      I had previously submitted an application to adopt a kitten and my application was approved. Went into the shelter and fell in love with a kitten and was told that they did not have time to adopt the kitten to me same day and they had me schedule an appointment for the next day. I also asked if there were any other appointments before me to adopt the same kitten and was told no!The next day I showed up before my appointment time and they had adopted the kitten to someone else. A worker at the shelter said that they do not hold kittens. Like a first come first serve.Well if that was the case I was here yesterday so I was here first. But I guess you have to have an appointment. And just because you have an appointment for one animal doesnt mean you cant adopt a completely different animal even though that animal was not the one you were initially interested in and to top it off they take no consideration of the other people that made a appointment who were actually interested in the animal. What is the point of coming into the shelter and looking at the animals or going online or scheduling an appointment for a specific animal? What is it so you can get peoples hope up just to crush them. This is a terrible way to treat people that are coming to your facility to adopt their forever friend. This place should be ashamed of their work policies.Or maybe change your slogan to Paws in ******, ** come to have your dreams crushed.

      Good afternoon, 
      We are sad to hear about your experience with your kitten. As proud Pet Parents, we care deeply about the well being of our pets and their families. At Paw.Com we do not handle any adoptions, and we think that your request was intended for another company. We certainly hope that your issue is resolved soon.

      I remember going into their website and when I realized that there was a cost, I back out of the web page. The same day I received the notice that I was charged, I contacted both ****** and Paw Champ the same day it was charged. I have never accessed their training site and they can verify that.

      I returned the product unused as per their instructions. **** is saying it was delivered but they're saying they never got it and are refusing to credit my account. **** has delivered since 5/19/2025 and it's now 6/3/2025 and still no credit!! I returned well within the allotted time frame to return the product. I want my money back. I sent them lots of pictures of product so they could see that product was unused.

      I purchased a blanket from them and when I tried to contact them about returning it, no one wanted to respond to my emails. I sent five or six emails and it wasnt untilI threatened them about contacting my attorney and the Better Business Bureau. Somebody finally returned an email and said it was OK to return it and they gave shipping label and promised that they would give me a full refund and would not charge me a restocking fee for the inconvenience. I shipped the item back waited a couple weeks still never received. My refund so I sent them another email and another about five or six emails. No one responded until I threatened my attorney again and so they finally processeda refund which was not the full amount like they promised me and Ive sent them another two or three emails and I still have not my full refund. These people were only out for sales. They do not care about customer service so I am going to file a formal complaint with myattorney and with the courts to get my money back I dont care that it is only $138. These people do not care about customer service. worked retail for over 20 years. This is not how you treat patrons

      I made a purchase in February and all seemed fine. My daughter did receive the gift.I was looking over my statement and found 2 more monthly charges for more than the original amount for things I didnt order and were never shipped. Their website didnt even show what it was for. My credit card company took care of it.

      ***'s website clearly states / stated at the time of my purchase that all orders above $50 will ship free within *****************. A screenshot showing this in writing on their website is attached below. Despite meeting the order minimum, Paw did not offer any free shipping options. At first, there was ONLY expedited options available, and then I later saw that there was an Economy Shipping method, but even that was charging me $14.99 - and in fact, charging me even more than the 2-day expedited shipping was. I checked out anyway, figuring this was an easy fix that Paw's customer service could resolve and refund for me on the back end. Unfortunately, the company is refusing to honor their own policy, instead chalking it up to a typo that they now expect their customers to pay for. The customer service agent I have been emailing first stated that they cannot refund me my shipping cost because the free shipping only applies to economy shipping. I then explained that the economy shipping was charging me more than the expedited shipping, so I checked out selecting the cheapest shipping option (which happened to be expedited). After I explained this, the customer service agent then came back and said she could not refund me the shipping cost because my order subtotal was not $75. I reiterated that their website states order subtotals only need to be $50 to receive free shipping, and she is still refusing to refund my shipping cost. I am requesting a refund of the $12.99 shipping + tax that I was charged, in accordance with Paw's written and public policy.

      Good Morning,

      The customer contacted us about the issue on 12/20/24 at about 6:30pm EST. This is outside our operating hours. However during the holiday season we have coverage over the weekend and their ticket was responded to on 12/21/24 at about 10:20am. The initial conversation was regarding the free shipping and a wrong size ordered. We were unable to modify the order however we were able to cancel it, which came upon the customer's request. Then they began to work on the other issue regarding the free shipping. Our agent determined that based on the screenshots provided the customer selected expedited shipping and that was the reason for the shipping charge. The customer provided a chat message screenshot from our chatbot who did indeed quote that the minimum purchase threshold was $50. This was once true but is outdated. However, the selection of expedited makes this irrelevant since that is a paid service. The misunderstanding was due to the agent missing that the expedited shipping option was less than the standard option, which is why the customer selected it. Once escalated and reviewed by the team lead this was discovered and the customer was refunded the shipping charge they paid. The agent has been scheduled for coaching on our weekly QA day. This matter has been resolved with the customer's requested resolution.

      Thank you,

      Paw.com lists that you will get one free product if you spend $100+ in additional product and that the discount will be applied automatically. I made a purchase of over $200 in product but the discount wasn't applied to the free product. When I called they said I couldn't use one their other discount codes and receive the free product but their advertising both on Friday 10/25/24 and today, do not specify ANY restrictions for receiving the free product. Customer support (so far) hasn't been able to refund me what I was charged for the free product ($47.20). I want a total refund in the amount of $61.10 to include $13.90 (an additional 5% off my order since they've increased the discounts today with BOO25 code.)

      Business Response

      Date: 11/04/2024

      Good Afternoon, 

      Our support agents spoke to the customer on our attached support ticket ******. It was explained to the customer that our system will always choose the larger discount. And since the customer added a promo code to receive 20% off their order and this discount was larger than receiving the item for free; that discount was automatically applied and they received a discount greater than the value of the free item. However, as a courtesy because of the misunderstanding we refunded them for the free item the same day they reached out to us. As an additional courtesy they have been refunded the extra $13.90 for a discount that the customer wanted to apply after having placed their order with a different promo code applied. Ultimately, this was handled well by our agents. And we have gone above and beyond for this customer. The refunds have been issued and we hope that the explanation of what happened by both our agent and this message are enough to clarify the situation and where the customer misunderstood. 

      Thank you,

      I ordered two pet waterproof blankets from paw.com. I received no payment receipt but I did receive an order number. Then I received notice that the blankets had been delivered to my address this last Saturday, via ****** services. This is patently false: ****** has no record of said delivery, nothing was left with us (we were home), and now the paw.com site says my order has been fulfilled.I paid over $200 USD for these two blankets. Another Issue I now have is that I may have exposed sensitive information to phishers, as I thought an email with a tracking number was legitimate. It had the same paw.com custom service address as previous communications. So its clear that the paw.com servers are not secure.I think this may be a scam company. I filed a complaint with my credit card company this morning. I do not believe we will ever receive the blankets.

      Customer Answer

      Date: 09/11/2024

      The blankets were delivered in an Amazon box, and not a box marked Paws.com. Therefore, we thought the box was a lamp (slated to be delivered that same day), and did not open it. After communicating with paws customer service, we were able to locate the shipment, and consequently want to mark this matter as resolved. Just be aware, that your orders may be coming from ****** with no indication from Paws that this is the case.
