      I purchased two items from this retailer through Amazon in October and returned them within several days using their prepaid return labels. Tracking for both *** and **** shows both items were received in the last week of October, 2023. I have contacted both Amazon and Bealls several times and the refund is still not posted to my account.

      We have researched and have detailed information that the refund was processed through our company and Amazon October 30th and 31st.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      First, I thank the BBB for basically doing what you, Bealls, and Amazon should be doing between yourselves.

      Per the attached screenshot, No Refund has been posted to my Amazon or bank account.

      You continue to say the same thing over and over without coordinating resolution directly with Amazon.   Again, do your job!

      I have 2 issues/questions. Why is my location closing at 9pm when there are 2 signs on the set of doors stating hours are open until 10pm. The second question is what is an acceptable policy or procedure towards a customer from manager/employee if I am a "late" shopper?? (i.e. arrive in store to spend my hard earned money at 8:30pm?)

      I purchased a shirt at the Bealls Outlet store in ******, *** on 07/26/2023, receipt enclosed. While removing the security device the clerk tore the bottom of the shirt. This was found out while unpacking from vacation the next day. I filed a complaint with Bealls Corp. and was told a refund would appear on my credit card statement. this should take about 1 to 2 billing cycles. We're now 1/2 way thru the 3rd billing cycle and my requests are going unanswered about my refund. Please help, ***************

      We originally received a call from ****************** on 8/26/23 regarding her drivers license.  Ms. ******** comments were elevated on 8/27/23 to our Store Operations and LP teams for investigation.  As a result of the investigation, it was determined that ****************** was handed back her drivers license during the transaction. At 16:26, she gave the license to the associate.  At 16:31, the associate gave her back her license and does not appear to drop the license in the store.  Our Store Operations team has tried to contact ****************** at both numbers that were provided by her at the initial contact and both numbers go straight to voicemail.  If ****************** can provide a good contact number where she can be reached then we can provide it to our Store Operations team.

      SEE ORDER ********. I ORDERED LIGHT WASH SHORTS AND MEDIUM WASH WERE SENT TO ME. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS GIVEN 2 WAYS OF RESOLVING THE MATTER. I COULD SEND THEM BACK VIA ***** WHICH WAS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME, I DO NOT DRIVE. I COULD ACCEPT A CREDIT OF 20% AND A CREDIT FOR THE COST OF SHIPPING. I CHOSE THE LATTER. WHEN MY CREDIT CAME IT WAS FOR SHIPPING ONLY. AGAIN I CALLED ****. SERVICE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECORD OF THEM TELLING ME I WOULD ALSO GET 20% CREDIT. I WAS THEN OFFERED FREE SHIPPING ON MY NEXT ORDER. AGAIN I THANKED ******* BUT I ACCEPTED NOTHING ELSE BECAUSE THE RIGHT THING HADN'T AND WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN. WHILE I BELIEVE BOTH REPS GENUINELY WANTED TO RESOLVE MY ISSUE THE CONSTAINTS IMPOSED BY COMPANY POLICY PROHIBITED THEM FROM DOING SO. THE FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM IS SIMPLE. DELIVER THE SHORTS THAT I ORDERED OR REFUND THE FULL AMOUNT OF MY PURCHASE. I WOULD PREFER GETTING THE SHORTS THAT I ORDERED RATHER THAN A REFUND.

      During the fulfillment process, great care is taken to ensure each guest receives the correct product.  However, we understand human error can sometimes occur and for that, we sincerely apologize.

      To make things right, we have issued a refund to the original payment method for the item(s) shipped in error.  Please keep or donate the item(s) received in error. If the shorts that you ordered are still available and you would like to reorder, please let us know.  A live associate will need to process the order by phone.  We will honor the same sale price from the original order for each pair and waive the shipping fee.

      I have had a ******* credit card for several years and have always paid on time like I do with all my credit cards, mortgage, and car. I am never late because I have worked so hard to build my credit. I called ******* a couple of months ago and used the automated services to pay my balance off in full. It was paid, in full, as per the amount the automated teller said to pay. Zero balance. I put my card away and didn't think about it again. Today I received an alert that my credit score dropped 70 points. I found that ******* had put a 30-day-late report on my file. I called the customer services ********************** and was told there was a $3.52 finance charge on my account that went unpaid. I explained that I paid it off in full several months back and the gentleman said, "Yes I see that so I'm not sure why you were charged interest on a zero balance. I am taking off the $3.52 and the late charge we also applied for the finance charge bringing your account to a zero balance." He gave me a confirmation number and said I will receive a letter confirming the zero balance in a few days. I appreciate his efforts to do that, however it still remains that I have a 30-day-late hit on my credit now the ONLY one in more than 10 years for a finance charge on an account that I had paid off in full. PLEASE take this off of my credit report. My hard earned excellent credit score is ruined because of this. I am heartbroken by it and cannot believe this has happened.

      To whom it may concern,

      I am writing you in regard to my account with ********************** (Account Ending in ****) of which I have had for several years and have never once been late. I called a few months ago and, through the automated teller, I paid my balance off in full based on the amount the automated teller said was due. It was paid in full. I paid the amount the automated teller said was the full amount.

      Today I received notice from the credit bureaus that my score went down almost 70 points. I have worked very hard for more than 10 years to raise my score and am in excellent standing with all of my accounts and had an excellent credit rating.

      I called Bealls and spoke with a representative who confirmed that I had paid off the account in full. He said that a finance charge of $3.52 had been added to my account after I made the payment in full. He then said a late fee was also added afterwards. He stated he did not understand why I was charged a finance fee after it was paid in full and he subsequently removed the finance fee along with the late fee, bringing the account to a zero balance again. He is sending me a letter that my account is at a zero balance in a few days. His phone confirmation was #****. He recommended I send a letter to Bealls to request the negative credit report of 30-days-late be removed.

      I am so heartbroken by this negative report on my credit file. I truly have taken such pride in having an excellent credit score and never paying anything car, mortgage, credit cards late. Bealls has ruined my credit over what I believe is a glitch and I am asking kindly if you could remove the negative reporting from my credit file. All three credit centers have been impacted by this with the large drop in my score. Please help!

      Sincerely,

      I have been receiving emails from Bealls for months. Each time, I request to unsubscribe, yet I continue getting them. I utilized the live chat and was told I was unsubscribed already, but I kept getting emails. I emailed Bealls, but the emails continued with no response. I also messaged them through social media. I have gone so far as to complain to the state attorney general's office.

      Placed an order from Bealls Outlet on 5-15-2023 totalling $34.25. Order was never received. I wrote to them and a reshipment of my items was sent on 6-24-2023. Second shipment also was never received. Wrote to them again and complained and demanded a full refund. All I get back from them is the same form letter saying they will look into it. Not acceptable! All I want now is a full refund. Thank you in advance for your help.
