I needed an expedited shipping for a fragrance as a gift for my friend. However, the fragrance was marked delivered and did not arrive. I have checked with my neighbors and waited and still received nothing. It has also been over a week.I As a result, I did not have an immediate gift and had to go out to a store and buy a different gift instead. As a result Im out twice the amount of the cost the fragrance is. I have already contacted frangrance support and its been extremely slow.Business Response

On 07/14/25, I ordered cologne (Order #*********) from Fragrancenet.com, paying $18 for guaranteed overnight shipping. Fragrancenet.com falsely confirmed shipment; *** received the merchandise two days later, only after my three calls and one email complaint. I have not received the product or shipping. Fragrancenet.com also falsely claimed to have refunded the shipping and provided a 10% discount, neither of which materialized.Violations of Consumer Protection Laws:Fragrancenet.com's actions violate several consumer protection laws:************************ (FTC) Act, Section 5 (15 U.S.C. 45(a))Mail, Internet, or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule (16 CFR Part 435)Michigan Consumer Protection Act (MCPA), MCL ******* et seq., specifically:MCL 445.903(1)(c)MCL 445.903(1)(e)MCL 445.903(1)(g)MCL 445.903(1)(s)MCL 445.903(1)(y)MCL 445.903(1)(bb)I have paid for goods and services not received, and the company made multiple false representations. I expect immediate rectification.Business Response

Better Business Bureau:
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:Simply discontinuing financial abuse and deception of a customer does not resolve issues; it only brings an end to ongoing harm. It also required no less than 5 phone calls, hours on the phone, and multiple, repeated attempts to accept the bait and switch for a 10% discount. The company also violated the ***'s Holder Rule on missed delivery times, and did not offer a refund after their failure, which they were required to proactively do - its not something that's supposed to be done reactively after hours on the phone and furthermore, should not be sadled with merchandise return contingencies. I will be returning the item, after I have law enforcement examine it because it smells like alcohol and nothing more - certainly not the Prada cologne I've been wearing everyday since 2015

I ordered a cologne from ************* and it came in the mail half full. No big deal I returned this fragrance for an exchange bottle. The exchange bottle came in half full. They resealed the package I returned to them and sent it back to me. Unbelievable. Literally the worst way to practice businessBusiness Response

I have placed my order ********* on 7/2/25 for three sample perfumes in order to take them when traveling. I know the scent for all of them. When I received my package, the scent and color of Parfums de ***** ****** was completely different from the original. I reached out to customer service via messaging system and requests replacement of the original scent. Today, 7/12/25, the scent arrived and AGAIN it is the the original Parfums de ****** ****** scent! It is exactly the same as the first wrong order I received. Absolutely disappointing! I tried to send another message through the website, but every time I was given an error message when trying to submit the feedback. I am questioning authenticity of the perfumes and how the samples are being filled. I wonder how many customers who order sample perfumes without knowing what they should smell like are being fooled. I am asking to have the real PDM Sedley sample be sent, yet at the same time I no longer trust that they will send me the correct scent. The mistake already happened twice and trust is lost.Business Response

This is absolutely unacceptable! My FragranceNet order, #*********, has never been delivered, and I am beyond frustrated!Eight agonizing days just for the order to ship was already ridiculously long. But then, ******, the delivery service in my area, proved to be an absolute disaster. Their tracking brazenly claims it was "delivered" to my front door, but the delivery proof picture itself shows the package carelessly left exposed in front of my door, not hidden at all, and without any doorbell ring, knock, or any attempt whatsoever to notify me! They just tossed it out in plain sight, completely exposed, without a shred of concern for whether anyone was home or for concealing it from public view.And of course, my package is now nowhere to be found. I am absolutely incensed with Ontrac's utterly irresponsible *********** top it all off, when I desperately tried to reach ************ customer service last night and again this morning, I couldn't get through to anyone! Your support was completely unreachable when I needed it most.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:I am quite confused and frankly, frustrated by your response. This is my very first order with FragranceNet, so I'm unsure what 'previous claims' you are referring to. Why am you asking me to contact my bank for a missing package that your courier clearly mishandled, as shown by the delivery photo? What exactly do you expect me to tell my bank for you to resolve this issue?

I ordered some expensive fragrances from FragranceNet as a Fathers Day gift. The tracking showed it was delivered, but I never received anything. No one in my home accepted the package. I also checked with neighbors and reviewed our home security footage there was no delivery attempt made at all.I contacted FragranceNet to report the missing package, and only then was I told that it had supposedly been signed for. That was the first time I became aware of any signature, which came as a complete surprise because neither I nor anyone in my home signed for this.I also called their customer service line, and they told me to contact my credit card company. That response left me feeling helpless, and as if they were washing their hands of any responsibility, like I was being pushed aside rather than helped. As i don't believe this was a banking issue but a delivery issue instead.This order was meant to be a Fathers Day gift, and now that the date has passed and i have had to improvise and buy something locally, the gift has lost its meaning. Whats worse is the stress and financial loss from something I never received, despite doing everything right on my ****** kindly requesting a full refund, as the item was never delivered to me and I have no use for it anymore.Business Response

I am writing to express my extreme disappointment regarding my recent Fragrancenet order, #*********. The tracking indicates it was delivered Thursday, June 12th, at 2:08 P.M. to a locker, which is simply impossible as my building does not have lockers. I've thoroughly searched the entire property, inside and out, and the package is nowhere to be found.I also tried reaching out this morning when your customer service was supposed to be online, but for some reason, they were completely unreachable. It's incredibly frustrating when you're dealing with a missing item and can't even get through to someone for help.I strongly suspect *** made an egregious error by delivering it to the wrong location, a clear act of negligence on their part. This was intended as a Father's Day gift, and the excitement of thinking it arrived on time, only to discover it's missing, is incredibly upsetting and frustrating.Business Response
