  I ordered a fragrance oil that they no longer had in stock. They waited until the day the rest of my order was delivered to tell me that fragrance was canceled to tell me they cancelled it. They told me it should be back in stock next week, so why cancel it. Now if I were to reorder just that product, I would have to pay an additional handling fee and shipping since it’s under $25. Also, when I received my order, one of the bottles had no identifying information on it. Based on process of elimination, it should be the Apple fragrance but it smells nothing like apples.

  Dear BBB,

  Thank you for bringing our customer ***** ******* complaint to our attention.  Ms. ***** placed her order during a fragrance sale.  During this sale there were caveats on the sale stating there would be no back orders. "Promotion does not apply to previously placed orders, special orders, sales items. Bulk items may be excluded. The promotion applies to merchandise currently in stock, with no backorders." (see attached email for reference) 

  Ms. ******* order was not held up due to the one out of stock fragrance, it was placed in the queue for picking and packing, we send out all orders on a first in first out basis (unless the customer pays for a "line jump"). During a sale we generally see extended lead times which are reflected on the header of our website, at the time of the sale we were processing orders within 5-7 business days.

  Our Customer Care Supervisor will be reaching out to Ms. ***** regarding her "Apple" fragrance.  This was definitely a miss on our part and we are working with Ms. ***** to rectify the situation to her satisfaction, as well as reviewing with the Operations team to ensure that the proper training is throughout the warehouse team regarding sending out product with no labels.

  Wholesale Supplies Plus is Passionate about the success of our customers and want to do the right thing for them as they proceed to use us in their business endeavors. 

  Sincerely,

  S.P.

  Order supplies from Wholesale Supply Plus on April 6th 2022 for 172. 24. The first issue was that my order was held by Kathy since I placed prior orders with opt to send in check or money order. When i emailed them I told them to cancel all orders that were still pending payment as i push a new order through which was paid for already. Despite seeing that one of the orders was paid in full she stated, " I have put all of your current orders on hold until you confirm the second order to be canceled" Why would a hold be placed on a fully paid order. this prolonged the processing time and due to this exceeded the 2 day period and lapsed into a weekend where I would be waiting another 3 days till I got frustrated and cancelled the order completely. Then today I woke up to a refund for only 5.08 when the original charge was for 172.24 and then they combined another order I placed after where the combined the two to save "on shipping costs". I never had such horrible experiences with them as i ordered many times from them in the past but now the company logistics seems a bit shoddy. I have emailed and messaged them several times with no response yet. I want the money back which was 172.24 back on my card. Who ever took over this company who ever bought out the original owner is driving this company down in the mud

  Dear BBB
  Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and for the opportunity to review this Mr. ****’s complaint.  Per our records, Mr. **** placed his initial order on 4/5 (Order# *******).  He emailed us to cancel the order on 4/8.  The cancellation request was sent to us at the end of the day on 4/8 after our office closed and therefore the cancellation was not issued immediately.  That said, the order cancellation was issued on 4/11 when our Accounting Staff returned to the office.  I have attached proof of the cancellation and refund showing that both charges for $5.08 and $172.24 were refunded on Monday 4/11/22.   Mr. **** contacted us via email and social media on 4/13 asking why he did not receive his refund for $172.24   Our Service Team confirmed that we refunded the $172.24 on 4/11, and suggested he check with his bank as they may take longer to process the refund on their end.  
  
   Attached is proof of cancellation showing cancel date as well as the transaction ID, amount of funds returned, date and time of refund, and merchant authorization code. This detail is proof that our company processed the refund. Some banking institutions may take longer to release refunds but will usually post the transaction within 5-7 business days. If the customer has any questions regarding the processing time through his credit card or bank, we would recommend that he contact them for confirmation.  There is nothing that we can do on our end to speed this up.
  
  We hope that he will accept this written explanation.  I welcome the opportunity to discuss with him at any time via the phone# listed below.  
  
  Thank you!

  More info

  I was charged $385.78 (plus tax, shipping and handling) for packaging on May 13th that has not been delivered. When I asked for a refund, they cancelled my order without issuing a refund for my payment. I have been in contact with the company since August 30th trying to get this resolved as the ETA for the packaging was pushed back 3 times and two more since this started. They should have never taken payment for a product that is not available.

  Dear BBB
  Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and for the opportunity to review this Ms. *****’s complaint.  We are sorry to hear that there was an issue with delivery of her lotion bar sets, and we offer our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. Per our records, Ms. ***** ordered a 3000-qty. bulk purchase of lotion bar sets on 5/17/21 and that product has yet to come in from the manufacture.  As per our website, we do not stock Bulk inventory at our facility. All bulk sizes are a manufacture direct purchase and have an advertised lead-time prior to shipping.  Lead-times vary by manufacturer and can change with little notice throughout the year (based manufacturing schedules). In this case the manufacture completion dates changed several times, which pushed back the delivery date.  
  
  On 9/21/21, Ms. ***** emailed our service team and asked to cancel the item for a full refund.  The service rep provided a gift card store credit in error as the CSR thought the transaction could not be refunded due to a systems glitch.  That said, a gift card credit was provided and could be used towards a future Wholesale Supplies Plus purchase. This error was a misunderstanding on the part of a newer service staff member.  I have reversed the store credit and a full refund for $420.39 was provided per the customer’s request.  We ask that the customer allow up to 7 business days for her banking institution to reflect the refund.
  
  We hope that she will accept this written apology and explanation.  I welcome the opportunity to discuss with her at any time via the phone# listed below.  
  
  Thank you!

  More info

  I ordered from warehouse supplies plus on the 26th of July. It said on their website that their lead time was 3-5 days. So then it said my order would ship on July 30, which is four days and perfectly fine. Then they pushed my order to the 2nd. That’s 5 days. Now it’s almost August 4th. Still has not shipped. I have a feeling I’m going to be waiting for weeks. I have read reviews and this company gets away with this all of the time. I just want my order.
