  Dear Donna,
  
  Thank you for your follow-up email. We apologize for the delay in responding and any inconvenience that it may have caused.
  
  We have all the necessary information, and your replacement order will be processed shortly. You will receive an email with the shipping information once the order is ready to ship.
  
  As most of our replacement products have labels adhered to them, be sure to check your replacement thoroughly, remove any labels, and wash your item with warm, soapy water before use.
  
  If you have difficulties removing the label, we recommend using cooking oil to help with its removal. Just spread some cooking oil over the label area and let sit for at least an hour. The oil will loosen the label. Once removed, wash with hot soapy water.
   
  Again, we appreciate your patience and continued support of Corelle Brands.
  
  Sincerely,
  
  Corelle Brands Consumer Care Center

I contacted Corelle Brands ************* and they keep asking me to send more pictures some of them I thru the lids away. and now they want pictures of the bowls for the lids I thru away, This is ridiculous and I am not sending them anymore pictures, It dose not mater for the lid replacement. it is just them trying to get out of the warranty!

  More info

  I bought a set of two Pyrex bowls on Amazon on June 22 2024, amazon Order# ***-3785416-9737026. They both came with black residue on the bottom of the bowls that will not wash off (pictures attached). I contact Corelle / Pyrex support on June 27 2024 (ref:!00DE00YMzT.!500Ps0DeNzK:ref) and attached the pictures and all their requested information. They responded that the marks were "part of the manufacturing process" and are "barely visible when placed on the table." I do not find this to be an acceptable solution because I paid for a new set of clear glass bowls, and these are bowls that I cook with and eat out of. So it makes me very uncomfortable to have black residue on the bowls that contains potentially harmful chemicals and it seems like bad customer service to dismiss my concern and essentially tell me that Corelle is happy to sell bowls in this type of condition.

  More info

  I bought a deep 9x13 pyrex dish last year through their website and have maybe used it twice before it exploded at room temperature. I pulled the dish out of the cupboard and put some sauted vegetables in the room temperature pan on the counter while I cooked the meat. Maybe two minutes later it exploded all over the kitchen. I had not pulled the pan from the oven or fridge it was room temp and exploded. I had a glass shard in my leg, thankfully my mom was okay but it flew all the way across the kitchen and dining room. And now I try to log back into their website so I can start a claim and it doesn't show my order because everything is through "shopify" now and they have no record of my purchase. I reached out to them on their chat feature and explained what happened and when it was purchased (March 28, 2023) but I did not have the order number because it was over a year ago. The agent located the order but because I couldn't provide the item number did not resolve anything. (I don't think that exact item is offered on their site anymore, because the most similar item they have was apparently not the one.) They would have sent me a replacement without that information but I want a refund as I do not trust their products anymore. My mother and I could have both been injured significantly if we were facing the dish when it exploded. If I could return my other dish from that order I would as well. I would just like my money back for the dish that exploded.

  On April 29th, 2024 I had a 7 cup storage container (with lid) that was made by Pyrex which is owned by Corelle brands. This container was filled with the food and when I took it out of the fridge it shattered all over the floor. I have no idea why. I contacted the company and asked them to send me a replacement 7 cup storage container with the lid. They said they would do this. I provided photos of the damaged container and all of my information. However, on May 7, 2024 I received a replacement for this storage container but it was instead just a glass bowl, not a storage container. I called the company again and told them of the mistake. They said they would send out the proper replacement.Today May 10, 2024 I received another email indicating they are sending me again the wrong replacement for the storage container. They are indeed sending the same glass bowl they sent in the first place. I called the company again speaking to the same representative and she said there was nothing they could do until I received the SECOND wrong Replacement!It's a simple solution. All I am trying to get is my 7 cup Pyrex storage container with lid replaced. I do not want the same WRONG ITEM sent to me repeatedly.The customer service people are of no help at all. I'm happy to provide you photos of all of this information. Please please help!

