Hey so I subscribed to their purpl Lux subscription program back on October 13th 2022. I received my first 2 orders around the 14th as promised but for December I received nothing. I then waited until January 9th 2023 before contacting them about my order and their claim was my card was declined, but my subscription was paid for up to a year so I canceled and requested a prorated refund. I was informed that it would take 3-7 business days. I checked in on January 19th of ************************************************************************************************************************************* ***** hrs. On January 24, ************************************************************************************ ***** hrs. Again, I was told oh we have to submit a ticket to IT.

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:They insist that the order is on hold until I provide them with the phone number associated with the card. But I have already sent them this information. Twice. And I got no response vis-a-vis the status of my order. Second, they already charged me for the order. So I have no idea what they are trying to verify. If they had doubts about the validity of my card, they shouldn't have drawn funds from it.
I have yet to receive a refund for the 20 dollar next day shipping. But why stop at shipping? They should refund the entire amount. Or ship what I paid for.

This number is typically located on the back on the credit card. Once this information is received, the order will be released to continue processing and shipping. In addition, the promised refund for the shipping cost, will process once we fully charge the credit card for this purchase. Currently, we are holding the authorization to charge this card.

11/23/22 I placed an order with FragranceNet.com to buy an expensive hair curler at half price. I was a Christmas gift. Toital cost $*****. I felt fortunate to find this price.11/29/22 FragranceNet charged my credit card $ ***** (They claimed later that they issued me my refund on the day they charged me - one of many varied excuses they have used for not making refund.)12/10/22 I sent an email wondering where my shipment was.12/13/22 FragranceNet replied in an email that they were canceling my order - I did not cancel it. Their email said I would get the refund "in 4-7 days". 01/2/23 I sent an email wondering where the refund was. 01/4/23 FragranceNet replied that they had issued the refund on the day they had charged my credit card. My credit card history proves refund didn't happen then nor has happened since. 01/8/23 I sent them the above history.01/17/23 FragranceNet replied as follows: "This order was placed and canceled on November 29, 2022. Please note that while we did authorize the payment, we never followed through with the charge because the order was cancelled. An authorization is a purchase or withdrawal which has been deducted from your Available Balance but has not yet cleared. Please contact your financial institution for further assistance."01/18/23 FragranceNet emailed me saying they did not cancel the order - I did. That is not true however I replied that it didn't matter who canceled the order - I want my $***** refund. It appears they are playing games and have no intention of refunding my $*****. I am wondering if my credit card company would get involved in this or should I just see what you can do? Thank you, ***********************************Business Response
Date: 01/19/2023
Please allow us to begin with our apologies for the inconvenience this may have caused and for the misinformation provided. The item originally ordered was not cancelled per customer request, however, cancelled due to the item being unavailable. This order was cancelled, and our records show the refund was successfully issued on November 29, 2022. We will include additional information supporting the refund that customer can confirm this transaction.

I placed an order on Friday January 13,2023 for 2 bottles of perfume that totaled $121.91, when I clicked the button to "submit order" I got an error message, and my cart remained with 2 bottles in the cart. I then got emails asking me to complete my purchase from Fragrancenet.com. I tried calling on Monday and got an outgoing message saying they were "closed for the holiday." I called yesterday and was disconnected almost immediately after selecting to talk to a representative. I called back and selected another option, then sat on hold for over 25 mins. I also emailed. No one responded. Even when I close my browser and reopen the website, my cart still has both items in it. I called again today at 3:15 pm EST and got an outgoing message to call back during normal business hours "M To F 9am to 5pm EST." I believe this is a scam website based on the countless other BBB complaints and want my money back.Business Response

Please accept our sincerest apologies for the unsuccessful order and for any inconvenience this may have caused. We have checked our system and we do not have record of receiving a recently placed order for customer. If there is a pending authorization being held on the account, it will automatically drop from the account. Typically, authorizations are reversed within 4-7 business days, depending on the bank.

I ordered perfume in good faith and supplied my credit card number and phone number as well as my address.I have never been turned down for my credit card.I received a notice that my order was on HOLD and when I tried to reach the company I was put on wait with periodic messages telling me to hold. In the meantime I have been bombarded by spam emails from the company. I held on the phone for 30 minutes with no success. All they offer is a recorded message telling me I can cancel the order on line. Why would I want to cancel? Perhaps it is because they have no intention of filling my order.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:There is no way I can contact this firm. They do not answer their phone and e-mails go unanswered. I have perfect credit and there is no legitimate reason why my order cannot be shipped. I request that the order be filled immediately. **************** shows that the charged has been registered with them already.

I placed an order with Fragrance.net. The order is #*********. this was around 12/19/2022. The Tracking they gave me showed the order was stuck in one city for days. I was patient about it, due to it being around Christmas time. I had given them my complete address. Then the tracking showed the item was being sent back to sender. No update from fragrance.net as to what happened. I emailed fragrance.net on 01/13/2022. I have not had any kind of email response from them. They have not issued me a refund. Now on my account for the site the order isn't even showing. I do have an email to verify that it was placed though.Business Response
