I purchased a replica at comic con and paid in cash, but experienced constant shipping delays. After I posted a negative review, the company then refused to complete my order. Looking for advice on recovering my payment.
hey exploringatom, maybe check with your local consumer protection office. i had a simlar issue and they helped pressuring the business to sort it out. dont let this shady act slide, keep all reciepts and comnunications as proof. good luck, and stay persistent!
Hey ExploringAtom, sorry to hear you’re having this rough time. It’s really unfortunate to see a company take that approach after you left honest feedback. Have you already tried directly speaking with a manager or contacting someone higher up? I’m just thinking out loud here, but I wonder if there might be a consumer protection group in your area that handles these kinds of disputes. It could be really helpful to gather any proof you have—even if it’s just photos or emails—to bolster your case if you decide to go that route. I’m genuinely curious, how did the conversation with them go when they refused to complete the order? Has anyone else here had an issue like this with similar companies? Would love to hear more about your experience and if you find any new steps to recover your money!
I encountered a similar problem where a company withheld services after a public review. In my case, what helped was gathering complete documentation, including any proof of payment and communication records. I advised the person to contact a consumer rights association or seek legal advice if necessary. Ensuring that you have everything documented can strengthen your case when pursuing a refund or reporting the business practices to a regulatory body. I found that persistence in dealing with consumer protection agencies eventually led to a satisfactory resolution.
Hey ExploringAtom, that’s such a mess—definitely feels like you’re being taken for a ride. I wonder if you’ve reached out to a local small claims court or even a consumer help center in your area? It might also be worth considering a public shout-out on social media if you’re comfortable with that; sometimes companies back off when they see the public eye getting involved. I’m curious, have you had any luck hearing back from them after your initial review? Also, if there’s any chance to pull together paperwork or any evidence besides what you already have, that could really strengthen your case. It sucks when your honest feedback is used against you. What else have others experienced in similar situations? Looking forward to hearing more about how this unfolds and what solutions might work best in such circumstances.
