      Complaint Type:

      Status:
      Unanswered
      Purchased a SilverKing sundae bar fountainette for my business on 4/15/2022 and paid in full at time of purchase. On 4/25/2022 I received an email informing me that Cooks Direct had cancelled my order due to a pricing error on their web site. When I complained in an email answering, I received an email in response reiterating that their terms and conditions state they may cancel any order due to price increases or changes. When I visited their site that night they still had the item listed for the price I paid but if you placed it in your cart the price jumped from $2,919.76 to $4,215.20. I have screenshots showing this. This is deceptive on the face of it and they use the terms and conditions to justify holding my payment for ten days before informing me of an error on their part and cancellation of my order.

      I ordered a flour bin from this Cook's Direct and a day after my credit card was charged for the purchase they called me and said they could not ship the ordered product at the price that was quoted on the website ($20). They asked if I wanted to pay 9 times ($180) the quote for shipping and handling and I said no thank you, they said my credit card would be made whole within a few days.Well The next day I went back on their web site and the flour bin now had a shipping and handling cost that was 3 times the original ($60) which seemed ok as their price for the flour bin was that much cheaper than other outfits on line.There reason I am writing is 2 weeks later my credit card still has not been reimbursed for the original purchase and the 3 times I have called to make sure my second purchase was in good standing and to inquire about the original reimbursement I was given the run around, was flat out hung up on and my calls went directly the voice mail. I have left 3 messages with Cook's Direct over the course of 2 weeks never receiving a call back. I understand things are more difficult these days but a simple call back or in the least not hanging up on me would give me more confidence Cook's Direct is a company that can be trusted.
