    This is regarding the order # ********** place on 6/23. I see the taxes charged does not match with tax rate for my address. I raised a Support ticket right after placing the order when I saw tax is not calculated correctly. There is no response for that for 5 days. Contacted ***************** they said they escalated the case. But no response, again called, they said they opened another support ticket, there is no response for that either. They would not do anything, they keep disconnecting the calls, they do not want to connect their supervisor either. They said they can't fix the tax rate and I can RMA the laptop(which is sealed at this time), but insist I have to pay for the return shipping. In between they claimed tax rate for their location, but that in correct either. So they are unable to fix their billing error, they want to me return the laptop by on my dime. I what world that is acceptable. Either credit the tax difference, or send the label for laptop return and refund full ordering amount.

    Ordered a CPU from them, had an issue with it that required an RMA. Looked through emails realized they have never sent an invoice. Use the order number from the shipping email and it doesn't exist on the website. No response from support emails and when I got through with someone on the phone they hung up on me when I told them support wasn't answering emails and that they could only look at orders from a few months ago? Really regret going with this company, if you order just beware that if anything happens to your order this company will not help you.

    I purchased a ********* Surface table from *********, through the Target website. I had NO idea that the delivery at my home would require a siganture when I purchased this item online. I work everyday, I am not able to be at my home to sign for the delivery.********* will not contact Fed Ex so that I can go myself to my local Fed Ex and pick up the package with my ID and signature. They also will not allow me to switch the delivery address so I can get this item at my work.They refuse to help in any capacity. The package will therefore be returned to sender, so I have to wait for a refund and then repurchase the item at a different retailer.

    Tracking shows that both packages were delivered to the authorized shipping address that was provided at checkout.

    Complaint: 21590628

    I am rejecting this response because: I did not request a refund. I purchased computers from your store and they were shipped, yet you did not fulfill your part of the terms of service. 

    You had them returned to you without notifying me at all. I had to reach out to ***** and then you to understand why my orders were not being shipped to the correct address. When I did get a response from your store, they claimed I requested a refund which is not true. When you ship an item then return it to sender without notice or any sort of communication it looks as though you are stealing. According to ******'s terms of service, sellers are to fulfill orders for sales they have listed online, yet you lied about me requesting a return and are now telling Newegg the item is out of stock. You shipped it back to yourself, so how could it possibly be out of stock? This is false advertising.

    The only response I will accept is my order to be filled as it was supposed to be. I would be happy to pay the amount you refunded for this computer.

    Sincerely,

    *****************************

    n doing so caused me pain and suffering in convincing me I had been robbed once I saw the package was redirected and their responses included no truth to them when contacted. My money was returned several days later, but my time cannot be returned for the hours spent on chats in phone calls nor does that make up for the distress caused when the ordeal began, or disappointment felt by not receiving the item I paid for and was taken from me through deception and bad business practices.

    Business Response

    Date: 04/23/2024

    Both orders have been refunded in full. We have no further obligations regarding these transactions. 

    Business Response

    Date: 05/03/2024

    This was refunded in full by Newegg and no further action is required from antonline.

    They knowingly sold a defective laptop and refused refund, return or help pay for repairs due to the defect.

    We are sorry but unfortunately the return to reseller window for this purchase has been exceeded. Please contact the manufacturer directly for warranty support if applicable.

    On December 19, 2023, I placed an order for 2 viewsonic VP2786-4k 27 inch premium monitors on walmart.com's website. ********* was the third party seller who apparently received my order, processed it, and shipped it to my address. I received the incorrect monitors upon delivery which were viewsonic 2768a-4k monitors. I then contacted walmart.com about receiving the wrong monitors. They sent an email on my behalf, to *********, stating the problem with the order. On December 23, 2023, I responded to an email from antonline, upon their request for photos of the product. Showing the wrong items were delivered.********* then replied to me on Dec 27, 2023, stating that upon confirmation, that I indeed received the correct monitors. I again, checked the boxes and order receipt to confirm that they were mistaken. On Dec 28, 2023 I received a message stating how to begin the process of returning the monitors to antonline. I responded back the same day that I thought it was unfair that I should be responsible for paying for shipping back incorrect monitors because it was not my fault. On Dec 30, ******************************************************************************************************** the email it stated that my request for a refund of the shipping cost was ignored and not discussed by *********. I shipped the monitors back to antonline on the 30th of December with a request for signature to confirm they received it from ***** On January 3rd, they received the first monitor and the following day, they received the second monitor. I then waited for my refund (10 calendar days) and then contacted ********* when I still had not received my refund. To which, they blamed it on not being 10 calendar days, then my credit card, and then they told me to contact walmart.com for my refund. Recently, I contacted walmart.com who stated that, they cannot issue a refund because they were not the ones who received the payment or shipped it.

    Hello,

    Complaint: 21239143

    I am rejecting this response because:

    AntOnlines response is incorrect and does not represent what happened. I went to ******* to initiate the return prior to any contact with AntOnline. ******* attempted to return the item but their system said that I had to return through AntOnline because although I bought it through ******* online, it is a 3rd party seller. There was nothing that ******* could do. 

    I then contacted AntOnline who refused to return the item when it was still within the eligible time frame to return. **************** tried to tell me to contact ******* again and I advised them I already have. 

    AntOnline is refusing to return an item when it was eligible for return. Proper resolution would be to return the item through AntOnline as I requested within my rights as a consumer and according to policy. Also, my other complaints in the ticket still need be addressed. The poor treatment I received from the customer service agent who hung up on me twice and the *** that is programmed to block numbers of customers to prevent them from calling back in. 


    Sincerely,

    ***********************

    Business Response

    As advised by the customer service team, you were to request your return through *******.  If you were having issues with the return policy we also advised to reach out to ********* customer care for assistance. ******* did provide you with the support and options for their assistance but the return was not initiated and the item is no longer eligible for return.

    Business Response

    Date: 03/07/2024

    The facts remain the same since our initial response.  There is no further action we can take in this case.

Order shipped and was expected to arrived before Christmas. Package was delayed for several days and was lost. ***** located the package in ** and on 12/28/23 the shipment finally arrived to my home.

I replied again with photos of the box as it arrived, the item inside from all angles, a copy of my invoice, a photo of the sku of the item received and the labels that were on my box the original label and the relabel that ***** created when the package was lost. I called to confirm receipt of this info- it was confirmed they got it and would get back to me by email.No reply.I have called many times since to check status to be told there is no update to the investigation.I have emailed several times since with no reply.
