I purchased this ************** split) unit via ****** which was sold by this seller on 11/02/24 which I received on 11/6/24. This item is shipped in 2 separate boxes one being the head unit and the other the condenser. Upon unpacking/inspecting the package at first they both seemed intact but upon further inspection during the installation I notice that the condenser had exterior cosmetic damage. I immediately contacted ****** prior to further installation. ****** reach out to the seller for a resolution or exchange. The seller requested images of the damage which I provided and determined that it was only cosmetic, offered a credit of $84.50 but ensured that the unit would function properly. After research this damage may have also cause the internal circuit board to malfunction. Long story short it malfunctioned after two months and a half. I contacted ****** who then contacted the seller on numerous of attempts but the seller is refusing to offer a refund. At the direction and instructions of Amazon I was informed to not contact the seller but them (******) to handle the situation directly with seller. ****** instructed to return the unit to the seller in which ****** provided me the return label which I've done. The seller now has the unit and my money. I have all communications/transactions as well as the *** receipt of return of the unit to the seller.Business Response

I purchased an item on June 17th listed on site as in stock and ships in 2 to 5 buisness days. I called after the changed ship date to the 26th and she said it should ship on the 27th and she would call me back with tracking never got call. Called again today after no call and order status showed shipping after July 15th. Rep told me it wouldn't be shipped till end of July. I requested cancelation and was told he did and would send a confirmation email I didn't receive one. I would like a refund and confirmation that it has been done. The do not stock items therfore should not state its in stock. This is deceptive marketing. Note they changed the web site showing in stock after my call so they know what they are doing. Fraud in its truest formBusiness Response

Thank you for reaching out to us with your complaint. Upon receiving your notification, our customer service representative promptly sent you the detailed instructions provided by the manufacturer to file a warranty claim.However, as per our return policy mentioned on our website at *********************************************************, customers are to notify us within 30 days for returns or replacements issued by Sylvane. Unfortunately, our records show that this purchase was made on 7/30/2023, and you did not inform us about this issue until December of 2023 in which your unit is the the manufacturer's warranty. ******* assigned to your case has been diligently working with the manufactuer on your behalf in an attempt to resolve this inquiry under the manufacturer's warranty. Please be patient while we wait for instructions from the manufacturer regarding a replacement.

I am rejecting this response because: The message from Sylvane is for the most part accurate except for the fact that my first attempt to get this problem resolved as directed was by emailing ********************** on Friday, October 6, 2023 at 07:12:28 PM EDT.
After I had sent multiple emails to this support email address (as instructed by Sylvane) with no response, I reached out again to Sylvane who repeatedly tells me that I must now deal with the manufacturer / shipper.
How am I supposed to deal with the manufacturer that wont respond to Sylvane leave alone me?
On November 14th, 2023 ***************** of Sylvane customer support wrote We have received your return request. My apologies to hear that you're having issue with the unit you've received. However, this particular product was shipped directly from the manufacturer, I will go ahead and get hold with the manufacturer on how to proceed and will get back to you as soon as I hear back from them.
I emailed ***************** back and told him I had tried to contact them 4 times already and ************ wrote back on 15 November 2023 Thank you for your email. As much as I would love to assist you further, unfortunately, it is beyond our 30-day return policy. Please contact the manufacturer directly for warranty concerns however, we only have email for them and no phone number.
We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Sincerely,
Mark
Almost a month later on 11 December 2023 Sylvane provided me a phone number to call in an email that said: Thank you for your patience and for bringing your concern. My apologies for the delayed response. As per our supplier, kindly try this phone number for warranty concern *****************. I hope this email finds you well.
Calling this phone number added insult to injury as it is a prank telephone number that announces Hello? And just disconnects!
I have purchased 3 of these units from Sylvane spending over $1000.00USD in total and I cannot believe this manufacturer warranty is nothing but a scam.
I invite the BBB to call the number that Sylvane provided me ***************** and see what you think. ************, I invite you to call this number you provided me and maybe you will more clearly understand my frustration. If Sylvane is instructing its customers to contact the manufacturer for help then Sylvane MUST be responsible for their association with the manufacturer.

