I am very sorry but we have only received email from this customer that was sent on December 17th, that simply stated the customer was unhappy with the product and that she would like to return itWe have received no further communication in our email box regarding the order being returned, and the tracking number for the returnWe are very sorry for any inconvenience.Our returns department is currently working through our returns, and this has not yet been processed yetUnfortunately because of the difference in weight when the order was shipped to the customer, versus the return shipment from the customer, we need to be able to receive in the product and determine how many of the sets were sent backThe original order was shipped via UPS tracking number [redacted] and weighed lbsThe return shipment from the customer, UPS tracking number [redacted] weighs lbsSo we simply need to be able to account for however many sets were returned to us, and can get the refund issued as soon as that return is processedI have advised my returns department to push the refund forward once the return is checked inThank you

We are very sorry that the manufacturer was unable to help the customer with the tree issueSince the tree was purchased more than years ago, unfortunately this is not a warranty that we honorWe can only honor any issues within days of receipt, as our company policy statesIt is a
manufacturers warranty, which means that they are the ones who will replace or repair the tree, as they see fitThat being said, sometimes they do require us as the retailer to contact them on behalf of the customer, which we are happy to doThe customer has already gone through some troubleshooting with the manufacturer and it hasn't corrected the issueSo it is now up to *** *** *** to decide what the next step should beThey may simply repair the tree, or they may ship a brand new treeWe will reach out to them today to get this issue resolved for the customer

We can provide a label for the customer however, the cost of the return label would be deducted from the refund amountSince we work with UPS, we would be able to provide a label at our discounted rate, which would cost less than if the customer were to return these herselfIt is however entirely up to the customer if she would like us to create the label for her or notAs stated, we would be happy toWe would email the label to the customer, she would print it out, attach it to the shipping box, and then simply drop it at her nearest UPS location, or give it a driver in her area

We have issued a full refund back to the customers account and will not be needing the damaged items returned to us. The customer may dispose of those at her convenience. Thank you

This customer actually hasn't placed any orders with usNone of the orders that she attempted to place went throughThere are (6) separate charges on her card, for the (6) separate declined transactions that she tried to placeEach transaction was for $USD None of these
transactions can, or will be accepted by usWhen a transaction declines, for whatever the reason may be, the bank puts a hold on the card for the amountTypically this takes several business days to clear outIt is dependent upon the sellers bank and the buyers bank corresponding and basically clearing out the transactions once they have established that the funds are not being accepted by the seller. So for the customer to file a Revdex.com complaint and basically make out that we are stealing her money is absurd and unfair. When it comes to international orders, our system can be extremely sensitive for security purposes, and with the volume of international fraud that there isThe billing information has to match EXACTLY to the billing information associated with the credit card, otherwise the payment will decline. It is very unfortunate that the customer was unable to get her order to go through and has felt the need to file a Revdex.com complaint over thisHad we received the order, and payment had cleared, the order would have been processed and shipped by now. As stated above, the transactions will be cleared out by her bank/credit card shortly. Thanks

Customer spoke to our Customer Service Agent on 12/wants order cancelled and refundedRefund is in process and while we apologize to the consumer for any inconvenience we read all comments submitted as well as phone communication

We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused with this orderThe customer did state that she placed and received her order in December of We have a very clear return policy posted on our website, Christmas Central.comThe policy states the following: What if there is a problem with my
order?Please promptly inspect items upon receipt, if there is a problem you must contact us within days of receiving your orderWe will gladly troubleshoot the problem for you and find the best solution for the issueDo not send damaged, defective or wrong merchandise back to us unless instructed to do so by a Christmas Central representative. We cannot take back defective items after the stated time frame, if your item(s) breaks after use check our warranty page - your item might still be under its manufacturer’s warrantyChristmas Central is not the manufacturer; any warranty will be honored by the manufacturer.This is now over year old and the customer has only just opened the item and inspected itUnfortunately our hands are tied at this pointI'm afraid that if this were any other company they would have the same responseYou are unable to return an item purchased over a year ago to any other online company or storeThis particular item does not have a warranty, otherwise we would have been happy to assist the customer, or direct them to the manufacturer for assistance. In addition, we do not know how the item has been stored for the last yearThis too can have an effect on the itemIf it was stored improperly and moisture seeped into the wiring, that could also cause the item to work improperly or not function at allAlso, not all items that are sold by companies come with instructionsWe do apologize about that, and for any inconvenience causedTypically when an item does not come with instructions, it means that the item is usually assembled quite easily. As stated our hands are tied with, and we are very sorry about that

We are very sorry to hear that the customer was unhappy with both of their orders from usof the orders was placed on *** and the other on the *** marketplaceFor the *** order the customer was unhappy with the item and accepted a replacementWe didn't ask for a photo or anything like
thatWe simply took the customer at their word and shipped a brand new replacement pieceThe customer was then unhappy with the replacement that was received and wanted a refundWhat the customer didn't say was that he went ahead and had returned the original (damaged) item back to usWe did not ask him to send the damaged item backWe simply advised we would ship a replacementWhen the customer contacted us after the replacement was received, and they didn't like it either, we advised we would issue a refund, again without question, and without needing the item backSo the customer still has a working Rudolph that was reshipped, and also refundedHe just wasn't happy with the quality of the item, however there wasn't actually an issue with it. Regarding the other order placed on ***, for Santa ClausThe customer contacted us and stated that this also arrived damagedAgain without question we advised we would ship a replacementWe didThere was nothing actually wrong with the replacement Santa that was shipped eitherThe fact of the matter is, the customer was simply unhappy with the itemsIt was a buyers remorse situationHowever, even though it was buyers remorse, in both situations, we let the customer keep the products, and also issued full refundsWe have not processed any returns for a Santa that the customer stated he returnedSo far we have only received damaged Rudolph back, keeping in mind that we ended up shipping items total to this customer, in addition to issuing full refunds for each orderWe do not expect the items back either. We cannot issue refunds for more than what a customer paidIt is physically impossible to doThe only options we are giving through the marketplaces are for what the customer paidIn addition since these are marketplace orders, we do not even have access to the customers billing informationWe simply send the payment to *** and *** and they then send it back to the payment method used on the orders

One of our e-commerce customer service reps will be contacting customer today to determine we can still meet their needs

The full refund has been issued back to the customerA manual refund was required due to the original card being expired. Unfortunately we do not store credit card information, for security purposes, so we no longer had access to the original card numberHuman error is possible, and we
apologize that the number was notated down incorrectly whilst over the phone with the customerWe were able to get the correct card information and get the refund processed. Thank you

We sincerely apologize our warehouse did not fulfill her order and will process her refund

These lights were delivered December 2nd, via UPS tracking number ***The very first contact that we had from the customer was via phone on March 3rdmonths after the order was receivedWe are very sorry but we have a clear return policy onlineOur policy states that if you
have an issue with your order you must contact us within days of receiptAs a courtesy to our customers we often will allow up to the days for any issues to be reported, and are still more than happy to help at that pointHowever, this is now months on from when the order was receivedUnfortunately if this were a retail store you would not be able to do this either. In addition, what the customer is explaining, we are having a hard time understandingThese are LED lights which do not get warm at allThey stay cool to the touch, so the fact that the customer is stating that the lights are melting is extremely baffling to usWe don't understand how something like that could have happened, especially with LED lightsShe also stated about green spheres? We are unsure what that isThese were just a regular string of blue wide angle LED lightsSo we are somewhat confused by this
