I am rejecting this response because: Interesting that a company who claims to have a Satisfaction Guarantee states that a customer, "will not be eligible for a credit to their account for satisfaction reasons." Hmmmm... I do not want replacements (nor the shipping fees associated) for your product as I do not TRUST your product based on the fact that of the three wine varietals sent, all three were unpalatable. As for the "shipment being perishable after opened", I can only assume that you mean that since we opened the case of 12 bottles, yet only uncorked 3 of the 12 bottles, the entire order is now perishable?? I question your logic on that one. I will go ahead and take a "discount" of the order minus the "restocking fee" and shipping charges - this should work out to be approximately $135 reimbursement and I'll accept nothing less. I think this is MORE than fair as Vinesse will be getting approximately $85 from me and I'll have nothing to show for it except 9 unopened bottles of awful wine and major frustration. I'll just plan to dump these remaining 9 bottles that you deem to be "perishable". Beyond disappointed with this supposed "Revdex.com Accredited Business" and I'll be sharing with all social media outlets as well as with all of my friends.

The customer states she joined through our website where there is a detailed explanation of our satisfaction guarantee. The details explain that you will not be eligible for a credit to your account for satisfaction reasons, but we will send you replacements in your next shipment. If product being received for satisfaction is not sent in the next shipment, we will charge a shipping fee. Shipping fees for a 12 bottle case is $34.00. Also, on the website the customer says she joined through, is the information that an email to our support center can take up to 3 business days to receive a response. The member was contacted the same day of the initial email sent to our company. Vinesse cannot authorize pick up for shipments that have been opened, as product is perishable and cannot be returned after opened. We can authorize a discount of 40% to be issued to the customer to keep the shipment, since the shipment has been opened. The total price customer will have paid after the discount, if it is accepted would be, $112.98. Thank you.

The customer, D[redacted], joined the American Cellars Wine Club through a Hawaiian Airlines promotion back on April 4, 2014. The customer then cancelled the account after receiving only one shipment on April 17, 2014. The customer rejoined the American Cellars Wine Club through a similar Hawaiian...

Airlines promotion on October 1, 2015, but was disqualified from receiving the promotion because she had already taken advantage of a promotion in the past with Vinesse. On the terms and conditions of both offers, it is explained that all offers are for new customers only and are one per household. Since the customer had already used an offer with us before, this made her ineligible to receive the promotional pricing. The customer did not contact the company until October  6, 2015 to cancel the shipment and the shipment was delivered to the customer on October 3rd. The customer was aware that if they want credit, they would need to return the shipment at their own expense. Please review the attached documents. Thank you.

I am rejecting this response because:
I am rejecting this response because:The business is referring to an order last year. I  am disputing the charge for the online purchase I placed in error on May 27th 2015. The business verbally stated I would receive a full refund for $195.95 and never mentioned any fees/shipping charges. As I mentioned I signed up online on 27 May 2015 for an offer for $79.95 not for $195.95. After signing up for the offer I did not receive an email confirmation. But within hours I saw my account had been charged for $195.95 and not for $79.95. I called the business immediately on the 27th May and was informed my order transaction would be immediately cancelled and a credit for $195.95 would be processed as I did not qualify for the $79. However, two days later I still saw the charge on my account. I contacted Vinesse and spoke to a supervisor named Nicole who reassured me again I would be credited for $195.95. The bottom line is Vinesse was aware immediately of my online error in signing up for the $79.99 offer, but then charging me $195.95. I contacted the company within hours and can provide phone records and calls made to the company regarding this matter. The website mislead me by not prompting me that I did not qualify for this offer and instead led me to complete the offer for $79.95, took my money and failed to send me an email and then charged $195.95 to my credit card! Vinesse continued to deceive me and mislead me by telling me they understand and want to help me and will issue a full refund...that the company will ultimately do the right thing, and that is to issue a full refund. The company failed to notify me online at the time I applied for the offer and failed to send an email confirming the transaction.  I was not aware I did not qualify for the $79.95 until I saw the charge for $195.95 pending on my credit card within hours of the mislead transaction.  I contacted Vinesse on the 27th May, immediately after I saw the charge for $195.95. I have recorded phone conversations from the supervisors as well as other representatives stating repeatedly I would receive a full refund and no mention of any fees/shipping charges. I also have email activity from the company, which are not timely nor accurate. The company repeatedly stated it has problems sending emails to gmail accounts when I repeatedly asked why I didn't receive an email confirmation. The company is extremely deceitful, greedy, insensitive, and misleading. I am asking Vinesse to issue a full refund in the amount of $195.95 to my American Express account immediately.

I am rejecting this response because:Vinesse 2nd response is nonresponsive to my answer to their 1st response including details of their false business practices.  Vinesse has, in NO way "honored a full credit..".If Vinesse would like to resolve this complain at this time Vinesse is welcome to mail a full apology acknowledging their false business practices - processing this order after receiving my cancellation; sending this order after receiving cancellation; making false claims that they began processing this order 4 days prior to the date of the order and the false claim that Vinesse has honored a full credit when Vinesse, in fact, forced me to dispute this charge directly through my credit card company due to Vinesse' refusal to issue a full refund even in the face of the above facts.As I already stated, if Vinesse is unwilling to take these steps to resolve this matter it will remain open with the Revdex.com until legal settlement through the FTC, the State AGs office and - if need be - my local courts should I need to take further action while awaiting resolution of the full refund.  In no case will I accept resolution prior to the 08/12/2016 date set for resolution of the chargeback Vinesse forced me to initiate in the face of their refusal to issue a full refund.
