I am submitting this complaint due to repeated failures by **** customer support to correct the warranty status of two Bose Soundbar 550 units I purchased from *********** on March 1, 2025. Despite multiple chats and follow-ups, the warranty continues to show as expired in my Bose account, which is incorrect.Product Details:Soundbar 1: Serial #***************** Soundbar 2: Serial #***************** Purchase Date: March 1, 2025 Retailer: *********** Expected Warranty Coverage: Until March 1, *********************************************** early June 2025 and was told to email ************************** This email address is invalid and undeliverable. After no response, I reached out again via chat on June 10, and support confirmed that the warranty had been corrected. However, when I log into my Bose account, both soundbars still reflect "Out of Warranty" status.This has now become a pattern of misinformation and poor service. I have attached proof of purchase for both units and simply request that the warranty expiration dates be updated to reflect the correct 12-month period from the date of purchase.Requested Resolution:Update warranty expiration to March 1, 2026 for both devices.Provide written confirmation from *********** internal customer service processes to avoid ***************** a long-time customer, I am disappointed with the lack of support. If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will consider further action with relevant consumer protection channels. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I received a gift on May 5, 2025, a pair of Bose Soprano Headphone Sunglasses. I unsealed the package on June 7, 2025. I followed the Bose instructions: downloading their app to activate my product for first-time use. The product did not work. I searched the **** website for information and contacted customer service on 6/7/25 when I was instructed to purchase another Bose product to resolve. I was told that since I received the item as a gift, that **** will use the manufacturing date as the start of my warranty period. This is not outlined in their warranty posted on their website nor was it on the product packaging. (*******************************************)I contacted Bose again on 6/8/25 by chat and, per Bose advice, connected the product to my computer to check for a software update. The product showed "up-to-date" and again I was offered to purchase another product from **** to resolve. I asked if they could send me a new charging cable to try to resolve, but I was denied. The representative informed me that the product was discontinued and they no longer support the product. On 6/8-9/25, I contacted Bose through ******** Messenger when I requested warranty information and where the warranty outlined that it begins at manufacturing. The agents refused to answer me. I explained that the USA has laws about deceptive business practices and asked again where on the package is a customer informed that the warranty begins at manufacturing so they could be an informed buyer. I eventually was sent a link to their website where the warranty is posted. The **** written warranty policy does NOT state that the date begins at manufacturing. The warranty also does not require a receipt, which I do not have as this was a gift. The warranty DOES extend to recipients of gifts, however Bose refuses to honor their warranty. This product was discontinued, which tells me that **** is also aware of known issues with this product that they deceptively continued selling.

**** has advertised free 2 day shipping and continued to ship ground shipping speed and not fulfill the advertised service. This has been going on for almost a full year and Ive experienced it twice now.Their customer service argues the fact claiming shipping speed is part of the order processing time and ground packages are delivered in 4-7 business days. This is misleading and I consider it a fraudulent advertisement.

Absolute disrespect & malicious behavior by bose toward this former future long term customer simply trying to purchase Noise Cancelling EarBuds for my special needs son. On May 21 2025 i made an online purchase thru bose for ****** after 10% discount, i made a mistake and entered the wrong card and immediately chatted to **** customer dis-service PLEASE HELP & simply edit payment to correct card OR cancell order & help me place new order with 10% discount. This has been a 15 day nightmare so far, with dozens of multi hour chat & phone contact and always getting promised to escalate to a special team who would resolve it promptly & contact me within 24 hours. So far 15 days & NOT ONE CONTACT by **** CORPORATE. ********* bose, you lost a brand new customer over greedy inability to help a customer resolve what should have been 2 minor issues. I told them i would contact BBB if needed and yes it was needed indeed.

to me

Hi ****.

I am just reaching out to you on behalf of the **** **************** regarding your recent experience with Bose customer service.

Firstly, I would like to apologise for the experience you have had. We pride ourselves on our customer service and it is clear that we have failed you in this instance. I thank you for bringing this to our attention and it will be thoroughly reviewed with feedback being given to the agents involved. While it is generally true that the 10% off codes are automatically generated when you create an account, the agents in questions should have offered to place a new order for you and apply the 10% discount to the order, which they have the empowerment to do.

I can also see that a full refund for your order cleared our systems on 06/03, and I have attached the proof of this to this email for your records. Please note that this can take 5-7 working days form this date to show in your account, if you do not see it in your account within that time frame, please do not hesitate to let me know. A return was also initiated on your order on 06/01 but this label has not been used yet. If you would prefer to keep the earbuds from this order, please feel free to do so with our apologies for what has happened. You will not be charged for them.

As we only have a limited time to resolve BBB complaints, please let me also know if you are happy for me to close it off from our end as resolved. If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to respond to my email, or let me know the best day time to give you a call and I will endeavour to do so.

Kindest regards,
*****

Global Resolutions Team /////////////////////// To bose nonsense team. Clearly most of your staff, inclusive of the
writer i am responding to are incompetent idiots, ( i use this term in
its legitimate meaning & not to be derogatory in any way as it is
completely factual, excepting the 2 kind agents on my final day of
chat & phone who were empathetic, this is an accurate depiction of ALL
other bose employees including yourself who who do not even grasp
basic facts that i never received the EarBuds & the order was
cancelled the same day, 15 days prior to refund & no one Ever respond
until AFTER BBB COMPLAINT ). Even after a thorough review because of
my complaint to the BBB Better Business Bureau, bose does not have a
grip on facts. Shame upon bose lack of comprehension. NEVER have i
received the EarBuds so How would you even state i could keep them ?
The only reason i clicked RETURN ITEM on the website order was because
no one at bose was responding & i did not have any other course of
action other than contacting BBB, so i hoped it would start some
action. However all it did was cause you to ****** yourselves &
falsely portray i had them to return, but no, i was trying to activate
bose to return my money for a cancelled order that you can clearly see
in your own tracking was stopped shortly after leaving bose, DAYS
AFTER ORDER WAS CANCELLED, and Never reached me Ever. Do not act all
gracious when you know bose has been nothing other than greedy,
selfish & unfriendly toward this once promising long term customer. My
son never got the bose EarBuds i had promised him, all because of bose
nasty way of acting as if only bose matters, well the customer
matters, otherwise bose would cease to exist. I know you self adoring
bose employees who treated me so badly, believe you are too big to
fail, however ************* and PanAm, ALL thought that as well.
Hopefully bose fails due to this widespread customer *********** also.
Sincerely, **** Bennett ... ( a copy of this letter will be
provided to the BBB )

Hi ****.

