  About 2 months ago I bought from Costco a 4 pack of ******** Clear Gel Advanced deodorant. I used one of the deodorants. When I got the other 3 deodorants from my storage area I discovered that all 3 other deodorants had liquefied and about three quarters of the "gel" had leaked out the bottom of the deodorant containers. I had to throw all three of these deodorants into the garbage.

  Thank you for contacting the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and ********.
  
  We are very sorry to hear about your experience with our clear gel. When this happens, it is typically because, the product is either past its shelf life or, has been exposed to extreme heat. Please look for an email from our ******** team about how we can further assist.

  I returned 3 items that I ordered. 3 were ordered by mistake and I re-ordered the correct ones. The 4th was a duplicate item ordered by mistake. I was given a UPS return label and mailed the items back. They were signed for on 1/16/2024. To date I have not heard anything nor received my refund.

  I purchased a Braun Series 7 7075cc Electric Razor about two years ago to the date. I love this razor, it's worked great for me.
  
  Sadly, while cleaning it, one of the springs that is inside the area under the blades/razor area, popped out and I am unable to get it back in. It seems like it may require some type of machine to actually utilize pressure to get it back in.
  
  The razor will not work without this spring, as it just makes a grinding sound when I turn it on. I have taken VERY great care of this thing as it was not cheap.
  
  I am hopeful that someone can offer a one time courtesy replacement which would be great. I used to spend hundreds of dollars a year on electric razors, and have not had to since i got this one, so I am hopeful that it can be replaced so I can continue to use it.

  I recently engaged with Procter & Gamble (P&G)'s rebate offer, where customers could receive a $15 prepaid gift card for every $50 spent on eligible products. I submitted two rebate claims under this promotion, expecting a total of $30 in return (two $15 gift cards). All my purchased items were eligible, and I soon received emails confirming that both rebates were approved.
  
  However, the issue arose when I received two $5 gift cards instead of the expected $15 ones. Contacting the P&G rebate center, they requested resubmission of my receipts, which I promptly emailed. To my surprise, they then claimed that the product IDs (UPC codes) did not match, which was bewildering as these were the same items I initially submitted for the rebate.
  
  Upon further inquiry, I learned from a representative that there was a mix-up in reference IDs for my rebates, causing a mismatch in examining the item list against the receipts. Tired of the back-and-forth and seeking some resolution, I decided to compromise and resubmit for just one rebate. Yet, even this attempt was met with rejection, with claims that the UPC codes still did not match, despite these being the identical items that were initially approved.
  
  This process has been incredibly exhausting and frustrating. I have spent considerable time and effort, only to face constant roadblocks and inefficiencies. Therefore, I am now requesting P&G to issue a prepaid gift card for the full amount of $20 that I am rightfully owed. This would compensate for the $10 shortfall in each of the two rebates, rectifying the ongoing issue and acknowledging the inconvenience and confusion caused by this situation.

  Thank you for reaching out regarding your Rebate submission and we're sorry for your disappointment. As background, we do not have access to promotions so we have reached out to the Promotions Team for details on their denial. We'll be in touch when we have additional information to share.

  We appreciate your patience.

  Dear BBB,
  
  Thank you for your prompt attention to my complaint (ID ********) against The Procter & Gamble Company. I appreciate the efforts of the BBB in facilitating this process and ensuring that my concerns are addressed.
  
  Regarding the response from The Procter & Gamble Company, I acknowledge their acknowledgment of my issue with the Rebate submission. However, I would like to highlight the following points:
  
  1. Issue Addressal: While the company has recognized the problem, it seems they are still in the process of investigating the matter with their Promotions Team. At this stage, I cannot confirm that the issue has been fully addressed as the outcome of their investigation is still pending.
  
  2. Resolution Offer: As of now, no specific offer of resolution has been made by the company. Their message indicates a need for further investigation, and I am yet to receive a concrete solution or offer to resolve the dispute.
  
  3. Next Steps: I am willing to wait for a reasonable period for the company to complete their investigation. However, I would appreciate a clear timeline and a more definitive response on how they plan to resolve the issue.
  
