      I placed an order for a Clemson Checkerboard tailgate tent that was on sale for $200.84 on July 2, 2022, via shop.clemsontigers.com. I was given multiple delivery dates but UPS stated they haven’t received the tent. I contacted them for a status and they said no worries the tent was on its way to UPS. I still didn’t receive the tent so I contacted them again on July 28 and they said they would follow up within 72 hours and apologized and gave me a credit of $14.99 for shipping. I didn’t receive feedback within 72 hours so I contacted them today Aug 2 and they stated that it was out of stock and they would cancel the order. I stated I wanted them to honor the order given it was in stock when I placed the order one month ago. They canceled it and credited my account against my request. I have documents to support the chat discussion if needed.

      Upon receiving this complaint, we reviewed the details regarding the order not being received. The consumer reached out to Fan Services and was unable to receive a timely resolution. We are sincerely sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. We were unsuccessful at reaching the consumer via phone, however, we have emailed the consumer to advise of the following: 

      Upon review of the order, we can confirm the original package was delay with being shipped. Once shipped, the package was lost in transit. At this time, the item was out of stock and the only option was for the order to be refunded. A refund was processed on August 2, 2022. We ask the consumer to allow 2-7 business days for the refund to reflect the original form of payment. 

      For the inconvenience caused, we have assisted the consumer with replacing the order at a discounted price with free shipping. Once shipped, the consumer will receive an email confirmation with the tracking details.
       
      We greatly appreciate the feedback and will escalate the information to the appropriate department for further review, as we are always looking for ways to improve the online shopping experience for our customers. 
       
      If we can be of any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly.

      I cannot get this organization to quit emailing my work email even after multiple 'unsubscribe from marketing emails' link clicks over the last several months (Example link below from email received today from eml.nflshop.com). This has got to stop; I cannot have these distractions while I am working. Work email is for business only.

      Upon receiving this complaint, we reviewed the details regarding the consumer still receiving marketing emails after unsubscribing. The consumer reached out to Fan Services and was unable to receive a timely resolution. We are sincerely sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. We were unsuccessful at reaching the consumer via phone, however, we have emailed the consumer to advise of the following:
       
      The email provided did not have any active subscriptions. We also sent the consumer a screenshot and instructions on how to unsubscribe directly within the last email received. 
       
      We greatly appreciate the feedback and will escalate the information to the appropriate department for further review, as we are always looking for ways to improve the online shopping experience for our customers.

      Better Business Bureau: 

      Although I emailed the company back and received no confirmation and although my complaint was precisely due to the instructions that they sent (Excerpt: ...'click Unsubscribe') had already been performed MULTIPLE TIMES with no effect, I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********* and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. If further emails come I will see through with another BBB Complaint. 'Unsubscribe' should work the 1st time, every time.

      I attended the All Star Game and purchased a defective jacket on 7/19/2022 at 10:09am at a physical store. The jacket was then returned to the store. I was supposed to receive a refund, but Capital One charged me for the refund transaction.

      I called Capital One and filed a dispute. They informed me the transaction type sent to them was a purchase and not a refund. I am confused as I have the receipt showing a refund.

      In turn, I was charged double and due to a processing error. I would like to receive my original refund of $109.50 and the refund of $109.50 from the error making a total amount due to me of $219.
