  More info

  We ordered yearbooks for the ********* ************** school year which has never been received. We have reached out to the company only to be informed that shipments have been made on June 20th. Have never seen shipping this show, but we think this is just another delay since they cannot supply tracking numbers or shipping documents. Many of us have sent emails to the account contact who has not followed up after a said meeting Monday afternoon. The only response was a meeting with the principal giving her the complete update and would be happy to give similar information. Well, he has failed to follow up and honestly sounds like they unable to deliver products. Many students are leaving for college, military and or moving out of the area and we are seeking compensation to allow these yearbooks to be delivered to these students.

  Good afternoon, Mr. ***************** and foremost, I would like to extend our sincerest apologies on behalf of Balfour & *** for the inconvenience this delay has caused. Due to unexpectedly high volumes of yearbooks this year, we encountered some challenges that led to these delays.

  Please be assured that the 2024 ********************* yearbook is currently being individually mailed. Your school should notify you once the books are either delivered or en route to your home.

  Balfour & *** has a contractual agreement with the school, so any concessions, compensations, or refunds will need to be processed through them. We encourage you to contact your school directly regarding your compensation inquiry.

  Thank you for your understanding and patience.

  I am rejecting this response because: based on the timeline of events these yearbooks were scheduled to be delivered by April. Then we received information from the school claiming the following-- "We were just informed that Balfour will be mailing all of our yearbooks to students' homes, including those purchased previously in the year. If you need to change your child's address, please reach out to Balfour. No one ever received anything based on that timeline either. Emails and calls were made the end of July and the beginning of August claiming they were again shipped on or around July 20th depending on who the response was from. but only to find out they never shipped again. A meeting was conducted on August 5th regarding the situation with minimal information and zero information on delivery. To this date, we have still had limited information regarding actual or if any shipping or delivery dates.

  Hello, ****,
  
  Thank you for following up on this.  This has been an incredibly challenging situation, and Im so sorry that you have been affected by the delays in our production facility. To be very clear, we take full responsibility for the delays and acknowledge that this was not the fault of the school, administration, yearbook staff, or our representative for the school the delays were at our production plant.

  I understand there is immense disappointment in missing the opportunities to have yearbook signings and everything else that goes along with those traditions, I sincerely wish we could have gotten these books to the school much earlier. A yearbook is currently being mailed to you at the address below, you should receive it by Monday at the latest.

  I am tired of these constant apologies. What some people do not realize is this graduating class of 2024 was also affected by the Covid Outbreak which impacted these students first year of ************ With so many hardships over the time frames beginning 2021 students and families learned how to overcome some situations but were confused and fed up. This has been hard for these kids to deal with and would have been nice if just one company was more transparent about its failure could have saved much embarrassment. Yet these failures were hidden behind the local contact and the principal of the school with nearly zero contact or information regarding extended delays. When many parents were bypassing the school and contacting the main company directly, people heard many different stories that were all lies. It took nearly threatening legal action to get people talking and making things happen including these contacts with the BBB. To this day no one has been updated as to why. People understand if companies are transparent about issues. Maybe a good learning ****** for a company to understand to just be open about the entire situation and realistic timeframes for delayed items. Offer compensation to families with graduates to help with shipping or update shipping locations. Show customers you really care and stand behind your products by being proactive. Create a position just for corrective action and initiative.

  I paid Balfour $144 11 months ago for two high school yearbooks that were to arrive in May of this year. One of the yearbooks is for a graduated senior who leaves for college soon. We never received the yearbooks. Balfour customer service gives vague answers when I contact them and keeps saying to wait 2-3weeks. They have said the same thing repeatedly. It has been months and still no yearbooks.

  Business response

  08/09/2024

  Good afternoon, ***************,

  First and foremost, please accept our sincerest apologies on behalf of Balfour & *** for the inconvenience this delay has caused. Due to unexpectedly high volumes of yearbooks this year, we faced some challenges that contributed to these delays.

  It appears that the yearbooks for ***** and ****** were initially shipped to the school. However, we are currently in the process of reprinting the books, which will be individually mailed and should arrive over the summer. Your school will notify you once the books are on their way to your home.

  To ensure timely delivery, we kindly ask that you call us at **************, Monday through Friday, between 8 am and 5 pm CST, and provide your current address so we can add it to our mailing list. Your cooperation in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you for your understanding and patience.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  
  I only have 6 days to respond to Balfours response per the BBB. I left my address with an employee at the phone number stated just now, but will not have my yearbooks in 6 days. The employee stated that he will forward my address to another department so they can ship the books. I do not think this issue can be closed until I actually have the two yearbooks I paid for or documentation from shipping that the books are on their way to my house.

  I purchased a college ring back in 2015, had it redone because my graduation got delayed until the Spring and the school logo popped off the ring after a few wears but that's not what this complaint is about. A few weeks ago my ring was stolen and when I tried to reach out to Balfour to be told I had a 4 year warranty and now I would have to reorder and nothing they could do. In addition the price of the ring dam near doubled in price and they have offered an extended warranty plan for 10 years which I was not made aware of when I purchased my ring in the first place

  Business response

  08/09/2024

  Dear ******************,

  Thank you for reaching out regarding your request for a ring replacement. I fully understand the significance of your ring and the memories it represents.