  In conclusion, while I appreciate the company's initial response, the issues of the dispute have not been fully addressed yet. I look forward to a more detailed and solution-oriented response from The Procter & Gamble Company.
  
  I will submit this response through the online system as requested. Please feel free to contact me if further information is required. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
  
  Sincerely,
  
  ****** ****
  

  

  Business Response

  Date: 01/29/2024

  Thank you again for reaching out. We did hear back from the Promotions Team and using the submissions you made to the Better Business Bureau, the additional rebates were approved. As background, they shared that when uploaded for the rebate, some of the documents did not contain a date of purchase, which is required for verification of
  purchases within the promotion period and has no retailer identification. However, the documentation to the BBB indicated that these
  purchases are from a service called “gopuff.” Since some of the purchases could not be verified
  within the promotion period, they were excluded from the Qualifying Purchase
  Total, which then fell below the $50 threshold, so the rebates were changed to
  $5 rebates. 

  Again, thank you for the documents to share with them. We would recommend looking for the additional rebates in 3-4 weeks.

  Kind regards.

  Dear Better Business Bureau,

  
  I am pleased to see that we are nearing the conclusion of this issue. However, I kindly request that this case remains open until I have received the prepaid **** card and have been able to confirm the correct amount. Given the challenges and near impossibility of directly reaching out to the P&G rebate center on my own, should there be any issue with the prepaid card or if it does not arrive, keeping this case open provides an essential safety net.

  Please find my detailed reaction below:

  I appreciate the company's response and the efforts it has taken to resolve my issue, including their decision to issue an additional prepaid **** card to compensate for the difference in the rebate amount.
  
  However, I must highlight a crucial point from my initial letter to the BBB, which remains a significant concern for me. Despite my efforts to rectify the situation by providing the necessary purchase dates for ****** services, the P&G rebate center did not approve my rebate *even after* this information was submitted. This refusal occurred after they had already approved my rebate for a lesser amount ($5 instead of $15) without informing me of their decision or requesting the missing purchase dates. It was I who had to initiate contact to provide these details in an attempt to correct the issue, only to have my purchases refused for honor.
  
  This experience represents a considerable disrespect to me as a loyal customer who has invested time and effort into applying for the rebate and attempting to make amends for a mistake that originated from the P&G rebate center.
  
  Nonetheless, I am relieved that this issue is nearing resolution. However, I kindly request that the case remain open until I have received the gift card and can verify that the amount is correct. This final confirmation is crucial for me to fully consider this matter resolved.
  
  Thank you for your attention to this issue and for facilitating the communication between me and The Procter & Gamble Company. I look forward to your confirmation on keeping the case open until the final resolution is confirmed.
  
  Sincerely,
  
  ****** ****

  Thank you for your assistance and attention to my complaint (ID ********). I am writing to confirm that the issue has been satisfactorily resolved. 
  
  The Procter & Gamble Company effectively addressed my concerns by issuing two gift cards, each valued at $10, totaling the $20 rebate in question. I have received and successfully activated both cards today.
  

  To The Procter & Gamble Company, I extend my gratitude for your prompt and effective resolution of the matter. Your responsiveness to my concerns has been greatly appreciated.
  
  To the Better Business Bureau, I would like to express my appreciation for your role in facilitating this process. Your efforts in ensuring that my complaint was communicated to The Procter & Gamble Company and in providing a platform for resolution have been invaluable.
  
  This resolution concludes my complaint to my satisfaction, and I am thankful to both The Procter & Gamble Company and the BBB for your roles in reaching this outcome. 
  
  Thank you again for your support and assistance throughout this process.

  Dear Sir or Madam:
  
  RE: Procter & Gamble -- Refunds
  and Inconvenience Fee
  Request
  Pampers Ref.#: ********
  Always Discreet Ref#:
  ********
  
  Statement of Facts:
  
  1. On November 28, 2023, I called "Pampers" and spoke with representative, Linda, to inform her of the two distinct qualities of diapers from two boxes of Pampers Swaddlers Newborn. We had bought it from two different stores, but were of the same kind and size of diapers. We thought this had constituted a "defective box", and "false advertising" as to receive two different quality of diapers from what was shown on the box. One box contained diapers of rough texture, while the other box contained a softer texture of diapers. One box was purchased from ******, and the other from ****** ****. (Please see attached photos depicting the distinguished qualities of diapers).
  
