On the last exchange, the 3-pack was not requested in the initial email, only the four pairs of 110878. Due to a clerical error we cashed the check that was sent to us. We have refunded the customer for the check to their [redacted] card we had on file. If the customer is still interested in the...

3-pack, they can place a new order for the item as there is no store credit remaining from this exchange. We sincerely apologize for the error.

On Fri, Jul 14, 2017 at 3:46 PM we contacted customer via email to inform them there was a price error therefore amount would be $137.60 not $118.67 and allowed customer to either cancel or to be charged the difference. Customer declined and we have issued a refund for the amount that was charged of...

$118.67 Transaction ID: [redacted].

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution will be satisfactory if full refund received. I have sent pictures as requested. Will close complaint when refund received.

We have contacted the manufacture in regards to this order, who has infomred us the white color is on a back order, they are having production issues. We currently have the black small that we can send out to this customer.

We have fulfilled the customer's request for a replacement.  The manufacturer does not ship replacements internationally so that is a charge our company has to incur.  We do not manufacture any of the items we sell as we are simply a retailer.  The reduced rate that we offered is our standard rate international replacement orders.

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/08/10) */
The items that were discontinued have been replaced with the so soft line which is stated on the product detail page before a purchase is made. Also customer was notified about this change via email , and phone, and we given options for an...

exchange as well.
Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2015/08/11) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
The original items didn't fit. When my mom processed an exchange, the newly requested items were NOT marked as discontinued on the website. We ordered them and my mom mailed back the original items on July 2. We received nothing after that although we emailed them. In an online chat yesterday, they said they mailed back to my mom the original items that she returned. They said there mailed to my billing address (nothing has been received)! As dumb as that may sound, neither my mom nor I have ever received an exchange of the original order. While I was chatting online with [redacted] at compression.com yesterday, he put through a charge of $7.85 for restocking, I suppose. NEITHER MY MOTHER NOR I HAVE RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM COMPRESSION.COM SINCE BEFORE SHE RETURNED THE ORIGINAL ITEMS ON JULY 2.
I state once again: there was no phone conversation with compression.com except for one made by my mom early on in late June about the original items because they mailed the original order incorrectly to the billing address rather than the shipping address.
We have received nothing from compression.com since late June and yet they have our money and are lying about phonecalls and transactions and have fradulently charged my credit card for a $7.95 fee made during our online chat yesterday.
Sincerely,
[redacted]

In the 13 emails that were sent between the customer and [redacted], the customer did not ever mention once that she no longer has the origianl packaging. Had she disclosed this information, she would have been informed at that time, we would not be able to accept the package without the box, thus...

therefore she would not have to have sent it back and pay for shipping. The neglect of the customer not informing us she does not have the original packaging is soley her own mistake. At this time since we can not accept the item without the box, the customer will simply need to purchase new items. All this information has been available to the customer under the return policy.

This customer had made an exchange for a made to order item which is not returnable. This disclaimer is clearly stated in the product description tab on the item's page. I have provided the link below. This customer was not given incorrect information. It is true that we had initially sent the...

incorrect item to the customer, but had a replacement sent free of charge. The replacement is the one that the customer is trying to return. Unfortunately, we cannot accept this item back. [redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: Compression Sales company is not truthful.I called BSN medical Inc., Charlotte, NC  this morning and walked their spokesperson through the same steps described in my Revdex.com complaint. They agreed with my assessment.However, if Compression Sales is still in denial after this last communication, I invite them to visit the Missouri statute 407.020 "Merchandising Practices Act" that reads in part:"The scope of the act is set forth in statute 407.020.1, which provides that it is unlawful to act, use or employ . . . deception, fraud, false pretense, false promise, misrepresentation, unfair practice or the concealment, suppression, or omission of any material fact in connection with the sale or advertisement of any merchandise in trade or commerce . . . in or from the state of Missouri." Said statute applies to acts committed "before, during or after the sale."With this in mind, please do as BSN did and follow my Revdex.com complaint step by step instructions while you have Compression Sales' web page open in front of you and you will readily see for yourself CS response is pure b[redacted]! Thank you for your involvement.

Anytime they return a product they must request an RMA from our company via email. Also when a customer call 1 min when closed we are legally not obligated to assist them because we do close 5 min before time which means 5pm is when all of our rep shuts down phones and leave for the day. We stay...

till 5pm but anyone call between 1 - 5 min before closing depending on situation we will let them know to email or call back during business hours. We are just a call center so our hours means we have open LIVE CHAT and phones from 9am - 5pm CST means 1 min before 5pm our phones goes down and we have no control when the phone shuts off. Also per company policy it clearly states that all returns will have a fee deduction and they see that policy before clicking submit also that policy is stated in the terms and condition when customer place the order. In this case they placed the order after business hours. Customer also contacted us after 15 business days of having the product which can only be return for store credit or exchange only. Customer always is told they can go to LIVE CHAT or go to email and email us what they want using store credit and we can always place the order for them. With our call center being a small call center we do have high call volumes especially during morning time of business and also after lunch hours and 1 hour before closing. As of this moment customer still have their store credit of $111.95 to use at anytime. Below is terms and condition customer agreed upon before submitting the order and also submitting the return request.

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/06/12) */
Per policy as we cannot resell medical grade stockings we offer the option for an exchange or store credit with no expiration date

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the...

response from the business.)
In the policy, no where does it state the restrictions or stipulation that supports this response. I would NOT have ordered in the first place had it been said. Also, as I explained to them via emails, the package had NEVER BEEN opened. I asked for a postage paid label, and that questioned was ignored twice.There us verbage saying something about a REFUND. NOT in store credit or exchange ONLY.I am sorry but this only tells me to tell others of this misleading policy.

This customer has returned items to us for which we have authorized a store credit. We urge all customers to read the return policy thoroughly before placing an order on our website as we have an store credit/exchange only return policy for all of the brands we carry. These were sent back without an RMA, however, our company waived the 15% processing fee. Store credit is the only option for the items returned and may be used toward any product on our website.

If an order is placed with us after 5:30PM central time, no customer, and I mean NO CUSTOMER can reach us, as we are out of the office at 5:30PM. In our return policy it is stated that once an order has been placed it cannot be cancelled, this information is in the return policy.

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:Why haven't I received the merchandise back then??  It is not legally theirs to possess being they REFUSED the return.I have contacted the Attorney General of Illinois to investigate this company further.  They have NOT heard the last from this consumer and the scams they are pulling on innocent consumers.I demand my merchandise returned then!!  Sure works in their favor to keep the merchandise AND my $70!!

I am rejecting this response because: this was not a back order and I would not have used this company if they stated up front they could not guarantee the 3 day postage which I paid extra money for instead of going with free shipping which would have allowed them to not take responsibility for how long it took.
Sincerely,
