GROUNDINGOFFICIAL.COM I ordered an earth grounding fitted Queen bedsheet which arrived quickly from a Burnaby, BC location. I used the sheet for 2 weeks and was surprised by the positive results on my body pains and sleep quality. After washing the sheet it stopped working. I tried using different outlets on the sheet, as there are 4 different placement options on the sheet. I looked up the warranty period and realized I had a 90 day money back guarantee. I contacted them and initially they requested photos of the sheet showing its condition and to confirm its use after washing. This would help them identify the issue and guide me on my next steps. I sent 2 pics of the sheet still on my bed. Then on the next email response they instructed that the sheet be returned to Germany and provided an International address to return the sheet to; and after I provided proof of sending package by providing a tracking number of the package they would provide a full refund after receiving the sheet. As I keep all original packaging on orders that have a warranty period, I realized that the order I received was sent from a Burnaby, BC address, so I responded by email that I would not return the sheet to an International shipping address provided as the product was sent to me from a local BC address. I told them that I expected an immediate refund or a replacement product to be sent. Again they responded that although they understood my concern about an International address they were unable to offer a refund or return on my order. I responded with an email suggesting that they reconsider their response as The Grounding Official website states -“9/10 users love us. If you don’t, we offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee with no questions asked’’. I attached a print screen of this to the email. I wrote that I expected a full refund to be processed immediately. I asked for the Manager to call me and provided my phone number. Their final email response was -“Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We truly understand your position, we’ve reviewed your request carefully. After consulting with our management team, we regret to inform you that we are unable to offer a return or refund for this order. We sincerely appreciate your understanding, and if you have any questions. about your product or need assistance with it’s use, we’d be happy to help.” Yep, I got duped but I’m doing my part to hopefully save someone else some money and stress of being swindled. We live ‘n learn. They will get theirs.

They called and left this message 16672022817 Deposited a new message: "780393. I've been trying to get a hold of you for the past few days. I'm going through your file and files flagged after the 2025 extension deadline, and yours still shows a balance or some missing returns. Not sure if you received our letter in the mail. Please press 1 now to connect with the tax officer assigned to your file. Thanks to the new administration, the IRS has reopened funding for the Fresh Start program. It's meant to help people reduce or even wipe out what they owe so they can have a fresh start as the name speaks for itself. You can also call back at 866-878-0393 and ask for the resolution department. Just mention your reference code or application ID if you already received one. And if you prefer not to hear from us again, just call and press 9." They call with several different numbers. It's getting really annoying. Spam blocked doesn't pick it up.

Scammers trying to sell me a loan of up to 40,000 to pay off debt. They say they have a loan application from me but I’ve never applied for a loan before in my life. Never says the name of the company. They call from different numbers at all hours of the day.

The caller called me claiming to be from the Digital Activation Department. They claimed that a business for the target was not available on the major search engines and platforms. I had been receiving calls from them a few times day since the beginning of this week. They asked for phone number, email and if I owned the company they were calling for. They likely were going to ask for money to put it on a search engine which appears to only be a ploy to get you to give out personal information. The caller ID notes them as a "Potential Spam." I hung up and saw that it was a common scam after looking it up. Just with the initial questions they could have been trying to collect vocal patterns for stealing identity.

I get about 10 calls per day trying to get information for me to receive a loan. I continue to block and report junk all the numbers that called from Ridgegate financial but they continue to call. Typically they are trying to scam people into getting a loan between $50,000 and $70,000.

I used Temu for the first time on November 18th 2025. Ordering from its website from a supplier named Colllla. The item ordered was a sexual wellness device that was supposed to be 50 inches, and 41.9 pounds. Two days later the item was picked up by FedEx. FedEx reported that the packages total weight was only 28 pounds. I had then reached out to the supplier saying there must have been a mix up the item was under weight making it the incorrect item ordered. The supplier didnt reply to me. During the shipping period another person on the website left a 1 star review for the same item that he received was incorrect and under weight. The supplier has a no return/refund policy for any opened packages. Mine is still unopened in its orginal shipping box. They are arguing that the item is correct and does not have any flaws and met quality inspection upon leaving warehouse. But my argument is that it is the incorrect item since it does not weigh the 41.9 pounds that was ordered. Im still waiting for a resolution to this incident and wanted to report them so it doesnt continue to happen to others.