  Linda was kind enough to put in the request of $30 for one box of diapers. She did not request a receipt, or instruct me to send any diapers back to Pampers. She said it will be processed and sent out within 7-10 business days, with a reference#: ********, and a confirmation email was sent to me, as proof of the $30 refund that was going to be issued. This in turn was a confirmation of the "offer/agreement" by Pampers, and "acceptance" by me to receive the promised refund of $30. (Please see the attached email, sent to me on November 28, 2023, confirming the promised $30 debit card, without requiring the receipt or the entire box of diapers back).
  
  Moreover, she said, "in order to be considered for additional compensation for the second box of diapers, to email the receipt and the images of the boxes with the reference#'s written on them." I did just that, exactly what was requested from me. (Please see the attached, for my email to Linda, dated November 29, 2023, sending the photos and receipts of the second box of diapers, for consideration of additional compensation).
  
  2. On the same date of November 28, 2023, I called and spoke with representative, Anita, of "Always Discreet," to inform her of their defective diapers that caused an itch even though it was for sensitive skin. Anita was kind enough to put in the request of $45.98 for two packs of diapers, with reference#: ******** as proof of the $45.98 refund that was going to be issued within 7-10 business days. This again constituted an "offer/agreement" by Always Discreet, and "acceptance" by me, to receive the promised $45.98 refund.
  
  3. On November 30, 2023, I called and spoke with representative, Jaime, of "Pampers" to make sure my email was received from November 29th, since I did not get a response back from Linda. She said it was under review with their team and that they will email me with the decision.
  
  4. Still receiving no response from the "Pampers" team for the next couple of days, I called again to follow-up on December 4, 2023, and spoke with representative, Chris, for status update on the additional compensation for the (second box) of diapers. He said it is still under review, that they will email me with their decision, and that the $30 was issued, assuring me that I will be receiving it soon, and sending me the confirmation email dated November 28, 2023.
  
  As noted on the November 28th confirmation email, nowhere is it written that the decision on the refund for the (second box) of diapers, could affect or withhold the promised $30 refund for the (first box) of diapers in any way. The $30 was supposedly going to be sent out to me as promised and relied upon by me, regardless of the outcome of the decision for the (second box) of diapers.
  
  5. On December 6, 2023, exactly a week after my email was sent to the "Pampers" team for consideration of additional compensation for the (second box of diapers), the Pampers team had made a decision, along with an unreasonable and unrealiatic request to send the entire box of diapers back to them, due to "multiple refunds for multiple reports that were made by me."
  
  Taking a moment to address the "multiple reports" stated in the Pampers team emailed correspondece: the "multiple reports" that they are describing were due to their defective diapers in the past, where the tabs of the diapers would get detached, making the diaper useless. (Please see the attached photos of the detached tab on a Pampers Swaddlers diaper). The Pampers diapers are not cheap, and Pampers always says on the phone, "please let us know if you have any comments or concerns" as they supposedly "value customer feedback". I definitely do not feel valued in any way as a customer, especially being told that I have made "multiple reports." The "multiple reports" were, because of their defective diapers that were not corrected, even though we called to let Pampers customer service know, about the issue on several different occasions, to give them the opportunity to fix the detached tabs on their diapers. We complied with Pampers's demands on every occasion, which were to dispose of the defective diapers and no need to send it to them. We were not withholding any diapers or information from them. I even asked if they wanted the defective diaper back and was told "no" by their representative on numerous occasions. If Pampers do not want "multiple reports" in the future, then their diapers have to be rectified, so as to make the diaper tabs adhesive stronger. We are paying $45 for diapers with tabs that are detaching more times than one, which is not acceptable nor is it something that we should tolerate, or remain silent on. However, we keep buying Pampers diapers, due to their well absorbency, compared to other brands.
  
  Going back to the current issue at hand, to make such a request of sending an entire box of diapers back, after a full week of waiting for a decision, is unreasonable, unrealistic, and unacceptable at best, because anyone who has a kid would know that diapers tend to be used a lot per day, let alone in a week. I can understand if the Pampers team, had requested one diaper from both boxes for further analysis, but to request the entire box of diapers back is not reasonable. (Please see the attached email dated December 6, 2023).
  
