      My mom ordered a waterproof throw blanket for me in December. I have washed it in cold water multiple times, and laid it out on an ironing board to dry. At first I figured all the loose fur would eventually come out and it would stop making a huge mess of my living room. More fur falls out of this blanket than my dogs sheds. Its a mess. My mom called them earlier today and they told her to wash the blanket and then comb it so they could see photos of the fur coming out of the blanket. We don't need to do that, you can see all the hair that has come loose because it is all over the blanket, its very apparent. So I chatted with their customer service online to ask if I could send the pics of what I have. I am not interested in washing the blanket yet again. (The fur gets all over my floor, couch, and wash machine.) This time they declined to even assist me, and offered a 25% off coupon! I am not sending them more money! I would like a refund. The order is under ************************* ********************* The blanket was approximately $100.

      Good Morning, 

      Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your order number ****** and support ticket number ******. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience the customer experienced with the waterproof throw blanket. After careful review, it appears that this purchase was made on December 1, 2023, and unfortunately falls outside of our 30-day return policy, and thus is not eligible for a refund.

      While we typically replace items deemed defective, it seems the issue encountered may stem from improper care. This specific product has overwhelmingly positive feedback with ****** reviews from verified customers with a 4.9 out of 5 average. With this and satisfaction in mind our agent advised during the interaction on support ticket ****** some possible remedies that have worked for others with similar circumstances. We understand the customer's frustration and have offered the maximum discount available, 25%, towards purchasing a replacement. However, as a one time courtesy we're willing to make an exception and issue a refund for the item if the complaint is withdrawn. Our customer's satisfaction is our priority, and we aim to resolve this matter to their satisfaction if possible.

      Please let us know how they would like to proceed, and we'll be more than happy to assist further by providing the refund if the complaint is agreed to be withdrawn.

      In August 2023, I purchase a puppy from PetLand in *******, **. The puppy was ill from the moment I took her home she had green mucus discharge I thought it because she had bathe before leaving the pet store. I had 4 days from making the purchase if any issues that *** occur. The puppy was very ill through the night coughing and wheezing. I took her to the vet care that had an appt ************************ in *******, **. She had a breathing condition which needing treatment for 5-6 days that had I not brought her in sooner she could have past on the following according to the doctor. *** I have been dealing with Paw Solution (claim no *****) since day one I have emailed and call numerous times and repeatedly been told the same response looking into it. I was finally told in December 2023, they have settled not the same amount I paid because they said no X-rays, doctor visit or treatment is not included. Which is ridiculous when I paid out of pocket in full which was mention before. The check/bank name cannot be given to me though I have confirmed my address. *** another claim number ***** was issues because of the suppose lost check.

      Good Afternoon, 

      We are truly sorry to hear about the ordeal you've experienced with your puppy. However, it seems there might be a misunderstanding as we, at Paw.com, do not sell sell pets. Nor do we handle claims related to pet purchases. It appears there might have been confusion with another company given this and that those reference numbers given do not show up on our records at all. While we can't assist with your specific situation, I sincerely hope you find resolution swiftly and your puppy recovers fully. If there's anything else I can do to assist you, please don't hesitate to reach out.

      Dear *******************,

      I am writing to apologize for the confusion and delay that occurred with your recent shipment. We understand how frustrating it can be when you don't receive your order on time, and we are truly sorry for the inconvenience that this has caused you.

      After investigating the matter, we found that there was a delay with the courier ******* on this shipment. Although it was sent from our warehouse on 2/21/23, there was no update on their end for several days. When you contacted our customer service agent, he processed a replacement for you. However, before the replacement could be fulfilled, we saw movement on the original order with the courier ******* and thus cancelled the replacement, which is why you did not receive a notification email regarding the replacement shipment.

      We apologize for the confusion and lack of communication in this matter. We will ensure that our agent who handled the call and the replacement is coached to make sure that neither you nor anyone else has a similar negative experience in the future.

      We are happy to inform you that the original shipment, with the tracking number ********************, is showing on the ***** website as out for delivery today, 3/2/23. If you require any further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service department, and they will be more than happy to help.

      Once again, please accept our apologies for the mix-up and the delay in delivering your order. We hope that you will give us the opportunity to make it up to you in the future.

      Thank you for your understanding.

      Sincerely,

      I placed an order for a dog bed on Feb 12th, 2023 (10 days ago) and after reluctantly spending $90 on the product which should have been processed within 48 hours and delivered within 2-4 days according to their website, my order has still not yet been shipped let alone processed any further than order placed. I have sent 4 emails now regarding this and asking for an update and have not heard anything back. I would just like to have my dog bed that I paid and was so excited for. Order #****** for reference.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      This is the only response I have gotten and I believe it was only because I made this complaint. I have yet to hear back from them after responding to their email and asking when the item will be back in stock and if I can exchange for the larger bed. By far worst customer service I have ever encountered, seems like a scam business to me that should be shut down immediately.

      I purchased two (2) PupRug orthopedic dog beds in November of 2022 - Order Number #******. According to the website, the cover to the actual bed is "waterproof". My dog had an accident the other day and it soaked all the way through. Also, one of the memory foam pads has already flattened on one end. They're "guaranteed not to flatten for 10 years". It flattened in less than 3 months. I have called and left messages with Paw.com and sent numerous emails over the last few weeks. I have received no response whatsoever. The Giant bed is the one that IS NOT waterproof and the Large/Extra Large is the one that has flattened.

      On 12/11/2022, I ordered a Junior Animal Print Memory Foam Dog Bed in the color Polar Bear Faux Hide (Order ******). After purchasing I realized it said no return eligible because I bought it at sale price. A few days later when I unboxed the dog bed, I found it to have major creases/indentations in the memory foam from where it was rolled up to be packaged. Also, the bed cover did not fit the bed insert, there was about 2 inches of extra fabric on both ends where the foam did not fill out the cover completely. I waited the recommended amount of time for the bed to fully decompress from packaging. After it did not decompress, and still had multiple large creases in the foam that were visible I contacted their customer service multiple times about receiving a defective bed. I tried to call their toll free number listed and wasnt able to get through. So I emailed the address listed on their website for support multiple times. My first email was on 12/30/2022, I then emailed again on 01/06/2022. I emailed back in response to an automated message saying my service ticket was closed. I also left a review. I did not hear any response back which is very frustrating considering I received a faulty bed. Finally, two months later, on 2/16 I received an email back about the bed and asked for pictures. I have since not received a response to my response. I understand it may take time to receive a response but it has been nearly two months since the first time I reached out about receiving a defective product. Overall it has been terrible customer service and at this point I have no interest in the bed considering everything I have went through trying to get ahold of this company to receive what I purchased. As of today 2/19/23, it has been more than two months since I received and unpackaged the bed and it still has those same very large creases in the foam and doesnt fill out the cover, which is far longer than their recommended 1-2 days to fully decompress.

      I ordered a dog blanket on November the 7th 2022. I have never rec'd the item. I emailed them twice and got no response. I also DM through instagram and got nothing. I am very upset as this cost quite a $135 and not able to get a refund or anything, as they have never responded. Sounds like many people have had the same thing happen. This is not a reputable company at all. Bunch of scammers.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
