  It came the time to pick out cabinet hardware in August for our new const. home. There are a lot of knobs/pulls in our home with 94 being in the kitchen/pantry alone. I did receive my kitchen hardware in September, order was placed August 28th. December 10th they have started installing the cabinet hardware. During this process it was discovered that 18 of the 94 k**** will not work in the kitchen/pantry area and that I needed to order the same style but a different style from MyKnobs. Im trying to exchange the 18 knobs/pulls for the correct size. MyKnobs is refusing to do this since it has been over 30 day return policy. They are causing me to be out of pocket $318.86 for the knobs/pulls that I need to exchange for a ************** Collection pull, ************************************************************************************** $309.42. When you build a new construction home, it is a process of ordering ahead and having every item selection ready when it needs to be installed. It is a lot of decisions to made throughout the whole process. Fortunately to date there has only been 2 other returns made and Pottery Barn did make an exception to their return policy for me because I am a valued customer and they were understanding of building a new construction home and the processes people have to go through. In the last 3 months for our new construction home we have spent $4,312.11 on hardware purchased from MyKnobs.com. It will cost me another $309.42 to order the correct 18 k**** that I need and have to lose $318.86 because they will not take back the 18 k**** that are the wrong size. MyKnobs.com is refusing to refund/exchange the items. They are also trying to place the blame on the manufacture Top K**** in which I contacted this morning by saying they would not take them back and they informed me that it was up to the dealer of MyKnobs.com as to whether they would take them back. It is extremely disappointing that MyKnobs.com treats customers like this.

  Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We regret to hear that you were not satisfied with your complete purchase from August. We received your return request five months later, in December,but unfortunately, it was declined by the manufacturer due to the extended period the cabinet hardware was in your possession.  Our return policy requires notification within 30 days of receipt of the product. This policy ensures that our inventory remains current and that items come from the same dye lots. Since our stock is continuously rotating and being restocked, maintaining this time frame helps manage the variations in finishes. We would like to offer you free shipping and a 10% discount on a subsequent order to compensate you and keep you as a future customer. Once again, we appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

  I placed an order expedited for Emtek Doorknobs on 5/28/24. Order #MYK-2987165. I should have received them 2-day expedited **** The k**** were never delivered. I called daily to get a status and was told after 8 days, the k**** were sent back to the manufacturer and they would be re-routed to a ********** near my home so I could pick them up. After waiting an additional 5 days, I was told when I called that my order had been cancelled. No one advised me in writing, nor did I get a phone call about the whereabouts of my order. I did not receive a refund and ************** the Supervisor, was not available to provide an explanation as to what occurred.

  I purchased a door handle set on 4/25/24. After consulting with my interior designer and my contractor who in addition to me read the description of the product I ordered a Westlock set. The description says it is "a dummy handle with a single cylinder deadbolt. Interior rectangle- shaped escutcheon single cylinder deadbolt.." The product description say it has a locking mechanism, however the product I received did not have any locking functionality. I called the company several times to discuss options as an incorrect product was sent. They are allowing me to send back the product and get a refund, however, they are requiring me to pay shipping and only send via certain carriers (who cost more money). I do not agree that I should have to pay for shipping as the company's description of the product was inaccurate and did not match the product I received. When I attempted to contact the company and speak to a supervisor, they hung up on me, failed to call back, left a voicemail with no name or call back, and finally gave the response that they wouldn't make enough money if they paid for the shipping for their mistake. This company was horrible from a customer service standpoint and self admitted they would lose money to fix their mistake and instead pass that cost to the consumer. I believe this company should pay the return shipping on a product that was inaccurately described and shipped, especially if they require it to be sent a specific way. This should not be the consumers expense for their wrongdoing.

  Please note that "dummy" door k**** are non-working handle sets designed for double doors and do not include a mechanical latch mechanism, as clearly stated on our website. It is expected that your designer and contractor would have been familiar with the various door hardware functions before advising you on your order. Unfortunately, it appears that you were guided incorrectly. We have accepted your return and issued a full refund as a one-time courtesy. If you wish to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to contact us.

  On 1/25/24 I spent $1093.02 on cabinet hardware for my kitchen from MyKnobs. 7 of the 6 inch pulls werent going to work, so I submitted approval to return them. MyKnobs told me to send them back directly to Top Knobs, which I had to pay to ship back myself, which is crazy enough. Top K**** received the items on 2/7/24 by ***. I reach out to MyKnobs on 2/22/24 because I still hadnt received a refund. They say it should be the next day. The next day I receive a refund for $16.83. Which is $100.98 cents short of what I should have received. I reached back out to MyKnobs and they tell me that Top K**** said I only returned 1 ****, which clearly isnt true. Im pretty sure I wouldnt have spent $20 in shipping to get a refund of $16.83. *** reached out twice to My knobs, and they were radio silent. Seeing other complaints on here about withholding refunds, should be a red flag to everyone to not buy from here. MyKnobs and Top K**** stole from me.

