  I ordered a weed trimmer in September, 2023. The amount of $128.84 was deducted from my checking account on 9/21/2023. I placed a call to them on 9/27/2023 at 3:02 p.m. to find out why I did not receive the item pictured on the website. The item I received did not have the advance feed button on it. It was explained to me that the item I ordered had the wrong Item number for the item that I wanted. They told me that I should return the item via Fed Ex and then contact them when the item reached the destination in **************. I was not able to get to a Fed Ex drop-off site until 10/04/2023. I called them on 10/09/2023 to let them know that the trimmer had been delivered to them in **************. I was told the new trimmer would be sent out and that I would have to pay for that trimmer or I could wait until I received the refund for the returned trimmer. They told me that I would receive the refund in 24 to 48 hours. Believing them, I placed the order for the new trimmer. 48 hours came and went. I called them on 10/12/2023, 10/19,2023 and 10/23/2023. I was told that they were unable to complete the refund electronically and would be sending out a check. They said it would take about 4 weeks to receive the check. On November 17, 2023, I called to find out what was going on. The woman that answered the phone told me that the check was being processed and needed to be signed by hand. I am still waiting for the check. During this whole time, I never received an email or a phone call to let me know what was going on.

  Regarding the requested refund for order #*********. We were unable to process a refund back to ************************ **** on file. A refund check for $128.84 was requested to be mailed so that it would arrive on or around 11/31/2023. ******************** should receive her refund check within the next few days.

  I am rejecting this response because: I have been waiting for two months total for my refund. I contacted them several times and was repeatedly told my refund was coming. I still have not received my refund. I do not believe what they say.

  I apologize that you have not yet received your refund check. I will contact our accounts payable department for more information about the check. In the meantime, could you verify your mailing address?

  Customer Answer

  I am rejecting this response because: I find it incredible that they do not have my mailing address since I have received the shipments of my purchases from them. None the less, here is my address: ************************************************************************************
  
  

  Business Response

  Thank you for verifying your address again. That is the address for which I requested the check. I have not yet received a reply to either of my requests for information about the check we sent. As a consequence, I will request that another check be cut and mailed ASAP.

  I have used Worx power tools for years, and recently I am perplexed. My 16 in model chain saw the tension k*** froze in place. I ended up being told that it was not repairable. I ordered over the phone from Worx the WG304.1 18 in model which I now have. Here is my simple problem. When I went to register online with the warranty, I entered the information, and then I was directed or asked on the website to sign up for an online account, which I then created a password. The user ID is your email address. That directed me to an email link that Worx sent to confirm it was me registering. I clicked on that email link, and now I cannot get in. I was told by someone in IT ******************* ************ today via email that my account was not locked, simply go back in to reset my password. I do that, and it sends another message that an email link will be sent, but that has not happened. In addition, I spoke to someone yesterday and went over the issue with my 16 in worx chain saw, supposedly unrepairable, but when I explained to him my problem, he said likely all I needed to do was replace that tension know ($30 part) and no need for a new one. I am asking for someone, from this company to call me and help me get my online account going and also if my 16 in worx chain saw is truly repairable. If so, where can I send for that repair. Lastly this *******************, I emailed for him to call me, I tried to leave him a voice mail and his message box is full. This problem would be resolved, in my opinion if he would take the time to call me. I see this all the time. An employee not willing to contact a customer. I guess it is not their job.

  Know that this is not what we expect from our products or services. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. I tried calling so I could discuss the issue with ************** but had to leave a voice message. I would be more than happy to place an order for the Chain Housing Assembly (********) used in his WG303.1. I am able to view the registration for ****************** WG304.1 so it is registered. It is not appearing in his account information because the order was placed here by one of our agents. For an order to appear in the customer's account, the order must be placed by the customer on our website while signed into his account. ************** called and we discussed his issues.

  I ordered parts to a saw I bought a while ago. The man told me I had to buy the whole set-up which I did. I received the parts but not the ones I was expecting to get. Order number ********* I have tried unsuccessfully to call about this problem and have been on hold for about an hour. I spent $36.82 on the parts and don't have the ones I needed. It seems there is no way to be able to talk to anyone. I am not happy with this situation and was wondering if you could help me with it.

