      Status:
      Unanswered
      I ordered a helmet from Gear Riders on May 13.I received my helmet on May 30 and immediately noticed a major red flag. The helmet was not properly packaged. A helmet is to be packaged in a box with adequate packaging to keep it safe, and therefore your head safe. The helmet was wrapped in bubble wrap with a thin bag (see photos). I noticed that there were two deep chips to the face of the helmet meaning that it has been dropped at least twice, hard enough to cause that degree of damage. Since the integrity of the helmet has been compromised, I Immediately contacted the company and asked for a refund with returned postage and attached the same photos and video. They said they would forward it to their team and get back to me as soon as possible. 6 days later, June 5th, I asked for an update on my return, and I was met with "What do you mean by return" I then sent a screen shot of the email thread containing the complaint and was told, "We are still waiting for confirmation from our team". I waited over a week with no response and decided to file a claim with PayPal (who I made the purchase with) requesting a refund as well as postage on June 13. On June 16. I received an email from the company offering 40% off. I declined and reinstating that the integrity of the helmet is compromised due to their lack of packaging and insisted that I get a full refund as well as postage. They replied the next day, June 17 that "For the level of damage to the helmet, we can offer a discount of up to $100. I did not reply to this email and waited to hear back from PayPal. On June 19, I get a message from PayPal that the company has offered $30 dollars off. I declined stating that, "Their website states a "no-hassle" refund policy. I want that "no-hassle" refund as well as shipping for the inconvenience." and I included a screenshot of the "No-hassle" refund policy. As of June 25 I have been offered a full refund but was not offered shipping like I had asked for multiple times.
