I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference tocomplaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. I wish they had provided this information the first time around when I was trying to contact them, this in itself is very poor customer service. Will never do business with them again.
Sincerely,

I ordered an item from them. The order has not been received. They lied and said it was shipped, when it was not. They told me the the item was to arrive 4 days ago. The company under GearLaunch, was RichTeesPlaza. I actually sent an email with a follow up email. The company actually deleted their email. On their support page, it lists a phone number that references an email address they have deleted. I ordered a T-shirt on 3 May 2024. The order number is Order #OR_T333EWM.Business response

I saw an add on my daughters school ******** page to purchase gear for her graduating class. I paid through PayPal from my bank account for $92.19 worth of gear. The items arrived today and its very apparent that they screenshot her school logo and added the graduating year. The logo is completely blurry and the year is in a different type. I went back to find the post from the ******** page and its been taken down along with any info. The package came without any info or receipt and I cant find any receipt in my emails or texts. I looked up the company and complaints about them scamming people go all the way back to three years ago. I want to return the items for a full refund as they are unusable.Business response

As stated in our site, any order can take up to 5 business days for processing. Because our products are made to order, we don't guarantee delivery dates, we can only offer an estimation.
Your order was delivered on March 14th. If you have additional questions or concerns, please reach out to our **************** team at **************************************************.Best,

I am rejecting this response because:
You have refused to refund state tax I paid you. Not a FEE, you have refused to refund ** state sales tax I paid. You refunded ONLY the cost of the poorly made item. The money is not yours and had you made an acceptable product would go to the ***********. This may possibly be illegal as well.
