      I originally ordered repair of my Neato Botvac 7 on December 27, 2024 through their website. I purchased the additional shipping options to have a box sent to me and was initially impressed with the quick shipping of the box and the form-fitting support for secure shipping of the botvac.
      On January 22, 2025 they confirmed via email that they had received my robot and estimated a repair estimate on or around 2/12/2025.
      On 2/28/2025 I received an email estimate of repair that requested authorization to charge my card on file. There were no instructions on authorizing the charge, so I responded to the email approving the charge.
      I didn't hear back from the company and I assumed everything was fine, but on 3/13/2025 I again received an email estimate of repair that requested authorization to charge my card. I checked my card and noticed nothing had been charged, so I again responded with authorization. I also requested that if there was a different way for me to authorize to please let me know.

      It is now May 3, 2025. I have made multiple attempts to contact the company via emails and by phone to try and figure out the status of my repair. My card has not been charged for the estimated repair, only for the initial diagnostic and shipping. The phone numbers always lead to a voicemail and I never get to talk with a person. My online account only shows my order as "Pending."

      I want my robot back fixed.

      I accept the business's response to resolve this complaint. Approximately 3 days after I received the business's original response, I received notification of tracking for a package. The next day I had my repaired robot in my possession. In addition, the business shipped some additional robot accessories. Thank you for your assistance.

      I placed an order to have my Neato Robotic Robot repaired on July 19th, 2024. I shipped them my robot and they sent me an email indicating that they received the robot on July 30th, 2024.

      I then received an email on August 5th, 2024 outlining the charges to fix my robot and asking for my approval. I emailed them back permission to move ahead with the fix and authorized them to charge my credit card.

      On August 7th, 2024 I received an email from "Nancy" indicating that there were problems with my credit card and they couldn't process my payment.

      I emailed back asking for information on how to get them payment, as I wasn't going to send my CC info in an email.

      I never heard anything back. I tried emailing on 8/14, 8/19 and again today, 8/26. I have also tried to call multiple times and they just have a voicemail box saying to email Nancy and not to leave a message. I did. I didn't hear anything back, so I a few days later I left a message as well as an email. No luck.

      I want my robot back fixed. Please help me get a response from this unresponsive company.

      I mailed my Neato in for repair using the provided envelope. I received an email from Funai stating the Neato was received on 3/19 and that they would have the repair completed by 4/9. It is now 4/14 and I do not have my Neato back nor have they been reaponaive to any of my inquiries on estimated time to complete and return my Neato. I’ve left 3 voicemails and sent 2 emails.

      I simply want my Neato back, fixed…. What I paid for.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because: Funai reached out on 4/19 to collect payment. I authorized them to charge my credit card on 4/19 (which they did). I asked them for a update on when I should receive my vacuum back (on 4/19 and 4/25) and they have not responded. Based on an email they sent when I originally sent my vacuum in for repair, I should expect to have the vacuum back by 4/19. It is now 5/1 and I have no vacuum and the only communication is around payment (which I consented to and they processed)

      We would like to apologize for the late reply. 
      Customer was contacted 05/01 and was updated on payment needed for repair. We also received update from our Neato team about an in internal issue we were having with our fedex account. 
      We have since printed a special label and unit has been shipped and returned back to customer. 
      The unit was delivered back to customer 05/03.  
      We appreciate customers patience regarding the repair. 
      Since the unit was repaired and returned, we now consider this matter closed.

      I sent in my Neato for repair. Communication was delayed, but that was fine initially. On 10/16, about two weeks after they received the robot, they reached out with an itemized bill for the repairs saying: "As soon as we receive your authorization for payment we will complete the repair and ship Robot back to you." I paid that day. On 10/26 I emailed them asking for an update as they said they'd be finished on 10/24 but I hadn't heard anything. No one responded and I sent another email on 11/2. On 11/3 they responded now saying the main board needed to be replaced but they couldn't get one and now the robot needs to be disposed of or returned to me broken. I replied with their prior communications stating that they'd fix it and ship it back once I paid asking what was going on. It's now 11/13 and I still haven't received a response.

      I accept the business's response to resolve this complaint. They reached out and said that they sent the wrong information to me and instead that my robot was fine and they shipped it back. 

      I think this is probably the reason why, so thank you. 

      Thanks!