  After carefully reviewing our records, I regret to inform you that the warranty covering your ring's replacement has unfortunately expired. Therefore, we are unable to honor a replacement under the warranty terms.

  We recognize that this may be disappointing given the sentimental value attached to your ring. Although we can no longer provide a replacement under the warranty, we would be glad to explore alternative payment-plan options that could help ease the purchase of a new ring.

  Please feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience so that we can assist you further.

  Thank you for your understanding, and we sincerely appreciate your continued trust in Balfour.

  Dear ******************,

  Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. I understand how frustrating this situation must be, and Im sorry to hear about the theft of your ring.

  Regarding the warranty, while we sincerely wish we could assist further, the warranty for your ring purchased in 2015 has unfortunately expired. The standard warranty at the time of your purchase was four years, and we are unable to offer replacements or services once that period has passed.

  Please know that we do offer extended warranty plans for new purchases, which provide additional coverage options. Should you decide to reorder, wed be happy to discuss these options with you to ensure youre aware of all available protections going forward.

  I truly appreciate your understanding and please dont hesitate to let us know ***************)  if you have any further questions or if theres anything else we can assist you with.

  I contacted the school to confirm what Balfour said (that the yearbooks were delivered to the school in July), and the school said that the only yearbooks the school received were those that the school sells to students who didnt order a yearbook, and that Balfour will ship directly to those of us who ordered yearbooks.

  Dear BBB Representative,I just received my ******************** Ring that I paid nearly $2000 for and my experience was very poor with the ring showing up too small after more than 10 weeks of waiting.When I was instructed to get my finger size measured I went to 2 different jewelers and got the size 8, however jewelers only had thin bands to size me and since the dimensions of the ring are large the size was not accurate. Balfour didnt instruct me to account for a large ring and adjust the size accordingly. None of the local jewelers had a large ring of my size and Balfour didnt offer any other options.I received no calls to discuss and validate the size and am now learning that the process of rising may take another 8 weeks and I am even responsible for the shipping costs and possibly the resizing costs after I already paid almost $2000 and experienced such a long wait.I asked if there is a way to get this measured correctly in *******, ** area and I was told there isn't a way and I should go back to jewelers. Please help me to get this ring repaired or remade quickly and with no additional costs or return with a full refund.

  More info

  I submitted a class ring to Balfour for repair of a defective synthetic gemstone, ORder No. 3779704-1 (************************************************************************ class ring, 1999). The plastic "gemstone" in the ring is defective, for many years the foil backing has a miscoloration in it and the fake stone became ugly and dark. This happened when I was in highschool and as a result I didn't wear the ring, it has sit in my box until I recently discovered it. There is nothing that the consumer has done that has caused this defect, it is a defect in the material used to create the synthetic stone.This repair should be covered under the limited lifetime warranty because it is a defect in materials and workmanship of the ring. It is not resulting from use of the ring, the defect just appeared in the ring. Nonetheless, Balfour is attempting to charge me $50 for replacement of the synthetic gemstone. This is a violation of the terms of the "lifetime" warranty. They are now saying that the "lifetime warranty" applies only to defects in material present at the time of delivery, which is a scam. This is a defect in the material of the ring which appeared through no fault or action of mine. They need to replace the defective stone at no cost under the lifetime warranty.

  Business response

  08/07/2024

  Good Afternoon,

  Thank you for your feedback. However, the limited lifetime warranty only covers manufacturing defects for 30 days after delivery. We believe this information was explained to you, and the link to the limited lifetime warranty was also provided over the phone.

  As this is a 1999 ring, the warranty period has long since expired. Our repair department assessed the ring and determined the issue to be normal wear and tear. The fee to replace the stone is listed on our website.

  If you do not wish to pay the charges involved, we can return the ring to you as is. Please give us a call with your decision at your earliest convenience.

  Thank you for your understanding.

  Complaint: 21974471
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  (1) The defect of of the stone is not "wear and tear," it is a discoloration within the synethetic stone that is a material defect, as explained to them on the phone. There is nothing that could occur from wearing the ring that would cause that defect to occur within the stone, unlike a surface scratch or chip on the exterior. The defect is within the material itself. 

   

  (2) Lifetime warranty covers materials defect.

  Good afternoon *********,

  The repair department has reviewed your ring and sent the included pictures. The ring shows clear signs of wear and tear, including a chipped stone which has allowed moisture to enter, as well as noticeable scratches throughout. As mentioned previously, the Limited Lifetime Warranty does not cover wear and tear or stone replacement. You can view the full details of the warranty by following this link: **********************************************************************************************************;

  If you have any official documentation stating that stone replacement is covered, please feel free to send it over, and we will certainly honor it. Alternatively, if you choose not to proceed with the repair, we can return the ring as is.
