Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because it is not factual.  Nobody every responded to my text messages. Is it their customer service policy to not reply to a customer's request.  This caused me to have to keep contacting them.  It's ridiculous that they never admitted to refusing to cancel this for me and for requiring me to  cancel it at a number that wasn't working.  No mention was made also of the emails I sent and again, received no reply. This company has not apologized and did a horrible customer service job!  Horrible.  I'll pay this card off and never use this company again!
Sincerely,
[redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: Of course, I understand that Overstock did not consider the item as a "gift". In reality, however the item was significantly different than the photo the description in the advertisement. Therefore, the item I thought I was purchasing was not the item I received, both in condition and in appearance. Therefore, what I received is technically NOT the item I ordered and legally such circumstances render the item technically a gift. I would return the item now, just to settle the matter, but I have disposed of it as it reasonably made no sense to return this unresalable item, especially at my expense! it. Overstock never sent me a "free" return label to return this damaged merchandise. In fact both Overstock's policy on returns and Paypal's response to my dispute indicates clearly I would be responsible for all return shipping charges. Overstock's claim that they provided me with a free return was not communicated to me, and all indications by them and by Paypal were that I would be responsible for return shipping charges. It is unfair that I should pay return shipping for an item that was damaged and was misrepresented in there ad, and finally it was simply NOT what I thought I was ordering based on my viewing of their misleading ad and photos. Overstock's insistence that I return a damaged and item THEY misrepresented as well as demand return shipping payable by me is in my view a very unfair and unjust business practice. If I had been provided with a free return shipping label, I would have returned it, but I was not, and I should not be required to pay for return shipping, much less for a damaged and misrepresented item in their ad.   
Sincerely,

To whom it may concern,   The customer placed an order on 06/04/2016, for the School House White Full-size Sleigh Bed. The bed was delivered on 06/07/2016.   On 06/11/2016, the customer contacted us because they needed all parts and pieces that made up the drawers. The customer also...

noticed that additional parts were damaged. A request was sent to our warehouse to ship out the parts that the customer was missing and to replace the damaged parts.   Consequently, because the customer was asking for so many parts to be replaced, we advised that we could request a full replacement to be shipped out to her. Therefore, we canceled the request for replacement parts to be shipped out, and a replacement order was shipped out on 06/15/2016 and delivered on 06/17/2016.   The customer contacted us and advised that they did receive a replacement bed but that there weren't any drawers included with the replacement bed.   On 06/18/2016, the matter was forwarded to a specialized representative for review, as the customer had received a bed twice without any drawers.   After some back an forth with the warehouse on the parts that were needed, we contacted the customer on 06/27/2016, and explained that the bed they ordered doesn't include the drawers, due to the model purchased. We advised that we were looking into the available options to ship the drawers separately at no cost to the customer.   On 06/28/2016, the customer replied that before addressing the issue with the drawers, they wanted to make sure that we were replacing the damaged parts (headboard and full size slats) only.   On 06/29/2016, we notified the customer via email that the warehouse had located the drawers and slats and that we should have tracking by Friday, 07/01/2016. However, because there wasn't any mention of the headboard in the email sent, the customer did contact us to confirm that the headboard would also be replaced.  On 06/30/2016, we did confirm with the customer that we would be sending the following: Headboard, Full Size Slats, Storage Drawers.  We are currently waiting for the warehouse to provide us with tracking for the replacement parts. Tracking will be provided to the customer once available.  Sincerely,  Overstock

I am rejecting this response because: The issue will be resolved when I get a table that I paid for that is not broken. It takes days at a time to get a response from someone which overall as I stated before is not good customer service. I do appreciate the discount I was given and I do appreciate the effort to get this resolved, but as of now it's not.

