My subscription to Cricut renewed automatically for $100.00. It's a service that I haven't used and I wanted to cancel the subscription. I did not get a renewal notice....when I called to cancel, they told me they can't refund me my $100. When I stated that I didn't receive a renewal notice, they told me that they didn't have to do that and that it was non-refundable. In 1 conversation, they said that I missed the cancellation notice, yet I was told they could never cancel it. I have called them 4 times (11/20, 11/23, 12/3, and 12/4). When I called on 11/20, they said that a supervisor would call me back within 24 hours. That never happened. They did call me back on 11/23. I asked to speak to a supervisor and they said 1 wasn't available again and I would get a call back. I never heard back from them, so I called on 12/3. I was told a supervisor would call me back. On 12/4, I received a call back, spoke to a supervisor and was transferred to another supervisor and was given the same information. I could never talk to a supervisor.They never offered me any solution and it took them forever to call back (if they did) and this whole process took way too long to solve. I'm still out $100 and don't use the service. If they would have refunded it when I first called, it would have been in the refund window.Business Response

I am requesting that Cricut replace my Cricut Maker (Champagne) with a replacement device with a functional blade sensor.I have invested approximately $600 into this machine, only to find out that my machine is faulty.I have been struggling for a long time to get it to work properly and invested additional money into supplemental blades and accessories because I thought I was doing something wrong. Unfortunately, I have discovered that a tiny part of the device (the sensor) does not work and all of my additional time and expense was in vain.I have spoken with customer service many times and finally learned that the device will never be able to use the many blades I have invested in.Apparently, in its current state, this machine only reads devices without the crown housing, so I can only use the fine point blade, which is not helpful to **** use this machine very seldom; it is in pristine condition other than the fact that it is faulty.I wish for everyone's sake that I discovered this sooner, but because I do not use it often it is out of warranty.Nevertheless, I was not advised when I purchased this device that the company does not support any type of repairs. I have never heard of an appliance that was unable to be fixed.The Original Maker isn't even made anymore so it will not cost Cricut much to replace mine with one of the refurbished or open-box models that they offer.Business Response

We apologize for the experience with your Cricut Maker. The manufacturer's warranty covers the machine for a year from the date of purchase. Our team has exhausted the troubleshooting available. Repairing the machine is not an option we have available, we are sorry for the inconvenience. As the Cricut Maker is outside the warranty period, the courtesy compensation provided is intended to assist with the cost of a new machine.

Hello, I filed a complaint on 12/17/2024 against Cricut. The complaint was assigned ID ******** and was subsequently closed before a resolution was reached. During this time I learned that products sold in ********** are subject to Right to Repair laws. Cricut is breaking the law by not replacing faulty machines sold here, or offering a repair option. I would like to offer Cricut another opportunity to follow the law and send me a replacement machine or offer the parts and instructions necessary to keep this machine working for seven years, as required by law. I am very pleased to discover that my state has such a valuable and important law to protect consumers, and I appreciate the help of the BBB to ensure that Cricut follows the law in my state. I would be very happy to repair this machine if Cricut would provide the necessary parts and instructions, but a replacement machine would be welcome too. With gratitude, *** ***** *********, **Initial Complaint

I ordered the circut maker 3 as a gift for my daughter for Christmas. This was part of a Black Friday sale bundle. I received an email stating the order was to be delivered in 2 shipments via *****. The labels were created as per *****, but nothing was shipped. I called the company and the customer service agent was unable to help stating he would submit a ticket. I then received an email stating. the company shipped me the wrong device, the circut explorer and that I could either request a return shipping label or keep the device with a $50 credit. I contacted the company and stated that I did not want the explorer device and given that it wasn't shipped, that I wanted the order canceled and my money returned. The customer service agent was unable to help. I asked for a supervisor and was told there was no one I could be transferred to and that someone would call back in 24 hours. I disputed the charge with **** and tried to contact circut business through Instagram. A supervisor then called and stated that in order for a refund to be processed I had to rescind my dispute through ****. The wrong cricut was received at my home. I again requested a return label and a refund and have not received either. The. company has $487 of my money which I want immediately refunded as I have not received the equipment that I ordered. I do not want the incorrect device or the $50 credit. I need my money refunded to me immediately so I can purchase. the correct circut maker 3 for my daughter in time for Christmas. Thank you.Business Response

I have a Cricut Machine and a Cricut online account. Machine Purchased May 2024. Suddenly even with brand new blades my machine isnt cutting through on print to cut. I get a Java error also. I have manually adjusted the pressure to the max and the machine doesnt cut through and it did thousands of times. I sent an inquiry, was told to call someone else. NO. I pay for your service and have your machine and its not working. Im not chasing which department handles what. My machine also cant seem to cut on the lines anymore except in calibration. It calibrates perfectly. Buty cant cut the proper ticker line. I responded that the Java script its the machine. I got ignored. They can send me a new machine if they cant fix the errors they programmed to this one. This isnt a machine issue, it's their updates.Business Response

I purchased a refurbished Cricut Maker in August of 2024, It supposedly came with a 1 year warranty. It stopped working 3 months later, the rollers stopped rolling. I did all of the suggested things to remedy, no luck. I called and was told to send a video of the hand written case number, the serial number and the error message. I sent two separate videos showing that information. They keep emailing me to tell me to include more things, every time they email me, they add on more things to include! This is ridiculous! I feel they don't want to replace their faulty machine and make customers jump through too many hoops. I am a 64 year old crafter with a business and can't work without this machine. The machine is not hooked up. I feel I have given them the information they originally asked for.Business Response

I received a Cricut ********** 2 as a gift at the end of December 2023. My machine started malfunctioning on November 26th 2024. It would no longer heat up and itll provide an error code and itll shut off. I looked up the error code and its a temperature sensor issue internally in the machine. I contacted Cricut immediately and they refused to honor the warranty because the purchase of my Cricut easy press was November 21, 2023. I was just 5 days over the warranty and they refused to make an exception and honor it. They said theyll offer me a really good discount to buy a new one and it was only a 10% off promo code. I really expected more from this company and their customer service.Business Response

I cancelled my subscription with Cricut in August. On September 1st I was billed $10.61, I called the company and asked for it to be refunded. The company said they now had no record of me and therefore couldnt stop the payment nor refund me. I didnt know what to do. On October 1st I was charged again for $10.61. This time I called my bank and told them what was happening and got my September and October payments back. On November 1st, I once again was charged for $10.61. This is ridiculous and I would like it to stop and get refunded for November.Thank you. ******* ********Business Response
