Response:

We appreciate the time in sending us the complaint.

The reason why the option to reship the order was denied is because of the issue of missing packages to the address as stated by the customer. The reshipment may end up missing again and that would cause another inconvenience on his part which is our main concern.

Also, 2 out of the 4 items on his order is no longer available.

With this, we proceed with the full refund back on the original form of payment. The refund may take 3-5 business days to reflect on his statement.

Our advise to the customer is to make an investigation as to why packages delivered are missing as this is a cause of alarm with regards to their security and to prevent the same issue happening again.

If there are further questions or clarifications, please feel free to contact us back.

Thanks,

Review: I returned 2 items that I had ordered from this company with brand new condition, with tags attached, and placed inside any plastic bags that the products may have originally arrived in. The company is claiming that the items did not arrive back to them in the original packaging and are charging me a 25% restocking fee as a result. The returned items were 2 pieces of clothing (a pair of Spanx workout capris and a Shock Absorber sports bra). First, the only reasonable "original packing" is that the tags are attached, which they definitely were. Second, even if the company wants to argue that whatever plastic storage bags the items of clothing arrived in are also part of the "original packaging", I also definitely returned the items in these plastic bags. These 2 items of clothing were literally taken out of the shipping bag they arrived in, tried on, and immediately returned back into their packaging and shipped back to the company. This "restocking fee" they're trying to charge feels incredibly unethical given their stated "simple returns" policy.Desired Settlement: I'd like the full purchase price of the items I returned credit back to the card that I made the original purchase with.

Please see the attached document for [redacted].

You will see that I have refunded [redacted] back to her card with a remaining balance of 7.30 for item she kept. I will also be sending her correspondence letting her know this was taken care of.

Please let me know if there is any further information explanation needed. All in all the customer has been refunded in full for the item in questions.

Review: On ** April 2014 I ordered * bras from Freshpair.com. Together with shipping and handling I paid US$ 127.34 through PayPal. All * items were in stock and ready to be shipped within 24 hours, according to the Freshpair website.

On * May I received an email stating that one of my items was on backorder, scheduled for delivery on * June. The email included the following text: "Although these items are currently on back order, we may have color and/or size substitutions available! Please reach out to us so that we can assist you with any changes. Otherwise, hold tight! We often receive inventory in a swift fashion. Should an exceptional circumstance arise and we find it is taking an abnormal time to receive your items your back ordered items will be canceled automatically at 60 days so that you can find something else. Please reach out to us if you have any questions We are here to help."

On * May I received another email stating that a different item was discontinued. This email included the following text: "We know that you have been waiting for your item and are sorry to inform you that the item has since been discontinued and we will no longer be receiving inventory. We know this is a bummer and apologize or any disappointment this has caused. We would like to offer a 10% discount code which is valid for 14 days and hope that you can find something new that is just as great! Just enter ####### in the promo box at check out. Reach out to us should you need assistance. We are here to help! Thank you for shopping at Freshpair!"

On * May I wrote an email to [redacted] AND to [redacted] with the following text: "Complaint about Freshpair Order #[redacted]?: Dear Sir/Madam, I ordered * bras from Freshpair 8 days ago. All three of them were "in stock to ship" (see below). Then how come I was notified of one being on back order until June yesterday and another to be completely sold out only today? They should have shipped a week ago!! And now you offer me a measly 10% discount on a new bra??? It looks like I'd have to pay for international shipping again, which is ridiculous. And why can't I get 25% off with the FF2014 code? It says that this discount is not available to international customers. Why on earth not? Please put my order on hold until you can come up with a decent solution, because this is unacceptable. If you fail to provide said solution I'd rather get a FULL refund. Regards, I. [redacted]"

I then immediately received an automated message saying: "Your request (#[redacted]) has been received and is being reviewed by our support staff. To add additional comments, reply to this email or click the link below: [redacted]"

Less than 4 hours later (still Sunday (!!) * May) I receive an email saying that item #* has been shipped. In this same email there is mention of the item that had been on backorder until * June will now be shipped on 10 May and the item that was supposedly discontinued will now be shipped on * June.

