    I am writing to file a complaint against ************ regarding my recent order (#*********), which I have not received. Despite contacting the company through email to report the issue, I was met with a disappointing and unhelpful response.Rather than investigating or attempting to resolve the matter, ************ advised me to file a dispute with my bank. I find it highly concerning that a company would shift the burden of resolving a missing or potentially stolen order onto the customer, instead of taking responsibility and addressing the problem directly.This approach not only creates unnecessary inconvenience, but it also raises questions about the company's commitment to customer service and accountability. I believe it is unacceptable to make customers go through additional steps such as initiating a chargeback just to recover money for a product they never received.This experience has been extremely frustrating, and I am seeking assistance from the BBB in urging FragranceNet to take appropriate action to resolve this issue

    Please allow us to begin with our apologies for the non-received package and for any inconvenience this may have caused. Our records show that we have advised customer to reach out to their payment provider regarding this purchase. Our ***************** has advised this as the best course of action to remedy this matter.  We have received multiple claims of non-received packages, and we need for our Credit Team and customers payment provider, to work to reach resolution.

    Thank you

    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:

    FragranceNet has stated that they have received multiple non-received packages but this was my first time ordering from this business. As a business that holds their reputation in selling fragrance to their customers, they should be held responsible for packages that the consumers did not receive. I expect that the business will in good faith refund me for this order. Thank you

    Dear Better Business Bureau,I am writing to report a potential issue with FragranceNet.com regarding an undelivered order and unclear business practices that may mislead consumers. My concern is not to accuse but to highlight a pattern that could affect other customers.On March 12, 2025, I placed an order for a perfume (Order #*********). The package cleared customs in ***********, **, on March 17, yet it was never delivered. I repeatedly contacted FragranceNet.com via email (March 27 & 31) and social media. After initially being ignored, I was told to wait until April 2. Upon following up, I was informed my package was lost, and a refund was issued.While I appreciate the refund, this situation raises concerns:Where do these lost packages go? If a product clears customs under a consumers name but never reaches them, is it reclaimed or resold?Delayed refunds: Holding customer funds for weeks while packages disappear could be unfair if repeated frequently.Lack of transparency: If these losses happen regularly, consumers deserve clearer policies on how missing shipments are handled.I request BBB to review whether other consumers have reported similar issues and encourage FragranceNet.com to improve transparency, response times, and handling of lost packages. If my situation is isolated, I accept the refund as resolution, but if this is a pattern, it may warrant further scrutiny.Thank you for your time.

     In response to your inquiry, we apologize that your order was deemed lost by the courier. A full refund was issued to the method of payment on file on April 2, 2025. Please be advised that when a package is considered lost by the courier, we file a claim to attempt to find our further information regarding the reason the package is unable to be located; however, the information received from the courier is the only information available to us once the claim is filed. We can assure you that we do take these concerns very seriously, and this is not a common or ongoing issue; however, sometimes packages do become lost. When this happens, we are always willing to offer a full refund or a reshipment while we further investigate.  We have escalated the issue to the courier in an attempt to collect further information. We apologize for the inconvenience.

     The company is lying, and that's the problem. They didn't offer to send me new products. They reimbursed me. They extorted my money for 1 month, the product cleared from customs in my name became legal in ******. They didn't offer to send me new products, why are they lying? Somethings are illegal here, you can see. Thak you.

    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: 

    The issue is not about the product being lost. Instead of sending a replacement, they issued a refund without even responding to my inquiry. My question is this: why wasnt a new product sent to me?
    How many products in 2024 were reportedly lost within ****** after being cleared through customs under customers names? How many Canadians were disregarded and left in this situation, and how many were simply refunded for items claimed to be lost?
    Is it possible that these supposedly lost products are being resold within ******? Has the company reported this issue to ************************? Is there a system in place that operates in this way?
    Why do products that reach the final distribution center in *********** go missing there?
    The real concern is not personalits about how many Canadians are being affected in this way. Is it possible that this is being done regularly and systematically?

    I purchased Creed Absolu early this year for approximately $340. Once I received my package I noticed the box was tampered with and I immediately contacted fragrance support to report the finds. I was dissatisfied with the service and requested a return label for a refund. Fragrance support emailed the label but realized it was for a purchase that I made late last year for D&G The One! I once again notified fragrance support about the issue and they replied back stating to use the return label that I was provided. Weeks past and I get a refund notification on my phone for approximately $63. I contacted fragrance support AGAIN and they told me the item I returned was accepted and I got my refund. I explained to them that I returned Creed Absolu that was approx $340 using the wrong label that was provided by them and was instructed to use. They stated I returned D&G The One was received and implied I was in the wrong as if I was scamming them. I have all my email communications with them and they refuse to throughly investigate this issue and to accept my short fall!I told the supervisor of the company that Im a firefighter and will provide my department information if needed to show my character, that I am not scamming them and just wanted to have this matter corrected. If this couldnt be resolved I would seek legal matters

    I had a very disappointing and frustrating experience with this company. I made a purchase through their website on March 10th, and while the payment was immediately deducted from my bank account, I never received an order confirmation or the product. After reaching out to customer support multiple times via phone and chat, I was told the issue was due to internal system errors and that I would receive a refund within 7 business days.Its now well past that timeframe, and I still havent received my money or any proper update. Most of the responses I get are automated and completely unhelpful. The only time I actually got a reply from a real agent, they shockingly sent me another customers personal information, including their name, address, and tracking detailsan extremely unprofessional and serious breach of privacy.Ive had to provide the same information repeatedly, yet no one takes responsibility or follows through. At this point, I would strongly advise others to avoid this service. If this isnt resolved soon, Ill be forced to take further action.
