      I bought a box of Sees Nuts and Chews at the ****** ******* as a ******* gift. It was the normal 1-lb size. More expensive than in the store, but hey, it was the airport, so I took that understandable increase in stride. The next day, there was a joke in the house: who ate all the chocolates? There were noticeably few in the box and everyone teased the *******, even though she claimed she had eaten only three. She did lament that they had seemed few to begin with. Then someone noticed the box: It was the normal-sized 1-pound box, no changes there. But the box didn't show one pound as its contents, it had printed on it "11 ounces." I flew to the internet. Sees does not sell an 11-oz box anywhere on its sites. Sixteen ounces normal everywhere in the country down to 11 ounces. Not a decrease of 2 ounces, but a full 5 ounces--32% less. For more money. I apologized, even though it was not my fault. Now it was a gift gone bad. It's one thing if Sees is doing this system-wide (consumers might become more aware), but a same-sized box with 32% less in only one location: that is DECEPTIVE PRACTICE. If Sees is going to collaborate in this way, Sees should noticeably change the box size. It was particularly bad because it was a ******* gift that makes the giver look cheap. We agreed I should write and complain. I no longer have the receipt, but will be able to look up the charge on my card. Until such time as Sees changes the box size, I insist that the ****** ******* (and any other airports) post very visible signage where those boxes are sold that says something to the effect of (NOTE: 11 oz weight in 1-lb box).

      I ordered a selection to be delivered for Father's day on the 8th of June. It was to be delivered on June 12th per the website upon finishing the order. It was to be shipped directly to my parents home in **********. This allowed for plenty of time before Fathers day. On June 15th I happened to check with my mother that she had received it for my Dad. They had nothing, so I went to See's website entered the information only to be told their website is having issues and to check with the carrier directly. The carrier tracking showed they were still awaiting the item from See's. I left a message on See's website since no one is available on weekends, with all the details. Got a response on the 17th apologizing and asking if they can send a replacement and they would refund the shipping charges. I replied to the email with a yes please, and thank you. I received a new email saying the refund would be processed in 7-14 days. I'm not really concerned about $13, but there was no information about a tracking number or anything. So yesterday, June 20th, I decided to call and spoke with the same customer service rep that was on the emails I had received. I asked for a tracking number to which she told me it was out for delivery. She told me there was a problem with the tracking information they could access which is apparent in bold letters on the website. She told me she would email it to me. I contacted my mother and told her it would be out for delivery so to make sure and watch for it. Needless to say nothing was delivered and no tracking number sent to me. I finally sent an email stating unless they can give me something to confirm its been sent and tracked to just cancel the order and please refund me. If you guessed I have not heard anything, you would be correct. I don't care about the cost, its just really frustrating to have so many breakdowns revolving around the same order. Order # ********
