      The product ordered was a "limited supply" offer, unfortunately, the order was accepted and the credit card payment was processed just the last unit was removed from inventory. A refund was processed immediately. Connection explored other product options for the customer, but none were acceptable. Ultimately, Connection was able to secure another unit of the product and the transaction was completed.

      Complaint: 21444333

      I do not accept the business response as a resolution to my complaint because of their dishonest business practices. The camera license was never delivered to me. Hence, the reason why I kept notifying you via phone and email that I did not receive the camera license. Again, I never received a license from you before or after you "sent" an invoice to "the manufacturer."

      In addition, the total amount that needs to be refunded is $99.41, which includes tax. Please see the attached invoice receipt I received after purchasing the license through your website **************************.


      Sincerely,

      *****************

      March 16, 2024, I still have not received the license after they charged my card illegally.I am requesting a refund for the illegal charge. I no longer need a license from ************************** (a.k.a PC Connection).

      Connection appreciates the customer bringing this problem to our attention. There was miscommunication between Connection and the manufacturer of product purchased (i.e., license keys) related to whether the licenses had been provided to the customer. Based on communication from the manufacturer, Connection believed the license keys had been delivered to the customer, so ********************** proceeded with invoicing. After the invoice was sent, the licenses were delivered to the customer, but the order was cancelled by the customer that same day.

      ********************** has already initiated a return request through the manufacturer. The total value of the return is $98.43. Connection can process a credit if needed, however, we are trying to avoid more confusion for the customer by potentially issuing two credits.

      Connection apologizes for the confusion and any inconvenience.

      I do not accept the business's response as a resolution to my complaint because there was no confusion with this matter. Your company needs to own up for their dishonest behavior. Think about it. I requested to cancel my order for the camera license due to your business not fulfilling my order. Then two days later, your company charged my credit card for $99.41 without providing the license!

      Due to your dishonest business practices, I had no choice but to contact the Better Business Bureau for help with this matter.

      Sincerely,

      *****************

      Connection has approved a chargeback to the customer's credit card and received a confirmation. The total chargeback was $99.41 ($98.43 for the license + $.98 for tax).

      ********************** apologizes for the confusion and any inconvenience.

      ********** ********



      I do not accept the business's response as a resolution to my complaint because:  Refund for the order has not been received and connection is refusing to refund my fees for the wire transfer. At no point did they ask if I was a reseller (they are reselling this stuff too? like really? they aren't the manufacturer). I would happily have answered any questions. This error was due to their negligence in this order process, not mine. 

      Until I am refunded in full this complaint will not be considered closed. 




      Sincerely,



      ******* ******

      Connection did receive *** ******'s order and requested he pay via wire transfer because there was a hold on his credit card. Subsequently, we learned *** ****** is a reseller. Connection does not sell to resellers. As a result, we denied the order. We have been waiting to receive the wire transfer so we could refund his payment.  We just confirmed receiving the payment on September 6, so we are now processing a refund via check.

      Business Response

      Date: 09/13/2023

      Connection Credit and Collections team is issuing a refund check including the wire transfer fee. The check will be mailed by Monday, September 18. Once the check is received, we hope the matter will be considered resolved.

      Best regards,

      Sincerely,



      ******* ****** too many emails and he does not want to see **** get in trouble. I do not want anyone to get in trouble. Contacting **** was so difficult. They have poor customer service and they want to avoid paying any claims. I just need help from your executive office in receiving what ever amount is rightfully owed to me. I am sorry if I was viewed as a trouble maker. I will not be shopping here anymore.
      Kind Regards,
      ******* ******

      A refund in the amount of $100 has been issued to the ********* account used for the purchase of the service plan.  This coincides with the amount refunded by **** for this incident.  

      The reference number for this refund is 3007******

      Thank you.
