      On 1/16/2023 I visited Panini America's website, Panini Direct. I was searching for some cards to purchase. I found myself on a screen of the website which showed a picture of a pack of "Mosaic" branded cards for $10.00 per pack. The site shows an actual picture of a pack and includes verbiage such as "Includes.... insert..." This leads me to believe this is a physical pack of cards. I made the purchase based on this assumption. I learned immediately following my purchase this was not a real pack of cards. I immediately called the company on a phone number listed on the website. I spoke with a gentleman named ****. **** is the "Director of Panini Direct." I requested a refund. After requesting a refund we debated the meaning of "real." **** felt that a digital picture of a card was "real." I did not. After the poor customer service received from **** he stated he was not sure a refund could be issued. This seemed strange as he was the "Director of Panini Direct." I informed him that I would be filing a BBB complaint. The *** visited with the misleading advertising is: *************************************************************************************************

      Dear Valued Panini Customer,   

      We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused by your issue. It's stated in the title and product description that it is an NFT pack. Before checking out it asks for personal information "TO START USING THE CRYPTO MARKET SERVICES." Unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to refund you as these products are final sale but moving forward, anything under the " Panini Blockchain" will be NFT products so be aware. If you have any more questions about our product, please feel free to contact the toll-free line I provided below.

      Dear Valued Panini Customer, 

      We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused by poor communication in the past. We appreciate your patience and would love to help you with your concerns. For redemptions, after the original 120 waiting period for your redemption, if we have not received the signature from the athlete you are prompted with different options. You can either replace the redemption with a replacement card (another card of equal or greater value), Panini Points, or other alternatives that we have available. Due to the number of athletes returning cards after release date, we are experiencing a backlog in fulfilling replacement card requests. Rest assured, we will fulfill requests as the players return their cards. However, if you choose to wait for the original redemption, we will notify you via email once a shipment is being created. To find out what other alternatives we have available please call the redemption toll-free phone number to hear more.

      I have had a Redemption for a ********************* auto for >2 months now and have requested a replacement for this card and another outstanding redemption (************************* auto /25) and have received no response to even one of my requests. I have sent well over 50 emails over the last couple months to Panini and had numerous calls, website contact attempts, etc. that have been completely disregarded. I had a terrible experience with them on my last redemption replacement (sent a card with very low value for my high value redemptions) and should have learned.I need this taken care of.

      Customer Answer

      There is now three redemptions that I have been requesting be combined for one high end replacement. The exact message that I have sent to Panini Support without any response/acknowledgement is included below:

      "Hello,

      I hope you are having a great day. I know things are probably super busy for you right now, so I really appreciate you taking the time to read this.

      My message is in reference to the following redemptions that have been In Progress for quite some time:

      TICKET ID: *******
      Player: *********************
      Product: 2021 Panini Prizm (21*22)
      Feature: Rookie Flashback Signatures, Autograph

      TICKET ID: *******
      Player: *************************
      Product: 2021 Playoff Contenders Optic
      Feature: Autograph, Serial Numbered (/25), Perrenial Contenders Autographs

      TICKET ID: *******
      Player: *******************************
      Product: 2022 Panini XR
      Feature: Autograph, Serial Numbered (/149), Rookie Swatches

      I had a very poor experience last time I redeemed with you guys * I had to wait 6+ months and combine 7 redemptions for 1 high end replacement and received a ******************* sticker auto that was offcenetered and had two really soft corners. I ended up selling the redeemed card for $1000+ less than my individual redemptions were worth and I'm really worried about having a similar experience with this card, as it means a lot to me and I am hoping to avoid something like that this time around.

      I fear this experience is heading in that direction. When I got this ********************* Rookie FB Auto I was ecstatic to say the least, but since then I've tried reaching out to you guys over 50 times now with this request and I have gotten no acknowledgement even once.

      I now have come into possession of an ************************* #/25 Autograph and a ******************************* 2022 XR Rookie Swatch Autograph /149 redemption that I am looking to include in my replacement request in order to get a high end replacement sent out.

      I would like to request a replacement for my three combined redemptions. Preferences below in order:

      1. *********************: 1/1 and/or Rookie Auto (On Card) * preferred higher end Brand (National Treasures, Flawless, etc)

      2. White ***** ***

      3. Black ***** ***

      Please let me know if there's anything you need from me.

      Sincerely,

      ***********************"

      The above email was sent over 50 times to the following recipients without response or acknowledgement:

      ********************************** (***********************), ********************************* (***********************),
      *************************************, and ************************************

      I really am not trying to cause anyone trouble, just wanting my redemption fulfilled as I was guarunteed.

      After further investigation, all of these tickets have been closed for Panini Points and have been added to the account since early 2023. These points have also been transferred to another account and have those points have been used already.

