I placed an order on 6/13/2023 for a 24 Silhouette Cameo Pro in the amount of $563.81. The item was delivered on 6/16/2023. Tracking# ************. After unboxing the item and attempting to use it, it requested an update to firmware. I followed the instructions to update the machine. The machine kept giving me an error. I would restart the machine and it requested the firmware update again. No matter what computer I used the firmware would not update which meant the machine would not work without the new firmware update. I reached out to Overstock and Focus Camera on 6/19/23 and 6/26/2023 explaining the issue I was having and asked for assistance with either a refund or exchange. I received a message back from Focus Camera **************** that they would look into it. Well fast forward to now, still having the same issue because no one would get me a resolution. I contacted Overstock customer service again on 4/11/24. Finally, after many emails to Overstock corporate office, I received an email stating that Focus Camera was a marketplace store that my item was purchased from and that I would need to contact them in order to get a resolution. I called Focus Camera on 4/12/24 and explained the issue to the customer service personnel and mentioning that the item has not worked since day one. The employee took down my information and said she wanted to talk to her supervisor to find a resolution. I called back on 4/15/24 since I never received a response, the same employee advised me that they were unable to assists because the purchase had been made 6 months prior even though on our previous call she advised me she would find a resolution. I then again explained why it was 6 months later, and she rudely told me they were not going to do anything and hung up.Business Response

I have ordered a Canon Lens from Focuscamera through ***** a very expensive item.I ended up having to return the item to the seller. I reached out and they provided me with a return label which I then used to send back the item to them. Weeks later I reached out because I never received my refund. I had to go through **** customer service to reach the seller at all. The item was received by the seller but my refund was never issued. After weeks of back and forth **** cut off the communication with me and basically awarded the seller with the item and my money. The item returned was in brand new condition, never used and not even opened. To this day I never heard back from the seller or got my money back.Business Response

Hello,
We provided a return tracking number of UPS ******************* This tracking number has no movement on this.
Did you use the return label we provided you because if you had gone to ****, they would have let us know this was returned and provided us with the tracking information. I do not see this information in our system. Please provide me with a POD that the package was returned to us, and we will be happy to look into this for you.
I look forward to your response.

I wasnt informed of correct warranty procedure and they are not in writhing. Was directed to damage my current equipment per their policy to receive a new piece of equipment. Was enforced after the damage that I was not in the warranty guidelines due to a refund being issued prior by a third party company. Would like resolve of the damage item for they stated they would replace it. Had they stated I was out of guidelines I would have not damaged the item and tried to fix it myself. Warranty policy is vague and does not state what I was told.Business Response

Hello,
Thank you for your order of the ChefWave item (Order # *******************). I am sorry to read this did not work out for you. According to your order details you have been issued a full refund by Amazon on 6/9. That concludes this transaction. We are not required to replace this unit for you under warranty. I am sorry if you are not happy with that decision.
In the several calls and emails, you stated to us that you purchased a second unit that I believe might be defective. The ** team asked you for the proof of purchase and you have not provided this to us as of yet. Let me try and help you if you purchased this on Amazon the order details will be in your Amazon account. If you do find this, please respond to one of the many emails threads we have for you, this way we can help you.
I am not sure what warranty policy you are addressing this this complaint, but you stated many things in your emails and phone calls. You were issued a refund for the first order and if you will please provide me with the second unit warranty and you were not refunded we will be happy to help.
I look forward to a positive response.
Thank you,
Focus Camera

I made a purchase through Newegg. I ordered **** STR-DH790 7.2-Channel 4K HDR A/V Receiver and Speakers Bundle. What is pictured is NOT AT ALL what I received. I received 1/2 of what was pictured. It shows 8 speakers and I only received 4. I never received a reply to my email (to them directly and through Newegg customer service). Very misleading. And it says ineligible for return. I would like a billing adjustment of the 4 missing speakers. The order was placed on 6/22/2023. Order number is *********.ORDER #:********* INVOICE #:*********Business Response

Hello,
Thank you for your Newegg order. We emailed you to inform you have several packaging coming your way still and we had some delays. I
am sorry that you did not receive the email and the responses we sent through your Newegg emails. We responded to those emails within hours. I feel you should contact Newegg to see why you did not receive the emails sent to you.
There is definitely a disconnect on Newegg side with email responses. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience.The balance of your order should be shipping in the next 48 hours. If you need any further help, I will be happy to help. Please feel free to email ********************************.

On January 28, 2023 I placed two separate orders through ******** to Focus Camera as they were the sellers. The order was for two crossbow packages for $23.65. Both orders were confirmed, I was charged and received two separate tracking numbers via **** The items were claimed to have shipped on January, 30 and delivered on February 1st. Only I never received the items as stated and only a letter delivered with that tracking number from Focus Camera saying there was a technical error and they were issuing me a refund. On February 2, I messaged Focus Camera telling them I never authorized a refund and wanted the items as advertised. They told me there was nothing to they could do as they already issued a refund. Now the price of the items are $279.00 each. Id like the advertised price honored, my card recharged the $23.65 each, and both items delivered please. How can they claim to have shipped the item, and instead ship a letter? Everything was confirmed when the order was placed and the fraudulent sent me a letter instead of the item I purchased.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:[Your Answer Here]
This is the same response I continue to get from this business which is completely unacceptable. First of all I was refunded for one of the two placed orders. I have yet to see a refund for the other. Secondly, I never asked for a refund. This company claimed to have shipped the orders I paid for. I received tracking numbers and tracked them until delivery. However they never shipped them, but instead shipped me two letters. They falsely made me believe that I was going to receive the items and never once told me that I wasnt. I feel as though this company is using false advertising to steal peoples money and information. All I am asking for is to receive the item you confirmed I purchased and claimed to have shipped to me but never did. The item that I actually paid for! I do not want a refund!

Hello, Thank you for reaching out again. Your two orders were canceled due to a pricing error as you do know. Both your orders were refunded in full and we owe you no money. While I understand you would like this product for the price that we mistakenly had listed. We cannot honor this at this time. Clearly you know this was an error and feel that we owe the product at the wrong price. At this time this matter is closed. The wrong price cannot be honored at this time. Please consider this matter closed. Thank you
