#1-peiier Royal Elixirwas charged as auto-shipping and charged full price for it without my authorization.#2C-Wonder ********* ******* moto Jacket. I returned both jacket on February ******* they have failed to reimburse me for these items. When I called on March 5, 2025 the HSN CR told me they had received it on Monday and it would take 3 days for a refund. On March 9, 2025 I called and they said they didnt show any information on both jackets. HSN has become intolerable when ordering, they charge you full price when ask to do flex payments, they lie about situations on over charging and returns and not to mention taking wrong orders. Someone has to to fix this corporation and discipline their customer service representative because they all are incompetent. I hope that this situation will be fix because I want my money refunded.Business Response

King ********** mattress Set ordered 2-18-25. **** me a delivery range until 3/20. Received a txt from delivery company RXO ************ confirmed delivery for 3/4 between 1130-4:30. They never delivered the mattress on that day, or updated any txt - called them and they informed me, it was not deliverable today because it was out of their route way - called HSN explained no notification was given to me and I waited all day (took off from work). I was informed they could take 100. off and I could not cancel until the mattress was delivered and had to refuse it - I said they are not delivering the mattress, so how can I do that. It is now 3/6 at 4:30 which was the r/s date - again another day off and no mattress. I am livid with this company and have now clue how to get resolve, as they have no answers and will continue to reschedule me.Business Response

Complaint: 23030661
I am rejecting this response because: It was a major inconvenience to have taken a day off, and then not to have delivery delay notification that day, until I called myself to the delivery company. I did note you took 100. off - still was a major inconvenience to have been put out. And the delivery company was horrible, could not get the mattress up or down the stairs, picture fell off the off, my husband and I had to take the boxsprings down. All in all a very poor experience. I will not do any business with HSN again, your delivery company needs to be tweaked or changed, and the mattress is not up to par, as well.

I purchased a laptop computer on 3/1 for a special price associated with on televised promotion. I received notification of my purchase and subsequent shipping notification. on 3/4 I received an update stating "Were sorry this package has experienced a sortation delay. The package has been rerouted to the correct destination". Shortly after a second update stating: "The receiving business was closed and delivery has been rescheduled for the next business day." I live in a residential address. The last update stated: "Your package cannot be delivered to a P.O. box. We're attempting to obtain an alternate delivery address. / The sender requested that we return this package.". The address is NOT a P.O. box. I called HSN to attempt to resolve and they refused to replace the order because payment was made through ***** pay. Order ID **********Business Response

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding your order. We understand how frustrating it is to expect a delivery and not receive it as anticipated.
After reviewing your order details, we do not have record of this order shipping to a PO Box. However, it appears that the carrier deemed it undeliverable and it is currently in the process of being returned to us. Ultimately, due to the processing limitations with Apple Pay, we are unable to create an exchange for this order.
To promptly resolve this, I have issued a full refund for this order as of today. If you'd still like to receive your item, we encourage you to place a new order on ************************ at your convenience. Our customer service team is also available if you need assistance reordering and/or confirming the delivery address prior to finalizing your order.
We appreciate your understanding and patience.Customer Answer

On 3/4/25, went online to pay off my flex pay bill with HSN in the amount of $37.99 on two HP computer I had bought in November 2024. The order number of the first computer was # **********, and the second one was # **********. I was charge $ ***** on both of these items on my **** when the payment should have been $37.99 it was the last payment on both accounts.I have had to call customer service many times about being over charge for items I have bought on HSN and the prices being different than it should be. This seem to be an ongoing problem, and I shop frequently at this online store. I want HSN to stop over charging me for items and correct the problem when I call them. This happen in November 2024, on these same computers and now at payoff of the same item incorrect amount billed which is affecting my checking account due to wrong debits amount. ******* the customer service representative said she did not see the amount charge on her end.Business Response
Date: 03/06/2025
We sincerely apologize that you experienced this, and we understand your frustration. Ive looked at the orders in question, and this is what I found. Originally a different credit card was used for the flex payment and that is where the high authorization occurred. I also noticed you were able to speak to a supervisor who explained the high authorization process that is used for all our customers. Typically, authorizations fall off in about 3 days; however, it could take longer for debit cards or reloadable credit cards. I was able to submit a release funds action on the high authorization card. Please contact your financial institution to ask how long it takes them to receive our request to release funds.

Complaint: 23022235
I am rejecting this response because:This was the last payment on my flex pay on this item therefore no high authorization should have been made to my credit card especially since
it was the last payment. You have no right to continue to overcharge my account on Flex pays which should remain the same until paid off. I pay my flex pay a day before it was due, so I think someone in your online store is purposely taking money that is not theirs. Have someone with the authority contact me at ************** regarding the unauthorized charge to my credit card account in the amount of $67.49 x 2 = ******. The reason given why this happen is not a reasonable excuse. If I do not hear back from you by March 7, 2025, you give no other choice but to seek legal counsel regarding this matter and the CFPB.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We do show the payments received on 3/4/25 for $37.99/each for these two orders, and I see that the high authorization has been reversed as of 3/6/2025. For us to further research this issue and make any necessary adjustments, please provide a copy of your bank or credit card statement showing proof of the final charges for the incorrect amounts.

