  I would like to file a complaint about Pigeonly which is an online inmate communication service. I decided since I would writing quite often that this would be a great option however, I quickly learned that what they are promising is not true at all. First, they say the first letter is free but they immediately charged me. I sent my letter on 4/21/25 I sent the first letter, I tried to send another letter on 4/22/25 and it would not go through. I got a message that popped up "Hold Up!Please wait until your last order is delivered before placing a new order. If you would like to check the status of an existing order please visit the order history page." They advertise UNLIMITED, it does not say you have to wait until they decide to deliver the first one. It UNLIMITED and does not say anything about limits or restrictions. I sent an email on 4/24/25 to let them know my concerns because I need the unlimited that they promised. I received this response on 4/25/25 Hello **** *****,Thank you for reaching out.I apologize for the inconvenience and confusion. The way it works, is we have to deliver the previous letter that you sent before you can send again.However, you can always give us a call or send as an email if you want to send more so we can refresh it.Moving forward, you can send more again after getting this email.Thank you and keep safe!****** #****** Customer Support Phone: ************* This is 100% unacceptable because that is not the terms I agrees to. In addition when I received the email she stated I could now send the email but it still will not go through and the first one has not been delivered. Directly from their website. "One price, unlimited everything Try one, or use them all. With Pigeonly you can use all our services for one low rate. No long term contracts or commitments required." "Love Without Limits Everyone loves unlimited, which is why you can use any Pigeonly service as little or as much as you like."

  Dear **** *****,

  I am rejecting this response because:

  again, you are advertising for $5.00 a month unlimited. It does not say you can send a letter but you have to wait until it is delivered before sending anything else. The time it took with my first letter was well over 1 week. So realistically you cannot send more 3 letters a month, unless you know the exceptions but that information is not on your website.  I am not trying to be a pain but do what you are advertising or change the wording so that people are aware that they to 1. call pigeonly if they want to send another letter. I had no clue that there are exceptions to what you consider "Unlimited" . When I called I could not get through, its a hassle. I can only speak for myself but I am pretty sure that a lot of people feel the same especially with over 200 complaints. 

  
  Sincerely,

  Dear **** *****,

  Thank you for bringing your concern to our attention. We sincerely regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this may have caused.

  Regarding the hold on sending additional letters: some facilities limit how much mail an inmate can receive per day. To comply with these rules, our system temporarily pauses new submissions until the previous item has been processed and delivered.

  Also, for your reference:

  1. The letter submitted on April 21, 2025 was delivered on April 26, 2025.
  2. Your most recent letter from April 27, 2025 is scheduled for delivery on May 1, 2025.
  

  We truly value your feedback, and I want to assure you that it has been heard and taken very seriously. While we adhere to established procedures to maintain consistency and quality across our services, we fully understand and acknowledge your concern. I have escalated your feedback and suggestions to the appropriate department for further review and consideration. We are constantly striving to enhance our processes, and your input is invaluable in helping us do so.
  

  Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding. If you have further questions or need assistance, please dont hesitate to reach out to our support team at **************, available Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 4 PM Pacific Time. Email: ****************************** (respond within 24 business hours)

  I am rejecting this response because:

  There is absolutely no resolve from your end. Claiming to provide this service and saying that it is UNLIMITED is definitely false advertising. The reasoning does not make any sense. All I am asking for is honesty. If there are exceptions it should be included on the website. 

  1. According to the jail and restrictions on how much mail an inmate can receive, and according to their website

  "Volume restrictions: While there is no limit on the volume of mail an inmate may receive, there are some restrictions on what can be sent, according to a guide from the **************. " 

  2. Expecting your customers to call or email to get a letter pushed through might be ok if we are aware of the rules 

  3. In all honesty this a great way to communicate. At the minimum I hope that you take all of this into consideration. If you advertise correctly I can assure you that the amount of complaints will drastically decline

  Dear **** *****,

  Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We sincerely regret that your experience with Pigeonly did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond.