I initially received an email for a position that I do not have any qualifications for and I didn't apply. Then after a few days they sent another email mentioning to check my spam folder to fill out the form attached. I immediately noticed that the form link had .php extension which was suspicious and I searched on the internet regarding the company and thus saw on bbb.org about similar experience of another person.

An automated call wanting to make a "loan". I receive 4 calls a day from a different 800 number and block each number.

Received a text on November 25 (from 47839) "Today is the final day to claim a $600 refund through the 2025 U.S. Safe Driver Program. Check your eligibility now: safedriverbenefit.com/***** Stop2End" Received a text on November 26 (from 47839) "Extended Today: $600 Safe Driver refund still open, don't miss your chance: Qualify here now: safedriverbenefit.com/***** Stop2End"

The merchandise received is very poor quality for what is advertised on their website. They would not honor their own 7 day return policy. They do not offer a return authorization or refund as outlined on their website. They only communicate by email and offer a small discount but will not provide a return auth or refund.

Multiple calls, voicemails, and texts per day from “Tax Resolution Unit” offering persons loan and warning about impending deadline.

I was watching a video of the new bag sealer and cutter on instagram and thought it would make nice stocking stuffers for my adult children. So I decided to see how much they were, and it was during the Black Friday sales. I decided to take a chance it was cheap enough to risk. The grand total end price was $25.88 (not too bad for 5 items if the product was cheap or didn’t work) and when I used my card it charged an extra $8 dollars and some change (not for shipping, not for taxes that was already included in the $25.88) when the transaction went through and was completed, I said oh no!! So, I immediately emailed the customer service support email and asked them to cancel the order and do not ship! They emailed back next day and asked me why I wanted to stop order. I explained to them it was more than I wanted to spend, and then they emailed back and said sorry it’s already been shipped. I’m like I literally just ordered it!!! Going to chalk this up to lesson learned! I usually research my products and companies too….i don’t know why I didn’t do it this time! Laziness kicked in! Shame on me!

It's Monday today, and I'll be available until 6 PM. When you call, please ask for the underwriting team and mention your approval reference ID if you received one.

Tiktok ad for comfrt clothing. had a timer to recieve the discoun. i placed two orders and both came with confirmation and tracking. it’s been 31 days and my tracking says the packages were delivered. i reached out and they told me they were shipping me two new orders since i didn’t recieve the first shipment. i call BS. sounds legit in the emails, i even asked if it was a scam just to tell me so my kids wouldn’t be missing out on xmas gifts and they told me they were a verified, well known company and blah blah blah. it’s a scam. be smarter than i was!

Seller's website offers product with big discounts for larger purposes. The return/refund policy says it can be returned within 30 days. I purchased product, which arrived but does not dispense. I attempted a return that the seller has refused to process, and the seller then processed another payment; they subscribed me without consent. I never received the second shipment, and the 'tracking number' link took me to a site that appeared to be Chinese without tracking information but with a sales popup and then a porn popup.

I was told I would be signing up to be a product ambassador for the SoSo snatched fitness company. This was on September 29th 2025. Through Facebook messenger I contacted the owner off her Facebook business page. I sent my money through cash app and proceeded to wait. Weeks went by where there was no contact and she finally reached out and said she was sick and that she would get to me soon. I still have not heard anything back. I have attempted to request my refund through cash app, and through her website with no luck. The lady is active every day on Facebook and continues to post messages and ignore the people that are posting on her feed asking for their money back.

There was a contract made with Mark Pentecost about repairing the siding on my garage where it was struck by a driver without insurance coverage. On 4/4/25, I gave him a check for $200.00 to purchase the needed material. For several months he communicated to me that the siding was wrong/had not come/arrived, and he was busy with other work. He cashed the check the same day I wrote it. I have telephoned him throughout the past 8 months and his voicemail was not set up, texted him multiple times with little to no response. This exploitation extends to my daughter who gave you $1,000 cash to repair a place on her roof an damage to some siding. I am reporting this to hopefully prevent this from happening to others.

