On 10/23/23, order ********** was placed with Shoplet for 9 ea of Nexel Chrome wall mounting wire shelving, and it arrived for delivery 10/30/23. At that time, it was noticed we were shipped the wrong product, so I immediately contacted Shoplet to initiate an RMA, but it took 6.5 weeks of "numerous" emails and phone calls, speaking to Shoplet supervisors telling me my cases had been escalated and was marked as urgent, before they finally got a truck to pick up that incorrect product. The return arrived back at their warehouse 12/12/23, and I contacted them the following day asking when I would see the credit and was asked to give them time and they would follow up with me once the credit was issued. Over 2 weeks has gone by and I haven't heard from anybody at Shoplet so I called and was asked to give them ***** business for the credit and when I said that it's already been *********************************** New Years, I was given their same generic reply I've heard so many times before, give us '24-48 hrs' while we check with the warehouse about the credit and we'll get back to you. Again, 2 days later and shocking to say, no one from Shoplet has contacted me with an update. A 3rd party company, Global Industrial, shipped this on behalf of Shoplet, so my thought is they are waiting to get the credit from Global before they issue my credit, which is garbage. We returned the product and there is a signed POD noting no exceptions with the shipment, so Shoplet should issue my credit and work out any other issues between themselves and Global Industrial. As far as returns go, this should have been an extremely simple one to process vs turning into a 3 month disaster, though may be that's Shoplet's angle and being able to keep the customers money by frustrating them to drop it.Business Response

Hi,
We do apologize for the inconvenience. We saw that this has been returned and for all our returned products we are checking first if the items that were returned were correct and in the stated condition that's why it takes time for refund to be processed. We have processed a full refund on your account after thorough investigation.

On 10/30/2023 I ordered 4 cartons of Sanitizer and 4 cartons of Disinfectant on Order# **********. I received 8 cartons of Sanitizer. On November 3rd, I contacted Shoplet to let them know that they shipped the wrong product for half the order. They said I could return it, but I didn't have any boxes. I told them that I would keep the product and asked for the difference in price between the disinfectant and sanitizer, which is $84.12. They replied saying "We no longer offer price difference" and "order ********** is now past the allowed time to return". I am requesting that they either send me boxes to return the product that they mistakenly shipped to me or they can refund me the $84.12 price difference.Business Response

Since you are a valued customer, we processed a courtesy refund of $84.12 as requested.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved. I will note that they did not try to call me. I did receive emails and I replied asking them for another resolution since I didn't have a box big enough for the items and am not near a *** store. I was not going to purchase a box when they sent me the wrong product, they should've scheduled a pickup if they weren't going to accept that I would keep the product and just wanted a credit for the difference in price. You would think that this compromise over their mistake would be welcome to them since I'm actually saving them money from paying shipping to get their product back. I don't appreciate their response back, but they did credit me the difference in price so I am satisfied.Thank you for your help in this matter.

Order placed 10/2/2023. ordered 4 authentic xerox cartridges for ******** 315c copier. Every other website out of stock of CYAN cartridge. They listed it in stock. I purchased the 4 cartridges needed to make the copier work. No communication from SHOPLET. A box arrives with 3 of the 4 cartridges about 5 days later. The copier WILL NOT WORK WITH A MISSING CARTRIDGE. I contacted SHOPLET to arrange a refund on the unopened cartridges. They insist on a 25% restocking fee (In my case it will exceed $75) I requested they process a refund without the fee. They refused. Avoid doing business with these folks. They do not deliver what they promise and will make you pay for the mistake of trusting them. I have learned to trust my instincts and avoid companies like thisBusiness Response

