However I do want to go on record stating that we did not receive the first shipping label, had we received that we would have shipped it back without using this service.

This company called me and offered free light samples. They also said a free gift (a blue cooler) would be sent out as a token of appreciation. 1 month later I received a bill for nearly $600 I tried to return the lights but was only provided a QR code that didn't work. Getting ahold of anyone is nearly IMPOSSIBLE. The invoices need to stop. Give me a proper way to send your lights back to you. Company is a SCAM.Business Response

This business called and spoke to our customer service person looking for me. They were told I was out of the office sick and didn't know anything about us buying bulbs or anything about this business as we've never purchased from them before. Today, 12 bulbs showed up at our door without any approval, authorization, and really no use because we don't have a light fixture that accepts the bulbs shipped to us. The phone and fax numbers from the packing list don't work. I emailed the business but don't know if I'll receive a response. We've offered for them to provide a return label for this fraudulent order but will need to invoice them for the disruption to our business and time spend to reach them so they fix their issue.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:Given the blatant lie, I now also require a formal apology admitting the wrong actions of your company and the "evidence" supporting the accusation that our employees aren't being truthful in this matter. It is impossible to provide excellent customer service when we were never a customer and an order is fabricated just because an unsolicited phone call is made. Looking at the BBB history and ****** reviews, CLC Bulbs has a clear history of trying to scam people. You'd make a lot more money actually selling the product instead of angering people with shady business practices.
Attached is the *** for the returned product via the label provided. Photos of the package and package being loaded on to the FedEx driver's truck by the FedEx driver can be provided if necessary. Delivered on 6/18. I'll keep any eye out for the apology of wrong doing and "evidence".

I am rejecting this response because: Commerical Lighting is seeking reimbursement from Stillwaters Colonial who was no longer in business at the time Commerical Lighting placed the phone call. I previously attached a bill of sale which is a legal document showing Stillwaters Colonial operations was transferred to a new ownership group on August 6, 2024. This legal document is proof that Stillwaters Colonal no longer was in business and did not have any employees and therefore not responsible for the invoice due. As stated previously Commerical LIghting will need to contract the new ownership group for reimbursement. Again I have attached the legal Bill of Sale, please review the document. Based on Commerical Lightings OWN ADMISSION stating they called and spoke with an employee in November of 2024 and the Bill of Sale legal document, showing the transfer of ownership occuring PRIOR to the phone call from Commerical Lighting Stillwaters Colonial is not responsible and is considering this matter resolved.