I replied to this message 20 minutes later, addressing both [redacted] and [redacted] by saying: "I HAD ASKED TO PUT MY ORDER ON HOLD!!!! I cannot believe how you can mess up my order like this. Shame on you Freshpair!!"

After a few seconds I again received an auto-reply: "Your request (#[redacted]) has been received and is being reviewed by our support staff. To add additional comments, reply to this email or click the link below: [redacted]"

On 7 May I wrote to [redacted] and [redacted]: "Dear Sir/Madam, Since my complaint I have received conflicting emails from you, so I no longer know what's going on with my order. I have also received several SPAM messages. What I haven't received is a reply to my complaint (below). Please look into this and come back to me or I will have to cancel my order. I. [redacted]"

Nearly an hour ago (today 8 May) I wrote to [redacted] and [redacted]: "Last chance for resolution Freshpair Order #[redacted]: Dear Sir/Madam, Since you fail to reply to any of my emails I'm hereby letting you know that this is your last chance to resolve this situation concerning my order, before I register my complaint with the Council of Revdex.coms. I now want a full refund as I'm no longer interested in your products or doing business with you. If I don't hear from you in the next 12 hours (which will be 5:20 pm New York time) I will contact the CRevdex.com. I. [redacted]"

The thing is I just realised I can't wait any longer as the second bra may be shipped in two days and I just don't want their products anymore. I'm running outof time. That's why I'm letting you know now.

I noticed I'm not alone in running into trouble with Freshpair Customer Service. This is a story exactly like my own: [redacted] Can you please help me? Thanking you in advance, [redacted]Desired Settlement: I would like a full refund, including shipping costs. I will return the bra they already sent me, regardless of them ignoring my request to put my order on hold. Note: Said bra is still in transit.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID[redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved.

Sincerely,

Review: I purchased a 2x paris of underwear from Freshpair order number: [redacted] Total was $22.50. Order tracking:[redacted] I found the colour grey was too light and followed the process as outlined in their refund policy - I posted the item back - they had not said in their returns policy to get tracking for it - so I just went to the USPS and had it posted back. I am now waiting weeks and no refund is apparent. I contacted their customer service and was spoken to by: [redacted] Who had asked me for tracking. As I don't have this and no where was it stated on the policy on the site to get this, I have no way of proving delivery. I'm really upset and purchased this in good confidence. I am shocked by their actions and all I want is a full refund.Desired Settlement: A full refund of the $22.50 and apology and correction for the returns policy which is highly misleading.

[redacted] was refunded on 7/**.

Please let me know if there is any further information explanation needed. All in all the customer has been refunded in full for the item in question.

Cheers,

Review: My original order with FRESHPAIR was an e-conmerce purchase from their website. I ordered 12 pair of underwear for $117.XX on 04-**-2014 @ 22:40:47 PM EST with my VISA card; Order number [redacted] with a status of Shipped.

Several days later I had not received a tracking number for the order I had placed; which I thought was unusual, so I called their customer service representative on 5-*-2014 and she stated that it should ship in the next couple of days. I waited until 5-*-2014 and called because I had not received any update via email for tracking the shipment and she stated they had lost the order per this second converstation on 5-*-2014. On 5-*-2014 the customer rep. was nice and tried to resolve the problem by replacing the order with a free replacement and free expedited shipping of 2-4 days; Unfortunately they did not have stock for all of the 12 items ordered, only 6 items were available. So she stated they would credit my account with $47.XX and to wait several days to see the credit. I received a pre-shipment notification from USPS on 5-*-2014 where only electronic shipping information was received by the parcel service, not the actual parcel package. I waited another day (5-*-2014) and looked up my order online at FRESHPAIR.com to have it also show shipped on 5-*2014. I called the customer rep. today (5-*-2014) to follow up with FRESHPAIR to find out what was going on with this replacement shipment. The customer rep. suggested I wait until Monday (5-**-2014) and I should see the tracking information and a date that I should see the delivery.Desired Settlement: Delivery in a timely manner, a refund of the balance as promised and a change to their website or policy to warn purchasers of the possibility of not receiving their shipments due to ........ .

