      I am rejecting this response because: This answer is BS. These are NOT issues based on my personal opinion or feelings on the subject nor any other reason except one FACT, the ** isn't doing their job as their website so proudly claims. Yall have THOUSANDS of $ worth of product already sitting there months and when I contacted after you denied my last return, you closed my ticket and pouted like kids who didn't get a Loli at the Doctors because i said I was going to ask LEGAL help what to do and NEVER used legal to threaten. Even if I had you still closed the entire case. This is a matter of theft at this point. And health? Then why are you making the product and overselling c*** that goes against your own guidelines and even reprinting items with a 2019 date that has 2021 released items????

Your ticket has not been lost or forgotten and as soon as we have any additional news or we are able to fully reopen and process your request, we will reach out and let you know. I do apologize that we do not have any additional news or information we are able to provide at this time but rest assured your issue will be handled as soon as possible.

      Where now they are just ignoring me. I'm beyond frustrated that a company this large can't seem to issue a simple refund, have decent customer service, or even just bother to respond. I haven't purchased anything from this company since this started going down hill. They've lost a loyal customer of over 20 years. I encourage others to do the same. The constant QC issues, missing product, and very poor customer service is sad for a ********************** of this statue. I want my promised refund so I can wipe my hands clean of this pathetic company that would be nothing without customers like myself.

      Complaint: 18185949

      I am rejecting this response because: It goes directly against an advertised policy of replacing factory damaged cards. This policy caused me to buy thousands in Pokmon product.

      The damaged item I sent for individual replacement burning shadows rainbow Charizard was successfully received November 12th 2021 by the Pokmon Company. The emails below with support starts July 27th 2021. Before I sent the card and during the processing I confirmed through email that the policy is that they replaced individual cards when damaged. There are also ******* videos showing the success of this process by *******rs that are sponsored by the company. I have emails such as the ones below from the Pokmon support team telling me to wait and I would be assured a new card.

      mention this case number (******) as well as your return shipping address and we will replace it and include something else for your time and shipping cost.

      It is on hold with specific tags to ensure that it is handled as soon as we do reopen.

      there is nothing to worry about as the item will be waiting at our desks once we do reopen. We have your ticket on hold with specific tags so it will not be lost or forgotten!

      I will reach out and let you know I have the items you have sent in to us and I am sending replacements

      I apologize for the lengthy delay and will let you know the moment we send your item out.

      Please let us know if you are going to send in the item. Please include the item and information regarding your shipping cost. We will review and replace the item deemed in need of exchange.

      Before sending I have an email that I state Am I able to send factory damaged charizard in a toploader in a letter for replacement, Im not concerned with timing, just wish to confirm before I mail out the card. If yes Ill be mailing it out tomorrow.
      Case number (******)
      Thank you! *********** then received the reply-

      -Yes that is fine. We just need the item, the ticket number and your return address with the package.


      September 8th 2022 the support teams format changes and I am hit with the response.

      "Hello *****,
       
      Thank you for your patience, we apologize for the delay!

      At this time, due to current stock limitations, we are unfortunately no longer able to offer a replacement. However, we would like to offer you a limited refund. Please let us know which option you prefer.

      Total amount to be refunded: $12.70"

      This response goes against a factory damage policy that has caused me to spend thousands searching for rare limited Pokmon cards under the assumption of product arrived damaged it would be replaced. I work in the casino industry and understand if a slot jams on a jackpot the player is entitled to the winnings not a refund of the spin, any other option would be openly deceiving the customer. I can understand if the Pokmon ********************** does not have the ability to print the card themselves, I would be happy with a card of equal rarity and compensation of my time. Thank you so much for helping me with this case!

      Sincerely,

      *******************************


      maged will be replaced and not replacing the cards has cost me thousands of dollars in buying products under a false impression. I have made it abundantly clear to the Pokmon company I would settle for a replacement or similar card as is their policy. Any information on if I have any legal ground to stand on would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for helping, *******************************

      Hello *****,


      Thank you for reaching out to us. Please note that the information the agent has provided is correct and the ************ we have available at this time due to the previous closure of the office due to the ongoing pandemic. I do see you have an open ticket with us still and the agent will reach out to continue assisting you. Please be aware that the offered refund or return of the items are the ************ we have available. As we do not value or evaluate individual cards for secondary market value, we are unable to offer any additional monetary compensation. From the information present in the ticket, the agent will be returning the item in question along with some additional products for the lengthy wait time.

