  RE: order# BB63723 **************** Follow Up ******* I purchased a comforter at the end of November, 2023. Didn't start using it until over a month later. By the beginning of April all of the seams were coming out. On April 21st I emailed the *** requesting a refund. They offered me a coupon code which I tried multiple times and it would not work. First they told me I could only use it toward the same bedding item (which the only one left in the size I needed was green.) ***** multiple emails and attempts I will not waste any more time trying to use a code to buy something I don't even want or need. I need a refund for the item including the tax, which they tried to cheat me out of by offering me $88 coupon. This company does not stand behind it's product nor do they care about their customers. I sent multiple emails and 12 pictures of seams coming out. There were more than 12 places where this is occurring. Other reviews of their products state similar issues.

  Hi ********,

  Sincere apologies for the inconvenience you have experienced with our product and customer care team! After reviewing, the customer care team had made a few mistakes.

  Since your order was placed over 90 days ago, we are not able to offer a refund since it is outside of our refund policy. That said, we ALWAYS offer credits for quality issues, regardless of time frame, in the amount of total price paid towards ALL styles on the website. I have adjusted the code to be $93.83, applicable towards all styles. See attached. 

  Best regards,

  *****

  Hi ***,

  We have reviewed your contacts to our customer care team regarding this issue and want to assure you that we take customer complaints seriously. We approved your initial claim regarding the defective heated product and sent you a free replacement heated product. After sending your replacement heated item out, we recieved another complaint regarding the packaging, not the product, which is not a quality concern. We do not offer replacements on items that have minor packaging damages as packages can get bumped around in transit and is out of our control. The complaint we recieved from you on 2/14/24 states "I ordered a throw for my mother and the box was delivered all damaged. She is afraid to use it for fear the blanket is damaged. Please advise. ***********************". The image we recieved of the packaging had very minor damage. Image is attached. 

  The complaint you have issued with BBB now states that the issue is with the product, which was not mentioned in your initial contact to Berkshire. 

  At this time, we will not be honoring another free replacement as the complaint you contacted us about was regarding the minor packaging damage, not the product.

  Kind regards,

  Berkshire Blanket

  I am rejecting this response because: the blanket is in another state so the first thing we did was show the box damage. My mother was afraid to use it. She did however plug it in and tried it. It would stay turned on for a few minutes then it would get real hot in spots. I did explain this to them in a phone call.
  
  Sincerely,

  I purchased sheets that tore the first time on my bed. I am a regular customer. I have filed claims before for blankets that stopped working. They have denied my refund from previous complaints. Which had nothing to do with the sheets I recently purchased.

  I placed an order for a queen set of sheets. I have the same kind of sheets in other sizes for many years. Upon receiving the sheets after washing I went to place them on the bed. The bottom sheet no matter what way I tried would not fit the bed. It is obviously a defective set. In my attempt to get the sheet on I tugged too hard and made a rip in the bottom sheet. I called customer service and spent approx 30 to 45 minutes on the phone. The person was rude repeatedly put me on hold. Then said she couldnt hear me and hung up. I called again spent another 30 minutes on phone. Was told to take 3 specific pictures and email them and that was received and reviewed it would be considered a quality issue and they would send me a new set of sheets. That was on 11/25/23. I sent email and heard nothing other than automated email response saying it was received. Have called 3 times since and I just get not sure why not reviewed yet we will send it to escalation. Today I called again spoke to a supervisor supposedly and now I am told since I roped the sheet I cant return it and they wont give me a new set. Horrible service. There website says they have a 100% guarantee fir quality well thats a lie. They sent me a defective set and they will not replace it. My issue # with them us ******* and order # is *******. Absolutely horrible customer service, lied to, hung up on, no follow up received, no resolution and dont stand behind their product when clearly I was sent a defective set and they say its damaged now and wont do anything. Well if it wasnt defective I wouldnt have ripped the set. Please help me get a new set of sheets. They can have the ripped set back as soon as I get a new non defective set!

