  I recently purchased Tide Ultra Oxi Pods. This was my first experience with Ultra Oxi Pods, as I had previously only used regular Tide pods. After using the Ultra Oxi Pods, I noticed a brown/dark blueish stain on a dress shirt. Initially, I didn't connect the stain to the pods, assuming it was just an unremovable stain. However, after the same type of stain continued to appear on multiple dress shirts—I only wash shirts (all light blue color) by themselves, with no other garments, and I never overload the washer and always put one pod in washer per load.—I realized the problem was related to the Ultra Oxi Pods.
  
  I checked online and saw others complaining the same problem, it seems that when pods were not put in the washer before the cloth is the main issue. But nowhere on their container says "put pods before clothing". I have contacted P&G customer service, filed a case with multiple pictures showing the stain on my 4 shirts, with receipt showing a total of $120 replacement cost. After a few weeks, I received a letter saying they determined the stains were not related to tide pods, the stain were pre-existing before the washing. However, what are the chances I have the same type of stain on all 4 of my shirts?? these shirts were worn indoor, often inside of a suit, there were no pre-existing stain on those 4 shirts before washing with Tide Ultra-Oxi pods!! The P&G sent me several coupons ranging from $2-$6 for some other products they are selling (body wash, soaps, etc) along with letter. These coupons are absolutely useless to me. I am extremely disappointed by the Tide UltraOxi Pods, even more, I am disappointed by how P&G handled my case. They should compensate me with the replacement cost of my 4 shirts. More importantly, listening to customers' feedback, let customer know pods need to in before clothing!! P&G needs to realize there are many chats on Reddits and other platforms talking about the tide pods' problem.

  Thank you for reaching out to the Better Business Bureau, we're sorry for your experience and the disappointment when the claim was denied. Based on the photos provided, the color and the patterns of the stains would not be expected from Tide. If you would like to return the Tide Pods and the items that are stained via physical damage claim, we'll be happy to reopen you case and do a physical evaluation.

  Please let us know if you would like the mailing material sent.

  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, reasons for rejection are included below.

  
  

  The same type of  stain appeared on 4 dress shirts from different loads, each load's clothing content were somewhat different, but the common factor is Tide Oxi pod.  Also, I had these 4 shirts for about year and only start to use Tide Oxi Pods ~2-3 monthes, and these stains only occurred after I started using Tide Oxi Pods.   To compare, I have used Tide Downy Pods for several years and never had issue, the way I do laundry has not changed, the only thing changed is the Tide Pods.  Tide Oxi Pods says it is very effective to remove stains, but may also cause stains from colored clothing to other colored clothing.  

   

  I have found a website reporting the same issue:

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

  I purchased Tide Oxi Pods from ******, to which I have returned the product as I don't plan to use Tide Oxi Pod again. 

  I still have the 4 stained 4 shirts and can send to the company if they are willing to pay for the shipping charge.

  Thanks for writing back. Based on the review of the photos, the damage to your items is not expected to be from Tide. We're happy to reopen your claim and have sent material for your to return the shirts and the Tide product for further evaluation, please look for the mailing to arrive in about two weeks. While this is not a guarantee of reimbursement, it is the guarantee of a fair evaluation.

  I tried to submit the rebate form for the Good as Gold Rebate on 9/21 and 9/22 multiple times on ***************** and kept getting this error code "Our Apologies an unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later". This is not an error on my end but on P&G's end with the website as I had tried several devices, cleared cookies, and used different browsers.
  
  I did email P&G about their site being down and included a copy of the time stamped error message from their site altering them that customers trying to enter the rebate can't as their website isn't working. The deadline to submit was 9/22 11:59pm.
  
  PG responded to me via email that they weren't able to help me as rebates must be entered on their site and that they had closed the form on 9/22.
  
  I am owed a $15 **** card rebate as my items totaled over $50 in PG selected brands (see terms and conditions attached).
  
  It isn't a customers fault that PG website was down, I had tried several times prior to the due date, & especially when I brought it to their attention and sent them screenshots of the issue and they have no intention of helping per their email they sent to me.

  I got approved for the “Good as Gold” for spending $50 and was supposed to get a $15 prepaid card within 6-8 weeks after I got my confirmation email on August 5. 8 weeks have passed and I still haven’t received the card yet in the mail. I have contacted support twice and have received no response. I would just like to get the card reissued again.