  We understand your frustration regarding the interpretation of our "unlimited" service. While our subscription offers unlimited access to send letters, photos, and other content, certain limitations may occur due to processing procedures or restrictions imposed by correctional facilities. These restrictions may vary by location and can result in temporary holds, even when not explicitly stated on facility websites.
  We acknowledge your concern about the clarity of our service terms and understand that having to contact support to continue sending messages can feel inconvenient. Your feedback is both valid and valuable. As a result, we are currently reviewing our service descriptions to ensure they more clearly reflect these conditions, which will help manage expectations and reduce confusion going forward.
  We're pleased to hear that you find our service a meaningful way to stay connected with your loved one, and we hope to continue improving so that all of our users have a smoother, more transparent experience.
  
  If you would like to speak with our team directly, please contact us at **************, Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM Pacific Time. You may also email us or provide your registered email address for further assistance.

  I actually had a complaint that was open and my understanding after speaking to ****** at pigeonly was that she was handling the complaint. (I am also including the screenshots of the communication that I had with them via email) I signed up with pigeonly so that I would be able to write to a family member. The problem is, is that I wrote letters through their service and instead of delivering them to the facility they delivered them all to me and he has never received a single letter. I will also be attaching a screenshot of all the mail that came back to me. ****** promise me that I should go back on the website and send another letter. I did try that and again the letter was delivered to me and not the person it was supposed to go to. In early May I told ****** to not charge my credit card anymore and that I am not interested in their services since they could not handle sending the letters. I could have just written him myself and use the stamp. I am requesting a full refund from the time I started through this month because this month I was charged again. I do not want any more promises or anything like that. I am completely done with this service and I notified you in writing that I was not happy with the service after making several attempts to work with an employee to get it straightened out, and the promises were not kept. I want a full refund on all of the charges considering the fact that you weren't able to deliver even one piece of mail that I sent. There have been five charges starting in March and the last one was billed for July. Again I am telling this company do not charge me anymore

  Dear **** *****, 
  
  Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.  
  
  We understand your frustration and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced. 
  
  After a thorough review of your account and communication history, wed like to clarify the following: 
  
  Facility Address Entry:

  Based on our records, the issue originated because the wrong facility was entered during the signup process. The address provided did not match the correct one for your intended recipient at *************************** of Corrections, ***************************************. As a result, the mail was printed and sent to the incorrect location and was then returned to your mailing address. 
  
  Support Efforts:

  Our team, including ******, made several efforts to assist you by advising a resubmission using the correct facility. While our goal was to help resolve the issue, we understand that the repeated misdeliveries caused continued frustration. 
  
  Refund and Cancellation:

  Please note that no payment was made for the month of May, as a free month was applied to your account. The last charge was on June 21, and your subscription originally started on April 21, 2025.
  
  As a courtesy, I have gone ahead and refunded both paymentsApril 21 and June 21. Your subscription has now been fully canceled, and there will be no further billing.Your refund is being processed and should appear on your original payment method within 514 business days. Your account has been closed.   
  
  Sincerely, 

  
  **** ******

  I am rejecting this response because: what you're saying is not true. First I will start with only one person contacted me not a team. ****** asked me to send her copies of the envelopes front and back and I did that more than once. No one ever told me that I entered the information incorrectly. I have every single email here and I'd be more than happy to upload them all and what you're saying is completely untrue. I will definitely be in contact with my bank because you charged me more than twice. I did not just pull an address out of a had to send it to him. I put the information in for him and that is the address that came up. I have spoke to several people on the ************** for pigeonly complaints and this seems to be a common complaint coming from group members. Please send me supporting documents of where I was told that I put in the wrong address. Not once did she mention anything about a wrong address she encouraged me to keep writing

  Dear **** *****,

  Thank you for your follow-up. We truly regret the frustration you've experienced, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation further.

  
  We want to respectfully address a few key points:

  Address Selection During Registration:

  When signing up for our services, customers are prompted to search for and select the inmate and facility themselves. The system then auto-fills the facility address based on the selection made by the user. This ensures that the correct information is used as provided by the customer during registration. We do not manually enter this information on behalf of users.
  

  Communication & Support:

  Our records confirm that our representative, ******, was in direct contact with you and requested front and back images of the returned mail, which you kindly provided. We sincerely apologize if our response felt limited to just one team member, but rest assured, your concern was reviewed internally by our support staff.
  