Hi Revdex.com,

This is [redacted] from Freshpair Customer Service.

We are reaching out to you regarding a complain you received from our customer.

Just want to confirm that the customer is [redacted] who made a purchase from us last May 2014.

Initially, his order was lost in transit when he contacted us which was resolved by reshipping the available items and refunding those that are out of stock.

Unfortunately, looking at the tracking information of the reshipment, it also got lost.

Since we are unable to track individual packages unless the customers contacted us to follow up or inquire, the reshipment was thought to be delivered successfully since the customer did not reach out to us again.

With this, we have successfully refunded the full amount back on the original form of payment. It may reflect within 3-5 business days on the customers statement.

If there is anything we can be of much help and assistance, please do not hesitate to inform us.

Best,

Review: I paid for a pair of AnatoMAX cycle shorts. I did not receive what I ordered. I returned the wrong item I received. I was told by the company that the AnatoMAX cycle shorts were on backorder and I would receive the cycle shorts when they were available. I never received them, but the gave me a credit. This is unacceptable because I got a 20% discount on the AnatoMAX cycle shorts.Desired Settlement: I would like the AnatoMAX cycle shorts that I ordered with the 20% discount.

Response:

Regarding the issue of [redacted], we opted to have him refunded for the incorrect item he returned because we don't have the stocks up to date. The date we have for the replenishment is by January **, 2016. In order for him not to wait too long, the warehouse decided to refund him. On the other hand, I understand that he is also concerned with the discount he got from his order. There is actually no problem with us extending the discount for him and he can use this code instead - [redacted] (valid until January **). He can place a new order for a different item at his most convenient time. Best, James Freshpair Customer Support

Review: I ordered a pair of underwear advertised as microfiber. In the description microfiber was mentioned three times with no other material listed. The pair I received in the mail was cotton, which is a lower quality, and most importantly not what I ordered. [redacted] This is the website's information, which doesn't say stretch cotton anywhere. I would not have ordered this pair based on this information, which was misleading on all accounts. This item was final sale, so they do not allow me to return it, even though the product was not what was listed. I asked for a refund, an exchange, or store credit. I was offered a 10% coupon code, which is the equivalent of $2 for such purchases.Desired Settlement: I want my money back. Had I known the product was cotton, I would not have bought it in the first place.

Response:

Please see the two attached documents for [redacted] and [redacted].

You will see that I have refunded [redacted] back to her card with a remaining balance of 7.30 for item she kept. I will also be sending her correspondence letting her know this was taken care of.

[redacted] was also refund on 7/**.

Please let me know if there is any further information explanation needed. All in all both customers have been refunded in full for the items in questions.

Cheers,

Response:

I apologize for the delay. This is a mistake on our part and the exception should have been made for the customer. I have refunded the full amount to his card. Please see the screen shot. I will also be writing the customer to apologize and notify him of the refund.

Review: I ordered one item on October **. The order number is [redacted]. On October **, I was informed by email that the item was backordered but would ship on October **. Needless to say, nothing arrived. On November *, I was informed by email that the item was backordered but would ship on December *. The very next day, November **, I got another email saying it would be December **. On November **, I received an email stating that the item would be shipped on November **. Once again, nothing arrived. Finally, on December *, I received yet another email stating that the item was backordered and would be shipped on January *.

Obviously, these emails are beyond useless (January *ship date? Really? You are open on New Year's Day?). After the first two, I should have considered myself warned that I am dealing with, at best, incompetence, and at worst, dishonesty. Neither is acceptable.Desired Settlement: Either send me the item or cancel the order. At least you have had the decency not to charge my credit card yet. But your repeated and consistently broken promises of imminent shipment are outrageous. The public should be warned that you are a company that repeatedly misrepresents the status of orders to its customers.

Response:

We completely understand the customer's grievances. Due to high demand, we are waiting for inventory from the vendor. Unfortunately we have had to push back the arrival times much further than initially anticipated, which is why there have been several emails with updated dates. Since we cannot guarantee an exact date this item will arrive, we have cancelled the order as requested.
