Initial Business Response / [redacted] (1000, 5, 2015/06/26) */ Hello, We at Bookrenter apologize for any inconvenience this customer may have experienced using our book rental serviceWe have a large number of students whose time & resources are quite valuable We did check the status of the label that was printed out last June 9, to return the rental "Brooks/Cole Empowerment Series: Understanding Generalist Practice." http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?loc=en_US&Requester=UPSHo... According to the label, no scan was made and that there was no movement Our return policy can be found here: https://www.bookrenter.com/service_policy#returning_books Initial Consumer Rebuttal / [redacted] (3000, 7, 2015/06/29) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) I can't explain why a label wasn't scanned on May by UPSBut errors occur all the timeI contacted UPS and they said they can't explain it either but the bottom line is I have proof the book was delivered to your company with a UPS DELIVERY CONFIRMATION! It's dated and signed for at your dock? What more black and white proof do you want? Final Business Response / [redacted] (4000, 11, 2015/07/22) */ Hello, We have investigated the issue further and found that the tracking number provided in a previous email ticket (1ZY87RXXXXXXXXXXXX) is actually associated with another rental company, CheggBookRenter and Chegg share the same warehouse in Tennessee, but use different docksIn this case, Chegg will have to be contacted for further details as neither BookRenter nor our supplier is in possession of this book Regards, BookRenter Customer Success Team Final Consumer Response / [redacted] (3000, 18, 2015/08/07) */ 8-6- Sent via email: I still disagree with the findings but I don't have any options? I'm out the book and now the money tooVery disappointing for college students to have to pay for books that they returnedSince we completely followed the directions that were given and if you look at reviews online they do this to people all of the timeThank you for your help [redacted] Sent from my iPhone