  I am writing to express my concerns about the pricing of Procter & Gamble's GilletteLabs products, particularly in ******. I recently purchased disposable razors that cost $10 per blade ($39.99 for a 4-pack) as of October 7, 2024. This pricing can be described as excessive to say the least and raises questions about the fairness and justification behind it.
  
  While I appreciate the coupon I received from your customer service in the past, it did not address the ongoing issue of price increases at retailers. I cannot understand why your disposable razors, which have a known markup of around 5000%, are priced so exorbitantly.
  
  In a market where many alternatives offer similar quality at a fraction of the cost, it becomes increasingly difficult to justify spending such sky high amounts on Gillette products. This disconnect between pricing and consumer expectations has likely contributed to declining sales for the brand.
  
  I genuinely enjoy your products and would prefer to remain a loyal customer. However, the current pricing model is unsustainable for me and many others. I urge your organization to reconsider the pricing strategy for GilletteLabs products to better align with consumer expectations and market realities.
  
  Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope to see positive changes in the near future.
  
  Sincerely,
  ****

  Thank you for contacting
  Gillette. We know that the price of razors is a concern shared by many
  consumers and our Gillette team has taken note of what consumers are telling
  us.
   
  Every person is unique and has different
  preferences and needs when it comes to style, skin AND wallets. That’s why
  Gillette offers the widest range of razor options at various price points so
  that every consumer can get a comfortable shave at a comfortable price,
  regardless of their needs.
   
  We use top-grade steel and enhance our blades
  with high-tech coatings which help them cut better and last longer. If you're
  shaving 3-4 times per week, your cartridge should last about one month which is
  likely cheaper than a competitor brand that recommends changing the cartridge
  every week.
  
  Having said that, it is important to remember
  that although the retailer will use the manufacturer's suggested retail price
  as a guide, ultimately the price they set is at their sole discretion.
   
  Please know we're committed to producing our
  products as economically as possible, while at the same time maintaining their
  high quality. We also work with retailers to offer special savings that you can
  often find in their advertising or direct mail offers. Additionally, you can
  sometimes find coupon offers on our Gillette website. Finally, as a gesture of
  goodwill, we were happy to send you some high value coupons previously, we’re
  sorry we aren’t able to continue doing that. 

  
  We do appreciate your loyalty hope the performance you
  get from our products encourages you to continue purchasing but we respect every consumer's situation is different.

  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, reasons for rejection are included below.

  
  

  
  

  I appreciate your detailed response. I must admit I'm a bit dissapointed with your response as I was not looking for a coupon or a freebie (which you implied), I simply wanted to share my story because I feel that I owe it to the brand that I've loved and stayed loyal to for 20 years (since I began shaving). 

   

  While I don't discredit any of your premium products, I'd like to clarify that even Gillete itself suggests replacing these blades "a couple of times per week" (as directed on several of your social media campaigns). I'm going to pretend that you didn't suggest that your blades are cheaper than your competitors.. mostly for your own sake. 

   

  The last thing I'd like to say is that you did not send me multiple high value coupons. You sent (and I used) one coupon for $48 which got me a cartidge of 4-blades.

  While I understand how the retailer ultimately sets these prices, they're near identical at every single provider which goes to show that the cost to purchase this product (from you guys) is way too high. 

  As I noted in my initial complaint, you've officially lost me as a customer. I simply wanted to take an opportunity to give you a snapshot from a loyal (former) customer as I'm sure your team has a department that likes to research/investigate the reasons behind your continuous decline in sales volume.

  Thank you for your time and I wish you all well.

  Regards,

  I purchased a multipack of Puffs Plus facial tissues and one of the boxes in the pack was fully sealed but was empty.
  
  I use puffs plus exclusively as I have a chronic sinus condition that two surgeries have not helped.
  
  Needless to say, I was very dismayed when I reached for the box and it was empty.
  
  I would just like to get a replacement for my empty box.

