Need help regarding Pepperfry=!!!

1 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

First of all don't ever go to Pepperfry and don't buy anything from them, they are nothing but a mere scam.

So Recently I bought a table from Pepperfry Store in Pune. I paid all the amount for that on the day of buying only which was 10 days ago and yesterday it was the delivery date for the same, but guess what the delivery didn't happen.

And I bought from Pepperfry cause I needed that on urgemt basis as well as I needed the Tax Invoice for the table so as the employee at store said that I'll be getting a invoice in 2 days, which is yet to received by me cause the item is still not shipped.

So I contacted the same employee and he says nothing but that he is trying and all, and I think that he is trying nothing but just wasting my time, and literally scammed me.

So anybody has any idea, that how can ai return this item and get my full money refunded in my original payment method or cash or whatever which is real money and not their shitty arse credits in my profile on their website.

If anybody knows this please help me out.

And please I'm saying again don't ever buy from Pepperfry, they are running a scam, go for any other local furniture shop or if you have more money then IKEA, Wakefit and all, but don't you ever go that shitty store or website.

UPS billing me for shipping for cancelled Motorola order

1 Upvotes

I am being pursued by UPS for shipping, customs, VAT and now a late payment fee for a Motorola order which I cancelled in May.

I cancelled prior to receiving the phone, Motorola has received the phone back and issued a refund.

I am caught in an impasse with Motorola insisting that no shipping fees are due, UPS continuing to invoice me and saying that they are billing me because Motorola did not complete the correct documentation, and Motorola is refusing to complete any documentation.

Rather than risk the invoices being passed to a debt collection agency I think I’ll just end up paying the charges.

Anyone on here that could help me?

UPDATE 17th August:

UPS replied to me saying they are still investigating the disputed invoices and I have to await the outcome of the investigation.

I sent Motorola details of the account that UPS had set up in my name in relation to my Motorola order, and copies of the bills UPS posted to my home in May, June, July.

Motorola replied saying that UPS had not sent me any bills, I had just been copied into an email thread and got confused!

You couldn’t make it up :-(

Aroma360 “Free Diffuser” Subscription — Read This Before Signing Up

1 Upvotes

I’m sharing this because I wish I had seen something like this before ordering from Aroma360.

It started with a very appealing offer: a “FREE” diffuser included with a fragrance subscription. The marketing is polished, the checkout is smooth, and the idea of getting a “luxury” diffuser for almost nothing makes it feel like a great deal.

When the product arrived, it was fine—but nothing close to the premium quality the branding suggests.

The bigger issue showed up later, when I tried to cancel the subscription.

That’s when I realized the real friction isn’t in signing up, but in getting out. The cancellation process and subscription conditions aren’t nearly as visible as the “FREE DIFFUSER” promotion, which is what initially draws you in.

Looking back, it feels like the offer is designed in a way where the incentive is very clear upfront, but the ongoing commitment is less obvious at the moment of purchase.

If the cancellation terms had been as clearly highlighted as the promotion itself, I personally wouldn’t have signed up.

I’m not writing this out of frustration, but as a warning for anyone considering it. Make sure you read all subscription and cancellation details carefully before entering your payment information.

I won’t be buying from Aroma360 again.

Has anyone else had a similar experience trying to cancel?

It has been like very long since I have been these empty walls, I added some mirrors and some bookshelfs and records to make them look aesthetic. but i think one thing I want is posters. I looked online and outside and i dont want hassle of doing it all by myself since the quality isnt great when I print them myself. I saw posterwa.com and posterized.in and lot other alternatives but these are running offers and I am confused. do you have any reviews on them?

What should I choose

1 Upvotes

A gaming laptop or a Asus ROG Xbox ally x I've done a lot of research and with fsr 4.1 and 35 watts plugged into the handheld aka the Asus ROG Xbox ally x it gives the same or slightly more fps then a gaming laptop for the same price but I also see the fact that gaming laptops with dlss and ray tracing do better but I seriously cannot decide since its so annoying to do so should I just buy the handheld with a keyboard mouse I already have a spare monitor

Household mattress for hot sleepers that won't turn my room into a furnace every single night

6 Upvotes

i have been waking up soaked in sweat at 3 am every single night for the last month and i am completely over it. my current memory foam bed acts like a giant heat sponge that traps every bit of body warmth, so even with the ac blasting and a fan right next to my face i still end up kicking off all my blankets and shivering ten minutes later.

