      I ordered what was supposed to be an “authentic autographed” CD from 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne being sold by ***. The item was ordered January 25, 2024 and arrived Feb 4, 2024. Upon first glance, it’s evident the item is fake as you can see they tried to digitally enhance the signature what distorted and pixilated it. * **** *** *** **** ****** **** ** ******* *** ******** ********** *** **** **** ******* ** *** ***** * ** ******** ******* * ***** ****** ******* ******* *** ****** ** **** ****** *** ************ ** *** **** *** ** ******* ******* ********** ************ On their ******** page, they make it look so good and show the 2 artists signing merchandise, ******** **** ****** **** **** * ***** *** *** **** ** ** ***** ****** ** *** *** ******* * *** ******* *** *** ***** **** ** **** ***** * ******* ******* ***** *** **** *** ********* *** **** ****** ** ****** I am either requesting a REAL authentic signature or a full refund. * ** ******* ***** ***** ******* **** * ***** ************* ****** ** **** **** *** ** **** ** ** **********

      I preordered 7” vinyl from UMG sometime around September 2023. The vinyl were: **** *** *** *** *** ** ****** Single Vinyl X1 Order number ********* **** *** *** ***** ******** Single Vinyl x2 Order number ********* I got tired of continual shipping date pushbacks and requested a cancellation of all 3 vinyl ordered on November 30th, 2023. I received an email back stating that they confirmed cancellation, and to expect my refund within 7-10 business days. It has now been well over a month since the confirmed cancellation, to which I received another email after reaching out to them on 3 different occasions post ‘cancellation’ (December 27th, 2023, January 2nd, 2024, and January 8, 2024). The new email from UMG stated that they could not proceed with the cancellation until I confirmed my full name and email address that was used for the order. I was under the impression it had been cancelled LONG before this!!!!! I have since done what they asked, and still to no avail. I have been ordering from UMG for a long time now, and I will never be ordering through them again. Everyday in our music ******** groups, UMG is a constant let down, ***** ******* ******** *** ******* ********