Thank you for your reply and the clarification that the order was never received. With the complexity of your case, I did miss that part and assumed that as a return was initiated that you had received the order, which was my error.

Going forward I would be happy to offer you a Free of charge pair of earbuds for your son and to restore some faith in Bose as a company. Please let me know if you would be happy for me to send these out and I will do so with expedited shipping.

Kindest regards,

Global Resolutions Team //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Hello Arron @ bose Global Resolutions Team. Thank you for sensibly seeing this for the facts, and admitting imperfections, as i too did with the mistake i made of having my incorrect card listed on initial purchase. You & only 2 others, one chat & one phone, were empathetic in any way to my plight. I contacted **** immediately just to change payment only. And no one helped & all of them said they were unable to put the original 10% on my new order, so i was forced to go 15 days and ultimately contact BBB for help as they do help when there is no alternative. I hope you see how truly stressful this has been in what should have been simple. The original order could have been modified that night, but above all it could have been stopped. To force shipping recall and still no contact multiple times over 15 days is beyond unprofessional, and made me feel so helpless. I wasted literally dozens of hours trying to resolve this over the multiple weeks, and yes i do believe my son deserves the bose EarBuds i showed him in a picture and promised him were on the way, so i accept your offer to send them to him free of charge. Finally i feel vindicated in my efforts here to find resolution. Sincerely, **** Bennett ...

I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does satisfy my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint #********. I understand that by choosing to accept the business response that my complaint will be closed as resolved.

I sent in my Bose Soundbar 500, Bass Module 500, remote, power cord, and HDMI cable for service. When my return package arrived, only the soundbar was included. The Bass Module 500 was missing, and I have been in contact with Bose about this issue for over a month.They agreed to send me a replacement remote, power cord, and HDMI cable, but they claim they do not know where the Bass Module 500 is. Despite numerous phone calls and follow-ups, I am continuously told the case is on a high priority list and has been escalated yet no real progress is ever made. I am always told to wait another 48 hours, only to get the same response when I follow up.Bose has failed to communicate with me unless I reach out first. I have not received any proactive updates via phone or email. I believe I have given them more than enough time to resolve this issue. I feel I am being given empty reassurances while my property remains lost.I am seeking a full replacement for the missing Bass Module 500 or a refund for the value of the unit.

I had paid duties on a product that arrived from the **. I was supposed to receive a refund for the amount of $126.00 and got an email on 19th March, 2025 saying that the check was sent out. I did not receive the check a month later. I called Bose again and said that a signature was required by the back office and then the check would be sent out. I got a voicemail confirmation to that effect. 2 weeks later and the refund check has still not arrived.

On 12/14/2024 I sent my Bose soundwave radio in for repairs on the cd player paying $112.97 for shipping label and repair. **** ref# B002228949. It would take up to 8 weeks to repair. January 16, 2025 I was told the radio was being repaired. On February 6, 2025 I was told the radio was ready to be shipped. After many phone calls and chatting on the Bose web site I don't have any answers to what happened. I keep being told that my case is being escalated. I wrote to corporate and received a e-mail telling me the same thing they are looking into it. A replacement is very costly. Can you help me get my radio back?

Im filing this complaint on behalf of my grandfather, who has dementia and is not able to manage complex communications. He originally ordered the Bose A30 headphones as a gift, and the order included a free pair of earbuds. Unaware that the earbuds were a promotion, my grandfather mistakenly returned them, believing they were shipped in error. Due to confusion and miscommunication, I later purchased another A30 set for him through ******, assuming the original one never arrived.Upon discovering the duplicate, we reached out to Bose to return the original A30 headphones. They provided us with a *** return label (tracking number: 1Z4019RY9095840155) which was used and shipped nearly two weeks ago. However, the tracking has shown no updates, and the package appears to be lost in transit.I have contacted Bose multiple times, and each representative gives me conflicting information. Some claim its being investigated, others say to wait longer, and nobody has offered a clear resolution. As this is now affecting a senior with cognitive decline and has caused undue stress and financial confusion, I am extremely disappointed by Boses lack of support.The original order number is B002619956. I am seeking a full refund or replacement for the lost return, and a clear resolution from Bose. If this is not resolved promptly, I will be proceeding with a credit card chargeback.

I know that expecting all my items to be replaced is a little much but your agent did tell me that they could replace all of the items that were lost. As of right now I will stand firm as your agent told me this and I expect Bose to honor their agent's word and they would replace at least some of the items free of charge.

I had a warranty claim #B002675332 due to the device's microphone no longer worked. I filed this warranty online and received tracking #1Z4019RY9091908394 which was delivered to Bose on 04/17/2025. According to Bose, this order was cancelled, although I had no communication indicating such. For some reason, Bose is not able to send me the replacement of the headphones that were sent back until it's investigated via their escalation case #******** which was opened 04/23/2025. My last communication with Bose 04/28/2025 is that I just have to wait with no general guideline to follow. I would like to receive the replacement headphones ASAP.

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.
