I purchased a product for my sister for Christmas and she lives in another state. My order said it would ship in 3 business days and I would get an email. When the 3 business day time period passed and I didn't get a shipping confirmation, I reached out to customer service via email and I was told by a customer service rep, Petty Manguillimotan, that it was out of stock, and she asked "did I want to cancel." I asked why nobody told me that they were out of stock and why was I charged. I got a scripted response back and she again asked, "do you want to cancel?" I said, yes, cancel my order. The next day I went on their website and saw the product I wanted to order and it showed as being in stock. I called them and they said, "no, that's wrong, our system hasn't "caught up" yet and it isn't in stock." The rep on the phone then asks, "so you want to cancel your order?" I said, "I already did via email with Petty yesterday. She said, "no it's not cancelled, is that what you want? If so, I will cancel it now." I said, "yes of course, if you don't have it, cancel it. I hang up and email Petty again and say, confirm this is cancelled. She emails back the next day and she states that it is "now" cancelled. In the meantime I ordered the same item via another vendor. A couple of days later I get an email from this company (SunJoe) saying that my order "has shipped!" I immediately emailed Petty at SunJoe and said, "I was told this was out of stock and then then I was told that this order was cancelled. I ordered from another company already." Her response was, "sorry, it's in transit, there's nothing we can do now. You'll have to return it or you can refuse delivery." Seriously! Mind you, this is going out of State as a gift, so I can't just hop on a plane and refuse delivery. In addition to the fact that this was meant to be a gift. Am I now supposed to inconvenience the person receiving the gift and say, return it?! I emailed all of this, back and forth, back and forth to Petty. No resolution, and eventually, no response. I contacted the BBB. They agreed that I should not have been charged because I cancelled the order and then they shipped it. That was on them. The BBB reached out to them to settle the dispute and the BBB said that the company never got back to them either. It is, by far, the worst customer service experience I've ever had. They also have a parent company TruVolt who clearly doesn't care either. I had so much back and forth just trying to get this squared away since it was the holidays. They need to get it together. If you need a product like the ones they sell, just go through Amazon. Their customer service is much better. Again, the name(s) to watch out for are SunJoe, Snow Joe, Aqua Joe, Auto Joe and managed by TruVolt. I don't want any other unsuspecting consumers to go through what I went through.
