My wife and I ordered 60 KN95 masks from this company in January. The order was for 3 packages of 20 masks each. The company quoted a price of $1.15 per mask for a total of $69. This amount was charged to our ****** account (plus a large amount for expedited shipping) and the masks were shipped about 10 days later. What arrived in the shipment was 3 packages of 10 masks each, for a total of 30 masks, which comes to $2.30 per mask. I have sent the company 3 emails over the past 3 weeks asking them to rectify this problem. Each time I received an auto reply saying that they would get back to me, but they never have gotten back to me. Attached is the shipment detail posted on their website, the bottom of the attachment shows the quantity ordered (60) and the price per mask ($1.15) that should have been charged. It shows also the order number; note that the order was placed in my wife's name.Business response

I placed an order with the ******* of ******* 5, 2022 for 100 KN95 masks and 5 at home rapid antigen COVID tests, due to the lack of availability of these items at stores in my area. The anticipated receipt date at the time I placed my order was ******* 10, 2022. On ******* 24, 2022 I followed up with the business as my order was still listed as "awaiting fulfillment", and shortly thereafter received a shipping notice. When I received my order on ******* 27, it only included one rapid antigen test. I emailed the ******* that same day to ask for a refund of the money I paid for the additional four tests as they were now available in stores near me. I have followed up twice more and have received no response about the refund, or even if they intend to send the additional tests. Please note that in my supporting documentation the quantity on the antigen test product line item is 1 but the *** information indicates that the quantity of tests selected is 5.Business response

I purchased a product from this company on January 14, 2022. My bank account was charged for the product on January 18, 2022. I have not received shipping information or the product and it is currently February 7, 2022. All attempts to contact the business have failed. They do not return calls or emails. I am always asked to leave a message with managers. I cannot get ahold of anyone to help me. They have essentially stolen my money.Business response

Hello, and we are happy to assist. We are sorry to learn of the confusion. This order has shipped, and we have called the customer. According to our records, when the customer put items in the cart and placed this order, a shipping timetable estimate of 29 days appeared on screen. Our records indicate that the order was placed on 1/16/22, so we are within the estimated shipping timetable (today is 2/1/22). Thank you, and we remain available to assist the customer.Customer response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:[Your Answer Here]
They stated in their response it gave as estimated shipping of 29 days and ******** who left a voicemail said it gave an estimate shipping of February 7th and my order was January 16th so that is 22 days. I didn't see either of these dates only 10 days but if I did overlook that date it is still an issue that this evening I still haven't received an email with tracking information, as mentioned in voicemail transcription and order status states "awaiting fulfillment" the response to you (BBB) states order already shipped to consumer but I'm seeing no information stating this is true. Will double check my email in the morning for tracking info and check the website order status. Thanks for your help in trying to resolve this issue.In order for the BBB to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.

I placed an order at BonaFideMasks via the internet, but there was an error in the order. I noticed this upon receipt of my confirmation email from BonaFideMasks. I cannot reach anyone via the phone, and have emailed the company numerous times to cancel this erroneous order, beginning when I noticed the error. To date I have received no response at all from this company. At this point, I am concerned that the company is not legitimate as I can get no response.Business response

I placed an order for covid tests (#*******) two weeks ago and never received them. When I call the phone number listed on their website, no one ever picks up. When I email, they either don't reply or reply that "it will be shipped" or "has been shipped" when it has not. Even the tracking number shows that the items were not shipped. They merely created a shipping label and didn't bring the items to the shipper. All these games makes me no longer trust them. I have asked countless times to please cancel and refund and they keep ignoring my emails. It seems like the items are not in stock and the company isn't being upfront about it and keeps misleading customers.Business response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:Your response does not resolve my dispute. The order arrived a month late and there was no communication on your part to inform me about the delay. In fact, the only time your office responded was to provide me with false and misleading information claiming that my order had been sent when it had not been sent. I am disappointed and want to be fully reimbursed for the extreme delay. Feel free to send me a shipping label and I will have your items shipped back to you. Your company should honor a reasonable delivery timeframe. If you cannot, you should inform your clients giving them genuine information.
You have forever lost my trust.

Hello, and we have spoken with the customer. We are processing a refund for her. We apologize for the confusion and also note that this was an international shipment, which requires additional steps and clearances from a shipping perspective.Customer response

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:While I appreciate the refund, the reason given by the business to explain the delay is disingenuous. I ordered two different orders on the same day (one shipping to ****** and the other shipping to ***). Both orders arrived extremely late so international shipping does not justify that an order is more than a full month late. My biggest issue is that there was no response or communication from the business every time I have asked for an ETA. The only time I was given an ETA, I was given false information and the order did not arrive. The phone number listed on their website never picks up or is always busy. I asked multiple times to cancel my orders since they hadn't shipped. They were never canceled as requested.
If your company cannot honor their customer service, they should not take so many orders.
Thank you for the refund, but I will not be ordering again since you continue to spread misinformation even after we spoke on the phone and I explained what happened.
Thanks

1/20/22: I finally got to speak with someone at the company and they assured me the order will be sent on Monday 1/24/22. I am resolving this dispute at this time. I understand many businesses are working very short staffed and that is what was reported by the employee I spoke with. I am taking his word the order will be shipped out Monday and I will receive next week.
