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]
This is the same response I continue to get from this business which is completely unacceptable. First of all I was refunded for one of the two placed orders. I have yet to see a refund for the other. Secondly, I never asked for a refund. This company claimed to have shipped the orders I paid for. I received tracking numbers and tracked them until delivery. However they never shipped them, but instead shipped me two letters. They falsely made me believe that I was going to receive the items and never once told me that I wasnt. I feel as though this company is using false advertising to steal peoples money and information. All I am asking for is to receive the item you confirmed I purchased and claimed to have shipped to me but never did. The item that I actually paid for! I do not want a refund!

Hello, Thank you for reaching out again. Your two orders were canceled due to a pricing error as you do know. Both your orders were refunded in full and we owe you no money. While I understand you would like this product for the price that we mistakenly had listed. We cannot honor this at this time. Clearly you know this was an error and feel that we owe the product at the wrong price. At this time this matter is closed. The wrong price cannot be honored at this time. Please consider this matter closed. Thank youInitial Complaint

I purchased a Focusrite Scarlett *** 3rd Gen *** USB Audio Interface Bundled with Headphones and 2 XLR Cables (4 Items) from Focus Camera LLC on the Amazon Marketplace (Order *******************) on September 5, 2022. Since making the purchase, I have made multiple calls to Amazon and the manufacturer trying to troubleshoot issues with the product. However, the issue has not been resolved. Now, the item is outside of the return window after completing all of the troubleshooting steps advised by the seller, manufacturer, and retailer. Upon contacting the seller through Amazon customer service today, I was advised no return was possible. I am requesting an exception for a refund of $189.99 plus $10.45 tax to the original payment method. Attached, you may find the original invoice for review.Business Response

Hello, I am so sorry to read that your item is not working as expected. I am sure you were told that your order was fulfilled by Amazon. Amazon should have helped you with this return, replacement or refund. We do not have any of your personal information with the order that you have placed. While you have a full manufacture warranty, Focusrite will help you to replace the defective item. Have you tried this? If you would like to discuss this further please feel free to email me directly to ********************************** I will be happy to help you. I look forward to hearing from you.

Bought a **** 85 inch 4K ** through Amazon and it arrived broken. I sent photos of the shattered ** and asked for a return label the very same day it arrived. Focus Camera **************** agreed to send a shipper to pick up this large, heavy ** under the return agreement with Amazon. after several attempts they sent emails telling me they were in contact with a shipper to return the *** Then nothing... Amazon sent them a notice and they changed their mind and refused to send a shipping label or a shipper pick up.. They continued with attempts to bill my **************** account for the ** even after Amazon has issued me a refund.Business Response

Hello, This was purchased on Amazon. We have no payment information to charge and recharge the customer. I have attached the order and pictures that were provided to us. I also attached is POD where the customer did sign and no damaged noted at all. At this time there is nothing we can do to help the customer with a damaged TV which might have happened in his care.