Ordered on March 23,2025 and still have not received to this day. I tried to contact them with no response

Incessant nonstop, spoofed calls to my mobile phone, at all hours of the day and night, leaving the same voicemail: “ …is delivered by Ridgegate financial. Our phone number is 934-947-9605. This message is from the loan department. We have a new offer of $55,000 in the form of a installment loan. Your monthly payment is estimated to be $400. To talk to a funding advisor, please choose option 2….” “ Our phone number is 934-947-9605. This message is from the loan department. We have a new offer of $55,000 in the form of a installment loan. Your monthly payment is estimated to be $400. To talk to a funding advisor, please choose option 2. If you wish not to be contacted again…”

I get about a dozen calls from various numbers a day claiming to be from ridgegate financial claiming that I've been approved for a loan. They say to hit 9 to be put on their do not call list. I've done this and blocked many of the numbers but they keep coming

They call offering a loan and to speak to someone press 2, to be put on the do not call list press 9...this never happens, they keep calling. If you press 2 they hang up. They have been calling me for well over 6 months and often leave a message without actually calling, not sure how they do this. This has been multiple times a day. Don't bother trying to get on the no call list, they then start calling twice as much. Not sure how to make it stop, or why they keep calling. They call at least once per day, sometimes more than 5 times a day. I am wondering if there is another more sinister reason for the calls, one that no one has picked up on yet.

I searched local fireplace companies near me and this came up and said it was verified and had reviews and said it serviced my area. I messaged them through Google and they asked for my phone number and then I texted a number it seemed legit they just asked for my availability for service and my address then I got a phone call to confirm . I texted to cancel a few days later because I no longer needed service and the texts seemed really odd like I was talking to a computer or something. Then I did some digging and found the real company had a different number than the one listed on the Google search . I’m really scared because I have a newborn at home and don’t want us to be in danger

I am filing a formal complaint against SelectSheds.com regarding my unfulfilled order and lack of customer service response. On November 22, 2025, I placed an order with SelectSheds.com for a storage shed totaling $548.99. The company collected my payment immediately, yet the order has remained in “Awaiting Fulfillment” status with no updates since the day of purchase. Since placing the order: The company has not shipped the product. Their customer service phone number is disconnected. They have not responded to multiple messages sent via their website chat and email. There is no alternative contact information available. This behavior strongly indicates that the business is either no longer operating, is engaging in fraudulent practices, or is knowingly accepting payments for products they cannot deliver. I am requesting: Immediate cancellation and full refund. Written confirmation that my refund has been processed. Investigation into this company’s business practices, as they appear to be taking money from customers without fulfilling orders. If I do not receive a response within 1 business days, I will proceed with: Filing a chargeback/dispute with my bank for nondelivery of goods. Submitting a complaint to the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Filing a report with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Notifying my state’s Attorney General Consumer Protection Division. I expect a prompt resolution to this matter.

Saw a TikTok ad selling jeans, thought the price was great and bought multiple items from said sale. Received a tracking number and website to follow the tracking. 32 days later was marked delivered to my town and zip code and I have nothing.

English Translation I always thought I was cautious enough— until the day I received a call from a company named COHIRES Human Resources. It was an ordinary afternoon. I had just sent out a few resumes when the phone rang. A woman with a calm, professional voice told me that my profile had been “selected by their system” and matched a position they were handling for a multinational corporation. My heart sped up. That long-lost feeling of hope suddenly surged back into my chest. She spoke convincingly, telling me I had the potential to enter their “international candidate pool,” and that all I needed was to complete a $5,000 professional evaluation and certification. I hesitated, but everything they provided looked real— the website, the contract, the consultant team photos, the partner company logos, the mock interview schedule… I even found a few “positive reviews” online, as if they existed solely to reassure someone like me. In the end, I paid. 1. The Beginning—Everything Looked Real As soon as the money was transferred, they immediately sent me several “assessment documents” along with a mock interview. The consultant’s feedback was so detailed it felt like advice from a genuine career expert: which responses demonstrated leadership which answers sounded too neutral which English expressions lacked professionalism I completely believed them. There were even three “international corporate” video interviews, but the interviewers never turned on their cameras, claiming it was part of an “internal confidentiality process.” At the time, I didn’t think much of it. 2. The Turning Point: The $20,000 ‘Position Lock Fee’ Then one day, I received an offer letter from someone named Evan, who introduced himself as an “International Recruitment Director.” He said a major global tech company intended to hire me and that I was just one step away from final confirmation. However, because there was another candidate in the last round, they recommended I pay a $20,000 ‘position lock fee.’ He claimed the money would be fully refunded two months after I started the job. The offer letter was eight pages long, each page featuring the company’s header, seals, and signatures—it looked flawless. But I suddenly noticed: the email address wasn’t a corporate domain the contract terms were vague and circular they always refused to let me speak with the “actual employer” directly I couldn’t calm down. A sense of dread began tapping at my chest. 3. The Truth Reveals Itself: I Had Been Targeted That night, I decided to do a full check. I looked up the domain registration of their website—nothing. I reverse-searched the consultant’s profile photos—every one of them was stolen from various websites. The “mock interview coach’s” video came from a paid online course platform. At that moment, it felt like a block of ice had been shoved into my stomach. I realized: The $5,000 was already gone. And their next target was the $20,000. 4. My Counterattack I didn’t confront them immediately. Instead, I saved every email, contract, recording, and screenshot, then: contacted my bank to file a fraud claim submitted all evidence to the cybercrime department posted anonymous warnings on job platforms searched social media for similar cases What I found made me furious and heartbroken— I wasn’t the first. And I wouldn’t be the last. Those “international video interviews,” those “professional assessment reports,” those “consultant photos”… were all templates, reused over and over with different names and logos to trick new victims. 5. The Final Realization COHIRES contacted me one last time with a simple reminder: “You have 48 hours to complete the $20,000 payment, or the position will be revoked.” I stared at the email. For the first time, I felt no anger—only clarity. This was a carefully engineered scam, and I was merely one of the “potential targets” they had selected. I finally replied: “I have submitted all evidence to the police. Your game is over.” After that, I blocked every one of their contacts. 6. Conclusion I’m still trying to recover the $5,000, but what worries me more is this— Somewhere out there, on a night as anxious as mine once was, someone else may pick up an identical phone call, hear the same promises, and fall into the same trap. All I can do now is write down everything that happened, hoping my experience becomes a small light that helps others sidestep the same pitfall.

