Additional Notes

Complaint: The purchased item was a Christmas gift too small. I was unable to return the product within the 30 day return period becuase the give was purchased 11/26/2012 as a christmas gift for 12/25/2012.I purchased 3 items totaling almost $500 and am seeking a refund of only 1 item.I was not made aware that the gift was to small until some time later.I was called to see if an exchange was possible which it was not due to the product being "discontinued and out of stock". I was offered a gift certificate, but saw nothing else of interest. So a gift certificate would be of no use to me.The company refused to refund my money/credit my charge carde.

Desired Settlement: I would simply like a full refund if the company is unable to provide the purchased item in a larger size.

Consumer Response: The item was ordered online from a catalog that I received at my home.  The address on the packing slip is:


Fabulous Furs
25 West Robbins Street
Covington, KY 41011

I have just called and left a message on Ms. ****** voice mail to let her know that we will accept the coat back for a refund. While I was typing
this e-mail, Ms. ****** gave me a call back and I let her know directly that we would take the coat back for a refund.
She stated that she will be putting the coat in the mail back to us this week.
I have also e-mailed our returns manager to let her know that this coat has been approved for a refund.

Additional Notes

Complaint: This company participates in the slaughter, murder of defenseless animals to steal their fur and sell it. I have asked them in writing to not send me their disgusting propaganda. I explained I did not give them any information to forward me such autrocious material yet they continue to forward such material. This material is harmful to the health of those sentient beings the murder and it is emotionally disturbing for me to have to see such dispicable documentation. Murder is against the morals and ethics I live by and the majority of those I am around. I don't participate in slaughtering any animals. Therefore, those who do and then attempt to flaunt their acts on me is harrassment!

Desired Settlement: I will again ask them to stop murdering defenseless beings, it is not appropriate behavior. Just like Humans need coats to live so do animals. If they continue to harrass me with their disgusting material I will like to press criminal harrassment charges against them.

Consumer Response:

I find it interesting that they are claiming to produce ONLY Faux fur, yet after I reviewed it, there are only a few items within the catalog that note being faux fur! Thanks for letting me know their response and I will add **** to this correspondence as well so they can view the catalog their self before promoting a company on the premise all of their items are faux fur.  And I expect to NO LONGER receive any catalogs from them!


Better Business Bureau:I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID *******, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, we would like to know your view on the matter.]

Regards,

***** ********

 

 

BBB's Final Determination: After reviewing the position of all parties, BBB determined that the business made a reasonable effort to address the complaint. However the consumer remains dissatisfied.
