    This complaint was filed a year after the dispute was settled through ***** The fee charged for the return was supported by an **** policy for items not returned in the condition in which it was sold. The laptop was returned with signs of use and not defective. The customer was refunded the correct amount.

    The sale referenced was over a year ago.  This returned item was tested and not defective but had signs of customer use.  The refund was based on **** policy and  supported by ****s dispute process.

    Complaint: 20174810

    I am rejecting this response because: I am not satisfied with this outcome because I never placed the order and never received merchandise. Somebody hacked into my account and took out the $63.98 three times without my authorization. The bank refuses to return my money.

    This was a normal transaction approved by the credit card company with no indication of fraud.  There has been no information to suggest the customer did not receive the item ordered.

    ******************************************* a return authorization The ** came the following day. It stated that I had to pay return shipping. I found that expense to be improper and fought that with both ********* and ****** to no avail.I dismantled the equipment, packaged it up in the original boxes, (with extra protection), and shipped it via *** to Antonline in **. It was received by "*******" on the morning of May 10th.It is a great pity in my mind that BBB does not evaluate complaints when accrediting businesses. If that policy was revised then there would be no way that ********* would get that accreditation. Their whole business philosophy is that "our commitment to the customer ends when we ship the purchased product. We kind of hope the customer gets what was paid-for but when that is not the case it is not our fault and we accept no responsibility".Under Antonline conditions of purchase, they are able to levy a 15% restocking fee. I will not accept that levy

    FEDEX has verified correct delivery. Please be sure to check the exterior doors, porches, mailbox and garages at your location as they often try not to leave packages in plain sight. Also, please check with your neighbors as they may have picked up your package for you if you were not at home. 

    If you have had a burglary at your home, you should report it to your local police and insurance company.

    Sincerely,

    *********************ck so that I can get my money. They only state the package was signed and delivered which **** says they cant do anything and ***** says they can only talk to the shipper for the refund not me. At the moment I have my credit card company looking into it but all of antonline contact information is out of order No one answers my emails, messages on ****, or phone call when I call their support numbers. I dont know what else to do and I hope you guys can help me. I no longer want this ghost laptop I just want a refund, I already bought a new laptop through Best Buy for school. **** says to talk to ***** and ***** says to talk to the shipper and the shipper isnt responsive, both **** and ***** have my recorded phone calls. Everyone says theyre nothing they can do even though I never received the laptop and the shipper did say they used a license for approval of signature and **** said the name has to match the signature. Thank you, *********************

    FEDEX has confirmed correct delivery to the shipping address given at order placement with a signature collected. Please be sure to check the exterior doors, porches and garages at your location as they often try not to leave packages in plain sight. Also, please check with your neighbors as they may have picked up your package for you if you were not at home.

    Proof of delivery shows that this was delivered to the shipping address provided by the customer and shows ********************* as the recipient of this package. No further action is needed as the carrier delivered to this to the correct address and signature was provided.

    Complaint: 19404478

    I am rejecting this response because:

    I have proof from ***** that the recipient of the package was NOT me, *********************, and was signed for by a ************. The shipper claims that an ** was used as proof but there is no where on the records I have obtained from ***** that the ** shown was mine, *********************. We have checked and no one in our household or on our street has received this package. ***** has also offered to refund the money to the shipper as they have established that their records were incorrect and the package was deemed lost/stolen. The shipper only needs to contact ***** to start the return process as they will not allow anyone other than the shipper to obtain the refund. This is to facilitate the return process and allow the shipper to then refund me the money I spent on a product I never received. So far the shipper has deemed our business only worthy of a copy and paste message. This is unacceptable, and very poor customer service.
    I have attached a copy of the official documentation for Proof of Delivery that ***** had sent me. Please view the highlighted portion containing the proof that the signature is not that of the intended recipient, *********************, and states signed for by *************

    Complaint: 19405890

    I am rejecting this response because:

    The Damage shown from your own proof does not add up to the story you produced. The image where the Chip is still inside the box, does not have the same markings as the chip on the desk that is shown, you provided no pictures without a grey and white filter to insinuate that they are the same chip. I have put the images that were provided through software to show further proof that the claim made is not factual. The claim that it was incorrectly installed is also false. Only 1 pin is bent from the images provided, which is very unlikely from an "incorrect installation". Damage to the pins would be more drastically damaged than provided. **************************** this video should be proof enough that only 1 bent pin is not possible if it was installed incorrectly. The chip will not set unless it was on the motherboard correctly, and to force it down would bend more pins. Any professional would be able to tell this is not from a incorrect installation. You have sent me a damaged CPU then lied about me sending it back damaged. There were no scratches on it before it was taken out of the box, only proving that you are in fact trying to scam me. 



    Sincerely,

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