    CLYNK consistently undercounts the items in the returned bags. **************** is good to start but as you contact them about issues they stop communicating. I keep a careful tally of items returned and so far I have been cheated out of $4.30. Numerous questions regarding what was not counted go unanswered. When someone did tell me 3 items that werent acceptable because they were not sold in Ct I informed them to ****** the items to prove that they were indeed sold in Ct. I have waited over 3 weeks for them to fix my account balance. The state attorney general will be getting a complaint from me. You can see why this multi million dollar company is afraid of belonging to the BBB!

    Just checked my Clynk account. They reimbursed me for 62 containers when the bag had 180 cans that I confirmed had a NY stamp on them. Every time they scam me. I am done with them!

    The customer has to purchase the cheap quality bags from that almost always rip even when not filled to capacity! We started using our own tear proof bags and Clink stopped giving us credit for the contents! Clink say they only make money when they redeem your bottles from their vendors but I think they're in the bag business. Too bad Hannaford stores are affiliated with Clink....kind of makes you feel you can't trust the store!

    ******, Thank you for your feedback. All bags are purchased and sold by Hannaford Supermarkets. CLYNK does not gain anything financially with regards to bags sales. We understand the concerns with the durability of the bag and are trying to make corrections. A new size of bag will be introduced to help minimize the weight of containers returned. We hope this will make a difference. We certainly appreciate your feedback. ****************.

    At first I thought this was a great service, but recently I dropped off 3 full bags of cans and 16.9 oz soda/beer bottles, I was credited $7.60 . I took 1 bag to a self return just to see if I was not calculating it correctly. Well the 1 bag returned $9.85, so I only got like 2.95 per bag with them, I know it is only 7 dollars but it does add up I did 3 bags so they got me for over 21 dollars. It's a convenient service, but will only use them when absolutely necessary I will be doing self returns when I can

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your bags were not processed timely so you were issued a missing bag credit of $3.95 per bag. Once the bags were processed those bags credits reverted and the proper amounts were credited to your account. Your new balance is $15.50. Below is the amount for each bag:152-1710483782 $5.40 152-1710483783 $5.00 145-1715280655 $5.10 Again, we thank you for letting us know your concerns and apologize for any confusion this may have caused. If you should have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out directly to our Customer Support Team @ **************.Thanks, CLYNK Customer Support

    Scam on the edge of crime. I have tried to use them first time in Hannaford in ******* *****. Hannaford sells farmers milk in glass bottles that are 2 dollars per bottle in deposit. I have brought around 25 bottles collected from the year and deposited all at once and expected to see around $50 balance. But got just $3.80. This is pure scam. Not sure on Hannaford or on CLUNK side but this is ridiculous.

    Hi *****,We're sorry to hear about your recent experience with CLYNK. I'm sure it's quite frustrating for you, but we're happy to help.We accept ****************** containers as a courtesy to Hannaford. In doing so, we have special guidelines when it comes to redeeming them through the CLYNK system. We ask customers to include no more than 6 ***************** containers per bag mixed with other redeemable aluminum and plastic containers. After reviewing your recent bag credit, I can see most of the containers broke in transit. When that happens, we're unable to remand the deposit from the distributor, thus, we're unable to give you your deposit.We've credited you in this instance as we understand you're a newer customer. You will now see your ********************** reflecting what you dropped.If you use our service moving forward, please understand our policy regarding *****************.Best,******

    Useful savings program, we have over $400 now in our account. Been clynking for over a decade. We hope the program continues; its a convenient way to recycle empties. I wonder if some container compression ( cans only of course) could occur at the drop off spot rather than hauling all that volume by truck to a central center but I am sure you all have considered all sorts of options. Thanks for the service.

    Hi ******,

    Thank you for the kind words. While I don't directly have a hand in our transportation/processing operations, I know that your suggestion would require us to process the containers at each site. I'll share your thoughts, though!

    Take care,

    My nonprofit organization has a CLYNK account the reason why I am given four stars is because their online account doesnt show the list where bags were drop off, what date they were drop off and the date they were counted and how much total. This feature been requested for many years from many customers and last year someone on their ******** page said its coming however the feature was never rolled out.
