Made an order for 2 calendars on January 2nd paying shipping($7.00) for a total of *****. My credit card was immediately billed. Website said **** days to receive. Received an email to confirm and one on Jan. 7th stating the following-Thanks for shopping with Calendars.com! Your order #******* is pending fulfillment. We appreciate your patience as we work to fulfill your order as quickly as possible. We will send you a shipping confirmation email once your order has shipped. Please be aware that pre-order merchandise will ship at a later date. You may check the status of your order here.That's the last I have heard. Tried calling but only put on hold. So far today I've been on hold for 40 minutes. I want to cancel the order. Needed these for gifts for dates that have passed.Business Response

Dear ***** & BBB,
Thank you for reaching out about the issues with your order. We are experiencing unprecedented shipping delays and I'm sorry it means your order will arrive too late for the event you purchased it for. I'm also sorry that this has lead to unacceptable wait times to reach my customer service team. We do offer live chat as a faster option to reach someone, but I know that isn't everyone's preference.
I see that you ordered on 1/2 and it did not ship until today, 1/17. I'm issuing you a full refund for the processing delays and due to you not being able to reach us to cancel. The $36.70 will go back to the **** used for the purchase within 3-5 business days. The order did ship today with Amazon freight TBA074293438104, so I'd expect you to have the calendars within 10 business days. No need to return them, please keep, gift or donate them. If you have any additional feedback or issues, please reply here or call me directly at ************.
Sincerely,

On Dec. 28 2023 I placed an order for three calendars. As of today Jan. 15, **** nothing has been shipped. This company , unlike most, does not wait until shipping to charge the credit card but takes the money immediately on receiving the order.I suppose that makes sense if they do not expect tp actually ship the goods.After multiple calls to their customer service department to cancel the order I only got multiple multi-hour sessions waiting on hold. What I want is to completely cancel the order and have them refund the money they took from my credit card.The order number is #*******.Business Response
Date: 01/17/2024
Hello ******* & BBB,
My sincere apologies for the delay in shipment on your order. We had a very unexpected burst of order volume at the end of December and early January, which combined with expected return volume at the beginning of this year, has created a backlog for our team. We are working through it as quickly as we can. I see you were in contact with Crystal * via phone on 1/15, we refunded the shipping costs ($7.97 that will return to your card within 3 business days) due to the delay. Your order shipped on 1/11 *****, which **** should deliver no later than 1/26/24, and can be tracked at www.ups.com with number: **************************. If you have any additional feedback or do not have your order in hand by next Friday please reply here or call me on my direct line at ************.

ordered calendars in November. They took payment from my Charge Card on November 14 for $50.50. I received an email on November 17 saying the order had been received and shipped. It never showed up on any tracking attempts and I still haven't received anything on this date of January 13, ****. They don't respond to any attempts to speak to them directly. I either want the calendars or a refund. NOW!Business Response

Hello ***** & BBB,
First my sincere apologies that your order from November was lost and never delivered- I can fully understand how frustrating that is. All the items you ordered are in stock and I've submitted a replacement order for you with express shipping due to the delays and issues with getting in touch with us. I know you have been an unerringly loyal customer and we truly appreciate that. I'm so sorry we missed the **** this year.The replacement order is *******, you'll see a confirmation email and shipping confirmation when it goes out. Please note any pricing info on the confirmation is in store credit of course. It should deliver to you by Monday 1/22 at the latest barring any weather issues or delays. Should there be anything you need or any other feedback you wish to share, you can message me here or call my direct line at ************. Thank you for reporting this and giving us a change to make it right.
Sincerely,