Ordered product and paid. Product was to arrive in 5 - 9 business days, but it was not delivered. Seller says it is delayed and they will expedite. I explained I am moving in 2 weeks and gave my new address. I have since moved, a month later, and the seller says they have now delivered to my old address but no one has received it. I have emailed the seller numerous times and they insist it was delivered so it it not their problem. I asked for a refund or a new product sent to the correct address, but so far have been declined by the seller.

I receive one phone call every day from a different “person” every time. The caller is an AI voice pretending to represent a loan service saying to call a different number, 855-909-0817, to get the loan. I never answer or call that number. The AI voice is incredibly realistic but subtle inconsistencies make it obvious. Sometimes they call and say they are me.

This company has called from at least 25 different number at least 5 times a day needing my social security number and bank information for an approved loan. I have asked several times and even went and tried to opt out of the phone calls but they still call. I asked to speak with a manager and was hung up on. Please take action and help me

I am contacting you to formally report a fraud committed by a supposed mentor named Kateryna Zhelyeznova, creator of the program “House of Gold” which she promotes on social media and charges through Stripe. * ** ********* *** *** ********* ********** ************ ************** ******* ********* **** **** *** ****** ******** *** ********** **** ******** Below is a clear chronological summary of the situation: At the end of August, I paid the full amount upfront for the “House of Gold” program, trusting her promises. This program included, according to her own sales materials, 90-minute 1:1 sessions, personalized coaching, close support, and a small intimate group for creative and entrepreneurial women. She never provided a proper contract on time. I received it one month later due to her disorganization, lack of structure, and total lack of professionalism. After paying, I had to wait more than 3 months just to receive a link for a single session because she was traveling, running retreats, and disappearing. Her team made constant mistakes, often disappeared for days, and she replied whenever she wanted. When I finally accessed the program, I found that the container had more than 60 people, which is completely different from what was promised. She could not handle the group, and the service was nothing like what she sold. I complained multiple times **** ********** ** *** ******** ************. Her communication was unprofessional, disrespectful, and her team continued to make repeated errors. Finally, after insisting and threatening to file claims, she processed a refund through Stripe. However: She kept two months of payments without justification, without my authorization. I requested cancellation within the timeframe clearly shown in the attached materials. She is manipulating information and acting unilaterally. This person is scamming entrepreneurial women, selling services she does not deliver, manipulating refund policies, and taking advantage financially. Her brand is called “Matriarca,” yet her behavior is abusive and completely contradictory to what she preaches. I have all the evidence.

I purchased a sofa from 25home.com, which was advertised as in stock and ready for delivery. I paid in full, but after 15 days, I haven't received any update, shipping date, or delivery information. All attempts to contact them via email or website have been ignored – they've simply disappeared. Now, I'm having to dispute the transaction with my credit card to try to recover the money. I'm convinced this is a Chinese dropshipping scheme that lures customers with false promises, uses generic images, and fails to deliver, forcing bank disputes. Avoid this company at all costs! I recommend investigating these fraudulent practices.

