started with here. Threatening with negative feedback is never a way to request help. As this is an order that was processed on ******, the return needs to go through amazon.

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  The company did not post their return policy on ****** and nowhere on their website does it mention that the customer is responsible for return shipping. 
  

  In this case, the company needs to take responsibility for their products and stop acting like a shady online seller. My threats of negative reviews are not threats. They are truthful and accurate and the company knows this.

  This is not our return policy. We merely sell our items on the Amazon platform and have to abide by their rules. The return policy, is Amazons', and when you click on the link from your Amazon order page they do list their full policy that we are beholden to. We offered the options available to us prior and would again encourage you to revisit those.

  I placed an order for two matching frames and paid for faster shipping on 8/28/2024. The frames that arrived on 9/2/2024 did not match on all sides. I communicated with customer service immediately, providing photos and descriptions. A "replacement" frame was sent without any sort of faster shipping or attached hanger and arrived 9/10/2024. The color of the "replacement frame" was even less of a match. Again, I communicated with customer service immediately, spending over 30 minutes in an online chat, providing photos and descriptions. The resolution reached was that I would receive a $20 refund (due to the delayed shipping) and another replacement frame that matched, had a hanger, and would be sent with faster shipping. The next day on 9/11/2024, I was sent the attached email from customer service. The phrases used such as "antique appearance"/"antique-colored"/"unique"/etc are listed no where under the frame's description. My total paid was also $108.71, not $20+$68.71=$88.71 as suggested by customer service. My original order confirmation that shows this total is attached as well. As a consumer, I do not have the bandwidth or energy to follow up with this company any further, but would like a full refund at this point or simply a matching frame as ordered.

  I am also getting text messages 2 to 3 times a week every week for the last three months. I keep replying that I dont want them anymore. Please stop. By law, youre supposed to stop soliciting if you have been asked to stop. Your text messages are excessive and against privacy laws.

  Recent I have been constantly spammed with text messages from these guys with offers and discounts and whatnot. I havent even done business with them since, I think 2018. I tried to log into my account to stop it, but the unsubscribe for 'number' button just says my number isn't subscribed. I also tried to message them through their site, but its so buggy that my message failed to send twice...I don't know what brilliant mind at arttoframe thought this was a good idea, but Spamming long ago served customers relentlessly isn't the best way to convince them to shop with you again.I'd like them to delete all of my personal information, delete my account, and cease all contact with me.

  I keep receiving text messages (1-2 times a week) about deals, even though I have unsubscribed from alerts and after every text message I block the number and report it as spam. They keep texting back with a new number. Hitting 'STOP' to cancel also doesn't work.

  Ordered a frame with glass for a client who purchased an artwork from me. This frame arrived well packaged but after removing packaging, I found a chip in the corner. I cant very well ask my client to pay fro a frame with a chip.I emailed the company on the defective frame. The person who emailed me back, *** has deducted ship costs from the original payment. I should not have to pay for any ship costs and the return label should be free of charge.

  I ordered a custom frame and mat on ArtToFrame website on 10/31/2022. After submitting the order I got an error message and never got a confirmation email. So I placed the order again... Exactly the same frame, this time the order went through and I got a message on my screen saying the order was received. I did NOT get an order confirmation email. The next day I get two emails that show my orders have shipped but there is nothing on the emails that say what is in each shipment. The two shipments weigh two different amounts so I assume that one is the frame and the other is the mat. (Why are two exact same size frames being shipped with such different weight amounts?).The packages arrive and it is both the initial order and the secondary order (two frames/mats that are exactly the same). When trying to return the extra one I am being told that they don't send return labels.. that I have to ship it back myself. The cost to ship is as much as the frame. If ArtToFrames doesn't want returns they should 1) send out an initial order confirmation email that includes what is in the order. 2) the shipment email should include details of what is in the order. The duplication could have been stopped right away had that been done. I just want them to send me a return label so i can return the duplicate and get my refund. I can provide pictures of the shipment emails but I can't attach here as they have personally identifiable information on them.

  HI ******
  Looking at your orders I do see there 2 separate orders placed for 2 different items 
  one order was for the custom frame only, 
  And the other order was for a custom frame and a separate mat
  
  
  It seems both orders were processed and shipped out separately
  As one order was just for a mat itself and no frame, the packaging will be different thus not weighing the same amount. 
  
  
  If you would like to donate the item to a local charity of your choice
  I can process for a refund on the frame, and you would not have to send the item back. 
  
  
  Kind Regards