  On October 25, 2023, I ordered #*******. The very next day, I received an email sale with 30% off the entire order, including sale prices. My order total was $75.52. I called the company the very next day to get the price difference and was told that they do not price match. I pointed out that I wasn't looking for them to price match to another company, it was THEIR price. I was told that they still wouldn't give me the $12.45 difference. I told them to cancel my order, and I would then re-order (all the items were still available at that time, because I checked). Even though it had been less than 24 hours since my order, they told me they could not cancel it. I told them to send me a return label and I would send everything back. I've been waiting since October 26 for the return label. I called today and asked to speak to a supervisor. He confirmed that they could not credit me the $12.45 difference, they couldn't cancel that order because after an hour it would have been processed, and that they don't send return labels. I would like either a $12.45 credit on my visa  card or a credit in that amount from the company. Thank you.

  I placed an order and paid $104.23, ORDER *******. When I called them to cancel the order they refused and shipped the item anyway and told me to refuse the package. Which I did. I never touched the package and refused it to the UPS  driver before he ever reached the front door. They stole over $40 from me as they only refunded me $63.43 with no explanation. Customer service refused to help me and only said that someone would be sending me a follow-up email in the coming days. What crooks!

  I have a Berkshire Grace Fur Heated Mattress Warming Pad (it is actually the 3rd pad that has failed). It is still under warranty and stop woking. Upon checking the pad I found the wires turned black and melted the top of my Tempur -Pedic mattress. The polyester body of the pad has also fallen apart. I contacted Berkshire and they do not carry a replacement for the mattress pad, and offered a $200.00 credit to buy something else from them as I didn't purchase the directly from them. This is unacceptable! I went ahead and purchased a new mattress pad from a different company at the cost of $194.03 with tax. The cost to replace the top of my mattress is $268.42 with tax due to the mattress pad failure. There are other complaints about the mattress pads failing and I believe Berkshire stopped manufacturing them due to safety issues. The damages could have been much worse, and Berkshire needs to be responsible for the damages their product caused.

  I ordered 2 sets of Queen sheets, they sent me 2 sets of Twin sheets. I contacted them for an exchange and they refused stating the only thing they could do is refund me if I sent the sheets back to them at my expense. The sheets where $70 and the return shipping would cost me $45 USPS or $48 UPS. This unacceptable especially since it was the mistake of there website.

  I returned my orders as requested and the tracking shows they have been sitting on their dock since Monday 12-6 at 11am. I contacted customer service/ refund dept and the person said he couldn't process the refund. Here is the tracking number ****************** Here are my order numbers ******************** I paid $36 to return this after your team told me I could refuse delivery at no charge because the discount didn't process correctly. That was untrue. The representatives have refused to cancel the order when the mistake was made and made me pay to return ship them. Now they won't give me my money back even though the product has been sitting on their dock for over a week. I want my refund for the 3 orders and also the $36 I had to pay in shipping to return them.

  Business Response /* (1000, 16, 2022/01/03) */ ***Document Attached*** Hi *****, We deeply apologize for your inconvnience. I have looked into the 3 orders you listed in your complaint and have confirmed that all 3 of these orders have been successfully refunded. Unfortunately, I cannot issue an additional refund for the $36 you paid in shipping costs as the balance of your orders is already at $0. The only solution I could provide for the inconvnience is to grant a discount code for you to use in the future, totalling $36. In the future, one of our customer service associates should be able to generate a shipping label for you to ship your items at zero cost. I deeply apologize this was not done for you. I have attached files of your order status' for your 3 orders so you can see that the refunds have indeed been issued. Please let me know if we can make this right by issuing you a $36 discount code for future purchases. Thank you, Berkshire Blanket & Home Co. Consumer Response /* (2000, 18, 2022/01/03) */ (The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.) I think that is fair. I will accept a credit in the form of a code for a future purchase. It's unfortunate that your customer service representatives could not offer this solution at the time of our complaint. We love Berkshire products and purchase them as gifts for our family and friends several times a year. And we, ourselves have your products on all of our beds and furniture. I probably have at least 20 throws from the past few years. Thank you for your attention to the matter. How can I get the discount code for a future purchase?
