After we confronted you about the false, out of context info in your first review, you edited it to hide the inaccuracies. (We document each review, so if you edit this review once again, we will still have it in every form.) Even after the edit, your review remains dishonest. You initiated a chargeback before we had a chance to respond. Despite this, we coordinated with our bank and started your refund within 18 minutes.
It’s clear we never intended to "keep your money," as shown by our immediate follow-up confirming the refund. You even returned a package with nearly all items damaged. The emails demonstrates your attempt to obscure your initial false review:
"Fact that I paid $250 for your company to send me this is utterly unacceptable... Failure to come to an amicable resolution between us will result in me contacting my credit card company." From: Brandon Yonker Sent: Tuesday, December 3, 2024, 12:18 PM
Our Response (Dec 13, 2024, 7:33 AM, 18 minutes before follow-up):
Apologies for the delayed response—we’ve been busy this holiday season.
No problem, we can process a refund for your order. However, we can’t issue a refund if a chargeback is pending. Please contact your bank to cancel the chargeback, and we’ll process your refund.
As a goodwill gesture, we offer a free snack box if interested.
Our Follow-Up (Dec 13, 2024, 7:51 AM, 18 minutes later): After coordinating with our bank, we processed the return. The refund will be applied in 2-5 business days after we receive the returned items. I’ve attached shipping labels for your convenience.
Your response (after our follow up): "That is completely untrue that you cannot process a refund with an active chargeback and is a tactic that is used to scam people because you can only initiate a chargeback one time. So if I cancel it, you can just keep my money, and I have no recourse... Please direct all future correspondence to Goldman Sachs."
(You send this even though we already started the return and sent you a label)
Review change proof (Dec 13, 2024, 8:52 AM): First review: "Cheap junk... had to file a chargeback to get a refund. Will use threats and coercion. Complaint filed with the BBB. BBB complaint number will be added when I receive it."
This is a lie, as proven by the timestamps in our emails. You omitted our follow-up email, which stated:
"After coordinating with our partnered banks, we were able to process a return for you. I’ve attached the shipping labels to this email for your convenience."
We are still willing to stop the collection claim if you remove the false review. You do not need to remove your BBB complaint, as we are happy to cooperate with the BBB, providing all evidence. We just ask that you remove the review and refrain from further revisions. Anibox
Your response: I will update it to reflect your response and clarify that you did issue a refund, though intervention from my bank was required.
Intervention of your bank was never required. You simply had to wait for our response so you could receive the refund. There is more proof but there is a character limit, but it will be reviewed in its entirety by the BBB. We have photos and valid evidence that all of the items were damaged. After BBB investigates and finds us in favor we will have an update on here and the BBB Anibox page. Edit 5: We offered to stop the collection process of the products you damaged if you removed the first false review but instead you decided to edited the first review to hide your first out of context review. Edit 6: We are in the process of removing the review with Trustpilot. Nothing is conclusive. The amount was not calculated based on the total value of the box as a percentage of the damaged items to help cover at least the basic costs associated with processing returns. This approach was intended to be a fair solution, ensuring you didn’t need to pay the full amount for the items that were returned damaged.