I ordered a sharp curling iron for my daughter for Christmas. I returned it because my daughter could not use it very well in her hair it was $250. The money was supposed to be mailed back to me the first time they mailed it to the wrong address and made me wait 2 weeks. Then I spoke to a Supervisor who was supposed to over night it to me actually I spoke to two different Supervisors who said the check was over nighted it was not. They both lied to me spoke to a third ********** who saw in the notes I was promised it to be overnighted it was in the notes and he did nothing but offer me $15 coupon.

I placed an order for beat wireless headphones and PAID the first payment for them. I paid $65.73 for the first payment and it's been charged on my credit card. I check on my order and it showed delivered. I looked and nothing was left. I contacted HSN by chat so I have the conversation documented and the agent didn't care. The agent stated there was nothing she could do until 3/2 and it was contact them then she disconnected. I have the screenshot of the conversation. Told her I went through video footage and nothing was delivered she still didn't care. I paid for these and now a customer has to wait???? Are you kidding me.Business Response

We sincerely apologize that your original order was not received, this is never the experience we wish for any of our customers to have. While it is ******************** policy to allow carriers additional time to deliver any order before issuing a refund/exchange for a package not received, in a situation that the order indicates delivery (as this one did) we are then able to do so.
After reviewing the order, I see that an exchange has already been created as of today (2/26/25), so the replacement order will be shipping out to you as soon as possible. Please do not hesitate to contact customer service with any questions or concerns about your replacement. Thank you for shopping with HSN and for allowing us the opportunity to resolve this matter.

I placed an order with hsn . I received the tracking number and notification that item was delivered. I called hsn because I did not receive the item. They confirmed address and sent another of the same. I received notification order was delivered. Called hsn again told them I did not receive the item . **** has sold out. I inquired if they can tell me were my item is going and they could or would not. The cust service person was very dismissive so I requested my account be closed. I called *** to inquire as to were my packages have gone and they informed me that I would need to reach out to the sender because the sender changed the address. And *** could not provide me with that information. I called hsn back because now Im concerned that whomever is getting into my account to change the ship to address has also information on my credit card etc. the cust service agent wants to assure me that is not possible but know one is checking to see who did what . And Im suppose to just except that no one could have access to my credit card when they will not even care enough to research who and how my information got changed twice and Im sure if I ordered again it would happed again.I firmly believe that hsn is aware that they have a problem and refuse to address it.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:
I have a number of items for several years delivered to that very same address from hsn. I have never ever had a problem receiving the items. I contacted *** and they have informed me that the sender(Hsn) is in fact the one who update/changed the address and they are not able to provide the address either item from my last two orders were sent. I would have to get it from the sender. hsn. It seems very convenient to point the finger at another company. I didnt inquire about a refund or the fact that I would not except the $10.00 credit you wanted to provide for the so called inconvenience. What im concerned about is the fact that my information has been accessed. And how are you managing it. And clearly you are not. That is the problem I have.

So why wouldnt hsn be able to reach out to the company on behalf of their customer and gather the information. You are saying they are the problem and they are saying you made the carnage and Im supposed to be ok with that. Some one is definitely not telling the truth.

Order # ********** I placed an order on January 24 for a 15.6 HP laptop. I needed this laptop for school because my classes were getting ready start. I was informed that I needed to make a down payment of $106 which was paid. I waited for my order to be processed an hour later. I have received an email stating that my order was canceled. Not sure of why my order was canceled so I contacted HSN. A young lady and customer service informed me that I needed to speak with their verification department to verify who I am it to verify my identity whichI was fine with that I called the number they gave me the person I spoke to was extremely rude. He to talk over me And then proceeded to tell me oh well you may need to purchase your laptop from somewhere else if she failed to verify my information she failed verify who I was. And continued to say that she could not help me. I called back to customer service. They told me to call back to the verification department because what the person I spoke to did was very wrong. I spoke another individual. She was very very rude began to yell at me. I had an overall attitude. I spoke with the supervisor about this a lady by the name of ****, left me a voice message. stating that she was processing my order to have it shipped out which I still have that voice message and that I will need to in to process my order. I called back in to HSN customer service the person that I spoke with tells me that I need to pay another additional $106 I informed her I have already paid $106. This was not what was told to me in the voice message to make another payment. Which I refuse to do. They never refunded me my money. I never received my ******** getting ready to contact my lawyer. If this is not resolved, or I dont receive my order. The verification department has the worst customer service I have ever experienced and they have very rude. I would never recommend this company to anyone and that is my honest opinion.Business Response