  Further, I called and spoke with Supervisor, Thomas, immediately on this date (December 6th), for clarification as to why the entire box of diapers was being requested, even though no such request was ever communicated to me a week ago? No response was provided. He went onto say that, because I had requested the additional compensation for the (second box), they are requiring the entire box of diapers back. I told him, had I known that fact to begin with I would not have wasted my time looking for receipts, or taking photos of the boxes and the diapers. Again, why was not any of this made known to me before?
  
  6. On December 11, 2023, I decided to call and follow-up on the promised $30 debit card from "Pampers", that I have not received to date. I was told that the Pampers team decided that I needed to send all of the diapers back, to now receive any compensation, including the $30 refund that was initially promised to me. This was never mentioned to me, nor was this brought to my attention by any means, whether it be via email or phone call. I only found out after I followed-up, and inquired about the non-receipt of the promised $30 refund.
  
  I thought that the decision for consideration of additional compensation for the (second box), was just for the (second box) only. I was not told, nor did I think that this decision could impact or revoke, the promised $30 refund on the (first box). Why would the consideration for additional compensation for the (second box) of diapers, affect the initial promised refund of $30, for the (first box) of diapers? This to me was a "breach of contract." Not only did I not get considered for additional compensation for the (second box) of diapers, after complying and emailing all that was requested from me, but now I lost the $30 refund that was promised to me and that I relied upon. I thought it was some sort of a joke or a prank. I did not understand Pampers's rationality or logic in doing all of this, and was really disappointed in their customer service and treatment of this matter.
  
  I even requested to speak with the supervisor again, which I did on this date (December 11th). I spoke with Supervisor, Thomas again, who said he could not override Pampers team decision, and that I would have to send back all of the box of diapers to be getting any compensation including the promised $30 refund. I was in complete shock and disbelief that I had lost the promised $30 refund, because of this decision. I explained the situation to the supervisor, to no avail. I was left even more frustrated, upset, and infuriated that I was not getting anywhere with anyone, even upper management. I asked if I can get in touch with the Pampers team, to which the supervisor said he was the highest that I can go, and that there really is not anyone higher up, who could assist me further in this matter, and that the Pampers team decision was final.
  
  7. On December 13, 2023, I called and spoke with representative, Dominique, of "Always Discreet," to follow-up on the non-receipt of their promised refund of $45.98. She said that due to the Pampers team decision, requesting the entire box of diapers back, I now also lost the promised refund of $45.98 from Always Discreet. This again was another "breach of contract", because of what the "Pampers" team decided on a (second box) of diapers. My jaw just dropped at this point, and I could not believe what I was hearing. She said without sending all of the Pampers diapers back, I also cannot receive the promised $45.98 refund. I was left even more puzzled and confused, as to how the Pampers decision could affect the Always Discreet refund. Again, this was never brought to my attention, nor did I have any knowledge of any of this; and had I not done my due diligence by calling to inquire about it, I would have never known all of my refunds were lost.
  
  I was left questioning myself, why did the "Pampers" decision on the consideration of additional compensation for the (second box), have any bearing on my refund for the (first box) of Pampers diapers of $30, that was already promised to be sent, and the refund of $45.98 with Always Discreet? It is unconscionable business practice, and deceptive handling of promised refunds, to provide a refund and then to silently take it back by making a decision on a (second box of diapers). Why request receipts and images of boxes only, and then a week after make an additional unreasonable request to send the entire box of diapers back? Why was not the (second box) of diapers also refunded? It is almost like a "bait and switch fallacy", "where an unrelated information", such as the decision on the (second box of diapers) affected the promised $30, and $45.98 refunds. It is beyond my comprehension and I cannot make sense of it all.
  
  8. On December 18, 2023, I resorted to call Always Discreet, and spoke with representative, Dominique. I had asked to speak with their supervisor, to which she connected me to Supervisor, Jessica. I explained the issue to Jessica, who was kind enough to open up a new investigation into these two cases. I followed-up with Jessica, via email on December 20, 2023, with no response; then called and spoke with her on December 29, 2023, and January 5, 2024, only to be told no decision has been made yet.
  
