  Purchased a "Misen PREMIUM 12" non stick frying pan" from amazon 2 years ago. Misen advertises a limited lifetime warranty. This is the sole reason I purchased a product from misen. My pan lost its nonstick & has rust showing. After doing some research I laned on wanting a carbon steel pan & also looked into the "limited lifetime warranty" by contacting misen for a replacement. After contacting misen I find out the "limited lifetime warranty" they advertise is only a 2 year warranty on this exact product. By the time I contacted misen it was only 4 months past the warranty expiration date. Misen support ignores the facts that the pan is clearly not showing wear and tear. The coating is simply just missing in parts of the pan. The pan was barely used. I understand non stick pans go bad over time. The fact is this pan was used less than 50 times and its already worse off than a 20$ pan from *******.I simply asked misen if they would be willing to do a warranty claim and exchange this obviously defective pan with a carbon steel pan. Which retails for less than the pan I purchased. But their support staff "***** and *****(apparently the manager)" was rude and dismissive. Basically ignored everything I said and focused on the fact that the product was outside the warranty date.

  Attached are the details of our Nonstick cookware warranty. We provided these details in a helpful and professional manner to our customer, and apologized that he was indeed outside of the warranty window when he contacted our team. Based on the images provided, there is no indication that there is a true defect with the product, but rather the Nonstick coating simply wore off, over time, as expected and detailed in the warranty policy.

  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:

  [Your Answer Here]

    Your warranty page clearly states all misen products come with a limited lifetime warranty. You need to stop lying to potential customers to get sales. You were not professional. You are pretending to be 2 employees but its obviously the same person; Your dismissive and rude attitude made it clear. You ignored everything I said. You even lied about what a limited lifetime warranty is. ****** didn't verify the order because its under my other email. It's obviously a real order; You even verified the order date. You guys are a broke *********** company. Can't even afford to honor your warranty. Its sad. Companies like you should not exist. I will no longer support misen. You guys are scammers. I don't care anymore. I already bought a new carbon steel pan from a de buyer. 

  the misen pan is clearly defective. The coating is worn only in certain sections. Showing rust. You are acting like I use a giant 12" nonstick pan all the time. I cook for 1 or 2 people. I use smaller pans. I have an 8" nonstick pan I use far more often that is in better shape. Non stick coatings don't go bad from sitting on a shelf. You can clearly see your pan is perfect most of the pan but rusted in a certain area.

  At the very least you need to change your warranty page and advertising to stop claiming all misen products come with a limited lifetime warranty. It is misleading. I would not have bought your nonstick pan if I knew the warranty was a lie. Your definition of a limited lifetime warranty is not correct. Its a pitiful way to mislead customers.

  My credit/debit card information was stolen (according to **********), through my Apple Pay. A purchase was made from this company and given that my identity was stolen through Apple Pay, the item was sent to my home. I called ********** to report the activity that it was not my purchase a few days later I received the package from this company. I proceeded to email them to let them know I did not make this purchase and I am willing to, send it back to them as they provided me the ** address from which it was ordered. I am waiting to receive a refund according to ********** they will not refund me the money because the package was delivered, yet I have offered to send it back with no response from the company. I would like a Refund and return package information. The item cost $226 and I would like someone for the company to get back to me in order to rectify this.

  I ordered a Misen pan order #******* on sale and I did not receive any information on the order until I reached out manually to where I got a response saying the item was shipped with a tracking link. The tracking link confirmed only the label had printed out and that **** did not receive the item. I tried to reach out for help multiple times only to get the same automated response every time Ive tried to get help on the website. I have been unable to get human help and with the ship date past the promised timeline and money paid I am stuck without any sort of solution and with no pan. I dont know how to get ahold of them further except for get automated responses.

  The customer was replied to by a human within 24 hours and we initiated a replacement order due to lack of movement on the original label.

  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:

  Although I was given a response by a person, Misen failed to give me a second tracking number for the reorder, and when I reached back out I got auto responses again. When I finally got a human again they told me they had to reorder the item yet again and claimed it is out of their hands once the carrier picks it up. Yet when I checked the carrier tracking it claimed that  they were waiting to receive the item and the label was just pre shipment printed, and when I asked for them to investigate further I got another automated response. Still no item and no valid tracking info saying an item has been shipped out.

  I received an email from Misen **** on Oct 7, 2023. Their Ad read as follows: "We Made Too Much- 50% Off. It further stated, "We're not perfect. Sometimes we make too much of a certain product. The great news is you can get 50% off, only while supplies last." I thought it sounded good, so I decided to treat myself to some new pans. I spent $456.27. At first, I tried to cancel the order, because immediately, I relized that I would not be home when they arrived, but they said that they could stop the order even thro I had just ordered them 5 minutes before. After getting the pans and unpacking them, I discovered the there of them were damaged, so I reached to their customer service. From the very begining, I let them know that I was not computer ***** and they were not to not to ask me to send pictures. Instead, I asked them to send me shipping labels, so I could return the three pans and they in turn could replace them with ones that were not damaged. They refused to send shipping labels, so I said I will send them myself, even thro I was not the one at fault. They replied with, "All Sales Are Final. And I understand that and I am trying to be really nice. After all, they Ad said, "We Made Too Much". It did not say, We Are Having A Scratch and Dent Sale. I am a 78 year old cancer patient on a fixed income. Only a idiot would spend $400+ dollars on damaged cookware, and I certainly am not an idiot. I was only seeking a replacement for the damaged pans, but I am really at the point that they can just refund my money. Like I said, I am on a fixed income. This was to be a Christmas present to myself. Now it seems more like an early Christmas nightmare. I am hoping you can help get this resolved. I have been following this company from the begining. I was even one of their Kick-Start customers, twice. I thought they were a good company, now I'm not so sure.

