Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below The business continues to essentially call me a liar that I spoke with someone at their company and specifically asked if this was the set of Peugeot mills that comes in the presentation boxI did! They said unless I can prove that I called them, they don't believe me (such customer service!) In fact, the business even acknowledged that they received an email from me with the question posed to the seller before I would place an order asking if these were 'the set in the nice Peugeot presentation box like I had purchased for my husband earlier in the year because I wanted to give them as a gift for Thanksgiving." They admit they saw my email and said I had already placed the order before they could respond to it I told them this should be proof that I called the company and asked the question because I did not receive an email reply, and in my email indicated I would not place the order until I had a full description.They told me this was the set in the presentation box--it wasn't What they sent was two individual grinders, packaged separately, one of which even had the seal broken and the mill turned around Someone had already opened it and it wasn't me! Company claims they haven't had any returns of these mills Like another customer's review on the Revdex.com site, I simply don't believe them I think they sent me a pepper grinder that had been returned to them.This company treats customers horribly and sends merchandise that is not as described Regards, [redacted] ***

Timeline: She emailed question about gift boxSaturday, November 14, 2015 3:31 PM"Does the black/white set come in that same gorgeous Peugot box that our Alaska white set came in? Looking at this for a gift and the presentation is lovely besides being a great product"She ordered about 5 hours later.Sat Nov 14 20:09:39 PST 2015We're not in on the weekend. She went ahead and ordered without knowing the answer to her question. Her choice and her mistake if she had very specific demands as to how the packaging should look for a gift.The item shipped Monday before we had a chance to answer her emailed question. Weekends are usually busier with questions so it takes 24-48 hours to answer emailed questions from the weekend. We noticed the order had already been placed and shipped, so didn't think a reply was necessary.She claims she spoke with us about the item before the purchase. This claim is false. Our phone systems logs and records all calls, no call came in regarding this item. No calls came in from her phone number or even area code either on the days she claims she called. Just to be sure, every inbound call from Thursday and Friday was checked. None were her.She also had mentioned perhaps speaking with a woman. No woman was on the phones.Also, If she had spoken with us Thursday or Friday by phone as she claimed, she wouldn't have emailed the question on Saturday.Her claims are demonstrably false regarding our "misrepresentation". We never claimed it came in a gift box online, by email or verbally. Had she spoken to us before ordering, this issue would have been avoided. We did nothing wrong here, the matter is closed. This is our last response to the matter. We'll credit her per our policies upon return receipt of the product, she is responsible for return shipping to us.

purchased the Chef's Choice Belgian Waffle Maker model 830, along with two other items.I saw signs of wear and use on the product. Scratches on the stainless steel, food residue on the waffle plates, peeling of the coating between the plates. All this was very slight hard to see with a glance. I contacted the company. The Customer service email is run by the owner. We had 19 email exchanges over the course of a week. With each the owner repeated that they haven't had a return on that particular product. I write a few exhanges in "Hello,You did not make this clear you simply kept stating that this product had not been returned before. I have given you pictures of the product where there is food residue and wear. This not what I asked for, I do not want your product. Where can I send the items back to recieve a refund? Thank you" He writes back simply "You can’t. " We emailed a few more time with him culminating in "I have made it abundantly clear, I don’t believe we sent you a used item. It’s that simple. Whether it’s a new item that you’re confusing as used, or have a used one you wish to return against this order, I don’t know. But it’s impossible that we sent a used item in this case.We will not take it back under any circumstances, nor will I respond further to emails. Stop asking." Dont be taken in with their low prices. I also got a colander and peeler both were phenomenal. I dont even want waffles anymore.

Dear Revdex.com,
It is obvious from ChefsResource’s responses that it is not willing to accept responsibility for the erroneous description of this product on its website All I’m asking is, in view of the erroneous website description of the product that prompted me to make the purchase, that ChefsResource send me a “prepaid postage label” to return the product for a full refundI am attaching above copies of my question to the manufacturer and the responses from of their Customer Relations Representatives to me that clearly shows that the All-Clad 13” Stainless Steel French Skillet CMMF *** “does not come with a dome lid.” Thank you kindly,*** * ***

The complaint is that the tea kettle handle gets hot when used Frankly, we don't know of ANY tea kettle that when used the handle doesn't get hot This is not unusual at all We recommend using an oven mitt if the handle gets too hot with use, just like we would for any cookware
as well.We're unable to take back this used item per our policies We don't take back used items and in no way is this a defective product *** ***Chef's Resource

This cookware set is in fact, out of stock This older set was discontinued by Calphalon in We don't have real-time links to inventory, just because you can add an item to the cart doesn't mean it's in stock He was telling the truth The website now shows it as out of
stock and it's unorderableWe can't price match what we don't have and our price match policy is entirely at our discretion, as mentioned on the sitehttp://www.chefsresource.com/lowprice.html