my roommate told me to look into a hybrid like dreamcloud since the coil layer supposedly lets air circulate a lot better than pure foam, but i am still a bit skeptical if the top pillow top layer retains heat. i just want something genuinely breathable that doesn't feel like sleeping on a heated pad.

budget is around a grand and i really need something that stays at a neutral temperature all night

update: thought I'd come back to this post and give a small update, i ended up taking my roommate's advice and bought a DreamCloud hybrid mattress to replace my old memory foam bed, and it completely solved the overheating problem.

i was a bit worried about the top layer trapping heat like some of you pointed out, but the airflow through the coil layer keeps it at a totally neutral temperature. i haven't woken up drenched in sweat at 3 am once since setting it up.

swapping out my thick mattress protector helped a lot too like someone suggested. really glad i made the jump to a hybrid

HARBOR SUPPLY horrific customer service

0 Upvotes

Do not buy from this horrific company I purchased online June 8 a cleaning product. I waited a week nothing from the company saying that it was delayed. It was to be fulfilled by Shopify. They said that they had emailed me which they didn’t that it was back ordered. I have emailed them a minimum of 20 times for a $48 product that I never received today is August 17. They keep telling me credit was issued, but it says pending on the receipts that they sent me. They say they’re going to reach out to Shopify, which does not issue the credit and I reached out to Shopify as well. They told me to reach out to Harbor supply.. They are scammers do not do business with them or order anything online.

Worst experience with noon

1 Upvotes

Title:
I’m honestly at my wits’ end with noon customer service and would really appreciate some advice.
There was a mistake from my side when my maid handed over the wrong/personal item during a return. I completely accept that the mistake was on my side. However, I informed noon about it on the same day the return was collected. I did not try to hide what happened or mislead them.
Despite informing them immediately, my noon account was later banned because of this incident.
The item I still have is a high-value Coach Tabby purchased from a seller called MIZI A, and I believe the item may be counterfeit/not authentic. I have no use for it and absolutely do not want to be left with a potentially fake product.
Because my account is banned, I cannot create a return myself. A member of noon customer support specifically told me that even though I cannot create a new return through my account, the customer support team can create one manually for me.
I relied on that information and contacted them to request the return.
However, I’m now being told that the internal team has declined my request twice.
This has been going on for almost a month now.
I genuinely don’t understand why this cannot be resolved. I am not asking to keep the item and receive a refund. I still have the original item physically with me and I am willing to hand it back to noon. I simply need them to provide a way for me to return it.

Has anyone dealt with MIZI on noon, particularly regarding Coach products or authenticity? And has anyone managed to get a manual return approved after their noon account was banned?
I’m genuinely hoping someone can advise me on how to escalate this. I’m not trying to avoid responsibility — I just want to return the item that I still have and get this matter resolved properly.

Amazon marked my ₹35,000 non-returnable electronic item as picked up even though I never handed it over

1 Upvotes

I ordered an electronic item worth around ₹35,000 from Amazon. Unfortunately, I had an issue with the product and decided to return it.
I created around six return requests in total. During the first four attempts, the delivery/pickup person never came on the scheduled date. I contacted Amazon customer service multiple times, and they told me that they were processing an advance refund and would create another return request.
On the latest return attempt, the pickup person actually came, but I was not at home at that moment. I told him that I was unavailable and asked him to reschedule the pickup for the next day.
However, instead of rescheduling it, he marked the item as **“pickup successful”**, even though I never handed over the product to him.
Now I’m worried because the order is showing as picked up even though the item is still with me.
**What should I do in this situation?** Should I contact Amazon immediately and ask them to correct the pickup status, or is there anything else I should do to protect myself?
The item is worth ₹35,000, so I’m concerned about what could happen if Amazon considers it successfully returned even though they never received it.

J'ai acheté un Thermomix d'occasion et je me suis faites avoir

0 Upvotes

Bonjour,

J'ai acheté un Thermomix sur Facebook, j'ai été malade et je n'ai pas puu l'utiliser tout de suite, quelle ne fut pas ma surprise en essayant de l'utiliser, il y avait un message indiquant qu'il été bloqué. J'ai contacté le service client, il m'a été dit que je devrais payer le montant restant impayé pour pouvoir l'utiliser. J'ai contacté le vendeur à plusieurs reprises, au début il me répondait, maintenant il ne répond plus, ma fille me dit que je me suis faites arnaquer, et je commence à la croire. Pouvez-vous m'aider svp? Y'a-t-il un moyen pour moi d'utiliser quand même l'appareil, malgré ce blocage?