      I am rejecting this response because:


      This has been going on for almost a week and a half now. Unacceptable. You have to understand that in certain instances this affects people financially by reducing their available balance whenever PayPal is leveraged. In the case where a card is directly entered, the site never authorizes against the card, so the available balance stays the same. I mention this because depending on how a consumer engages the checkout process, it could adversely affect them financially.  Additionally, the support structure is completely lacking. It's embarrassing honestly. Your customers do not deserved to be taken advantage of and then given the runaround with support.

       

      Sincerely,

      *****************

      er, troubleshoot why this happens, or even an apology for s******* over my available balance when PayPal was used. The level of support I get is canned responses from 1st level support and management instead of actually helping. I'm sick and dang tired of being stuck in a support loop, and pokemoncenter.com needs to reach out to its merchant services (payment processor) to figure out why this technical glitch is happening.

      I am rejecting this response because:

       

      I am 100% aware that technical issues occur and am not unreasonable enough to blame you for your sytem not working at the time the order. These things happen and as a reasonable customer I reached out to your support team to bring to light the issue that occured and ask for their assistance. At this point no assistance has been provided by your support staff. Furthermore, I have requested a supervisor or manager contact me two weeks ago, and have yet to receive a response.

       

      As mentioned previously, your website allowed my order to go through but removed the promotional item from my cart during the checkout process. The order was placed only for the purpose of redeeming the code for the special delivery charizard, which was removed from my cart by your system during the checkout process. I don't believe it is fair that as a consumer I should bear the cost of your system failure, and the sheer lack of care for your customers or willingness to correct issues that arise from your system glitching is abhorrent at best. Based on my current experience dealing with your customer support, I am anticipating waiting a couple more days for yet another generic response that doesn't address the issue at hand or address provide any sort of support. At this point my expectations for you take ownership and correct this are quite low. The only solace I have received from this process at this time is the hope that future consumers due their due diligence and look at the ridiculous track record your organization has built up over the years on the BBB website. If I can prevent another person from falling victim to your website I would consider that a success. My only regret is not reading your reviews here first, and making a promise to my little brother to obtain that card from him.

      Wishing I had never done business with you,

I am requesting a refund or replacement, as the fact of the matter is, the products are CLEARLY shown to have arrived damaged, and whether I threw them out or not, your company is responsible for guaranteeing that your products arrive to your customers in usable condition.

      I received a promo card that required a purchase to even obtain. It arrived bent well outside of being considered normal or acceptable. I tried to work with them on a replacement after sending them all the information they asked for. This is not simply a bent card, but is clearly damaged. Either the representative did not look at the images or does not know much about card and when they are considered damaged. I was lucky enough to get the code for this limited card, but was dissapointed when it came in damaged. For something that should have been a simply fix I floored by the sheer disrespect of them trying to just write it off as normal and would do nithing about it. There is a difference between card being slightly bent and damaged. Mine was clearly damaged. This entire ordeal has been greatly disappointing.

      There are websites that are botting out codes for the Special Delivery Charizard, and accounts on ******* (@@YourpokedexSTX) are sharing the link to this shoppee which has codes for sale https://as1000133.selly.store/product/e27cd0e4 This is infuriating for those waiting patiently for their code in their email, and surely must be cutting into the stock that is available. This particular shop has gone through hundreds of codes and has been restocked many times, usually starting around the 600 ***** They have been selling starting at 20 per code, and are currently going for 6 dollars. This operation has made thousands at this point. Please make more efforts into stopping people like this from operating. It is discouraging as a long time collector to see this going on. Many people who are patiently waiting for their code are worried they won't get any card due to fraudulent activities like this. Not taking action against bots like these are hurting your long time consumers.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

      Sincerely,

      *********************lve having to wait until all promo cards have been verified and they have no answer as to how long that will take. Since then, they have cut communication with me and will not answer my questions as to what needs to be investigated, why it needs to be investigated, and will not oblige to my request to speak with a person. They even had the nerve to send me a survey to ask about how I am enjoying the item that they never sent me and are now refusing to provide me with which, again, was the only reason I made the original purchase. I did reply to the survey provided, and they have refused to contact me in regards to my response or post my review. I am very frustrated that they will not release the item to me and will no longer answer any of messages. I have included some of the photos that they had requested, a picture of the receipt that shows the item that was not included, and even the survey that, I feel, they were using to taunt me with. I appreciate your time. Thank you.