I ordered calendars for Dist court on August 25 2023. (Order # **********). My order came a few days later but was missing seven items. over the last month I have contacted them for a total of over two hours and they "checked with the warehouse". the warehouse does have tracking information for the items I received therefore they are denying refunding the items that I was shorted. we are local government and I am responsible for every ***** spent. the customer service is horrible and they will not work with me at all. I told them that this is not fair since I do not have the items charged for and they just keep referring to the tracking numbers for the two boxes that did arrive. I need a refund for the amount that is shorted which is a total of $82.63. I am beyond frustrated with their terrible service and the fact that they are calling me a liar when I don't see why someone would try to steal a few calendars and go to such lengths defending it. I will no longer be allowed to use this vendor for services here at work. please tell me what can be done to rectify this. thank youBusiness Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved. I stand by the honest truth that I was shorted the original items and do not appreciate the overall response from the stating that they could not have possibly made an error. I did receive the reshipment and finally the items that were short originally. I would have preferred refunded due to having already ordered the replacements for the court reporters from a different vendor because Shoplet had originally claimed that they would refund me. At any rate I appreciate that the BBB was enough to get them moving in the right direction. going forward I will avoid using them as a vendor both at work and in my personal life. thanks for helping enforce such a simple thing as basic customer service.

Ordered 150 units of 24 pack batteries from shoplet.com via amazon. Upon receipt of a couple of packages, there was 7 boxes of the 24 pack batteries that I ordered, along with some 24 packs batteries of another model (that I did not order) (industrial rather than ultimate) and some 4 pack batteries (that I did not order). When I messaged shoplet.com they stated the rest of my units were on the way and provided me with a tracking number. The tracking number shows from *** it only weighs 2 pounds. It is impossible for this package to contain all of my units. I messaged them again and they said that they could not fulfill my order because they ran out of stock. When checking the reviews for this seller, I noticed they have pulled this same scam on other people. I need a prorated refund for the units I did not receive. So far I have only received 7 of the 150 units that I ordered. Scammy company, will never do business with them again. Customer service has been extremely poor too considering the massive mistake they have made.Business Response

I purchased 3 types of facial tissues on their website, the order was confirmed and later received email that they were shipped but only 1 type of facial tissue was received. The order number is **********. I contacted them and they mentioned that the other 2 types of facial tissues were out of stock and were no longer sold on their website. At the time I contacted them and as of today as well, the other 2 types of facial tissues are still being sold on their website but with an increased price. I felt they would not want to send the items I purchased due to the reduced price when I made the order and they were finding excuses not to send the order.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:The remaining order should be shipped as the order WENT THROUGH meaning there were inventory available. If not, the remaining order should be shipped after available. Shoplet did nothing to notify the customer until the customer contact them a few days after not receiving the orders and was told the items were no longer sold on their website but still being sold at a higher price.
Your Shoplet response is not acceptable at all and cheating customer by excuses and closing the chat window rudely without accepting further query is not the right way to do business.

I placed the order on Shoplet.com on 8/6, order number*********** After that, I found that I need to change something, so l immediately called the customer service number shown on their website. But their customer's phone call reminded that it was not in service time. So l checked the return policy on their website and learned that the order can be canceled before it is shipped. So l immediately left a message on their website to ask cancel the order (l didn't think to take a screenshot at that time). And just to be on the safe side, l found their customer service email address, and immediately sent a request to cancel the order to their customer service email box(please find the attachment). The next day is Monday, a whole business day, nobody response this matter and l called the customer service number also no response. But on Tuesday, I found the order shipped and my Paypal was charged. So l contacted their customer service online to ask why they were still force shipping after I notified them to cancel the order invarious ways immediately after placing the order. As per Shoplet.com cancellation policy, they have one full business day before shipping to cancel the order, but they chose to force the shipment. Moreover, it can also be seen from the chat history screenshots that l purchased two items, but the Shoplet.com only shipped one of them, and they did not mention this situation in their reply to paypal. This is a dishonest seller. They forcefully shipped the package when it was clear that the customer canceled the order in accordance with their policy, and shipped less, and did not accept refund requests.Business Response

Hi,

We have accepted the chargeback on Paypal for full amount of $10.11 as a one time courtesy so no refund will be given as Paypal already refunded the money back.