  I am filing a complaint against Procter & Gamble Co., regarding their SK-II skincare products and the handling of my case by their customer service team. I have purchased an SK-II product from an official SK-II store in ***** where I was told that this is a global brand and trustworty. I paid in total $400, the products were Facial Treatment Essence and Advanced Cream. These products are advertised as suitable for any skin type even for sensitive skin. Despite having a normal skin with no allergic issues before after using theirs as directed, I experienced a severe skin reaction, including acne breakouts, redness, and enlarged pores. I contacted SK-II's customer care to report the reaction. They instructed me to return the products for evaluation and asked me to insure the package to cover any potential damage during transit. They told me I would receive a refund or compensation upon receipt and evaluation of the returned products and how much is left. I have all the emails showing these instructions. As guided, I paid an additional $40 for shipping and insurance and mailed the products back. The package was delivered, confirmed by tracking number. After confirming delivery, I contacted customer service multiple times to check the status of my case. Another customer service representative informed me that I had been misinformed and that they could not offer a refund or compensation. They mentioned that they would evaluate the situation and get back to me, but I have not received any further communication. My subsequent emails and calls have gone unanswered, leaving me without the products or any form of reimbursement. In the end I am left with a a total of $440 lost ($400 for the products and $40 for shipping and insurance) and no product in return, additionally I suffered a severe skin reaction due to the use of the product. I have made multiple attempts to resolve this matter directly with SK-II's customer service, over phone and email with no result.

  Thank you for reaching out to the Better Business Bureau and our team. We’re very sorry about your experience and understand how upsetting something like this can be.  We did share your report appropriately within our company and would like to share some information. o
  
  Please know, safety is our top priority, and all our products are thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed.   While all our ingredients are thoroughly evaluated to be safe and effective when used as directed, we recognize some people may have personal sensitivities and cannot tolerate a particular ingredient or formulation.  We're sorry that you're not able to use the products purchased and we were happy to provide you the directive for consideration of a refund, although the purchase was made in April. As shared this week the product return was processed on 9/25/24 and a debit card has been requested for a refund of the products and the shipping. Please know, once a mailing is processed, it can take 2-4 weeks for a decision to be made, but we're glad in this case it was faster. The debit card was requested 10/2/24 and will now go through processing with the bank and should reach you within 10 business days. Please know, processing time at the bank and within the government postal service can take time and while we expect the card to arrive within 10 business days, at times, it can take a few extra days. Since the card was just requested, we recommend waiting until the end of next week to call the number we provided to confirm the ship date with the bank. 

  As always, we appreciate you reaching out and wish you the best.

  YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS ON CHAT ON THE ORAL B WEBSITE ARE USELESS AND SHOULD BE FIRED!!! I need a NEW toothbrush and your products are complete junk and not reliable! This is the second time within 2 years your toothbrushes stop charging! I paid $114.00 for a toothbrush and in less than a year it wont charge anymore! When I reached out to customer service to get a replacement they wasted my time by telling me to fill out a form! Giving me the run around instead of living up to their warranty! Their products are JUNK! IF Oral B does not send me a replacement to my NEW address: * **** ******* *************** ** *****.

It does not charge, I tried every option to fix it and it will not charge! 

  I will NOT send any personal hygiene product that I use in my mouth in the mail so that others' can be touching it and who knows what they would do. I do not trust something that you use in your mouth to be handled by strangers! That is beyond disgusting and unsanitary! Ever hear of COVID?

  So because ORAL B will not stand by their warranty, Just refund my credit card the $114.99 so I can make a purchase with a different company that lives up to their standards...especially their warranty. This is the SECOND TIME this has happened with this toothbrush and this time it did not even last a year. This brand is junk and I will not make a purchase with ORal B again. 

  I should not have to go through this hassel with a BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY! 

  Once my card is refunded then I will consider this matter to be closed. 

  
  Regards,

  Thank you for writing back and again, we're sorry for your disappointing experience.

  We'd like to investigate further your mention that the websites states a new brush will be sent. While it is correct, as we replied with previously that if an issue is found in the handle or the charger, a replacement for the defective part will be sent. It does require the unit be returned to the Service Center to test on the parts to determine the defect, and if the unit is within warranty based on the receipt and terms, a replacement  for the defective part will be sent.  Visit **************** to register for service and print the label. 

  If you could send us a screenshot of the information you mentioned on the website that is causing confusion, we'll be happy to investigate if there is an outage on our site.

  We look forward to hearing back from you.

  I will be contacting a lawyer at this point. Your customer service is beyond a joke. You don't listen to complaints or resolve them. Your warranty is also a joke! I never had this much of an issue with any other company when it comes to a warranty or replacement.  And since you haven't refunded my card and expect me to mail a personal object that I stick in my mouth for others to handle you are out of your minds!!!!! ! I will make sure to get more then $114.99 once I contact a lawyer. I will be spreading the word on this company and you're incompetent employees! I'm done with this company. I will never buy any oral b products or products from proctor and gamble!

