Order and item **** **** * ** and was given fake tracking information. Went to my local post office and they said they did not have any information when they checked their database for them. Contacted the telephone number and the person said I was another on the long list of people that were given a false tracking number and they used their company and they were receiving multiple calls. They said they did flag this to their ***** department. Not sure what has been done.Business Response

We are writing in response to the complaint filed by Ms. ***** ******** regarding order #*************.
Ms. ******** placed her order in July 2025. Tracking records indicate that the package was marked as delivered to a parcel locker in Cheyenne, WY on August 5, 2025, under tracking number *************. However, Ms. ******** reported that she did not receive the package and raised concerns about the tracking information.
To address the issue, we processed a full refund of $51.83 to the original payment method. In addition, Ms. ******** has filed a chargeback with her bank, which is currently under review. As the chargeback process is managed directly between the bank and the payment processor, we are cooperating fully and will abide by the outcome of the review.
We regret the inconvenience this matter has caused and appreciate Ms. ******** bringing it to our attention. Regardless of the outcome of the chargeback, we have taken internal steps with our shipping partners to improve tracking reliability and ensure customers have clear delivery information moving forward.
Sincerely,
**** *******

On July 24th I received an item guaranteed authentic & when it arrived it was not. I contacted the seller same the day & did receive an email stating a refund would be issued within 3 to 5 business days. When I didn't get the refund, I contacted them. The terms of the refund changed dramatically. I was originally told I should keep the item. On 8/31 I was told I could mail it back to China, the new refund department location, or I could accept a 20% refund of my payment, or I could accept a 50% refund of my payment in the form of a gift card. I disputed with the credit card company. They denied the claim because my dispute was filed 30 plus days after delivery. It didn't matter that I had been in contact with the seller throughout August. This company sold a counterfeit item at regular price. This is why I'm asking for a refund.Business Response

I ordered a product from
This company on-line on 6/12/25. I received a notice from them that there were delays in shipping due to high demand. A month had gone by and I never received item. After returning home from a 10 day trip, I saw a notice from the post office on my door stating that a package arrived at the post office but it required additional shipping to be delivered to my home. The notice stated that I must pick up the package by a certain date and if not picked up, it would be disposed of. By the time I returned home from my trip. It had been too late and the package is already disposed of. I paid the company for shipping and should have received the product to my

We are writing in response to the complaint filed by Ms. ***** ********** regarding order #*****.
First, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this experience has caused. Ms. ********** placed her order on June 12, 2025, and, due to unusually high demand at the time, we provided notice that shipments may encounter delays. The order was shipped out; however, according to the delivery service, an additional postage fee was required upon arrival. A notice was left with instructions to pick up the parcel before a certain date. Unfortunately, we understand that Ms. ********** was away at the time, and the package was ultimately disposed of by the postal service.
While the shipping issue was beyond our control once the order was in transit, we recognize the inconvenience this created for our customer. After receiving Ms. **********’s request, we promptly processed a full refund of $19.49 to her original payment method. This refund has already been completed, and no further action is required on her part.
We value our customers and always aim to resolve matters fairly and promptly. We believe this resolution fully addresses the concern, but we remain available if Ms. ********** requires any additional confirmation of the refund or has further questions.
Sincerely,
**** *******AN & Associates

I ordered a product from this business on 6/22/2025 for $24.54. I received the product on 7/22/2025 after several false emails stating that my product had shipped. Turns out this company is a **** that ships directly from China, and they are falsely advertising products by using the original manufacturers photographs and descriptions of the product and sending ***** knock offs. I immediately emailed the company and have received the run around on returning the product, receiving a refund, etc. Over the course of three days I was finally informed that I would be receiving a refund on the **** product. That was on July 25, 2025. I have yet to receive that refund. I emailed the company again in the same email thread questioning it, and was informed “We’re sorry for the late status on your order, but we can see that your product was delivered!” Every email comes from a different “customer service rep” and they are copy and paste replies. I have filed a dispute with my bank.Business Response

I purchased what I thought was one of the ****** 6 piece figures on June 14. After ordering I decided I would find it somewhere else because I wanted to see them in person first. I reached out the next day to submit request for refund. The company told me they couldn’t guarantee refund if it had already shipped. But if it hadn’t they would process my refund. I got a tracking a shipping number, but it never changed. It said product was in china and never gave an update. I checked today the tracking number doesn’t work anymore. I have sent about 10 emails today and it keeps getting a reply to send my order information regardless of how many times I send it, the same generated email comes back. I also asked for a refund again and it still sends the same automated email from different users. * ******* **** ******* ** * **** *** ******* **** *** ******** ** *******Business Response

Re: Complaint ID ******** – ******* ******
Dear ********,
We acknowledge receipt of the above-referenced complaint and appreciate the opportunity to respond.
The customer placed order #***** (********* *************) on June 14, 2025. On June 15, the customer contacted us to request a cancellation and refund. Our policy is to cancel and refund orders if they have not yet shipped; however, tracking information had already been generated by our logistics partner at the time of the request.
Following further communication with our fulfillment team, we confirmed that the shipment had not progressed and, as such, we proceeded to cancel the order in our system. The refund for the full amount of $129.99 has been processed back to the original payment method.
We regret any confusion or delay in our email communications, which may have been caused by our automated ticketing system sending repeated response prompts. We are reviewing this process to ensure more direct and personalized handling in similar cases going forward.
It is always our goal to act in good faith and provide satisfactory resolutions to our customers. This matter has now been resolved with the order canceled and payment refunded in full.
Sincerely,
**** *******