  Based on the original communication from the consumer that a glass storage dish had reportedly broken Corelle Brands sent a replacement bowl. Unfortunately, it was not understood that the consumer needed, not only the glass base, but the plastic cover.
   
  A second contact was made by the consumer regarding a replacement. Inadvertently a second glass base was sent. By the time it was noticed, and the consumer reached out to the ********************* the package had already shipped and could not be stopped as it shipped *** Sure Post.
   
  However, after a discussion with one of our associates on 5/10/2024, it was realized that the cover to the storage dish was also needed. Arrangements were made for the cover to ship and it was delivered to the consumer on May 18, 2024.
   
  As of today, we have had no further communication from the consumer.
   
  We sincerely regret any inconvenience this situation has caused the consumer.

  I have been waiting on a response from a supervisor from companys support department for 17 business days on an unresolved issue from October of last year. Case number ********

  Business response

  02/20/2024

  Hello BBB,
  
  We have thoroughly reviewed the complaint and support case with our team and have recently contacted the customer to provide them with two possible solutions. Firstly, we can offer a replacement of their choice from our online store for a similar amount as the item they own has been discontinued and we have no more available for replacement.
  
  Alternatively, we can provide a refund for the total amount paid in the form of a tango refund, which allows the customer to redeem it at various retailers, and even split up the balance if they desire. We are committed to resolving this issue as soon as possible so that the customer can get back to cooking or proceed with a tango refund.

  On 1/22/24 I tried to purchase 5 items from Instant Brands website. I added the 5 items to my cart on two separate occasions, one time I was able to enter my card information, however both times before I hit "submit order" the website would refresh and empty my cart. I waited until the end of the day to see if I got an order confirmation, which I never did and still have yet to receive. Because I didn't receive an order confirmation I purchased the 5 items elsewhere on amazon. A few days later, I received the items and because I thought they were the ones from Amazon, I opened them, washed them, and put them away. Then another few days later I received another box of the same items, this time it was the actual Amazon order. I check my card and Instant Brands charged my card and shipped me the items without ever providing an order confirmation. I requested a full refund since I had to purchase the items twice, and ***** from ************* offered no solution, stating that it had been too long since I placed the order. I still don't even have an order number since it never went through! They did send a tracking number which I didn't see until after the items arrived: 1Z1747530336965741. On top of that one of the items was broken upon receipt. I'd like a full refund since I was deceived into believing this order never went through and I had to purchase it elsewhere and shouldn't have to pay twice for it.

  I have placed my order with the brand on May, 25 2023, paying an extra 30 dollars for one day delivery. When I received my shipment I didn't open the boxes at same time. When I check after few months the boxes sounded bad at that point I came to know that all the item in the boxes were broken so I didn't even open the packing. I contacted the customer service which was really terrible. First I tried contacting them through Email but never received an response. Then I contacted them through online chat option. They kept transferring me to new new agent at least 4 times and 3 items they just ended my chat in between. Some how some one finally replied and asked for proof, I provided them the exact same image the one I provided you guys. Again and again they kept ********* me for my replacement they kept asking me how many broken give us an exact count or else we wont send replacement. At the first place I told them you talk the whole box and send me the replacement I don't need even a single broken thing I am cleaning an using them, nore I am putting my hand in it to get cuts. They kept telling me they won't provide me any replacement if I don't send them the qty. Then on online Chat I provide them the qty but then they kept asking me for proofs again where I told them please check the photos and videos I have sent you. On that hey told me we can't see the plates. So these is how they have Harassed me in last 10 to 15 chats email. Initially they told me we don't have the item and will ship when we have it and so did I trust them like a fool. Few days back I saw they are back in stock but I didn't receive my item yet as promised so I contacted them back and then the trail continues.The last day on contact was today 10th Jan **** at 1:00pm approx. As of now I need my replacement and by express money back $30 since it wasn't fulfilled as promise. I had order it inorder to gift someone and I need it to be resolved before 20th Jan. ****** help.
