      I order the product from this company and never received a confirmation of order. My credit card was charged but even after a month no confirmation ordered was received or a shipping date of product. They have no working customer service number. I had to join ******** to send and email to company. Over a month and a half later someone responded to tell me it was in back ordered and that I should not have disputed the charge. As a result they were not going to be sending me the product.

      I placed my order on February 26 totaling over $100. The website states that my order is processing and the money has been taken from my account. I have been given no updates about shipping information. I wrote an email to the supplier and have not received a reply. Today, I tried calling the phone number provided and it just rang and never reached a voicemail. I am becoming concerned that I need to start pursuing this claim with my credit card company.

      Hello, I have no emails from the customer and we do not provide customer service via phone as clearly stated in our terms and contact page. Since the order has not shipped and the customer has indicated they are disputing the charge I have cancelled and refunded the order

      I ordered a Rothco 24" Side Handle Nightstick Baton on January 17th ****. Their site states it takes 2-3 days to process and 7 days to ship. It has been well over that. They can't be reached by phone and I've emailed them twice with no response. The purchase amount is $38.98, which includes a shipping cost. I have not heard anything from this company besides an email confirming they received my order. The order number is ******. I would like my order shipped or a full refund asap.

      This order has been shipped as of 2/3/24. Our website gives estimates on shipping times. Changes can occur due to circumstances like weather and staffing. I apologize we have no communication from this customer via email and our phones have been out of service due to a service outage. If the customer requires additional assistance they may email me directly at ****@ mps-outfitters.com

      I myself have been in constant contact with the customer about this order. I even replied to emails on the weekend. Since the customer has requested a refund we find it in both our interest to cancel and refund the order. I will do so without delay.

      I ordered 2 knives from this company about a month ago, after having trouble with not being able to track the order and the order not arriving when it was said to be I tried to email the business several times with no response, I also called several times but no one answered the phone. At this point I would just like to cancel the order and receive a refund- since they did charge my card.

      Business response

      12/23/2023

      The customer ordered items that are restricted from shipping to their location. They were notified via email to contact us with authorization. I do see one email from them asking for a status and it is true we did not respond. I have canceled and refunded the order.

      Ordered a Knife on 11/04/22 and received a confirmation email and the charge to my credit card the same day.I have received no further status or contact from MPS Outfitters after 3 email requests and 3 voice messages to them. I would like my knife delivered soon, or have the charge returned to my card.

      Business response

      12/01/2022

      Good Morning, 

      Our apologies for the delay in our response. I do not have any communication (emails) from the complainant. I do see one voicemail that was received but was not returned. I understand the concern. The item ordered is a very difficult item to keep in stock. Our stock was sold before the order was placed and our stock level updated. Since this has reached the level of the BBB I will cancel and refund this order immediately.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. Although the owner's response that he received no emails or voice messages from me is an absolute lie.

      MPS Outfitters is an embarrassment to the *** community, and I will be letting my colleagues know not to buy from them.

      Sincerely,
