On March 28, 2022 I purchased two clothing items (Exhibit-A) worth $207.33 from a ****** store in ******* ** using a Citi Credit Card. I returned both items on April 03, 2022 as they were not the correct size. I returned the items in a self-service kiosk and received the receipt in email (Exhibit-B). The receipt said that the refund will be issued in 24 hours. ****** received the refund despite the passage of 9 whole months. I contacted ****** several times but to no avail. I contacted Citi Cards several and even went to a ********* here in ******************, but again to no avail. My concern is that the ****** decision not to issue a refund is RACIALLY motivated. The store Manager saw me returning the items as I asked for his assistance. He had a smirk on his face and he was very condescending. I am a ** citizen and I live in MD. I made the purchase while I was working on a government assignment in **. I am of *********** (*********) origin and the Manager was visibly unhappy to see me returning the items. I am asking for the FULL refund of $207.33.Business Response

As stated previously, the orders demand exceeded the available quantity. We are unable to honor a price adjustment as Kalorik 2-in-1 Digital Air & Deep Fryer (SKU ********) as this item is sold out. If this SKU does come back in stock this year, we can certainly honor the previous pricing.Initial Complaint

I ordered some items for Christmas in November. Order status stated the items had been delivered, however, it never had been delivered. On November 23, 2022 I contacted Kohls and they were going to issue my refund. I then contacted them back again in December and now they said they would issue the refund. (Do not have screenshots of the 2nd conversation) Now for the third time, Kohls is saying that they will issue my refund in **** days. I cannot speak with a supervisor because apparently none are available and no one can expedite this refund that supposed to take 7 days, yet has now been 3 months. I would like my refund processed ASAPBusiness Response

I placed an order on 1/30/2023, the gentleman messed up my order. I asked for shipping to be waived he said he would and didnt, he also did an item as pick up in store which was wrong. So he did a new order for just that item, issued me kohls cash for it, asked for me to read off certificate number and pin so he could place, also was waiving shipping as a courtesy. I find out today 2/1/2023 that my card was charged $9.81 for first order that was mainly all shipping and the second $9.55. I did not authorize that $9.55 charge, he was using the Kohls cash he sent to me and stated the shipping would be waived. I called Kohls today and spoke with a supervisor ****, who was extremely rude and unhelpful. Im trying to figure out if this is how Kohls operates. Allowing customer service reps to commit unauthorized use of cards, fraud and so forth. I have a lot of hesitation now using Kohls for that reason. Never once did the gentleman ask to use my card for the transaction of $9.55, I thought it was all on kohls cash and the shipping was waived as he stated! I have been going back and forth whether report here or with my attorney general. Because this does warrant that type of assistance now. But I would also like to see what someone at corporate can do first.Business Response

I did not authorize the representative to charge my card for the second transaction. As he stated several times the shipping would be waived out of courtesy. So what reason would there be to charge my card? There was none. This is clearly an unauthorized charge/use of my card by a Kohls customer service representative.

This is the order that was unauthorized 6326526164. The order previously on the same day was suppose to have shipping waived. Im waiting for that to be reversed. As the order number provided I was issued $20 Kohls cash by representative and he asked to have certificate number and pin read off to him once I received the email. He stated several times while placing that order that shipping would be waived also. Therefore why would I authorize anything to be charged for that order, as that order should have been FREE.Business Response

I returned items I ordered from Amazon to my local ****** store. In a conversation with one of the store's associates, they mentioned the possibility of Amazon waiving shipping costs by sending my orders to ******. So, I placed orders using my local ******. These orders had student textbooks I needed for my studies. To my horror, I discovered after I placed my orders and after the orders shipped from Amazon (Amazon does not allow customers to change the shipping address once orders are shipped) that ****** does not receive customer packages at their **********************. One manager, as I dealt with 3 or 4 different managers, stated that the store would send any package back. Concerned about the textbooks I needed, I asked to speak to a higher-ranking manager who said they would make an expectation considering the circumstances. I thanked her. The following week, I received three orders at the store on three different days (January 23rd, 24th, and 25th, 2023). There was one more order. It was the last one of all the orders sent to the store by accident.Today, Monday, January 30th, 2023, I received a notification from Amazon. They delivered my order and the order was received. I went to the store to pick up. One of the first managers who initially gave me grief about the package coming to the store said that they had not received the package. However, the notification told me otherwise.Business Response