Date of the transaction was November 6, 2023.Order number was *******. Packing slip was correct, however none of the calendars I received were what I had ordered. I have contacted them thru their virtual assistant and email with no response. I have also tried to call multiple times and have waited over an hour for customer service with no answer.I would like to receive the calendars I ordered. If they are out of stock, I would like a refund.Business Response
Date: 01/16/2024
Hello ***** & BBB,
My sincere apologies for the packing error on your order, we do have quality control checks at checkout and it sounds like they were insufficient or missed. I've passed this along to our distribution team so we can strive to improve. One of my team leads ***** called and spoke with you yesterday as it seems you did not receive our email replies on 12/29 and then your 1/3 email was closed due to the notes indicating we'd already replied. Something I will look at as a customer service process and training issue. I'm so sorry that you did not hear back from us in a timely fashion after receiving wrong items and I completely understand why you went to the BBB, and I'm glad you did. As you and ***** discussed, he has issued a full refund to you since the items you really wanted to have are out of stock now. That refund should be on your card within 4 business days now. Please let me know if there is anything else we can do to remedy this.
Sincerely,

I ordered two calendars from Calendars.com on 12/10/23. My order confirmation number is *******. I was planning to gift the calendars as presents on Christmas.The calendars I ordered are as follows: Europe **** (Price $11.99 & Product Code ****00003862) and ********* **** (Price $6.74 & Product Code ****00004379).I emailed ******************************** twice. The first time I emailed was on 1/6/24 asking for an update. The second time was on 1/10/24 asking for a refund. No one has replied to my emails which is why I am reaching out to BBB for help resolving this matter. Thank you!Business Response
Date: 01/15/2024
Dear **** & BBB,
I'm so sorry your order that shipped on 12/15 did not track and deliver as expected. I have issued you a full refund of the $25.71 paid that should settle back to your card within 3-5 business days. We had a very unexpected burst of order volume and return volume at the beginning of this year and our small team is struggling to work through it. I see your emails in our queue from 1/6 and I expect we would have replied today or tomorrow as we are answering emails in the order we've received them.
My apologies for the worry and the wait, it it not the experience we strive to offer and typically achieve the majority of the year. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at ************ if you need any further assistance or do not see your refund back to your card by next Monday.
Thank you,

Hello ***** & BBB,
I'm so sorry for the frustration with your refund. I have looked into this issue and see that the funds were released from our payment processor back to your card on 12/26/23 by ********, so they should be showing in your account. I have emailed you a receipt from Cybersource, a ************* and our payment processor for this refund that shows it settled successfully on your end. I would be happy to schedule a time to speak with your bank on a three way call to further look into this if they cannot find the funds back on your card with the receipt attached here and emailed.

Ordered two calendars, that were "in stock" on 12/27/2023. It is now 1/10/2024, have not received my order. Was sent an email on 1/7/2024 that order has shipped. Was given a tracking number, and tracking number returns no shipping information...Contacted customer service and the said order was shipped on 1/8/2024. Will never order from them again... poor customer service. And processing an in stock order takes 14 days. Can not even provide proper shipping information, but was paid up front when order was placed.Business Response
Date: 01/16/2024
Hello *****,
Thank you for reaching out and I'm so sorry this has been such a poor customer experience. I'm very aware the shipping delays are unacceptable and understand your feedback and decision to not order with us again, though I'm sorry to hear it. For what it is worth, we are already working on improvements and planning for next year around the end of the year to be ready for a surge in orders, we were caught unprepared this year as it was an unprecedented occurrence.
I see that the order is tracking as out for delivery today with *** priority shipping. I'm not sure why there were no tracking updates or scans. You can see this information here: *********************************************************************************************************************;
My direct line is ************, please reach out if your order does not deliver today or message me back here- or if there is any other issue with the order or feedback you wish to share with me.

Dear ******** & BBB,
My sincere apologies for the wait time and frustration. We are experiencing much higher volume than typical this time of year and our phone wait times can be a few hours. We do offer a ************/ callback option from 8am-2pm CT and chat during business hours with shorter wait times. We are answering contacts in the order they were received as quickly as possible, though I agree our email turnaround is dismal at 7 days currently.
We will absolutely honor your desired settlement, I found your email with the details on the wrong title sent. My apologies for the error our warehouse made in picking and packing your order. I have issued you a refund for the wrong title of $13.41 and it should be back on your Mastercard within 3 to 5 business days. I wish you all the best in the year to come.
