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. i tried the discount code in the checkout when i used the code LORRAINE23016821 it gave me an error message ...see attachment and would not accept my code for the purchase of First Order Jet Trooper Funko Pop! Star Wars Glow-In-The-Dark Pin which cost exactly $10 and shipping an addition $8 not sure of tax. Now this is just another example of a company that does not stand by its promises of customer service. I wanted to purchase this item. I do look forward to receiving the long awaited ****** ****** bobblehead and we will see if they will fulfill that promise . Sending the pin and allowing the $10 discount would have also been very kind considering what i have been through. Sincereley

Hi ********,
I'm very sorry to hear about the issue using the code. I just looked into this and there was an extra space in the code we created. We just fixed the code, so the original code (LORRAINE23016821) will now work for you. Please try again and let us know if you have any issues.

I purchased a Coco the bear bobble head that was delivered damaged on December 2 2024. I notified them immediately about it which they requested a picture which was sent. They told me I did not need to send back the damaged one and they would replace it which they did. The second one was damaged as well. I sent them a picture as well. They did not have any in stock till March which I did not want to wait as I might get a third damaged one. I requested return labels by phone calls and e-mails a few times which I still have not received and this is now March. I just would like to receive my money back but they will not do that till I return the bobble head. For a return they tell you to call but I get no response.Business Response

Hi *******,
I'm very sorry for the issue and delay with receiving the return label. We have emailed the prepaid label to you today so you can return the bobblehead for a full refund. Although bobbleheads are fragile, it is very rare for them to break in transit, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience it has caused.
We hope that you will give us another try and have issued a $15 gift card for you. You can just use the discount code BARBARA23010688 at checkout on a future order with no expiration. We are working hard to make sure our valued customers like you are able to return items in a more efficient way going forward.

In September of 2024 I placed an order hoping to have it arrive by Christmas. On December 6th of 2024 I requested a refund on my order since I was told it would not arrive for Christmas. They received my cancellation and informed me that it would be processed in 10 business days. I still have not received my refund and despite numerous calls and emails have been told only to leave my information and they will get back to me. No one ever responds back. Called again today and was told that there is no way I can speak to anyone except the phone operator. What kind of customer service is this!Business Response

Hi *******,
I'm very sorry for the delay with your order. I do show that we responded to your emails, but it sounds like they may not have made it to you. After looking into this further, I see that one of the pre-order items on your order was delayed due to a manufacturing delay. However, your order just shipped on 3/12 and you should receive it within a few days. Note that it can take a day or two for the tracking to show movement (**************************************************************************************). If you would no longer like to keep the order, you can return it for a full refund.

I preordered 2 bobbleheads in July 2024. I inquired as to when delivery would be made and was told November. When the bobbleheads had not arrived in December, I asked again if product would arrive before Christmas and was told no. I cancelled both orders, cancellation was accepted and I was told refund would be issued within 10 days. Between December 11 and today, Feb 19, I have not received refund. I have sent multiple emails, multiple phone calls always getting the same person answering the calls stating he will file with accounting and i should get a refund. I asked to speak directly to their accounting department or to a manager or supervisor. He said there is no way he can transfer my call and a number I can call directly is not available. I feel like Im just hitting a wall. The phone number Ive been calling is ************ and the email is ********************************** Can you advise me? Thank you.Customer Answer

I ordered a product on 1/19 and it was the wrong product. I cancelled on 1/20. I received an email response on 1/20 saying my order would be canceled within 10 business days. I emailed again on 2/5 requesting my refund as the product was never shipped and cancelled within the appropriate time (less than 24 hours I cancelled it). They cancelled my order that day 2/5 again well after the promised 10 business days. I have since sent two emails 2.7 and 2/11, asking where my refund is with no response. I have sent one final email today 2/12 and will make 1 phone call tomorrow to get my money refunded.Business Response

Hi ****,
I'm very sorry for the issue and delay with the refund. We have investigated this and see that our initial attempts to process the refund did not go through successfully and we had to escalate this to our online store provider (*******) for them to manually push the refund through, which is what caused the delay. However, we see that you were able to open a case with your credit card and received a full refund as shown in the attached printout of your order history.

I placed an order with the National Bobblehead HOF store on 8/16/2024. I contacted the business on 1/3/2025 to check the status of my order and was told that it may be delivered in February.

I waited the 7-10 business days and called on 1/22/2025, 1/28/2025, and 2/4/2025 requesting my refund. I also sent an email on 2/4/2025 asking for my refund. I have not gotten my refund.

I ordered a Bobblehead on April 10, 2024, and followed up to cancel the order on September 19, 2024, since it was taking too long to receive. I have never received the promised refund from them, despite numerous attempts at emailing and phone calls to the vendor. My credit card will not help me either because it is beyond the limit of time that they are able to resolve the issue. My latest attempt to receive a credit was today. The original credit card that I used for this purchase is set to expire at the end of February, 2025.Business Response

Hi *****,
I apologize for any confusion, but since we were just able to get the refund successfully processed on our end this (see the attached screenshot), it might take a couple of days for you to see the refund on your **** card that you used for the purchase. You should have an email from 11:25am central time confirming the refund was successfully processed on our end and I would expect you will have it by Monday at the latest on your credit card account.
I apologize again for the issue with the order. Let us know if you need anything else.