  Business Response

  Date: 07/20/2023

  It is unfortunate that ************************ received the incorrect parts. We would be happy to help. I have issued a refund for $36.82 back to **************************** **** ending in ****. He should see this credit on his statement within 3-5 business days.

  They sent me a lawn mower to try and I would be paid for my time. They sent a unit without any instructions and it also didnt work. I spent quite a bit of time and frustration trying to set this up and eventually sent it back. They are refusing to do pay me for my time. I want the $50 Ive earned.

  The company, My-Take, offering the incentive for testing the Vision, was aware that there were requirements which we needed to be fulfilled in order to receive the incentive My-Take offered. At least two of the requirements included the registration of the tool and connecting the Vision via WiFi. Registration of the tool needs to be done before the Vision can be connected using WiFi. ****************** had two user guides emailed to her and we would have been happy to help with any issues she encountered if she had contacted us for help. We are unable to verify that she completed the test requirements because she did not register or connect the Vision to WiFi and also did not contact us about anything beyond asking for the user guide which was emailed twice. ****************** has been informed that she needs to contact My-Take at ************************ about any payment since they were the company offering the incentive.

  *******************, please be advised that after further review we are unable to substantiate your claim.  If you can provide proof of registration, we can proceed with validation to our vendor partner that you have completed the requirements of the product testing period. If no proof can be provided and attached to this BBB complaint, we will consider this matter closed.

  I am rejecting this response because: we couldnt register it because it didnt work and the instruction manual you emailed was for the wrong model.  Its just $50! Youre acting like its millions! How sad is your company that you dont feel time is worth anything and I spent a lot of time working on that mower because I desperately need that money for food and medication  why are you being so heartless?

  I located ****************** order RWD-********* and found that he has been in contact with one of our agents. ************** ordered the WG385.9 tool only which does not include any batteries or charger. A prepaid label was sent so ************** can return the WG385.9 for a refund.

  yesterday 10-10-2022 i called Worx to look at a leaf jet leaf blower and attachment. We talked but I in no way placed this order, only talked about it. I called today when I realized I was charged anyway. Customer service told me today it was a preauthorization, Nobody told me about this. Now they want to call my bank to see if they can take it off. Says it will come off in ***** hrs. The amount should never have shown up as any kind of charge as I never placed the order.

  Business Response

  Date: 10/18/2022

  I completely agree with this person that the money should be returned immediately.  That said, this complaint is not about my company.  We are 2 gyms in central ********** and this person is complaining about the tool manufacturing company.  Please remove this complaint from our account and direct it to  the right company.  

  Business Response

  Date: 10/20/2022

  I am happy to respond to this customer. Order ************* was cancelled on 10/10/2022 without an actual charge being placed. We did have a pre-authorization which just means we contacted the customer's credit card issuer to let them know we would be placing a charge on this credit card for $264.91. The customer's credit card issuer then sequestered that amount so it would be available once we sent the charge to them. Since this order was cancelled before we sent the charge to the credit card company, the pre-authorization normally drops off the credit card statement within 3-5 business days (depending on the card issuer). Before replying, I checked with our billing department to verify any information about the pre-authorization. I was informed that the pre-authorization had expired so should no longer be on the customer's credit card statement. We have never accepted any monies from this customer for this order so we cannot refund what we never received. I recommend that the customer contact their credit card issuer if the pre-authorization is still on their statement.

  We did not charge **************** for the order so did not receive any money from **************** and are unable to refund something we never received. If the pre-authorization is still showing on ****************' statement, I can only guess that she used a debit card rather than a normal credit card. Debit cards are a bit different than normal credit cards since they draw directly from a checking account rather than a credit line. With a debit card, when a bank sequesters a pre-authorization amount, it looks exactly like a charge on the customer's statement but it is not a charge. The bank has just marked the amount on hold for the actual charge. On normal credit cards, a pre-authorization just drops from the statement within 3-5 business days. Occasionally, with debit cards, banks may be slow to recognize that a charge is not following the pre-authorization so they do not make the amount on hold available to the customer again. Everything we can do from our end has been done. ****************' money is still at her bank. **************** will need to go to her bank so she can request that they make the amount of the pre-authorization available to her again.