09/20/2017 To Whom It May Concern: On 04/25/2017 the customer purchased the Hometown 5-Piece Seating Set and the Safavieh Adirondack Vintage Distressed Ivory / Silver Rug (10' Round). 08/24/2017 customer contacted Overstock for assistance to return the set because it was showing rust in several places. 08/25/2017 the customer was sent an email that contained the manufacturer warranty information. The email contained information regarding working with the manufacturer: some of the email: We purchase our items in bulk from many different vendors across the country, as soon as we receive it on our end; we offer it to our customers. We have a 30 day guarantee on all items and for when we are past this time; we do refer you to the manufacture to honor the warranties. I do see this is currently covered by a 1 year manufacturer warranty.  To use this warranty, you will need to call Oakland Living at 248-652-1404. They will be able to assist you with repairing/replacing the set. 08/27/2017 notes on the account state the agent is waiting till Monday and if the customer does not reply they will close the incident as the warranty is being utilized. 09/06/2017 the customer has contacted us by email and advised that she has no intention of repair or replacement that she would like a refund only 09/11/2017 the customer has voiced her opinion regarding the Solution Specialists email advising that since this would be a late return the customer would take the chance of receiving a partial refund and the rug had been ruined (because of the rusting out door set sitting upon it)  so the customer had thrown it away. The Solution Specialist said no refund for the rug because no pictures and it had been thrown away. 09/13/-09/16 emails continued between the specialist and the customer without the issue being resolved. 09/16/2017 the customer begins asking for the address for our CEO and or a Supervisor. The request by the customer is not met. The customer has advised that she will accept the 50% refund but is requesting that she does not have to pay the return shipping of $171.58. 09/18/2017 the customer request for CEO information to contact our CEO is once again not met. 09/19/2017 email sent to the customer advising the return shipping fee cannot be waived. 09/19/2017 Customer replies to email and asks that the refund of 50% be given without her returning the set. 09/19/2017 Overstock Specialist called the customer and left a voice mail noted as: Left Message for [redacted] that we need an answer by 5 EST we cannot refund her without returning the set. 09/20/2017 customer is called and voice mail left and email was sent and the incident was closed. 09/26/2017 an agent has contacted this customer and left a voice mail and sent an email advising that they want to help her get this resolved. We will work toward a happy medium between both the customer and Overstock. (PS.  another reply was sent and rejected by the customer. Please note and disregard as this issue is being worked differently then described in the first reply that was sent to you.) Sincerely,   Overstock

To Whom it may concern,We have one chat recorded on 9/12 at 1:15 pm with one phone call 9/12 at 1:28 PM. The phone call at 1:26 PM, was when the agent created the cancelation request.  The agent sent an email stating a free label would be sent to her to send back the product should it not get canceled. On 9/13 5:58 AM, an agent sent an email saying the order had been shipped and we could offer our label at a discounted price. Agent advised the return can be set up when the product arrives and to contact us when ready to send back the item. The customer was upset at this explanation and advised she’s ready to go to the Revdex.com with the emails and screen prints regarding the case at 7:02 AM.   The agent replied at 7:11 AM stating she had only been notified the order was shipped, not canceled. The customer wrote back at 7:47 AM stating she spoke with four cs reps the previous day, and asked for the label.At 4:57 PM, the agent set up the return and emailed the return label. We had previously advised the label would be sent upon delivery and requested to hear back from our customer when it arrived.  Although tracking shows the item shipped on 9/9 and delivered on 9/12, we didn’t have the shipping info until 9/12.  We set up the cancel request thinking the order had not yet been shipped.   When we look back at the contacts the customer had with us, we show the one chat, one call and emails documented in this response. No info has been omitted purposely. We made an exception to the customer to pay for the returning orders shipping.  Sincerely, Overstock

To whom this may concern, After receiving the Monte Carlo Monte Carlo Piper 54-inch Ceiling Fan ( item number [redacted] ), we do also show that there is a sub sku for the Light Kits ( ONLY ) that did price at $178.00. This wouldn’t be the same product. The customer states in their complaint...

that they needed the entire fan. Overstock wasn’t selling the Monte Carlo Monte Carlo Piper 54-inch Ceiling Fan for $178.49. Below is a link to Overstock’s Terms and Conditions. Under the Prices, Availability, and Errors there is a clause that advises that prices are subject to change without notice. According to the customer’s complaint, this sounds like the customer was referring the light kit. Without an account to brief any notes as to what customer service noted on Overstock’s end, it is hard to explain why customer service chose to go in the direction that they did. Overstock is standing behind the policy we have in place.   https://help.overstock.com/#!/answer/63   Sincerely, Overstock.com Tell us why here...

To whom it may concern, The customer was contacted by our Customer Service Department on 02/03/2016 and explained that the Club O Membership renewal attempt failed.

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:1) If your policy indicates that the customer is supposed to return on their own for jewelry items, your system should not be prompting confusing messages to the consumer.  The burden should not be on the consumer.  2) There was some problem with the sizing.  The size 4 as specified did not account for the combined  effect when wearing as a pair.  The ring fits me when worn separately but not as a set.  I paid $15.50 for shipping and insurance (not$86), please refund this amount to my original form of payment (see attached receipt).  I don't want store credit.3)  I have already returned the package as instructed by overstock.com but there was no one to sign for it when the post office attempted delivery on 9/15/16.  It's being held at the salt lake city 84122  post office for pick up.  It'll be returned to me after 5 days. What a mess.  Is the ring coming back to me or what?  4) I am not happy about the entire process, I don't want to be a club O member anymore.  Please cancel my membership and issue refund as well.  I'll refrain from doing business with overstock in the future.
Sincerely,
[redacted]
