      Complaint Type:
      Product Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      On 7/12/2023 I purchased a welding machine from Barnes Welding Supply for $4,555.92. I returned it by August 8th after only one use and a second attempt the machine stopped working. I was told they could not accept the machine there because it did not work that I had to take it to Fresno which I did. I told them I wanted a new machine or my money back because there was no reason for a new machine to stop working before 30 days. They told me that I could not return it because it has been past 30 days and that it was under warranty for repair. I insisted I did not want that machine and it was not past the 30 days. I filed a credit card dispute, but the credit card company closed the claim after several attempts. The business refused to return the money and even told me that they would charge my card again if the money was reversed which I opposed. I don't have the machine as it took over a month to repair and told them I didn't want it. At this point I no longer want to do business with Barnes Welding Supply and would just like to have my money refunded. This has been a very frustrating experience and very stressful. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
