I placed an order using Coke's online platform on Wednesday October 2nd. They too the funds out of my account immediately. My order was supposed to arrive Friday the 4th. I contacted my *** to ask where the order was to have him tell me the 11th. He had me on every two weeks, which I did not ask for.I called customer service to get reimbursed only to get redirected to a dead number. I want the Coke's cooler removed from my shop and I want the $423.05 reimbursed for failure to deliver

I have been ordering custom Coke products for over 9 years. My previous purchases included a name that was already approved therefore it was no reason for me not to think my recent purchases was going to be initially denied. Once I called to discuss, the representative confirmed that my secondary names were approved before and she was going to get it approved so that I could move forward with my order. I received the email confirmation that I may go back and place my order again for the two custom cans to be completed. I called back to confirm that I was not goi g to be charged another $9.99 since they approved of one of my custom can. I was advised that I had to pay another $9.99 if I wanted my initial two custom can order to by fulfilled. This makes absolutely no sense when all three custom cans should have been approved. I am asking for the $9.99 to be refunded back to me since there was nothing added or changes from my initial order and I already paid the $9.99 shipping cost. Original order number **********

I placed an online order on monday 8/19/2024. the order was personalized coke cans and a gift bag. I paid for overnight shipping due to the order being a birthday gift. the birthday is on sunday 8/25/24. i received an email alerting me that my order was delivered 8/21/24. ***** arrived and left my package but only left the gift bag. I checked my email and noticed there was 2 different tracking numbers provided. I checked the tracking for the coke cans and tracking shows that the package is in transit but shows a scheduled delivery date of next week wednesday 8/28/24 (not next day). I called contacted coke consumer care via phone and I was told that someone would get back to me in a couple of business days. since the birthday is coming up soon, cant afford to wait "a couple of days" for a response. I contacted ***** and I was told that the package was sent out "GROUND" and not "NEXT DAY". I attempted to pay to have it rerouted and upgraded to "NEXTDAY" but I wasnt allowed to, ***** said it has to be done by the shipper. I then received an email from coke with a refund for the NEXT DAY shipping I paid for. the problem isnt the money for the shipping. the problem is getting the package on time. me receiving the package after 8/25/24 is pointless. I dont need the package after 8/25/24. instead of someone contacting me telling me " dont worry we will contact ***** and have it rerouted "NEXTDAY" OR " dont worry we will re ship a whole new order and get the shipping right this time. (there is still time to receive the order on time) I instead get a email with a refund for the shipping I paid. that doesnt fix cokes mistake. since nobody was able to help me and the days are now crucial, I placed a whole new order and once again paid for NEXTDAY shipping on 8/21/24. the first order is now irrelevant since it wont be delivered until next week. now I had to pay double in an attempt to receive my order. i havent even received notification for the 2nd order.

Thank you for sharing the message from ************************* regarding Cokestore.com orders. We have looked into his orders and appreciate the opportunity to respond. Unfortunately, the orders were not shipped with the selected shipping method and this resulted in the orders arriving past the expected delivery date. We apologize for the inconvenience and have notified the managers of this error. We have processed full refunds on both orders.

We visited World of Coca-Cola on 4/28/2024 at 4pm. Prior to entering we asked if all of the exhibits were open until closing or 6pm. The #1 on my family list was to take a picture with the Coke Polar Bear, but were turned away at 5:15 and were told you were shutting down for the night. We communicated we were told all exhibits were open until 6 and there were no signs that stated this specific exhibit closed early. I requested the ability to come back the next day or a later time or allow us to take a picture . We were told no and it was up to their discretion to close at anytime. I don't believe it was The World of Coca-Cola intention to mislead customers but as you can understand this is an issue. When you pay $72 to enter and were mislead is a high concern. I have emailed The World of Coca-Cola with on 3 different times and they will not respond. so I had to resort to making a public complaint. I would like the ability to come back and have ********* honor their stated and written offering. Thank you *************************

On May 1st I purchased custom made ********* bottles for my father's 80th Birthday party. The website and customer service quoted that they may take up to 5 days to be created, and I have multiple emails stating that the whole process can take up to two weeks. My bottles were shipped May 15th, and arrived May 20th and missed the event. I phoned ********* to get a refund for my purchase as they didn't hold to their promises of delivery, and I was told a manager would call me back. It has been longer than 2 weeks and no one has contacted me. So, I just called again and was told by customer service there is nothing he can do, but that a supervisor would get back to me. I asked him when they would call me back, who would call me back, and what number they would be calling from. He said he had other calls to get too and hung up on me.

I uncovered property damage to my home on 1/25/** from failure of can/container packaging. Seven canned soft drinks completely or partially leaked out their contents, requiring the replacement of a kitchen cabinet which was damaged beyond repair. After contacting ********** I was informed that a small coded number printed underneath the cans was an expiration date after which they did not recommend using their product. There was no clearly labeled information on the container or the boxed packaging identifying this coded number as a packaged on date, expiration or use by date, or any suggestion that the container itself may fail after the printed date. The ********* representative suggested that they did not anticipate customers might store their products beyond the printed dates, and that the cans could have been inadequately coated on the inside to prevent the product from reacting with the metal can, causing microscopic leaks, or that the coating itself may have been dissolved by the product over time. I requested an investigation into the can failures, and filed a claim by phone, ref # **C06M017562, providing all requested packaging information to the representative. A CCMSI claim adjuster visited my home on 2/23/** to document the cabinet damage and inspect the 7 cans. These cans had 2 different codes (NOV2221CPD) and (APR**23CPC). Having received no response, on 3/20/** I reached out to the claim representative and received an email notification with copy of letter dated 2/28/** that they were unable to consider my damage claim because cans were out of date and that is what caused them to fail.I emailed the claims adjuster for CCMSI, ***************************, to please provide additional contact information, and that I wished to appeal this decision to Company officials. I have not received any reply to date. As a consumer I am concerned about inadequate labeling which does not identify a package failure warning, or possibility of dissolved coating contamination.

Evey Sprite Zero 16 Oz bottle we buy upon opening it explodes as if someone shook it. We buy 6 packs from ******** Publix or a single bottle from convenience store. It's not just 1 time. I am tired of getting drenched, cleaning the floor or car. I tried to call company only to made to feel stupid. ****** wanted numbers off current 6 pack. I didn't see any. She's saying it's on shoulder in color or clear. Keep tilting bottle. Finally got so frustrated threw bottle across basement. It's not just this 6 pack. It's every Sprite Zero we have ever bought. Asked for supervisor but none available. She said she would send coupons. I will no longer buy ********* products