"Andrea Heath" was friends with four acquaintances on Facebook and friended my husband. With friends in common, he accepted. For several months, it was just chitchat (@3 months). "Andrea Heath" mentioned her success with this platform and how "it would bolster his retirement". He turned her down several times, then finally gave in. Initially, he gave her $5,000 then another $30,000. It was progressively making a profit. Then he rolled his IRA ($330,000.00 over into a 60-day rollover (until 12/20/25). Then last week, they were getting ready to do a 20-day block of time investment to net $1,200,000 in returns to split. In order to authorize this, "Andrea Heath" instructed him with screenshots back and forth from What'sApp on what to click and was walking him through how to move to the next step. At one point, she had him click "claim reward"', which “locked him into the contract”, which turned out to have a $4,000,000 buy-in. "Andrea Heath" claims to have not known the buy-in was that amount). My husband told me about all this Monday, November 24, 2025. "Andrea Heath" has continued to message him, which he has ignored. However, she sent an SMS message today (which did not list a number where it was coming from). He has not opened WhatsApp to read any of those messages and isn't sure he can without alerting her he has read them. We don’t know what to do or who to contact, what documents to send to whom, etc.

I am receiving at least 6 calls a day of which I am blocking and they call from a different number each time.

Everyday I receive 15+ calls from Ridgegate financial. They call from a different number every time and always leave a voicemail with a different callback number of (934) 947-9605. I block all calls each day just for them to call on different numbers the following day. I have tried answering the phone and there are two automated options to choose from. One is to talk to a loan officer but if you choose that option, the phone call drops. The other option is to click “9” to be taken off the call list. I have also chosen that option and I am still called everyday following.

Received a texted message from a number identifying themselves as the MLS Group. They claimed they had my file in office and that it would be noted as refusal to pay if I didn’t respond by the end of the day.

Email Received from [email protected]: GOOD DAY, How are you?. My name is Mrs. Elizabeth Georges, I have a donation fund of $3,600,000.00, which I want to donate through you to help the orphans, widows, handicap people and charity homes. Get back to me immediately after reading this message for more details regarding this humanitarian agenda. Mrs. Elizabeth Georges

This scammer met me on a dating app. He said he wants to help me financially, he sent me a fake check to my account then said I have to donate the $480 so he can send more later. Once I deposited the check and figured it was a scam, I blocked him. Then the next day I receive a bunch of messages and death threats from his “mafia” if I don’t return the money that doesn’t even exist. Their phone number is 469-260-9236

My manager needed me to book him a room at a hotel in Orlando. I looked online for the hotel and called what I thought was the hotel but it was a third party. When I was quoted the hotel rate, the guy told me if I wanted protection against cancellation that I had to agree to a cancellation fee of $19.15, then I commented that I had never heard of a hotel charging that fee and asked him if I was talking to the hotel directly and he said yes, we are a 3 star hotel so we charge a cancellation fee. I asked him so if I cancel a few days prior to the trip if needed, that there would be a fee and he said yes. I told him I was not sure if the trip was on 11/18 or 11/19 since the contact sent me 2 different dates so I had to call back. He said if I give him the details (credit card, expiration date) that he could hold the reservation. I gave him the info and told him to please call me in 5 minutes or I can call him. The next thing I know, he charged my manager's corporate credit card. I called the phone number and the lady I spoke to said she would remove the cancellation fee and that the room charge would take a few days to be refunded. After a few days, I received an email saying the room was Non refundable and that I would be able to get a voucher to use later. I called a number of times again asked they give a full refund for the charge and that I felt they misrepresented themselves and that the transaction was fraud. This has been so upsetting to me and I keep getting internal notices to reconcile the charge. Please help me get this resolved.

I called, got a quick appt for garage door keypad repair. Website promises written estimate plus warranty. Tech arrived, said new keypad needed. Did not even check battery. Then said keypad would cost about $100, but 5yr warranty would be $200, and 10yr $300. I opted for 10yr, at total of $400 (keypad + warranty). He said my emailed receipt would be the warranty. However the only emailed $400 receipt I received was from a credit-card service, not a garage-door company. And it didn’t even mention the service done (nothing about a keypad or warranty). I called the original number several times, each time got a promise that the detailed invoice would be emailed by COB that day. Nothing. Called again next day, same promise, and nothing. Looked again at website. No address, no actual business name, no option for sending a review despite several (I now assume fake) reviews. And they have now changed their web-advertised phone to 844-777-7906. BTW, the tech's phone is 240-872-6876.