Hello Valued Customer,
As mentioned in our previous email, our agent **** is currently working with the manufacturer to address your inquiry. However, your inquiry was not forwarded to Sylvane within the specified return window. Our records indicate that this purchase was made on 7/30/2023, and you did not inform us about this issue until a few months later. Consequently, this inquiry falls under the manufacturer's warranty, as it exceeds the 30-day return window provided by Sylvane. Sylvane's return policy can be viewed at the following link *********************************************************. We will be updating you once we hear back from the manufacturer with a resolution. If you have any further questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Kind Regards,
Sylvane Customer SupportCustomer Answer

Complaint: 21089070
I am rejecting this response because: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE realize that I fully understand Sylvanes return window policy. Just because I didnt open the box and attempt to use the unit for two months after I received it that particular return option is no longer available to me through Sylvane, I GET THAT, but the replacement option under its WARRANTY (one year from date of purchase) is in full effect.
How can I make this any more clear? I am not looking for a monetary refund, I AM LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT UNIT THAT WORKS.
MAYBE its time for Sylvane to make a complaint with the Better Business Bureau regarding whoever your manufacturer is. IF I CANT CONTACT THE DISTRIBUTOR/Manufacturer by following the link as provided by Sylvane and Sylvane refuses to give me the name, address and phone number of this third party DISTRIBUTOR/Manufacturer then how am I to EVER address the problem with them?
Just telling me **** is working on it does not mean that the DISTRIBUTOR/Manufacturer will EVER get back to you! I NEED A REPLACEMENT UNIT. To keep telling me that youre working on it isnt a bit helpful nor is it appropriate customer service.
Sincerely,

My order number is SY6480D5774EECB. I placed an order from sylvane for 2 dehumidifier filters ****. I thought I was getting a good deal only to find out that I was being ripped off. They charged $40.79 for a single filter and gave me a 5% discount making my order $77.50. Once I placed the order, I just did a quick check and realized that the same filter was on Amazon for $25.99. There should be no reason for such a disparity in this economy. I tried calling to cancel but it was almost impossible to reach anyone. I tried using their online system and that was difficult as well. It ended giving me some weird authorization rather than the resolution I desired Before I knew it, they had shipped the items while I was attemptingto cancel. What I am asking for is for a price adjustment and not a refund, as the items arw already enroute to me. Sylvane should do the honorable thing and not overcharge me. This is so unfair and not a way to do business. If I had reviewed their BBB profile to see how they had treated customers, I wouldn't have ordered from them.I have attached proof that they are the same items. Please do the needful. I sincerely hope BBB can help me with this as I have a family to support. Any little bit goes a long way.Business Response

I purchased an expensive 5-year extended warranty that turned out to be (thus far) a complete fraud from Sylvane in 2019. They are the resellers of a product from a 1-star Yelp warranty product called New Leaf. As I've attempted to hold them accountable for selling me the fraudulent product and have requested they remove it from their business altogether, they have obsfucated, tell me they're going to return phone calls. They never actually return them but a CSR named ********************* (one of the people who refuses to speak via the phone) has been extremely helpful in acquiring a settlement quote from New Leaf, but New Leaf has refused to honor my acceptance of that quote (in more con man tactics) and Sylvane has decided to defend the reseller and its actions by claiming I didn't accept the offer (I have it on camera now). They also openly refuse to stop selling a product that openly defrauds its customers. I have wasted weeks of my life on this nonsense. I'm asking for a refund for the offer New Leaf refuses to let me accept plus the cost of the fraudulent warranty product itself plus tax ($183.05) as a pittance for wasting so much of my time and the attempts at retaliation/time-wasting/etc. Their behavior recently has been indefensible to the tune of way more than I'm asking for in terms of lost time. I'm also requesting that they stop reselling this fraudulent, deeply troubled product.Business Response

Hello,
In response to the submitted complaint, we are responding. My name is ******, and I have worked with **************. I've personally communicated with him over the past week or so to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. In my explanation to him, I made it clear to him that working with New Leaf can take some time. This is detailed in their communications with customers. However, I have gone above and beyond to get his complaint/warranty addressed immediately. As of now, per New Leaf, the settlement has been accepted by **************. Within the next few days, a check will be mailed. Please reach out to them for confirmation.
Thanks for the opportunity to resolve this inquiry.

