The customer utilized our online ordering system on 3/2/2016 at 6:40 AM agreeing to our terms of sale at the time of purchase including that Comedy Barn and Dollywood are non-cancellable, non-changeable, non-refundable.
On 3/4/2016 the...

customer called in requesting to cancel. The customer service representative quoted policy and let the customer know that we would only be able to issue a 75% for the hotel as all other items are non-cancellable. The customer agreed and the hotel was cancelled and a refund was issued in the amount of $191.85.
On 3/7/2016 the customer called back in requesting to change the dates for Comedy Barn and to re-book the hotel reservation with different dates. The customer service representative created a new order (Order Number XXXXXXX) for the hotel and went above the non-cancellable policy to get the dates changed for Comedy Barn.
On 5/16/2016 the customer called in again requesting to change the date for Comedy Barn, this time to June 2017. The customer service representative let the customer know that we would not be able to do that. The customer requested to speak with a supervisor. Upon being transferred to a supervisor the customer requested to cancel the order, he claimed that terms of sale were never explained to him, which is false. They were provided to him via email and told to him when he called in on 3/4/2016. The customer service supervisor explained to the customer that terms of sale are listed on every page of our website and again at check out. The customer thanked the agent and ended the call.
On 5/18/2016 the customer called back in and spoke with a customer service supervisor. The order was forwarded to our reservations department to see if they would be able to once again go above policy for the customer. We were able to go above policy again for the customer and provide a gift certificate, which the customer accepted. The gift certificate was issued in the amount of $307.71.
On 5/31/2016 the customer called back in and immediately asked to speak with a supervisor. The customer was upset that the gift certificate starts to depreciate on May 20th, 2017. The customer service supervisor explained to the customer that he could extend the length of the gift certificate with out losing any funds, all he had to do was repurchase before May 20th, 2017 and it would be good for a another full year. He did not like that and said that he would just like to receive the 75% refund. The customer service supervisor explained that the gift certificate cannot be redeemed for cash and that it states that right there on the gift certificate.
In regards to the customer stating that he received an email stating he could cancel up to a year, that is simply not true. Its reads as follows " Did something come up? No worries! Let us know any changes you'd like to make to your order and we can accommodate you until midnight May 31, 2016, for a $20 change fee. If you need to cancel your order, 100% of your vacation's value can be applied to a future vacation for up to 12 months or 75% can be refunded. The final date to cancel your order is May 31, 2016." The final cancellation date is listed twice and the 12 months refers to the gift certificate. The terms for the gift certificate are listed directly on the gift certificate that is sent to the customer. We have went above and beyond our policy in order to make this customer happy multiple times and have made a good faith effort to accommodate the changes that he needed. We cannot provide any further credit or refund on this order. What else can we do to resolve the situation for the customer?

It took me two months to get them to accept their own policy. When I talked to a supervisor that we still wanted to go but the date was June 2, 2017, Based on my experience with this company I don't trust them. not charging additional fees that is stated on the last email sent.
If I knew I would have to go through this I would have cancelled on May 31, but before I rescheduled I was told their is no refund.
So what is the story> I would love to attach all my paperwork.
I have also told Dollywood that they have people representing them and their park.

If the customer would like send in the paper work he has mentioned we would be more than happy to review it. However, at this point we are unable to offer a full refund as requested.

The customer utilized our online ordering system on 5/21/2017 at 4:33 AM agreeing to our Terms of Sale at the time of purchase, including that all seat assignments are "best available general admission seats at time reservation is made". We will...

forward any special request to the reservation department but absolutely no guarantees are made regarding actual seat assignments. It is impossible for us or any other vendor to guarantee specific seats. The reservation was placed and the seat was held. The ticket was sent to the email address provided by the customer. Our records indicate that the customer printed their ticket on 5/22/2017 at 6:31 AM.
On 5/27/2017 the customer called in and spoke with a Customer Service Representative in regards to their seat. The customer was unhappy with their seat and was requesting a partial refund. The Customer Service Representative quoted policy and let the customer that we would not be able to do that due to the reservation now being past date.
We provided the customer with the best seats available at the time the reservation was made. This order was placed just days before the show. Grand Ole Opry is known to sell out weeks and sometimes even months in advance. Per our Terms of Sale we do guarantee the best available general admission seats and that is what was provided to the customer. The customer did request floor seats. However, it was a request and the customer was not guaranteed, nor did they purchase floor seats.
We are a service company and per our Terms of Sale, we do have service fees. Those fees were included in the final price of the ticket which the customer did agree to. We are sorry that the customer was not happy with their seats. Upon acceptance, we would be willing to meet the customer in the middle and offer the customer a refund of $15.00.
Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 8, 2017/06/05) */
I filed a dispute on the charge with [redacted] on 5/28/2017. At this point in time there has been no response to [redacted] by Vacations Made Easy. There has been no credit to my credit card for $15 or anything else.
The response by the company to the Revdex.com seems like nothing but a stall tactic. I have never seen a company that when it cannot provide the service or product requested to substitute a lesser product and charge full price. The proper thing to do is to notify the customer and tell them the product is not available and offer them an alternative choice.
Until I see the credit on my credit card account I will not be satisfied with this issue. But I won't hold my breath.

