    Purchased Cosmo on 12/12/2020 for Christmas for my son, the website did not say pre-order, but still that was ok I figured I would wait on it. I still have not received Cosmo even though they have sent out pre-orders. I have contacted the company multiple times regarding my order of Cosmo and have been told they are unsure when I will receive Cosmo. At one point the website stated all preorders have been filled, I contacted the company to ask where my order was, went back to check the website, and that statement was removed and a new one was put up stating all preorders were finished and going out in order. Now Christmas is around the corner and I want my order filled. I have emails proving all of this. I feel they are blowing me off, I paid for a product and I want the product I paid for. I’m not looking for a refund at this point I want the product that I paid for 2 years ago which obviously funded them and made it able to make the product, I have been patient enough.

    I attached an e mail where I’m asking about my order as well at my original receipt email.

    Hi *******,
    We appreciate your support and your patience. We have had a lot of headwinds through COVID and while we are still working on Cozmo 2.0, he's not ready for your home just yet. I know the wait can be frustrating; we will work to be better with communication and updates surrounding Cozmo 2.0 and I will share this feedback with the Marketing team to help the team understand your point of view.

    We will continue working on Cozmo 2.0 and we would love to get him to your doorstep as soon as we are able. We encourage you to reach out to our support team at *******@****************.com as well if you have any questions about our current status or where we are at with development.

    Thank you!
    Robbie B.

    Better Business Bureau:



    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

    My order was canceled after the complaint was filed, and the response was filed. I ordered Cosmo 2 years ago so I don’t know how I would receive the refund when my credit card has since expired. Also I did not ask for a refund I asked for the product I ordered. Which I had contacted your company mutual times and was told it would be just a few more months and now it’s been 2 years. Not once was I offered a refund, but now that I have made a complaint my order was cancelled. That doesn’t seem like a reasonable way to do business. 

     

    Regards,

    Hi *******,
    I attempted to call today to discuss this but was unable to reach you; at this time we are experiencing challenges with Cozmo that are affecting our expected timeline for delivery this quarter. I know that's not optimal, and you've been so patient and supportive during this process that it's hard to relay that news. I misread your prior message to interpret that you wanted a refund for your order and completed that refund for you. To resolve this, we have a few options:

    1) You can choose to keep the refund provided to you and purchase when Cozmo 2.0 is available on our web site or in retail stores.
    2) I can re-place your order with a special request to our distributor to keep your place in line so that you get one of the first Cozmo 2.0 robots available on launch.

    I am absolutely glad to do whatever you prefer here so that we can get you the resolution you prefer most. However, I do want to be forthright in saying that the expectation to receive a Cozmo 2.0, even if you are one of first ones to do so, is going to be likely at least spring to summer of 2023. With the hardware changes we have made, there are tons of software changes to make and that has given us significant headwind in terms of manufacturing and production.

    Again, I cannot overstate that we appreciate your patience and your support- I want to offer you the best option for what we can do at this time. Please let me know which route you would prefer to go and I will make it happen. Thank you.

    Preorder a product and they never delivered it. They are nearly 2 years beyond the expected delivery date. They have ignored my requests for a refund and blocked me on social media platforms for requesting information on the progress or a refund. Many many people are in my situation and have had their money stolen by this company.

    I ordered their Cosmo robot on the 26th of NOV 2021. I have bank statements that show I was charged by digital dream lab HTTPSDIGITALD PA the amount of $260.96

    Product still has not been sent, and there have been no update as to when it actually will be sent. I have moved on from my military deployment in Poland and am no longer able to receive mail through Armed Forces mail. Instead of updating my mailing address to Europe, which I'm confident they can't ship to, I've requested a refund. After initially contacted by customer service, they are no longer responding to emails or inquiries on their automated system on their website. They have a clearly stated refund policy on their website, yet they are refusing contact or to refund the purchase price. I want a refund.
