  Order# ***** I placed the above order number on December 26 through fragrance outlet.com. I never received the order they charged me $115 for perfume and I never received it Ive made multiple attempts multiple emails and multiple online chats. They told me my order was so called delivered. But when you check the tracking number it shows delivered but no proof of delivery.. They keep telling me it was delivered but they dont have any proof that it was. I have made multiple attempts to try and have this resolved and no one gets back to me. I would like to be fully refunded for this order as it is going on three months and I have paid for some thing that I have not received

  Ordered two items from company earlier in February 2023. One of my items arrived but the second item was not delivered. When I contacted the company I was told they would look into it and provide updates. I reached back out for an update yesterday and was told that they would not assist me with the missing delivery, nor would they refund or replace my order although it has not arrived. The item was $91 and I feel this company does not provide any assistance to ensure packages are delivered and I want my money back for the missing/ non delivered item.

  Bought ************************* perfume for my fianc as a Christmas gift in December 2022. When she tried to put it on for the first time, nothing came out, the bottle is full and has not been used. Seems to be an issue with the sprayer. Contacted the store and they claim they dont sell that perfume anymore. They are not willing to do an exchange as I do not have the receipt. Just want a working bottle of perfume, they refuse to do anything about it. Would also be happy if they could fix the bottle.

  Good afternoon 

  I have attached my detailed communication to the *********************************, who filed the complaint.  Unfortunately, we were not able to find a transaction for the items that he has claimed to have purchased at the Fragrance Outlet at the Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls at all in the past 12 months.  He cannot produce proof of purchase, we don't carry the fragrance any longer as it was  on clearance at $10 about a year ago, and our records indicate that we did not sell any units of the fragrance that he claims to have purchased in the past 12 months.  I believe that he may be mistaken,  there is another fragrance retailer named Perfumes 4 U in the same center, where he may have made the purchase.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  I apologize for the misinformation provided in the original complaint. I was under the impression that that was made under the ************************* line. I was wrong. I also informed you that I was unsure of how I made the purchase as it was over a month ago, but I usually use my one of my credit cards when making purchases. I know the product was purchased at the Niagara Falls location in December 2022. I dont know how it was rang up by your employee, so if youre not finding it in the system, is it possible that it is due to employer? Maybe they rang it into something else? I know I paid more than $10 for the item and dont understand why youre making such a big deal of this if it is a $10 clearance item that could be easily replaced. when we spoke on the 18th, after calling me multiple times, and leaving multiple voicemails with in a 10 minute window basically harassing me while I was handling a work situation that this issue was no longer worth my time, and if you couldnt help me with that, I would just take my business elsewhere in the future. After that you got silent, and abruptly said okay bye and hung up on me. After returning to handling the work situation, I was dealing with. I received another three missed calls from you within a five minute. period. I called you back to see what was so urgent and you offered no reasonable solution. I then stated that I would not do business with the fragrance outlet anymore and ended the call. Sending you a photo of the not have been a big deal, however, you were asking for more information than that. Which I did not have immediate access to at the moment. Customer satisfaction is not your top priority, and it is obvious. I do not care for your lack of professionalism or condescending tone while handling this matter. As I stated yesterday I am no longer seeking a solution your company. I will just take my business elsewhere. Please drop the issue.

  Sincerely,

  Without a receipt I am unable to vet the customer's purchase.  **************************, was certain that he paid more than $10 for the fragrance that he purchased, which is why it was so important to obtain a receipt.  The product that he has identified (Attractive *****) is a clearance item and was selling for $10 per bottle in our stores, and is no longer in stock.   I had one of our analysts, search all transactions completed  in our Fragrance Outlet at the Fashion Outlets at Niagara Falls, and she was not able to find any transactions in that store for Attractive *****, in 2022 at all.  **************************, was certain that he paid more than $10 for the fragrance that he purchased, which is why it was so important to obtain a receipt.  We don't have any in stock in our warehouse to offer a replacement, even if I were able to vet his purchase.  
  

  There is another fragrance retailer at the Fashion Outlets of Niagara, with the name Perfumes 4 U, and I asked if it were possible that he purchased at Perfumes 4 U, but ************************** is certain that he purchased the fragrance in our store. 

  I called ************************** twice after we ended our call on 1/18, to ask if he would share a photo, because I thought there was a possibility that he had provided me with the wrong fragrance name since he was certain that he paid more than $10 for the fragrance in our store. The photo that ************************** provided confirmed that the fragrance that he purchased is the same item that was on Clearance for $10 in our store.

  We are wiling to make an accommodation to ************************** and refund $10.80 ($10 selling price + 8% sales tax) for the fragrance, although we were not able to validate that the purchase was made in our store. 
  

  I have requested a refund check in the amount of $10.80 be sent to *************************, to the address that was provided on his complaint (see below).  This process will take approximately 2 weeks to flow through our accounting system.

  Feel free to contact me if you need additional information.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  I Have told ***** that I am no longer seeking a resolution to this problem as there there is no reason to continue the back and forth. She has been rude throughout the whole experience. I am taking my business elsewhere in the future. I dont want the check or any more communication from her.
