Terrible refund process - No help at all

Terrible service from this company. I purchased a mirror that was delivered in a damaged condition. I was shocked that such a fragile item was not even bubble-wrapped.

When I requested a refund, the process was unnecessarily difficult, and the company acted as if they were doing me a favour. I purchased the item through Payflex and was due to make payment two weeks later, yet they have still not notified Payflex that the order was cancelled and refunded. As a result, I am being required to pay for an item I never received.

Despite the numerous emails I have sent, their responses are unhelpful and fail to address the actual issues raised. This experience has been extremely frustrating and disappointing.

I truly regret purchasing from this company and hope Payflex reconsiders allowing them to operate as a vendor on their payment platform.

Thank you for your response.

However, I would like to clarify that I have not received any communication from a dedicated sales consultant, nor has anyone contacted me with an update as stated. This is precisely the issue I raised the lack of follow-through and transparency.

I would appreciate it if this matter is addressed truthfully and urgently, with clear communication on the status of my refund and confirmation that all relevant parties (including Payflex) have been formally notified of the cancellation.

Please ensure that I am contacted directly with a concrete resolution, rather than assurances that are not being actioned.

I look forward to your prompt response and a resolution without further delay.
