I called them many times, I have left numerous messages in their phone number in The State of ******** asking them to send the coupons to replace the defective ones, they promised to send them but they are sending them to me. First,they told me that they were going to send them but I never got them. They sent me an email message telling me that they have the wrong address but I provided my address several times but they are not sending them to me. I can also accept a refund of $27 Dollars for the 6 juices.All done concerning this matter will be greatly appreciated.You can call me at ************.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved but I need to get a *** Tracking number for the package and to be sure that  they are sending the 6 replacement coupons. Please tell Tropicana& Pepsico to be sure that the coupons will cover the full value of each Tropicana Orange juice. I will close the case when I get  the package and I have reviewed the coupons value.

      Sincerely,

      For PepsiCo customer account number ******* ****** Coeli Parish - We have a credit owed to us from 2021 when we had our festival. Two invoices show this on our PepsiCo account invoice # ******* for ($41.17) and invoice #******* for ($92.14). These credits equal ($133.31) and I will submit the details from our PepsiCo page. For our festival in August of 2022, I deducted that credit from the amount due and included the invoice numbers with the check which was marked as Paid in Full. I received a notice that $133.31 remained due. I submitted a dispute online immediately after and it was closed. I emailed customer support and was told to resubmit the credit request which I did...I never heard back but received another request for payment. I called the customer service line and waited for about an hour on hold until someone answered on October 4, 2022 at 2:10 pm EST - that person told me we did have a credit that had "accidentally" been written off but that they would credit us after October 10th when system was done with "maintenance". She assured me that our account would have a zero balance. I then received another email with the $133.31 due on October 19, 2022. I called immediately and had to wait on hold for 2 hours and was hung up on after being put on hold, called back and got through to a representative named *******. I asked her not to put me on hold and explained the situation. She could see the credit from ***************************************************************** a case number ******** and that it should be fine within ***** hours. I have received 2 emails since and I have exhausted all remedies provided by the company. I want something from them in writing that says our account has a zero balance and that the amount owed to us from 2021 has been credited. I will attach relevant documentation and my numerous attempts to contact this company via email and my notes and dates from phone conversations.

      A representative from PepsiCo HQ reached out to the *********************** for more information. The *** confirmed that they have correctly adjusted off the $133.31 remaining balance so that the customers account is now clear effective Friday, November 4th. They also confirmed that they will have someone contact the customer to let them know their account is clear and apologize for this inconvenience.

      Purchased Muscle Milk protein powder in July 2022 on Gatorade website. I received a confirmation email and *** tracking number. Upon clicking on the tracking number *** site states order cannot be found. I reached out to Gatorade customer service online to inquire about my order in August 2022. I received an automated email acknowledging that they received my inquiry request. I hadn't heard anything yet so I submitted another order inquiry this month of October 2022. I didn't get any response back so I decided to call as well. Upon speaking with Gatorade customer service, a representative submitted my inquiry, the next day I got an email from a Pepsi Co rep stating I would have to get a refund from Amazon. I tried to reply back that I didn't purchase my order from Amazon but my email wouldn't send. I called again and was told that a case manager would call me back no later than two days. It has since been three days from that phone call and still no word from a case manager or anyone. I would desperately like a full refund. I purchased this protein powder for my husband who is currently deployed over seas. The customer service and lack there of has been a slap in the face of me as a consumer as well as my husband, a U.S. soldier serving his country. I made my purchase in July and it is now October with no word or product. Please help to make this right. Thank you.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved. However I will add that there was indeed a shipping address on the order as you can see in the attached file. So this is a poor excuse for not fulfilling my order. I will accept the full refund. I will reach out again if I do not get my full refund. 

      Sincerely,

      1. Delivery issue - We are scheduled for the deliveries on Wednesdays whenever sales person puts the order in on Mondays. Too often, driver never shows up, or shows up before our store hours and just leaves before we open. When we find out, they always end up re-scheduling to later days or following week.2. Communication issue - No one is available to resolve the issue that they created. You call the sales person who refers to delivery manager or regional manager who does not get back to you. We tried to call the warehouse or main office to find out the problem, but but the number provided as the local contact number does not work. I called ************* which is the main number in the listings and all their invoices as well as this BBB website, and the number does not work when you try to follow the directions to reach the customer service or operator, it tells you it is not recognized number, or gets disconnected after the ring. I tried all day, and even the manager I spoke to finally said the number doesn't work. 3. Customer complain/customer affairs - I tried to file a complaint or find a solution and tried calling through HQ ***** numbers. Every ***** number I called ended up with "Pepsi Direct" customer service regardless of the issues. Every time I called, I got a different ***** number to call, and they all ended up with difference customer service representatives who was not for the customer complaint or resolution. ********************** is a major global company. How do they get away with this? All these people on payroll, not a single person to handle a customer issue for a small business. It is absolutely incredible.