  9. I waited three weeks on the decision of the (new investigation) opened by Supervisor, Jessica, and on January 9, 2024, she told me that the best that Pampers could do in terms of compensating me was to send coupons for "Pampers", and "Always Discreet" diapers, which I told the supervisor I did not request coupons to be sent, and that I was waiting a different outcome in terms of two of my refunds being sent to me instead. She said she got the clearance for the coupons to be sent on January 8, 2024, and that it could not be stopped. I told the supervisor, that I am given no choice but to file a Complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), since I am not being given the promised refunds. She said she will let the team know and, that it was my decision to file the Complaint with the BBB. Again, I felt like "Pampers" was attempting to avoid paying the actual refunds, and sending coupons as a tactic of "inferior payment method" and getting out of their "contractual obligation" in issuing the refunds as promised. I felt even more disrespected, insulted, depressed, and very stressed that this case was still not resolved after all of the email and phone follow-ups for three weeks as mentioned above.
  
  10. Overall, I felt that I was trapped into sending photos and receipts for additional compensation for the (second box of diapers), only to lose the existing promised refunds of $30 from "Pampers", and the $45.98 from "Always Discreet". I felt disappointed, upset, confused, and very stressed about these cases for a month and a half now. I had exhausted every avenue, including upper management from both "Pampers" and "Always Discreet", within the P&G company to resolve this matter, to no avail. It seems like no matter whom I spoke with, it was always the same response, "you have to send back all of the box of diapers to get compensated," to which I explained over and over again, that I no longer have the box of diapers, due to never being told to send it all back in the first place. If I had been told to send it, or even save the box of defective diapers from the beginning I would have. Instead, I am seemingly being penalized for the customer service representative's, apparent oversight or a gap in P&G's policy that punishes the consumer, rather than bring light to a defect in their manufacturing.
  
  
  Conclusion:
  
  I felt like the "Pampers" company engaged in "unfair and deceptive business practices", by entering into a "contract" where there was an "offer" of promised refund of $30 (providing reference#, and sending confirmation email regarding same), and an "acceptance" on my part to receive the refund, but then Pampers did a complete one-eighty and finding a way to get out of the "contract", by making unreasonable requests and making a decision on the (second box) of diapers, only to take away the promised $30 refund on the (first box) of diapers, and the "Always Discreet" refund of $45.98.
  
  As a result, "Pampers" "breached on their agreed upon contract" by "silently revoking" their agreement, and making additional unreasonable conditions, to avoid sending me the promised $30 refund. This also goes against "consumer protection laws", since Pampers diaper boxes contained different qualities of what was advertised or depicted on their boxes.
  
  I would respectfully request the promised refunds of $30 (from Pampers) and the $45.98 (from Always Discreet) to be issued and sent out to me as soon as possible, without any further delay, and without any further unreasonable or unrealistic requests, such as sending the entire box of diapers back, which again was not requested until a week after my email was sent to them.
  
  Everything that Pampers initially requested from me, they had already received and should have refunded me for the (second box) of diapers as well. With that, I would also like to respectfully request "Pampers" to refund me the additional compensation of $27.94 for the (second box), which a receipt was sent to them as proof of purchase per their initial request. (Please see the attached receipt, for the (second box) that was also sent to Pampers on November 29, 2023).
  
  In addition, I would respectfully request an inconvenience fee (between $50-$100), as part of all of the countless time lost with email and phone follow-ups (twelve times to be exact), "emotional distress/anguish" with not only losing my $30 promised refund, but for the "Pampers" case affecting my refund of $45.98 with "Always Discreet", along with being inconvenienced for a month and a half now, attempting to obtain the above promised refunds without success.
  
  I really felt disrespected and do not understand why "Pampers" would promise me to provide a refund, and then not only to take it back, but to also affect my case with "Always Discreet".
  
  I hope these two cases above with "Pampers" and "Always Discreet," could be resolved within a timely matter, without further unnecessary delay, or to make any other unreasonable requests or conditions to be met after the fact, to avoid providing me the promised refunds.
  