      I contacted this horrible company and they told me that I need to setup a repair for my tv. I told them I'm not comfortable with covid and they told me that's the only option. I asked for an exchange and they said that wasn't available. I asked them to make an exception. They have done the same for other customers as indicated in bbb reviews

      Business Response

      Date: 04/06/2023

      We are in reply to customers complaint. 
      We would like to apologize for the inconvenience. We fully understand customers refusal to allow a certified technician to repair the unit under warranty due to COVID. Our chat agents did provide an alternative, which would have been to arrange a pick up with the servicer once customer had contacted the Authorized Service Center to arrange a pick-up which would have been a contactless service.
      Customer refused the contactless service and did not contact the servicer. 
      Again we understand customers eagerness. Our Contact Center will be reaching out to customer to offer a full refund for the unit. Our staff will provide further information along with the guidelines following our Manufactures Warranty process. 
      We thank customer for their patient while we arrange for a call back. 
      We now consider this matter closed.

      Hello,

      I submitted a dispute with Funai last month. on April 6th, they responded saying they would be reaching out to me to resolve my issue. I accepted the resolution anticipating they would be reaching out to me. It's been over a month now, and I haven't heard from them at all.

      Can you please reopen the complaint?

      Business Response

      Date: 05/19/2023

      We would like to apologize for the delayed response. We noticed a discrepancy in the resolution and the outbound call was not made to the customer after the Refund was approved by management. 
      Our Call Center team will be reaching out to customer today. If customer does not answer the phone our team will leave a detailed message to contact us back so we can proceed with offering the refund following our Manufacturer's Warranty Process. 
      We can again would like to apologize for the delay.

      I am rejecting this response because: I received a call from the customer service center last friday, May 19 saying they would be emailing me a form to fill out to get my refund. I have not received any form nor have I received any email from customer service to complete this action. This is the 2nd time where I was told that customer service would follow up with me and they have not. They have my information. They do not need me to fill out another form at this point. They have my address and they can mail me a check for the refund as they already promised to provide. I'm not waiting another week for them supposedly to send out another form via email that I will not receive. Please send me check to my home address immediately. If I do not receive the check soon, I will be further escalating this issue to the executive team at Funai.



      Regards,

      We would urge customer to follow the guidelines of our Warranty Refund process. 
      If customer has not received the email with attachment, customer is free to return out phone call.

      This process is not unique to customer, it is part of our manufacturer's warranty process we offer. 
      We will request another call back from our Contact Center team.

      Please note, the Refund has been approved, all customer needs to do now is either contact our team or follow the process as instructed on our guidelines.

      Hello;

      I purchased a television that was still under manufacturers warranty when it failed. I started the process of talking to the manufacturer's agent (Funai) on September 26th/2022 (Case#******) regarding warranty service. I was promised a refund within 4 weeks and told to scrap the television (I received permission to scrap the television on Oct 5th/2022), which I did. It has not been over 6 months without said refund, even after numerous calls to Funai, They claim the funds have been sent and the issue is closed, but that is not the case (Cheque Reference #338605). The actual total of the refund should be $548.00 plus tax, but they claim the cheque was sent on November 17th/2022 for the incorrect number of $448.60 and was supposed to arrive within 14-17 days). I have still not been payment.

      Business Response

      Date: 04/06/2023

      We are in reply to customers complaint. 
      We would like to apologize to customer for the overdue delay in receiving their Refund check. We would like to re-assure customer we are working on re-processing the check as soon as possible.

      The delay was not cause by customers, we are dealing with an unusual discrepancy with our bank that has delayed customer receiving the refund check. Unfortunately our Call Center staff does not have real time access to our accounting team. We have been providing the only status available to our department, which was the check showed on our end it had cleared our bank. 

      Again we would like to apologize for the delay. Our accounting team is working on re-issuing the refund check and will prioritize the delivery. Once we have tracking information, we will reach out to customer and provide update. 

      Customer has been contacted earlier this week and was already provided with this information. We consider this matter closed as we provided a resolution.

      On 7/13, I sent in my Neato vacuum for repair. Order # 13716. I paid Funai a total of $80 for the repair. Funai sent back the vacuum, but it does not work and was not properly repaired. The company has failed to respond to phone inquiries and multiple email inquiries about properly repairing the vacuum or refunding my $.
