On February 18, my order was created and on February 23 the package was supposed to have been delivered but the tracking shows it was misdelivered to someone else's home. Contacting the shipping carrier ***** says that if its been misdelivered, the company that shipped it (******) is required to file a claim on this package. Despite this, I was given no assistance with this order by ****** as they INCORRECTLY told me I had to be the one to file a dispute with the shipping carrier (WHICH IS WRONG AS STATED PREVIOUSLY), or file a police report for a stolen package (WHICH THIS IS NOT STOLEN, IT'S BEEN MISDELIVERED, SO IT'S WRONG), or dispute the issue with my bank (WHICH I AM NOT INTERESTED IN DOING AND IS WRONG). These are not solutions, until I receive the package I have no responsibility for any of these issues as they are on ****** ****** a ****** customer, I just want to receive the product I paid for.Business Response

I ordered a ring. It did not arrive, so I called and was told it was delayed a couple of weeks. It didn't arrive. I called and was told it was on the way. I called again, when it didn't arrive, and they said they would replace it., and that it would arrive January 9-13. It didn't arrive. I called and they said it had been delivered on January 12, I think, to ********************************* by ****. This address doesn't exist. I live at ***********************, and our property runs from ********* to *********, with no streets in the middle. My street address is ********************************* They also told me that although I had given them my new apartment number when I was required to move downstairs, they would still deliver it to the old apartment number. We had checked both mailboxes several times, and nothing had arrived. I was then told they would refund my money. Since I had used an online **** card, I had no way of knowing if they had done so, so they said to call them in ten days and they would tell me if the money had arrived on the card. I called, and was told they had requested the refund, but had no way of knowing if it was made. As I don't drive, it's difficult to go to a store that is able to check the amount on the **** card; most stores can't. So I don't know if the refund was made. At the suggestion of our letter carrier, I got the tracking number and gave it to him, who gave it to his supervisor, who said it wasn't their tracking number. I then called ***, and they said it wasn't theirs either. The whole thing seemed peculiar from the start as I could not find the order online on their website, and I didn't receive any email notifications, even though they said they had my correct email. I'd just really like the ring, if anyone can find it.Business Response
Date: 02/25/2025
We apologize for our customer's disappointment. Our records indicate *********** was listed on the original order number **********. As a courtesy we have reshipped the ring at no additional charge to the correct address per customer of ******************************************************** under Order number **********. The estimated delivery is 2/28 through 3/05. We recommend that the customer update the shopping profile; the email is different from this Complaint as well.

Yesterday 2/19/25 I was trying to purchase new sheets and I saw that the **** **** sheets are on sale for $81.59 with the home15 coupon code. When I put them in my cart and try to check out they are $135. I thought it may be a system issue and waited until today 2/20/25 to purchase. The price is the same. So I reached out to customer service and they said the price of the sheets are $159 which I do not see on my screen. I offered to send screenshots to an email but they were not interested. I even copied and pasted the page info in the chat and they werent interested. They offered to send me to a supervisor and that didnt happen. So I decided Id upload my screenshots here because Im not trying to get over, I just want the product at the price it shows.Business Response

Your online chat service is outsourced and horrible. I was on the phone trying to get someone in the *** for an hour so I tried chat. You sent me one wrong fan color and the other fan is the wrong midel. The options the outsourced **** gave me where for me to pay to return them or go to a local store. I have a serious autoimmune condition. I cannot go out or in public due to a flare. I order online for or this reason. How dare you discriminate against the disabled. It is unlawful and my rights are protected under multiple disability statutes. The only option the chat *** offered was to dispute? How stupid is this. So kohls can deny my dispute? I will never shop here, again. I have my char which I will attach snd my next message will be to the *********************** where you are based, the police and look for discrimination suits with you company. Dont ever assume that someone who orders online can drive to a store. That is incredibly disappointing. I paid for two vornado fans and have them boxed up and ready to pick up. If you refuse to do this then just refund me in full and they will be thrown out. I cant believe how awfully I was treated just now.Business Response

I ordered a TV stand from **************************. Before I ordered, I called **************** and told them that if there is a problem, I would not be able to return my self, since it is heavy and we are seniors. The *** assured me that all problems will be taken care of and they will arrange for free pick up if the item has to be returned.

So I called Kohls customer support again and told her about this wrong information. The *** got some information from the internet and told me to call ************. When I called this number, they told me that they don't sell this item and they don't work with Kohls. I am appalled that Kohls has this item on their web site, sells it and has no contact information about this ********** I called ****** customer support again. The *** told me that they can do nothing and I will have to return the item to get a refund. I told her I cannot take the item to the store. She said she can send a *** return label, they will pick up the item, but I will have to pay for shipping and pick ****** I am stuck with this item that I cannot return unless I spend more money. All for no fault of mine. Kohls says they certify their third party suppliers and we can shop with confidence. But this incidence shows they don't even know who they are dealing with. I would like the item to be picked up from my home, with no cost to me, and be issued with what ever I paid in cash and ****** cash for the item. I have spent so much time and effort on this purchase and I will never buy anything from **************************, third party suppliers. I should be compensated for my efforts and time spent.Business Response
