ClockWay - A Gift Theory Store

I ordered a wall clock-- it is made of particle board and plastic and golly gee-- NO ONE answers the phone when you call. Surprise surprise! no one responds to the firm's online query form. You can do better elsewhere.

I ordered a clock and it was too big I have been trying to return it and I cannot get an answer from cloсkway of Gift Theory how to return it . I tried to take it to UPS and they said if I returned it to the address on the box it would be $121. How do I return if postage free

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID 10570657, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to meHowever I would like to respond to the statement made in response:
"Our customer ordered two items on 3/30/15. When order fulfillment realized there was an unforeseen delay, we notified the customer via email on 4/1/at 10am PST to let her know of the delay. Customer called on 4/8/wanting to cancel the order but unfortunately merchandise had already shipped."
My desire for a refund was expressed conditionally, only, more than a week later, if either my merchandise did not ship or I did not receive an explanation of whether and when it would shipI had received no e-mail regarding delay on either April or anytime thereafter
On April I had received the following message:
Dear ***,
Thank you for your recent orderThis email is to keep you up-to-date with the status of your orderThe following item (s) have been processed and sent for fulfillment:
Order #: 368***Howard Miller Table Alarm Clock - CHM
Your tracking number will be emailed to you once your order is in transitHopefully the problem was no more than a missing e-mail and misunderstandings arising from it I have received the merchandise in good order now and have been otherwise happy with the quality and priceI expect my experience was not typical or Clockway would not enjoy the Revdex.com rating that they do. I accept the resolution
Regards,

We very much apologize for the inconvenience the customer
experienced with their order
Customer received their watch and a month later reported an
issue, Thursday. We contacted the customer within business days, Sunday. We asked
for
more clarification on this issue as the original issue description was
extremely vague. From the beginning we
were intent on resolving the issue but needed more specific information as many
issues can be resolved over the phone. We
sent a return label to customer and we received back a used watch with scratches on
it. We notified customer that a
replacement would be shipped shortly. We
were waiting for the new replacement watch to become available for shipping when we
received this complaint.
We have therefore cancelled the replacement and full refunded
customer for their used watch they returned. Thank
you!

We apologize for the consumer's inconvenience with their product.  The customer purchased the item on 9/20/2013.  The customer contacted us on 2/22/14 asking for warranty support information as their purchase was well over our return policy of 90 days.   Their item comes with a...

one-year manufacturer warranty and warranty paperwork.  The consumer needs to contact manufacturer directly for warranty repair or support as this is the intent of a manufacturer warranty.
Per this customer's request, we provided warranty support information to the customer on 2/23/14 as the majority of issues can be resolved over the phone directly with the manufacturer.  The manufacturer is the subject matter
experts of the products they create and provides excellent support. 
 
In order to provide the best customer service possible, we have assisted this customer to contact the manufacturer as a courtesy.   A warranty replacement was authorized by the manufacturer.   We informed the customer
via email on 2/25/14 that a warranty replacement would be sent out.  We then received this complaint on 2/27/14.
 
The warranty replacement was sent out by the manufacturer on 3/3/14 via UPS tracking#1Z453355[redacted]3 and is scheduled to deliver on Friday 3/7/14.  We also emailed the customer a prepaid return label to return the questionable merchandise.

I am rejecting this response because:
Clockway/Gift Theory's email response to you was exactly the same one they sent me. Obviously it's their standard go to email when their is an issue.  I don't care what hand the manufacturer played in it with them, because it is the sellers responsibility to make sure the customer is taken care of, and not once over a 2 month period, was I ever contacted by any sort of management regarding the multiple damaged goods I received from them. It cost me a lot of time and energy chasing them down with phone calls and writing emails to the seller only to be given a complete runaround each time. I had to take time off work to accept all of these damaged pieces as they had to be signed for. This should fall on the responsibility of the seller to be as accommodating as possible for the 6 damaged pieces they shipped to me. This is by far the worst example of customer service I have ever experienced. So it cost me hundreds of dollars and a horrific amount of  stress and aggravation and cost them nothing??

I had not one but two clocks charged to me for $175.99 each. I only ordered one clock, and this was not the price. I have never received a clock from this company and I cannot get hold of them or track this order!

Review: Ordered a Bulova Metal Base Brass Anniversary clock - item #GTB6432/for $45.65 from Clockway.com on January 8, 2016. Received an Email that the product would be shipped in 2 to 3 business days. That a tracking number would be emailed once item ships.

On January 11, I sent an email requesting information on my order and asked for my tracking number. Did not receive an answer until January 13, 2016 with a tracking number. Once I checked the number, it stated it was being delivered 2 to 3 day Priority Mail. After checking the tracking number for 3 days and noticing no movement, I contacted the company via email and requested an update as to when I would receive my order, since they had already charged my account $45.65. As of January 15, 2016, no product and no accurate tracking number. On January 18, 2016 company sent an email stating that the item would be shipped that day. So I requested a current tracking number. Never received one..no product.. no answer as to where my order is. On January 19, received another email they were working on my request. At that time I contacted them back via email and requested a refund.Desired Settlement: Tired of dealing with a company that keeps giving me the run around. Want my refund ASAP of $45.65 credited back to my account.
