      Ive placed 2 orders over $200 within the past 48 hours that have both been entirely cancelled, due to out of stock items. none of the items i purchased are listed as out of stock, even though i was told by a customer service rep that on the first order 2 items out of 11 purchased were out of stock and CONFIRMED that none of the other items on the order were.

      I had placed a order via your website and it never came. The tracking is stating delivered but I never got the order. I keep getting told by customer service to wait without any help of trying to locate my package. I contacted the carrier several times and they just keep telling me to contact the company which has been a constant run around. This was ordered as a gift for this coming Saturday and now I not only am empty handed but also not getting any help what so ever. I would just appreciate a refund of my funds at this point/help regarding this manner.

      Went to Spencer's at ************** in ******* ** on October 30th 2021. Tried paying for purchases, card got declined so the lady tried doing separate transactions to use tap so she charged me $99 that transactions worked. Then realized I reached my spending limit why it wasn't working so I went to an ATM to pull out money and went back to pay in full for my purchases. In which she said the $99 would go back into my account the end of that day, it's been 5 weeks(35 days) and they just keep telling me another **** days or ***** days. And I'm quite frankly getting pretty frustrated that they keep doing this to me. It's not fair, I just want me money back that is owed

      I had stopped into Spencers with my seven year old grandson. He got excited to see Pokmon lunch bags. Initially I told him he couldnt get one because of the price. But I noticed the clearance tag with the price of $9.99. I told him it was on clearance. I noticed the damage and that the other one was also damaged. I pointed that out to him. He picked out the one that was more dirty than actually damaged after saying we could clean it. I took it to the counter. It rang up at full price. I pointed out the clearance tag. She said it didnt belong there and gave it a tug. She said she couldnt sell it for that price. On my way out I double checked the other lunch bags. The ones I looked at also had clearance tags. I pointed that out to her. She asked the employee who was at the door folding t-shirts if I had place the clearance tags on the lunch boxes. She proceeded to grab all of the bags that had clearance tags and took them away. How is that legal? That is bait and switch.