Final Business Response /* (4000, 10, 2017/06/08) */
The ticket sold to the customer was not a floor seat. We do not guarantee any specific seats, but we do take requests. We do guarantee best available general admission seats, which is what the customer was provided.
We did offer a refund of $15 upon acceptance of our response. However, the response was never accepted so the refund was not issued. We just recently received the credit card dispute and have sent our reply to [redacted]. We have also issued a refund of $30 back to the original method of payment. The customer should receive an email within the next 24 hours confirming the refund. We were not stalling and do not practice stalling techniques in our business dealings. We now consider this issue to be resolved.

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/09/08) */
Tickets purchased within the 48 hour cancellation requirement are non-cancelable as stated in our terms of sale.
Our website states that we are Vacations Made Easy on every page of our site and does not state that we are [redacted]...

directly. We are a reseller and our prices include a service charge as stated in our terms of sale.
Because seats were held for this customer based upon the order they placed and we require 48 hours notice of cancellation full refund cannot be give for this order as we are being billed in full by the venue for seats held on behalf of this customer.
The Buysafe guarantee is a lowest price guarantee for pricing on our website. it is not a price match guarantee with other sites that sell these tickets. The terms of the Buysafe Guarantee are provded to the customer. If the customer feels they have a lowest price guarantee claim then they need to file that claim with Buysafe the company that offers that guarantee at Buysafe.com as per the instructions that came with their guarantee. However, we did not violate the terms of our guarantee and the customer was provided the lowest price we offer for these tickets on our site.
We value this customer as we do all of our customers and for this reason we are willing to go above and beyond policy and offer this customer a gift certificate of $25 toward future purchases with Vacations Made Easy as a resolution to this issue.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I do not accept the response of Vacations Made Easy. I want a full refund because I cancelled before the show and never used the tickets. They should, at least, offer to refund the difference of $90 between their price and the $35 for each ticket at the [redacted] site.
I was lured to their website, which did not (and still has not) disclaim(ed) that they are a reseller. In their so-called terms of sales or anywhere on their website, they did not mention tickets bought within 48 hours of the show, nor did they discuss the refundability of such tickets. So, their assertion that this was in the terms of sales is false.
Their comment on BuySafe, above, is ridiculous and decepetive: Do they really mean that a lowest price guarantee is only applicable to the prices on the Vacations Made Easy website? They should honor the lowest price available at all sellers, including the $35 apiece of the [redacted] website.

The customer placed their order on 9/18/2017 at 4:51 PM and the card auto charged by our system at 5:01 PM.  The customer did not speak with the first agent until 5:53 PM.  We did not, nor do we ever, intentionally delay responding to a customer so that their card will charge first. The customer placed this order online themselves and agreed to our Terms of Sale at the time of purchase, including our cancellation policy. We have made a good faith effort to resolve this issue by going above our policy and issuing the customer a 90% refund.  In an effort to resolve this issue, we would be willing to issue an additional $50 refund upon acceptance of this offer.

We apologize that the customer was hospitalized due to circumstances out of her control. However, the tickets she purchased are non-cancelable and non-refundable. Her funds were used to secure these seats with the vendor directly and the seats...

were paid for on her behalf. The agent went above and beyond policy because we value our customers and at our own cost gave the customer a partial refund in the amount of $66.16. This was credited back to the customer's method of payment on 9/16/15.

Agent first stated she could not refund anything. When I was not happy with that response she then made the offer to refund the cost of 1 ticket minus 10%. Agent should have been honest and up front to begin with about the refund offer.
Final Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2015/09/23) */
The agent was following policy so she was not being dishonest but because the customer was unhappy with the policies she agreed to the agent went above policy on an attempt to make the customer happy.

The customer did request aisle seats in the center section.