  Thank you for your time, consideration and prompt attention to this matter.
  
  I look forward to resolving this matter within due course.
  
  Sincerely,

  Dear Sir or Madam:

  Thank you for your response in this matter. However, while you claim falsely that it is company policy and procedure, it is completely irrelevant in this current case. 

  The current case involves a "contract" whereby "Pampers" promised to issue and send the refund of $30 for the first box,  regardless of the outcome of the decision for additional compensation for the second box where the entire box of diapers was unrealistically and unreasonably requested after a full week of a wait by Pampers. In addition, it affected my compensation for "Always Discreet" company as well. The fact that I did not get considered for the additional compensation for the "second box of diapers" is one thing, but to lose the initial promised refunds of $30 with  "Pampers" along with the $45.98 with "Always Discreet" is another. 

  No where did it state within your $30 promised email confirmation, that once a decision will be made on the "second box of diapers" for additional compensation, that all other promised refunds will be taken away. If this is truly your company policy, please provide proof regarding same, because I was not made aware of such said policy or procedure. To make such a statement without citing it within the BBB complaint, in my mind is an excuse to get out of the "contractual obligation" to issue and send me the refunds entirely, which as a loyal customer of Pampers is not appreciated nor is it tolerated.

  Furthermore, as I have mentioned over and over again, the request to send an entire box of diapers back after 1 full week, is unreasonable and unrealistic. I was not told of such a request from the nor did I have any knowledge of being required to do so.

  Again, the "multiple reports" are due to the Pampers diapers poor adhesive where the tabs detach. If Pampers does not want "multiple reports", then Pampers has to fix the issue, by making the tab adhesive stronger. This is not the only case with us, if you go to any website reviews on your diapers, customers have been complaining of the same issue where the tabs detach and voicing their frustration and complaints online. Apparently, this is an ongoing issue, and when pointed out on numerous occasions, Pampers likes to penalize the customer for pointing out the problem, but not taking any measures to correct it.

  Again, I would respectfully request the promised refunds of $30 from "Pampers" per the reference# and the email confirmation that was sent to me on November 28th. When you read that email confirmation that I had initially attached to the BBB complaint, nowhere does it note that the decision on the "second box of diapers" would halt the issuance of the $30 from "Pampers" and the $45.98 from "Always Discreet". If this is the case, again please provide proof regarding same (as I have done in my initial filing of the BBB complaint), since I was never made aware of this. Pampers received everything that they initially requested already, in that email request, which was the images of the diapers and the boxes. Nothing else was requested for the "second box of diapers". I would also respectfully request my promised refund of $45.98 with "Always Discreet", which I also received a reference# as confirmation, that it was going to be issued and sent out.

  Moreover, due to the countless contact on my part to have Pampers abide by their "contractual obligation" close to 2 months now, is outrageous and unacceptable business practice, and I would like an "inconvenience fee" as a result of all the time lost, emotional distress/anguish, stress, and trouble, along with being compensated for the "second box of diapers", that I did not get considered for, by Pampers after submitting the initial requests.

  I would appreciate it, if "Pampers" and "Always Discreet", resolved this matter, without any other further delays and excuses for their unfounded and unconsionable action, such as stating that it is their "company policy and/or procedure", which again no such company policy was even cited within the BBB complaint response, by Pampers. This case has nothing to do with company policy nor does it state anywhere that the decision on "the second box of diapers" would cause the customer to lose their initial promised refunds of $30 and $45.98, for no longer having the entire box of diapers that was requested after a full week of no response. 

  Thank you.