  Incorrect Facility & Returned Mail:

  While we understand that you followed the process to the best of your ability, our system shows that the mail was sent to a facility that does not currently accept third-party mailings like Pigeonlys. This would explain why the letters were returned. We're not implying that you entered the address manually; rather, the issue stemmed from the selection made at the time of signup.

  Refund & Billing:

  After further review, your account was charged on April 21 and **** 21. May was a free month added to your account. As a courtesy, both April and **** charges have already been fully refunded, and your subscription has been canceled to prevent further billing. These refunds should reflect in your account within 514 business days. Please note that there are no duplicate charges in our system beyond these dates.

  We completely understand your disappointment, and we take your feedback seriously. We're also actively reviewing any concerns shared through outside channels, including social media, as part of our continuous service improvement.
  Thank you again for your time.

  I first wanted to use Pigeon Send around April of this year. I decided against using their service as it was not convenient for me and my inmate friend had been moved. I repeatedly try to call them,no one ever answered. There is no Email address. They charged my account $5 a month which isn't alot,but it's the principal of this situation. It should not be that hard to cancel.

  My apologies for the inconvenience you have experienced with our customer service line. I see you have spoken to our customer service, and regarding the emails, I apologize that you did not receive any replies, but because all your emails were from the same day as the call, January 17th and January 18th, the representative who assisted you over the phone combined them with your call conversation, being that the subject of the conversation was the same.
  
  Regarding your loved one receiving the mail late, I can definitely look into that for you. If you can please email us at ****************************** with title "BBB complaint ID ********" and include your inmate's name and the name of the sender. I did try to follow up on your order with the details already provided, but I was not able to locate the photos you mentioned.

  Just as many others complaints with this bogus company, I have been fighting for my ***** back that they stole from my personal banking account using my debit card number WITHOUT my consent. They keep promising me my money back for their mistake but its been over a year and they still are saying the same promises . First they said they issued refund, they did not. Then they said they would mail me a check, they did not. Then said they would send it thru Zelle, they did not. They then told me they would send it to my cash app and got my info and they didnt send it. Then they said they were issuing the refund which they did not, just giving me lies after lies to try and shut me up but I will never stop asking for MY MONEY THEY STOLE FROM ME!! Help me get my $40 back please I JUST WANT MY MONEY BACK THAT THEY TOOK WITHOUT MY CONSENT. They STOLE MY MONEY OFF MY CARD FOR NO REASON AND IF I DID THAT TO SOMEONE I WPULD GO TO JAIL SO WHY?and HOW are they allowed to steal money from cards and nothing happen to them?? Its simple fix but all I get is excuses and lies promises they will give my money back but have not yet and this has been going on with hundred emails back and forth since I can show for proof

  Because they havent even tried giving my money back that they took. Ill be happy when I receive money. But they always say they will mail it and never do. Why not mail it and send the tracking number to verify its sent they have just told me to wait while they track my refund but then havent heard back and they havent tried to do what they should have done immediately once their mistake was made. Until they give me my money back I do not want my case to close and be forgotten.They act like Im asking for their money out of their pocket when the reality is I JUST WANT MY MONEY THEY TOOK WITHOUT CONSENT OR WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. very easy to correct their mistake yet here we are.i told them from the beginning I will not give up on getting my money back even though I know they never will because they cant even be honest. Its passed the point of ridiculous at this point. Why not just refund it back to my card?? Should not be this hard.

  I was charged $25.00 on August 7, 2023. I requested a full refund as I never approved this withdrawal. I never signed up for this service. I was told that I was given a credit. When I notified them that I have no use for a credit, nor for their services, they said that they could send me a paper check. When I was sent a "copy" of my charge to refund my funds, they said it was refused. I said the only way it would be refused was if the did not really send it to my account, or they did not have the funds in their account, they sent me the info that they gave me a credit. I have notified them that I will be filing a police report for fraud and theft. They also notified me to file a dispute on my card. In doing so, I would have to put my account on hold, and request a whole new bank card. This "business" is owned by a previously incarcerated individual. Are we being scammed by a convict?

  This company did not return my money! As of today I did not request this companies services. Money was stolen from my bank account without my permission. I was offered a "credit" instead of a refund for the money stole from me!