On 7/27/2016 the customer wrote in stating that they were unhappy with the seats. A Customer Service Supervisor contacted the customer and explained our policy to them. The Customer Service Supervisor was able to go above our policy and offered to switch the customer to the 9:30 PM show which had better seats available.

We do not offer the email option for our Branson packages nor do we offer smart phone confirmations. As most of the locations in Branson will not accept smart phone confirmations and require the customer to present actual tickets upon arrival...

therefore we must provide the customer with physical tickets. The actual tickets/vouchers must be picked up at our Branson Office and the customer is provided this information with their order confirmation.
However, this customer purchased tickets to [redacted] which has shut down and is currently no longer performing and we have refunded this customer in full for their tickets.

I have no desire to fight this further but I think this is a terrible way for anyone to do business.

about 12-30-2014 Mrs. called and said the appliances were damaged from the move (8 days after the move) I ([redacted]) went out to look at and we sent a claim form. When I got there all appliances were in the kitchen still no counter tops and I seen the damage. I asked who moved these to there. She said the construction guy. I told her these marks would have been seen when we took the pads off in the dinning room. We did not do this damage. I think it happened from the construction belts. If my men did it I would pay.
Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2015/06/18) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I do not accept this response because, as I explained before, the movers placed my appliances in front of each other, so it was impossible for me to see the damage until they were moved into the kitchen, or away from each other.
Furthermore, I was watching my contractor move my appliances (no construction belts were used). Not only did I witness the smooth transition (it was only a few feet from where the movers placed the appliances), I also know that the contractor did not remove the handles from my appliances. The only people who have ever removed the handles from the refrigerator and freezer were the the men from Copher movers. The scratches go on below the handles. It is not possible the scratches to have gotten under the handles unless they were removed. Also, there was no damage/scratches on the appliance handles. If there were, that would indicate that the contractor (who did not remove the handles) surely caused the damage; however that is not the case.

I have heard nothing on this. Can I get an update! Did the company ever respond? We decided to cancel our order within the time frame allowed to get a refund of 75%  of our purchase price. We cancelled the order on 9/6. So far the charge was not reversed on my Mom’s credit card, but the statement date is 9/7 so it may be a timing issue. I look forward to hearing from you.

We apologize for the negative experience with the hotel. The original hotel the customer requested in their package was sold out. We contacted the customer as soon as the hotel informed us of this, to notify them and offer them additional options. The customer then chose the [redacted] which was in the same area of town as their original hotel, was the same price range as their original hotel, and the same star rating.
It was definitely our goal to provide the relaxing birthday weekend you hoped for, to celebrate your wife's birthday. We are sorry you were unhappy with the hotel. But as it was a non-cancelable hotel we were unable to cancel those reservations for you. We do appreciate your business and would like to offer a $100 gift certificate toward a future vacation with us as a resolution to this complaint.

The information VME about the hotel that were stated in the above reponse is incorrect. Yes, they did call us when they realized [redacted] ( which was the original hotel we were supposed to stay at) was overbooked. However, we were NOT givsn options as to another place to stay. The VME rep said we were to stay at the [redacted]. No other hotel option was given. They told us the [redacted] was more money, but we would only pay the original amount. Also, they stated that the ** was in the same area as the previously chosen hotel. That is not true. The Guesthouse was located directly across the street from the [redacted] resort. A nice, high end area with lots to do and see. The ** was not. It was in a low budget area off the highway. Nothing around at all. They also stated the ratings were the same for both hotels. That once again isnt true. [redacted] is rated a 3.7. And the ** is rated a 2. Obviously there is a big gap. The offer for a 100 gift cert for our next trip with them is not acceptable. We will NOT be using them again. Not even with that discount. We still want our refund.

I am rejecting this response because:The time it took the movers to start moving things out of my apartment in Alsip Il. must of been 20 minutes they were talking things over on the clock.Plus when they both stopped about 30 minutes from finishing.The mover John had to fill out the receipt with me while the other guy stood in the back of truck doing nothing.That took around 15 minutes or so.I would meet the owner Ed halfway and call it satisfied if he sent me another check for 24.50 for 15 minutes of time wasted by movers I had to pay for.And since he did pay 24.50 which covered materials needed for repair to damages.
Sincerely,

that is the main reason they were going to Lancaster I think their request for a full refund is perfectly reasonable and I am more than happy to go above policy and accommodate that request. We apologize their trip didn't work out as planned and that the balloon was overbooked for that date and we were not able to accommodate them.
