Date of Transaction : October 8, 2024 Email Received to Confirm Order: October 8, 2024 We have not received a notification of shipment or a tracking number. We just have not received our product. I have left multiple voicemails to their company at the number provided online and keep getting sent to voicemail. I believe there is nobody on the other end waiting for a call. I would like to receive a refund and have this business checked to make sure they are legitimate.Initial Complaint

I ordered on 9/25, at which point the website said that it shipped in 1-3 days (still says that at present, I should note).On 9/26, I received notice that it wouldn't ship until 10/2, which was after the event I needed the product for.An hour later, I responded that that date didn't work for my needs, and requested that the order be canceled.A day later, when they had not responded, I repeated the same message and request.When the product arrived, I refused it. After multiple requests for a refund, I was refunded less than half the cost.Business Response

Dear BBB Representative,
We appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns raised by *************************** regarding order number ********* and provide a comprehensive response to the filed complaint.
Order Details:
Order Number: *********
Customer Name: *************************;
Cancellation Request: 9/26/23 at 3:54 PM
Shipment Date: 9/27/23
Upon receiving the cancellation request on 9/26/23, we promptly engaged our internal processes to halt the shipment. However, the merchandise had already progressed in the shipping process and was prepared for dispatch, leading to the inability to intercept the shipment before it was picked from our warehouse on 9/27/23 via ******* Express freight.
Policy Citations: Our company's terms and conditions, available at ************************************************ our cancellation procedures, including the acknowledgment of cancellation requests by our procurement department and the associated fees incurred if items have already entered the shipping process. See cancellation policy on page 7 of the attachment HRS Terms & Conditions.
Customer Communication: We communicated internally and with our factory partners immediately upon receipt of the cancellation request to stop the shipment. Our records reflect the proactive measures taken upon receipt of the customer's request.
Resolution Offer: While the circumstances surrounding this order led to the application of standard restocking and return shipping fees, we remain committed to customer satisfaction.
Contact Information: For further communication or clarification, please feel free to reach out to our customer service team at ************ or **********************************.
Closing Statement: We value the BBB's role in ensuring fair resolutions and appreciate your attention to this matter. Our company remains committed to transparent operations and resolving customer concerns promptly.

I am rejecting this response because:Supplier argues that they were unable to cancel the order because it had already shipped on 9/27/23. My reason for cancelation was specifically because the supplier notified me that the order would not ship before October 2, 2 days after my need. Had the supplier provided an accurate shipping date, I would have had no need to cancel my order and reorder from a different supplier. Similarly, had the supplier responded in a more timely manner, the shipment could have been stopped - they state that they received my request to cancel on the 26th, but were unable to stop shipment on the 27th.
Sincerely,

I placed an order for a dishwasher stand on November 28th 2022. I was told that it would ship in 3 business days. I am opening a restaurant and needed to install the dishwasher for our building occupancy inspection. Our inspection has been pushed out 2 weeks which is causing opening delays and loss of income. I asked that they cancel the order weeks ago and was advised that they would charge me for canceling. I do not think this is fair as I was advised shipping would be within 3 business days. They are not honoring their delivery, so I should not be charged. Our project has already dealt with the delivery issues, so that is why I confirmed that the item was in stock prior to ordering. I know this may seem small as the cancelation is only 10%, but by principal it should not be charged. I would like a full refund $426.22 or an immediate shipping date.Business Response