  I purchased a Misen nonstick pan in June 2022 - I did not actually receive the pan until July, due to a shipping mishap that was Misen's fault. Fast forward 6 months, and the nonstick coating on the pan had already begun to wear down. I contacted the company, but did not receive a response. I've tried to reach out several times since then, to no avail. It's unacceptable to pay over $100 for a pan that's only safe to cook with for less than 6 months. Save your money!!!

  Hi ***,

  Thank you reaching out to us. I'm sorry to hear that your Nonstick pan developed some issues over time. Upon checking our CRM platform, unfortunately, we never received your message regarding the Nonstick pan. We recently changed our CRM vendor into another and a bulk of the messages that were sent to us during the transition period was lost. Your message must've been included there.

  Having said that, we are now able to receive all messages from all of our channels. Would you mind reaching out to us via ******************************** or through the link below so we could provide a resolution to your Nonstick pan issue?

  Hoping to hear from you soon.

  Hi there,

  I'm sorry if you find our response unsatisfactory. The plain reason why we're trying to have them message us via our email is to get a clear picture of the issue of the product. We need photos to assess the problem and provide a resolution. As our policy, Nonstick pans are not generally covered by our lifetime warranty, as these pans are not designed to last a lifetime. We extend courtesy to replace Nonstick pans once we see that they are not performing as intended, or they were exhibiting some unusual defects. 

  See this link for proper Nonstick care: ******************************************************

  We hope they could send us some photos of the Nonstick pan via the email address: ******************************** or here, if possible. Thank you.

  Order number: #******* Order date: 04/15/2023 Order amount refund requested: chef knife price $73.44, $68 + $5.44 tax; orig. price $85 - 20% discount ($17)Issue type: refund request Description: I received a brand-new chef's knife from Misen and was dissatisfied with its quality and decided to request a refund in compliance with the company's return policy (free returns if within 60 days of purchase - no terms/conditions listed below their policy). Their return policy is linked below. I reached out to customer ************** 1st tried to get me to send the knife to get sharpened with a prepaid shipping label and I declined as I wanted a refund not a new product. After declining the request, the customer service agent told me in order to get a refund, i had to donate the product somewhere and get a receipt as proof. I checked the return ************** website to see if this was a requirement listed anywhere & couldn't find it . I let the customer service agent know i didn't have anywhere near me that i felt comfortable donating this the product to nor did i agree to do this as a requirement for a refund (note - I've never had a company request to do this and require a proof of donation, they typically just provide a refund and ask that you donate, but not require it). The customer service at ******************** refuses to process a refund unless i donate it + get proof & mentioned that they put a "pause on all returns back to our fulfillment warehouse" yet prior to that email they were willing to give a prepaid shipping label to try to sharpen the knife as a way to avoid a refund in my opinion. i find this incredibly frustrating as a customer as I'm willing to send it back per their policy & feel as if it's a way to dissuade refunds. I checked their ******** page's and see several customer complaints about this, so I'm certainly not the only one who's dealt with this issue.return policy: **************************************************************************** email correspondence: attached

  I ordered a fry pan from Misen on 28 Feb 2023. It is being shipped by FEDX. FED X shows my order has been in ******* since 3 March 2023. No further information. I contacted Misen three times via EMAIL and received no reply. They do not have a phone number so EMAIL is the only means of communication.I wonder if this company is still in business. I guess I am out my $55 for the pan.

  Hi There,

  Although uncommon, there might be a huge chance that his package got lost in transit. We have limited visibility and control over packages once it leave our fulfillment center and incidents like this could happen. We been in constant communication with them since April 24th when they brought this to our attention. Per attached communication thread herewith, we have already issued a replacement for ********** order to fulfill our obligation.

  I purchased a magnetic Knife Strip from Misen on 2/24 (#*******). I decided not to keep the strip because it didn't fit well across our cabinet and filled out a return form within one week of receiving the product. Since then I have filled out the return form 3 additional times. It's been almost a month and I've heard nothing about how to return this item to Misen. There is no phone number and their website says they typically respond within 24 hours. It feels entirely unfair to not respond to a customer trying to return an item, especially when they are trying to do so within a reasonable timeframe. I would like instructions for how to return this item (shipping should be paid for by Misen) as well as be refunded in full for the amount I paid. Happy to provide receipt of purchase if needed.