  Placed order on 1/31/23 and received confirmation of both the order and payment. The following day, we received an email stating that we had cancelled the order. Upon receiving the order cancellation email, we contacted customer service, and they told us the order was cancelled due to pricing cliche in system. We were offered no apology, and they would not provide any further explanation or solution. Upon requesting to talk with a supervisor we were told that no one would take our call. We are a contractor and have purchased from this site on multiple occasion - we are very disappointed in the customer service.

  On November 17, 2023, I ordered 6 Bail Pull Horizongal 3" Matte Black drawer pulls. I had not received the order. I called on 12/11/23 to inquire as to where the order was because the emailed tracking number was showing that there was a problem with the packaging and nothing was in it. So *** was going to contact the sender. I gave ******* customer service this information. They were going to initiate a refund, and I've been trying to get that refund ever since. I have called multiple times, and keep getting told that they need to research or ask someone else due to something that was put in the file history; or some other reason that they need to contact me back. No one telling me that "your refund is being processed and sent". I called on 12/14/23, -01/03/24, 01/05/24 and last on 1/6/24 and the person says they'll either call or email me back with answers and never does. I gave them one last chance on Monday via chat, and was told and I quote " that they got confirmation from *** that the claim was resolved, and we are in contact with the manufacturer to issue your refund. Once we have that confirmation we will be back in contact via email, and chargers will be issued back to the original form of payment. Please allow us 2 - 3 business days for Liberty to confirm and issue the return credit. Well it's the end of the week, Friday, and still no email and no indication that the refund has been issued.

You have the tracking number - call the US ************ Its not lost and you are certainly not doing me a favor. It is a confusing concept.

  I received an order from myknobs.com and notified them that i needed to process a return on order ***********. Their email back was just to "call" and now they won't process the return because they say too much time has passed. I followed their instructions and notified them within the time period that their website instructs. Also, I placed a replacement order from them for an even larger amount, and they are just keeping my money on the original order.

  On March 9th 2023 I ordered an Estate ******* Lockset from myknobs.com. The order number is MYK-*******. According to myknobs information online, the Ballwin product should have been in stock. It took almost nine weeks to arrive.Myknobs shipped an incorrect product. I ordered a mortise lock set and that is not what shipped. I requested a return and the return was immediately granted.The shippment was two items in two boxes. It included a lockset (left door) and a "dummy lockset" (right door). The home has a pair of matching front doors.******* issued credit for the left handed lock set and returned the right handed ("dummy set") stating that it was damaged. I unpacked the item that was returned to me. It was not damged. It was dirty. As the photo showes it was simply dirty. I wiped the lockset off with a paper towel and water. The included photo confirms no damage and has a dirty paper towel which I cleaned the lockset with.I have repeately attempted to return the undamaged lockset. The return requested was denied four times. The credit would be about $600 and I am happy to rerurn the lockset.

  I recently bought hardware for our single front door. Upon receiving the hardware, it was determined immediately that the wrong item was purchased (a dummy lock). The item was never installed and returned in the original packaging. I received authorization to return the item. Spent over $60 to have it shipped back. They kept the hardware for over a week at a warehouse (I had to inquire about the status). Upon my inquiry, they decided that somehow the hardware was damaged sending grainy photos as their evidence. There is no way of knowing if and when the damage occurred (like maybe when it spent a full week at a warehouse) but their business practices is to defer immediate blame onto the customer. There was care given to ensure that the items were returned as safely as possible. Again, it was never installed, once the order mistake was discovered. I have never had this happen before with a business and feel like I have been taken advantage of. After reviewing similar complaints at the BBB, it is clear that this is a practice they engage in especially around returns. Despite efforts to work through this complaint with this business, they have made no effort to address this. I hope by filing this compliant (adding to the many others), that this company can be held accountable for their fraudulent business practices.

  Please recognize you order was shipped to you in pristine condition on June 6, 2023, you later contacted us  to return the hardware purchased on June 13,2023 7 days after the date of receipt, the merchandise was not returned to the warehouse for 21 days later on June 27, 2023. The return was approved and clear guidelines were emailed that opened or damaged merchandise will not warrant credit. The return merchandise was inspected and deemed not in re-sellable condition, at which time the damaged merchandise was shipped back to you at our expense.  To state that the merchandise was intentionally damaged by us and that we are running a fraudulent business is defamation of our company.    Your statement to a third party in negligent and reckless to slander our companies reputation.We have been selling online for almost 25 years, serving thousands of customers daily with no issues and have extremely positive reviews.
