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 Regards, [redacted] Spoke with Ashley of TV EarsI accepted her offer of a replacement for the damaged Head Set at the price she offered.However, as I stated in my complaint, this was not the first time a Head Set broke at the same placeI had no choice but to pay for a replacement, or I would not have any Head Set.I am not a happy camper, but I need to use this defective productTo state my case again;These Hearing Head Sets TV Ears sells are DEFECTIVE! Very truly, [redacted] ***
The only reason why TV Ears "offered" to refund my money (minus the shipping charge) was because I took the extra step of searching for their corporate office and filing a complaint thereOtherwise, I would be like every other person who has filed a complaint to the Revdex.comI would be curious to see what an audit would uncoverConsidering the amount of complaints on the Revdex.com's site alone all state that their customers received faulty merchandise and then were made (if they didn't want to wait weeks) to pay $for the "convenience" fee, I am sure it would raise eyebrowsSeems to me that they should not be having so many complaints of their product breaking after VERY short amounts of timeIn my case, only monthsThey send out faulty merchandise, tell the person they have to pay $to get a replacement, send out a replacement, and wait for the headset to break again, thus the cycle continuesThe ONLY reason I was even offered the second "option" of sending back the faulty headset and getting a new one sent out in a few weeks, was because I voiced my utter displeasure at the $"convenience" feeIt wasn't like the agent told me I had to two options and I could choose between the twoIt was pay $19.95, and then when I bhed about it, it was oh wait, here's your other option but you're going to be even more inconveniencedWhen I asked for a refund I was told that was NOT an optionI'm pretty sure that TV Ears purposefully sends out faulty merchandise to primarily elderly people, knowing that it will break within a month or two of being shipped, and then only gives other "options" of not paying $to those who complainHad I not complained, I would not have been given the second option of sending it back and having another one reshipped (oh, they only offered to reimburse the shipping BACK to me after I complained about that as well), and I sure as hell wouldn't have been offered a refund Whomever replied (there is no name) first spelled my last name wrong, but more concerning, is trying to hide behind their warranty and make it seem like they made all these exceptions because they're a good companyIn fact, it is in my strongest opinion, that they are targeting elderly people and causing ridiculous fees to cover faulty merchandiseThere are just too many complaints about this to ignoreI am contacting a lawyer and finding out how to proceed with a class-action lawsuitWhat they are doing to people is wrongAgain, I want my FULL refundI have already shipped their worthless product back Regards, [redacted] ***