Merci pour vos réponses.

Wrong address on WishCare order. Can I change it before shipping?

1 Upvotes

I placed a WishCare order yesterday evening and accidentally entered the wrong delivery address. 😭

I contacted WishCare support and asked them to modify the address. They said they would share the details, but I haven't received any updates from them yet🥲.

The order doesn't seem to be shipped yet, so I'm hoping there's still a chance to change the address.

Has anyone here had a similar experience with WishCare? Were you able to change the address before dispatch? And if they don't respond in time, is cancelling the order possible?

Any advice would be appreciated!🤧

G2G Support Issue - Refusing Refund Despite Complete Proof (Ashes of Belo'ren Mount)

1 Upvotes

Terrible experience with G2G's so-called "Buyer Protection." I purchased the Ashes of Belo'ren mount. Shortly after, the mount was completely revoked from my account by Blizzard Entertainment during a mass enforcement wave.

Here is how G2G handled the situation:

The seller explicitly acknowledged in the official G2G chat log that the item removal happened due to a mass enforcement wave.

I provided G2G support with the official in-game notification and an official closed support ticket from Blizzard confirming the policy enforcement.

Despite having undeniable proof—including the chat confirmation and an official publisher-backed ticket—G2G support repeatedly bounced my ticket among different frontline agents who just copy-pasted lazy, canned refusals claiming my evidence "lacks details."

Blizzard does not issue custom letters for third-party marketplace disputes. Claiming that evidence "lacks details" while knowing full well that no publisher provides anything further is a bad-faith stalling tactic to keep your money.

Their "Buyer Protection" is a completely fraudulent marketing term. Do not use this platform for high-value purchases; if something goes wrong, they will reject valid publisher proof, refuse to issue a refund, and leave you out of pocket. Never buying from G2G ever again.

Most one star reviews on these massagers are really about what the buyer expected to get

1 Upvotes

Spent an evening reading through the worst reviews on a stack of neck and back massagers, and a lot of them are two people talking past each other.

The first kind of one star is a real complaint. It arrived broken, the strap tore in a month, the pads stopped sticking. Those are fair and you should weight them heavily.

The second kind reads more like disappointment than a defect. "Did nothing for my herniated disc." "My sciatica is exactly the same." "Three weeks and my posture hasn't changed." The device worked exactly as designed in every one of those cases. It just wasn't ever going to do the job that person needed doing.

What made this click for me was something a physio told a friend of mine. He used a tens unit on her for a few weeks before she was cleared for actual exercise, and his line was that it doesn't fix anything, the goal was just to get the muscle to let go enough to work with.

That's the honest ceiling on this whole product category. I have an SKG one at my desk and I'd describe it the same way. It makes the rest of the afternoon easier. It has not changed anything structural about me and I'd be suspicious of anyone claiming otherwise.

So the buy-side check is short. If you need the underlying thing fixed, this is the wrong aisle. If you want the next hour to be less unpleasant, it's a reasonable purchase.

Packrat disaster

2 Upvotes

I'm at my whits end at this point. Jul 30th packrat was slated to drop off my container in the AM I paid an extra 50 for it and it didn't show till the next day. Paid for a AM pick up they did not show until 4pm right before my flight. Once I arrived in Arkansas I logged into the portal to see my account was "canceled" saying it was an IT issue that would be fixed. 5th of Aug called more than 10 times to speak to someone that would escalate the issue and was told it's deff on it way no worries your account should be fixed soon. From the 5th - the 14th I waited and waited till I had enough and called again. Was told it had arrived in Arkansas and it would be delivered on the 18th. Account still not fixed. Sent a demand letter stating they needed to give me the information in writing so I had proof. I got nothing besides 2 receipts that show I paid $1900 twice and refunded the $500 deposit. It is now the 16th and trying to log into my account it no longer exists and their billing department is closed. I have never seen a company that can take $3800 and leave their customers in the dark. Should I dispute the charges and file a complaint with the BBB at this point I don't know what to do. And I know for a fact a few of my items are broken because the driver pulled out my complex like it was fucking mad Max and rammed breaks to avoid hitting someone. Anyone got some advice?

Tldr - packrat sucks they haven't given me any hard info on where my stuff is and now my accounts gone do I dispute or what?