  Sincerely,

  *****

  Hi,
  I have P&G rewards account (******************************)
  Recently, I noticed that I was not able to log in my account.
  So I sent a message to the team. They replied that my account has been suspended because of activity appears to be in potential violation. Also they don't give any information about this.
  However, I never make any violation of their rules. I just participate to the programs(quiz, surveys and submit receipts)
  I am making this claim because they really need to change the way how treat their customers.
  Additionally, they are still sending me a promotional advertising to my email even though they suspended my account.
  
  my log in ID is ***************

  I bought two bottle of Old Spice Pure Sport High Endurance body wash and one smelled like burnt sweet fruit which lingered in my nose and dried out my sinuses causing nose bleeds for a few days, also it burned my skin when applied. I used the other one and it smelled like dish detergent and caused sinus congestion and upset stomach. When changing to another bottle a day later all problems stopped and it is okay now. I contacted the P&G questions line to explain this and hopfully get coupons to repalce these bottles but all they said was to stop using it and they will not send coupons to repalce their defective products because I was was given a coupon for another bottle a few weeks earlier due to the same problem but much worse. This bottle smelled like burnt sweet smelling fruit which buned my sinues and I could not taste anything but this for days it too caused my skin to burn and tingle badly. So I am out $15 plus tax and they don't seem to care, just stop using it they say. The LOT number was the same on all three bottles and they all were bad. None smell like Old Spice but like old lady perfume/dish detergent or again burnt sweet fruit. Who wants to smell like that and have a bloddy nose and burnign skin? This company needs to care about its customers and hone up to their mistakes and shortcomings. Make it right you already own too many brands doing business with you is near unavoidable.

  On or about Oct 17, 2023 I ordered a ******* product from **********. The product was delivered on or about Oct 19th 2023. Shortly after I received the product, I realized I had ordered the incorrect size as the refills I had at home would not fit this product. I tried to attach the refills in various configurations to no avail. So, I was not satisfied with the product and decided to get a refund. P&G's own money back guarantee states that "if you are not completely satisfied with a *******
  product for any reason, we’ll refund the purchase price on a prepaid card." On Nov 1st, I filled out the form, and sent them the UPC and all other required information. The form was put in my mailbox on Nov 1st. My printer keeps a time stamp for all documents printed, so this is how I recall the date.
  
  On or about Jan 2, 2024 I receive a card from P&G denying my refund. I call the number on the card and am told that their system is showing a post marked date of 11/17/2023. Since this would be day 31 after the item was purchased, they denied the claim. In order for the claim to be valid, I am told that the post marked date would have to be 30 days. I sent the form in on Nov 1. which should have arrived well within the 30 days' time frame. Is it not possible they did not get to it weeks after receiving it? Is it not possible that someone on their end messed up and put in the wrong date? They claim that since I was 1 day, ONE DAY!!, over their required time frame, they denied my less than $20 rebate. They has scam and unethical behavior written all over it. This company needs to know that no matter how big they are, they need to make their customers happy and not nickel and dime them.
  
  I am asking for a refund of what I paid for this product.

  I ordered a toothbrush as a gift for Christmas. The item was sent via UPS with tracking number ****************** . UPS marked it delivered but when I got home, there was no package at all in front of my door. UPS took some picture of feet and a floor which doesn’t indicate my location and unit number nor any proof that they delivered it to the correct address.
  
  The business is refusing to refund my money back. You would thought you would get good customer service to a business you thought that offers many good products and which product is also I’ve use for a long time. All I want is for them to give me back my money.
  
  To any consumer reading this, don’t order directly from them. Or consider other options before buying Oral B and/or P&G products. Customer Service is horrible and doesn’t want to take accountability.

  Thank you for contacting the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Oral-B.
  
  We are very sorry to hear that you did not receive your order. After researching the tracking number, and consulting with the delivery service, it was determined that the order was delivered as expected. For this reason, we are not able to send a replacement. 
  
  Our suggestion would be to consult with local law enforcement and report the item stolen. 
  
  We appreciate your patience, and the opportunity to address your concerns.

  On November 21, 2023, I ordered a twin pack ****** **** from the Oral B website for $130. It shipped fast, but they didn't include my street number, only the city and state. So on November 29, USPS sent it back to them. I called and chatted twice with their customer service and they are refusing to send me a replacement or a refund. They told me IF the warehouse receives the package they will then give me a refund. Could take a month. Worst customer service ever.

  Thank you for reaching out and we're sorry for your disappointing experience. It does appear part of your address was not included with the order, therefore the shipper was returning it. In this situation, we do have to allow for the order to be returned, before further action can be taken. We have reached out to the team previously and the order was not returned as of yet, we are asking again.

  We appreciate your patience and have expressed your disappointment with our policies.