You can also replace the factory damage card with Panini Points or other alternatives available. To find out what other alternatives we have available please call the factory damage toll-free phone number to hear more. Please keep in mind that we have professional appraisers that value your card(s) and base the value on the current market to find what equal value replacement is needed. We do not value based on when the card(s) are put into the queue. Because we are aware of the collector's market, we try our best to honor what we deem to be the current values, with respect to what we have available. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused by this delay.

      I have reviewed the business response and accept this resolution. I have 7 open claims dating back almost two years. As long as your company follows through and I revive my product, then I can consider this matter settled.

      although when I follow your steps to settle this claim, and call the number provided, I never talk to anyone. The call is either forwarded to a voicemail or I get hung up on.

      A near 2 year to wait for a replacement is inexcusable. I intend to wait for my replacement but have very little faith that your company will follow through.

      I have a redemption card, which I submitted on 4/26/2021, per the website request. I have had no communication from the company, despite numerous calls, voicemails to customer service and through the ticket status app. I have sent more than 7 requests for updates with no response. They are false advertising, saying that the redemption card is able to be submitted for an actual card to be sent to the customer. My ticket status thread is available upon request. Thanks!

      A sports card purchased within a Panini package was found to be damaged upon opening the package. Card was returned to Panini in early ************************************************************************* April 2021 I received an email from Panini acknowledging that they had received the factory damaged card request and assigned it a number of ******. The message stated that I would receive further update on replacement shortly. No further update was communicated. I sent emails asking for updates on the following dates and never received any sort of response or update. Emails sent: May 2021, July 2021, October 2021, December 2021, April 2022, June 2022, July 2022, September 2022.In January 2023, I finally received an email stating that they have received my damaged card and my claim is being reviewed. This is the same information I was told in April 2021. I was asked in this January 2023 email to allow their team up to a year to process my request. To go 20 months between updates, and then to provide an update asking for up to another year in processing is some of the worst customer service I have ever received.Desired Resolution: Replace damaged card. Provide similarly valued card(s)/product if the damaged card cannot be replaced. ALSO provide new product and/or store credit to make up for the extreme delay in communication and follow up.

      Dear Valued Panini Customer, 

      We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused by poor communication in the past. We appreciate your patience and would love to help you with your concerns. For redemptions, after the original 120 waiting period for your redemption, if we have not received the signature from the athlete you are prompted with different options. You can either replace the redemption with a replacement card (another card of equal or greater value), Panini Points, or other alternatives that we have available. Due to the number of athletes returning cards after release date, we are experiencing a backlog in fulfilling replacement card requests. Rest assured, we will fulfill requests as the players return their cards. However, if you choose to wait for the original redemption, we will notify you via email once a shipment is being created. To find out what other alternatives we have available please call the redemption toll-free phone number to hear more.

      Hours: 8:00am 5:00pm (CDT) Monday - Friday

      Toll-Free Redemption Line: ************** 

      Thank you for being a valued collector and we hope to hear from you soon.

      On 4-13-22 I requested Panini America to look into an issue I had concerning a box of 2021 Panini Origins basketball cards that cost me about $700 dollars. Upon opening the box of cards I noticed the same corner of all the cards were bent. For a collector this is a big issue being that, to get full cost of a card upon selling they need to be in mint condition. Panini has a service that they replace damaged cards, so I shipped the cards back to them with a receipt of purchase and even certified mail to ensure it was received. I created a ticket on the panini direct app and kept asking for updates after seeing my package was received but never updated on app. Since then, it has been about 9 months with no answers and I still have not received cards back nor a reply from the company. Their customer service sucks because they actually have none. You get an answering machine and although you leave your info you never get any call backs. So basically I have been waiting 9 months for a box of cards that I already paid for but have no cards to show for the amount paid. This company seems to take people's hard earned money and never provide the service they claim that they do.

      Dear Valued Panini Customer,  

      We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused by poor communication in the past. We appreciate your patience and would love to help you with your concerns. Due to the unprecedented volumes of damage card replacement requests in past months, factory damage replacements are experiencing a backlog in fulfillment. If its in the queue, it will be replaced. You can also replace the factory damage card with Panini Points or other alternatives available. To find out what other alternatives we have available please call the factory damage toll-free phone number to hear more. Please keep in mind that we have professional appraisers that value your card(s) and base the value on the current market to find what equal value replacement is needed. We do not value based on when the card(s) are put into the queue. Because we are aware of the collector's market, we try our best to honor what we deem to be the current values, with respect to what we have available. We apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused by this delay. However, if you choose to wait for the original replacement, we will notify you via email once a shipment is being created.

      I am rejecting this response because:   In all reality, customers spend their hard earned money to purchase items from this business and basically have to wait while your business already benefitted.

      Have a question, if I am not satisfied with their response but can not keep going back and forth with this company then what are my next steps? I feel that they are just passing the buck for their lousy service that,because they are trying to fix after so long, now I have to settle and take my complaint away. If I settle and say I am satisfied and am not really, how does this go?
