      Answered
      I purchased a Masterbuilt Grill and grill cover online for delivery for my husbands Birthday in April for **** I received confirmation and email to track my order with Estes stating I would receive a call to schedule delivery. I did not receive a call. My husbands birthday passed. I ultimately called Estes to see why I did not get the delivery and was told the number was bad. This is not true but I said okay but at this point the delivery was too late so I asked that the order be returned to the shipper. I was given the ********* location to schedule cancellation. I called the advised the werent sure where the package was but would make notes. I can go on for days with the number of calls I made but to summarize, the last person I spoke with I clearly advised that I was no longer interested in delivery and that they can return the order to the shipper so I can receive a refund. They advised that they would call to confirm when the order would be returned. That never happened and when I checked the status on their website they fabricated an attempted delivery on 6/9/23. I was home all day and I have a camera that says no such delivery attempt ever occurred. I emailed again and demanded for this order to be returned so I can get my money back. The website shows another update that delivery will again be attempted this week 6/12 to 6/18. I want to cancel this delivery and have them return the order asap so I can get my money back from Masterbuilt. I already purchased the item elsewhere and it delivered within days. **********

      We were told via phone call AND text that our delivery window was 12-4pm. At 4pm the delivery crew was no where to be found. We tried calling and there was no option to talk to anyone. We tried using the chat feature on your site and it was a bot that kept stating our window was 12-4pm. Finally just before 5pm the item was delivered. It was relayed to us the delivery window was until 5pm not 4pm. While the crew was very nice, the entire experience was a failure in our eyes and was very frustrating. I would be very hesitant to recommend Estes.