They keep calling from spoofed numbers. I receive one to three calls a day all from different numbers. I keep blocking them. "From loan underwriting my direct line is 855-909-0817 you've probably seen rates coming down lately Plus underwriting has opened up quite a bit for people with less than perfect credit so we went ahead and re-reviewed your old loan request this morning and it's now showing a potential approval for about 67 000 if you're still interested then just press one now to connect with the underwriting team or call me directly at 855-909-0817 It's Monday today and I'll be available until 6 PM when you call please ask for the underwriting team and mention your approval reference ID if you received one Hope you're having a great day and looking forward to helping you finalize this To stop updates simply press nine"

I found a job opportunity on ZipRecruiter, it stated to email this company my resume. They replied and sent me a link to check my credit score http://clickfreescore.ascstaffing.org/ & after that was completed to email them back to set a day for my interview.

Bought a month membership for tai chi for 9.99, it said Money back guarantee, cancel any time. I received a 70.76 charge on top of 9.99. The 70.76 was for extra service required for my monthly membership. I did not click the button, I tried to go back to decline the whole thing. A message appear and said to cancel within 3 days, for a full refund. I cancelled in the same hour. I did not received the full refund.

I am filing this complaint due to Luxe Research’s failure to send the correct products, refusal to acknowledge their own fulfillment error, inconsistent refund offers, and misleading/contradictory return and refund policies that conflict with what is advertised on their website. On November 6, 2025, I received my order from Luxe Research and immediately noticed that the products delivered were not the products I ordered. I ordered their “Color Changing Foundation,” but what arrived instead was two bottles labeled “Medium Spectrum Sunscreen Serum SPF 50.” The product labeling, directions, and formulation did not match the advertised item. I immediately contacted the company with photos clearly showing: The product I ordered, The product I received, and The reaction on my skin when applying the incorrect product. Despite sending this information repeatedly, Luxe Research has never once acknowledged that they sent the wrong products. Instead, every response from customer service ignored this central issue and attempted to redirect the conversation toward product dissatisfaction, application tips, or unrelated usage advice. Misleading and Conflicting Refund Policy Luxe Research advertises a “30-Day Money Back Guarantee” on their website, stating: “If you’re not thrilled, send it back and we’ll refund your purchase.” There is no mention of the guarantee being limited to unopened items, nor any exclusions for cases where the wrong product is sent. Despite this, the company repeatedly claimed they do not accept returns of opened items for “hygiene reasons” — a restriction not stated anywhere in their advertised guarantee. When I pointed this out, they continued to ignore both the guarantee language and the fact that the issue resulted from their shipping error. Inconsistent and Contradictory Refund Offers The company’s responses have also been inconsistent and contradictory: In one email, Luxe Research offered a 30% refund without requiring a return. In a later email, they lowered this offer to 15%, unless I paid for international return shipping to China. At no point did they acknowledge or address the fact that the products sent were incorrect. This inconsistency reflects a lack of transparency and raises concerns about unethical business practices. Unreasonable and Unlawful Return Requirements The company is demanding that I: Pay out-of-pocket for international return shipping, Ship the items to an address in Guangzhou, China, Cover the cost for returning products I did not order. This requirement was never disclosed at the time of purchase and contradicts basic consumer protection standards. When a seller sends the wrong merchandise, the customer is not responsible for return shipping, especially not internationally. I requested either: A full refund without requiring a return, or A prepaid return label for the incorrect items. Both requests were refused. Steps Already Taken I have: Reached out to Luxe Research more than 10 times, Provided multiple photos and explanations, Given the company several opportunities to resolve the issue, Clearly communicated the fulfillment error in multiple emails, Warned the company that I would contact the BBB if unresolved. Despite this, the company continues to deny responsibility, ignore the core issue, and provide contradictory refund terms. Desired Resolution I am requesting that Luxe Research: Issue a full refund for Order #LF15957 without requiring a return, OR Provide a prepaid domestic return label (not international) for the incorrect products. Given that the company sent the wrong merchandise and failed to honor the terms of their own 30-Day Money Back Guarantee, I believe this is the appropriate and reasonable resolution.