Upon trying to reach them in the instance of ongoing fraud from the product they're reselling, ************ and his colleagues retaliated against me by deliberately torturing me with a hold line that either hung up on me or stayed static forever. ************ eventually revealed in an email communication that he had no intention of ever speaking to me via the phone even though I had requested it more than a week prior. For that action and the hours upon hours of wasted time and effort that resulted in the business retaliating against me, I'm requesting that they 1) dissolve their relationship with New Leaf because they are knowingly selling a fraudulent product and 2) pay me $686.50 for my incurred losses based on the fraudulent warranty, or if the claim check from New Leaf does in fact arrive and clear in a timely fashion, I'm requesting no less than $183.05 from Sylvane for the cost of this deeply troubled warranty product and tax as a pittance for being retaliated against for attempting to get answers about the apparently fraudulent product they sold me.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because it doesn't address a deliberate, institutional pattern of retaliation carried out on a consumer who was just trying to get answers. My original complaint contains documents of how openly rude, retaliatory and disingenuous Sylvane can be. They should absolutely not be allowed to do business in this state (CA), so I will be seeking refuge in the *************** of Affairs next if my complaints are not addressed.

Complaint: 20031801
I am rejecting this response because it doesn't address the gross institutionalized retaliation that Sylvane participated in, evidenced by the documents I submitted, because they didn't want to respond to my ongoing issues with their extremely incompetent warranty provider. It took weeks to get a proper response. Until that retaliation is addressed, no dice. Sorry, this is no one anyone should be doing business with, anywhere in the country when there are alternatives like big-box stores willing to double warranties and offering generous 90+ return policies. DO NOT USE SYLVANE. GO ELSEWHERE. ALSO, BUY UNION.

My wife, *****, purchased 2 Blueair filtration units from this company, 1 Blueair Classic 500/600 series and 1 Blue Pure 211+. These units were purchased online and were shipped to our home address on 9/9/20, supposedly with 5 year warranties. The fan control on the Blueair Classic 500/600 unit has failed. Seeking a repair/replacement resolution, I attempted to contact their Customer Support via phone on 3/15/2023, but never able to connect with a person, sent an email to their Support site. A reply was received on 3/17/23 requesting the serial number, shipping name and address, and proof of purchase. We were able to provide the following via photos sent of the unit and the packaging labels on the shipping carton itself (which I still have): the serial number, the shipping name and address and the ship date of the units which are all listed on the packages shipping labels. As this unit was purchased online, we did not receive a receipt. The following message was then received on 3/23/23 (Blueair)Mar 23, 2023, 15:42 CDT We are sorry, but without the proof of purchase, we are unable to verify your unit's eligibility for warranty coverage and provide a replacement. If you could locate a proof of purchase and respond to this email with it, we can continue with processing the warranty.I contend that the photos of the carton shipping labels which we emailed should stand as proof of purchase. They list my wife's name, our home address and shows the unit was shipped on 9/9/20 which places it well within the warranty period. Therefore, based upon their response, on 3/23/23 I notified them to stop automatic filter deliveries until such time as this issue has been resolved satisfactorily. Any assistance you could provide would be very much appreciated in resolving this issue. Please contact me should you require any additional information.Regards,****** Credit ************Business Response

Hello ******,
Thank you for reaching out about your warranty issue with the Blueair Classic 5000/600 series. We are sorry to hear that you have had difficulty in this regard. Our records show no communication from you regarding this inquiry. It appears that you have been in contact with someone at Blueair as they require the serial number on the back of the unit for warranty repairs and a copy of your receipt.
We understand this is an inconvenience and will do our part to help you resolve the warranty claim. A copy of the sales receipt was sent to your wife's email on the day the purchase was made which is what the manufacturer is requesting. Attached below is a copy that you will need for the reaplacement or repair. Please let us know if your claim is not reloved after submitting this information to Blueair.

i bought a ********** ***** BTU Dual Zone Mini-Split Heat Pump 12k+12k dual pump a couple of months ago. then it was finally installed my licenced HVAC installer attempted to turn it on only to find the unit faulty. he spend several hours trying to debug it to no avail. i called sylvane to let them know. all they did was shrug, saying its been past 30 days.i understand not allowing returns after 30 days but they should REPLACE faulty units they sell. i shouldn't have to deal with the manufacture and pay the extra charges accrued for the install because of this.totally unacceptable. will not be shopping at sylvane ever again.Business Response

BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
