On September 29 I ordered two Clarins fragrances from Fragrancenet.com. On October 7th I received two items labeled TESTERS (not for sale) of a completely different kind, they read ****** ******* When I contacted the company the same day I received my package, I let them know they made a mistake and sent me something I didn't order. I also asked for an imminent refund due to their mistake and the fact that I'm having surgery in a few hours and won't be able to process a return until fully healed. In addition, in **** we do not have **** or ***** pickup services due to the lack of service we experience in this tiny island. I also sent them pictures of the items they sent me as proof of their error. The company representative who answered my complaint outright refused to process an immediate refund and asked for the erroneous products back first. What is striking in this experience is that Fragrancenet is being allowed to sell products that are labeled testers not for sale and, in addition they're circulating these products without request from the customer, as I never ordered the perfume they sent me. In addition, they don't publish the negative reviews customers leave, as I left two reviews days ago and they don't appear on their website. I don't see how a company that makes use of such unethical business practices is allowed to still be in business.Business Response

I placed an order from FragranceNet.com on August 30th 2022 with Order number *********. Today October 9th 2022 still haven't received my package. Opened an investigation thru *** and they telling me the Seller is the one who needs to start the claim, and I wonder. How can you, as a seller (FraganceNet), redirect customers to *** to file a claim knowing it is you who needs to open it? Also, I went through Afterpay, my method of payment and, they told me, as a method of payment they can NOT file a dispute. REALLY! I though Afterpay have a Bank and a Dispute team, RIGHT!! Any-who, after they both resolution were a dead end I went Back to FraganceNet, which by the way, their first response was to contacted *** and Afterpay before attempting to resolve the issue with them, and if they couldn't help then FraganceNet will, I did exactly that. Now they're saying based on multiple packages not being delivered to me they can not assist. I believe they got confused, like one of the email, after first contact, stating I need to contact Paypal when I didn't use Paypal to pay them, they mixing customers up. WHAT PACKAGES FraganceNet? First and Last time I order from them. I will make my life a h*** of bad reviews for this guys everywhere online. My 3 fragrances totaling over $800 will NOT go to waste. One last thing, All I want is a replacement OR store credit to place similar order, NOT a refund, I don't need the refund since I'm placing same order. FraganceNet, like my fellow reviewer said here, you really should be ashamed of yourselves for scamming and conning people out of their hard-earned money in this way. I sincerely hope you get sued into oblivion and run out of business. Worst business in the US. My email is *************************** Another last thing. Why will FraganceNet also ask customers to go thru their delivery courier or method of payment when they refuse to be hold accountable when charge backs are filled? WORST WORST WORST COMPANY.Business Response

I am trying to reach a customer service representative over the phone, Ive called numerous times, and each time Ive called the phone line disconnected after 30 minutes. This company provides their phone number yet refuses to answer calls. I am having a major issue with my order, order *********. I had ordered the ****** Woman in Gold fragrance, and was sent a Dolce and Gabbana fragrance instead. The ****** fragrance was supposed to be a gift, and so this issue has caused me a major inconvenience. I want to return this product and get my money back. It is so shady how you cannot reach anyone. I tried to reach a representative over live chat as well, and after an hour of waiting for a representative nobody had shown up.Business Response

I was trying to order a perfume from this site and when I got to the check it gave different options to use as payment . Cash App was one of them. I used Cash App and it redirected me to it and i paid the amount $61.74 it took the money right away and then redirected me back to the fragrance site but it just kept spinning never going to the shipping part. So I contacted them and the said they cant find anything , so I explained to them what happened. The said that it would go back on my car in 2 days . I waited it never happened. Then i email them and they said 2-7 days. That never happened. Called them again after waiting for like 25 mins on hold, for the lady to tell me the same thing . I just want my money back.Customer Answer

I bought 3 perfumes on July 11, 2022 from this company for a total of $169.89. The company uses ***** as a delivery company. As the days passed and I did not receive the package I checked the ***** tracking number. It said it had been delivered on July 15 2022 in the mail room. We do not have a mailroom, so they should have left it by my door or on the floor by the mailboxes since they are located outside, on the ground floor (I live on a fourth floor). The package was not there and I never received the merchandise.I wrote to the company, called **************************** at least three times. They never answered the calls and never responded to my email explaining what happened to my merchandise. I want my $169.00 dollars back, if you can get it for **** attached the order confirmation I received via email and a screenshot of the amount debited from my checking account.Thank you,****************************************, **.Business Response

I also emailed the email address "*********************", and "****************************". And I never got a reply back to me. I called my credit card *********** to contact FragranceNet. Finally, FraganceNet sent me RMA Issued: #*******. I sent the broken bottle back and showed that they got the return item. Then I called to ************* ********** and this time they answered the phone and said they will make refund back to me $56.79.I checked my money refund on my *********** and PayPal( I purchased through PayPal with my *********** credit card). I did not see any money back. I called ************* (********) again with a long holding, I ended emailed them and they replied back that they sent the money refund back with PayPal on June 7th, 2022.