  I bought Swiffer Mops, refills and pads. They don't work as described. They advertise money back guarantee but they want the upc code. I threw pkg away, now I just have proof of purchase from ******. That's not enough, nobody holds onto the pkg. I didn't expect any problems since they offer a money back guarantee. Why offer the guarantee if they don't honor it? It's false advertising!

  Thank you for reaching out and we're sorry for your continued disappointment with Swiffer. It is important to know, we have our Money Back Guarantee Division and then Consumer Relations, which is our team. If you mailed in and submitted the proper documentation for the MBG, you'll need to work with that team directly. If you do not have the items required for the MBG, then our team would assist.  While we don't have access to the Money Back Guarantee Department records, we did review our records in Consumer Relations. We see that you have made multiple reports of issues with Swiffer since this summer, in addition to a report on another P&G and the number of reports exceeds what we feel is reasonable. Based on our records, it appears the same or similar report has been made on the same product more than once. We allowed some compensation to be sent, but in order to consider if we can refund for the mop, you would need to return the unit to us per the letter sent. Please send the receipt and the Swiffer mop to the address below via trackable shipping. You are welcome to include the receipt for the cost of shipping and once received, we'll refund based on the purchase price on the receipt.

  Please send it to:

  Alta P&G Team

  We look forward to receiving your shipment.

  Thanks for writing back regarding Swiffer. Unfortunately, the number of reports from your household exceeds what we feel is reasonable. As shared in the letter we provided, you would need to return the device via trackable shipping. Once received and evaluated, we will review for consideration of compensation.

  Kind regards.

  Purchased this unit February 22nd...*** ******* *****. Per Periodontist. Had gum surgery August 5th I've Purchased 60.00 in replacement heads 1 being a specialty head for in-between teeth. I registered the unit but apparently that doesn't activate warranty. The unit won't hold a charge I'm able to use in the a.m. but not the other 2 times afay needed. The company will send me a tracking number to send back I pay all shipping, takes weeks to send ,repair and send back. I was offered a 15.00 coupon to use for throw away unit but that takes weeks to get to you also. I have to purchase? But can't use special head for weeks ? This isn't just a can't brush teeth, this is a medical issue and I found their response to be not helpful at all ! I believe a replacement and I return this one.

  Thank you for contacting the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and
  Oral-B.
  
  We are very sorry to hear about the issue you had with your
  rechargeable toothbrush also, please know that we will share your
  disappointment with our warranty process and policy of using the
  Service Center with the rest of our team. Please know that, our  warranty process is
  documented online and we highly encourage consumers to review it prior to
  purchase. Our warranty requires you to return the unit for evaluation at a
  Service Center, with all parts and the receipt and is good for 2 years based on
  the date on the receipt. Using out website, consumers
  have the opportunity to print a free return label and we also make every effort to ensure our turnaround time for this process as fast as possible.
  
  Our records also indicate that we have sent a prepaid debit card
  that can be used towards a brush to use while yours is at the Service Center.  Again, we encourage
  consumers to familiarize themselves with our policies before making a purchase.
  More information on these policies can be found in the link below.
  
  ****************
  
  Again, we are very sorry for your experience and appreciate the
  opportunity to address your concerns.

  For a large company your response is very unusual but maybe thats to be expected, this was required of me by a specialist for medical issues and yes you are sending me a 15.00 card to use towards a purchase of temp brush but no idea when it would be received....I just spent probably 150.00 on your product spent 9.00 to send back the brush after purchase on February 22nd 2024. Not your problem but my surgery cost me 3000.00 so this wasn't a small issue.  I realize I'm just a plain old consumer but you never addressed my real issue. Thank you for all you did do

  Thanks for writing and we're sorry for any confusion. You do not have to pay the cost of shipping the unit back if you use our website to upload your receipt, it will allow you to print a shipping label that will cover the cost of shipping to the Service Center and provides the tracking information, you can also follow the progress of the evaluation. We hope this information is helpful.

  Thank you for providing the receipt, we hope this finds you doing well. Please look for a debit card to refund the price of shipping, it should arrive in about three weeks. We truly appreciate you using Oral-B and are sorry for the disappointment our service process has caused.

  Please reach out anytime.
