I PURCHASED A PART (WATER CAP) FOR A STEAM MOP ON SHARK'S WEBSITE APPROX DATE SEPT 8TH 2021. I ENTERED MY INFORMATION AND CREDIT CARD THEN THE WEBSITE CRASHED. I NEVER RECEIVED CONFIRMATION OF MY ORDER. I VIEWED MY BANKING TRANSACTIONS AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A CHARGE PENDING FOR THE AMOUNT OF THE PART. THEN I PHONED CUSTOMER SERVICE THE SAME DAY TO FOLLOW UP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT ASSIST ME BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ORDER NUMBER GENERATED. I WAS FORCED TO PLACE AND PAY FOR ANOTHER ORDER FOR THE PART. I MUST HAVE PLACED A TOTAL OF 5 OR 6 PHONE CALLS TO EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM WITH NO RESULTS, THE LAST PERSON I SPOKE WITH ON SEPTEMBER 24TH, CLAIMED TO BE A SUPERVISOR AND HE PROMISED ME A REFUND FOR ONE OF THE ORDERS OF $10.70 WITHIN 3 TO 5 DAYS DUE TO THEM FORCING ME TO PLACE ANOTHER ORDER AND CHARGING ME TWICE. IT WAS NEVER NECESSARY TO BE CHARGED TWICE. TODAY IS OCTOBER 8TH AND I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A REFUND FOR MY FORCED UPON ORDER.Business response

My robot has always had problems working consistently and required tinkering with frequently to get it to work. Now the unit will not work no matter what I do to troubleshoot. I told the agent exactly what was going on and what I have tried, but instead he decided to waste my time and repeat the same things yet again that have already been done with no added benefit or thought process.Then he said it needs replaced and that I can pay $25 for shipping and return and need to move the old accessories from my current unit. I'm dissatisfied with that solution. I've had vacuums and other electronics that have had issues under warranty and have never been charged.Either I'm given information for local service center or I am sent the replacement.There is nothing stating a specific fee in the paperwork or box that I got with the unit and there would be no need for me to think I would have to pay anything if the product is defective.Business response

I purchased a shark vacuum on 6/26/2021 at ****** (model UV850). I wanted to purchase replacement foam filters for the unit to have on hand. This company has sent me the wrong filters 3 times. Now I am being told they would have to replace the entire unit w/ a different model b/c this one is old. I am happy to exchange however they want me to cut the power cord prior to me getting the replacement. I cannot afford to go w/o a vacuum for **** days w/ 2 long hair dogs and allergies. I have to vacuum every other day. I am happy to go to a store and give them old one and they can send back to shark or cut cord once I have replacement on hand. Company refuses to work w/ me. Poor customer service. I can't get a hold of anyone at corporate office. I want a resolution to this issue.Either give me a new one and then I can cut cord on unit or give me a refund.Business response

Good Day ************,
We are sorry to hear you are dissatisfied with your experience as customer experience is important to us at **********************.
The warranty procedure generally requires the unit be sent back before a replacement is sent. However, due to the current pandemic we are asking customers to simply cut the cord and dispose of their current unit. We will make a one time exception to have your replacement sent first. Please reach out to customer service to have this set up. Any refunds would need to be addressed with the original store of purchase.

Date of incident: September 28, 2021 Reference to: Warranty On Product and Billing. I called Shark customer service in regards to the floor nozzle not working. I bought the vacuum back in January of this year (2021). I was aware about the 12 month warranty Shark's usually have, since this isn't the first product have own. However, this was the first time I had to use the warranty.I gave the agent the model number and serial number, even showed it to her during the video call. The agent clearly stated that the part was not covered under the warranty and I had to pay the full price for the part which was $89. I was confused but I needed the replacement part. I went a head and paid. After the call had ended, I called back and spoke to another agent what was stated before about the warrant was true. He run the model number again and said that the part was covered and he would started the process to refund the difference. A week later I'm being told, a refund can't be done.Business response

On Sept. 21, 2021 my wife, *********************** ordered a Shark IQ robot vacuum cleaner. Upon arrival we both decided not to keep the vacuum, in fact it was never taken out of the box. Three times we called the company asking for return authorization and mailing address. We have never received one even though m wife was on the phone for 1 1/2 hours the second time, passed from individual to individual and even cut off. There is a 90 day return policy on the vacuum. We are both elderly, I am 79 and my wife 77 and we feel we are being taken advantage of. This company should be held accountable.Customer response

The response you received from the Shark Company is untrue. They did try to send me an authorization return prepared label twice, which I could not download. The File would not open. I asked that they mail it to me which they would not. So without an authorization label I returned it to the warehouse with a cost to me of $51.19. They maybe should be aware of that. ************* and follow up is terrible. We contacted that company a total of 7 times, my wife spending over an 1 1/2 hours at one time. We are both in our late 70s and the mental abuse for se was very hard.

Called CS on 9/14/21, finally reached *********** explained to them that my Shark Robot wasn't charging or powering up after only 5 weeks of use. By the time she entered info, asked others, etc. she asked to do a video call where she could see the unit, it had been 40+ ******** had to pickup my kids from school. I told her I'd call her back when I was back home & did so. She connected to an *********** was video to see unit & "test things out". Seemed SUPER weird to me. Anyways, she determined it was the unit & would replace it since it was practically brand new. She took all my ******** asked about a conf email, she said I'd get one shortly. Well, almost a month later, still no email or new unit. So, the past few days I've tried calling the same number 50 ********** either disconnects or goes to dead air. I finally found a random number off a website & got a guy who "had to transfer" me & hung up on me. It all seems VERY sketchy to me, was I even talking to Shark CS or some hackers?!Business response

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 just want to add though that I do think its interesting that the only reason I got the new product shipped was because I submitted an inquiry through BBB. I find it ironic that my product happened to be shipped out the same day I made the complaint. Either way, they did send me a new product and Im grateful for that. I just wish I didnt have such a salty experience with, until now, has been a great product and company.

I have a Ninja blender BL487T that was purchased in Dec last year.The problem is the blade is leaching an awful burned smoky odor into my smoothie. After spending half an hour chatting with customer service and sending pictures of the unit base, I was told the blade needs to be replaced. But the 1-year warranty does not cover this part. This is unacceptable. One of the reasons I purchased your blender and not Nutribullet was your warranty.I remember calling in Nov last year about the warranty before purchasing your blender and was told the blade is covered under the warranty and there's no shipping charge. I don't know when you have changed your warranty. You should honor the blade warranty.*********************** ****.ellenn-************Business response

It would turn on odd hours of the night without a timer, not picking up dirt, would stop out of no where in the middle of cleaning when the battery was charged.Customer service instructed me to reset which i did, still didn't work. My vacuum is under warranty still, the woman told me I had to PAY $38 dollars for a part...but I thought this was a warranty? I e-mailed the *** 2x without a response.
