⭐ **1 STAR
⭐ **1 STAR – A COMPLETE REFUND NIGHTMARE. THINK TWICE BEFORE ORDERING FROM BIG DEALS.**
I have never experienced such a frustrating and exhausting process just to get **my own money back** from an online retailer.
I placed **TWO orders with Big Deals**, and both resulted in major problems.
The first was a children’s scooter advertised as a **Ferrari product**. What I received was not the product represented in the listing, and the scooter could not even be properly unfolded and used. The replacement offered was also not the product I had ordered, so I rejected it and requested a refund.
The second order was for a **Panasonic SR-WA22T rice cooker**, but I received a completely different model, **BDLSRWA18TJ**, which was a different product with different specifications and a lower listed price. Again, I requested a refund.
Both products were returned **unused and in accordance with Big Deals' return instructions**.
You would think that would be the end of the matter.
It wasn't.
**Getting my refund became an absolute nightmare.**
I had to make an outrageous number of calls and repeatedly chase customer service for money that rightfully belonged to me. I was repeatedly given assurances that the refund was being processed and would be completed, only for the story to change later.
Most recently, I was told that the refund had supposedly been issued to **KOKO**. However, when I contacted KOKO, I was told that the merchant had **not initiated the refund**.
So who exactly is telling the truth?
This level of contradictory communication is completely unacceptable.
I am the customer. I returned the products. I followed the required process. **Why should I have to repeatedly call, chase, explain and argue just to recover my own money?**
The amount of time and energy I have had to waste on this is absolutely disgusting.
Errors in fulfilling an order can happen. But what matters is how a company handles the mistake. In my experience, Big Deals turned a straightforward return and refund into an unnecessarily stressful ordeal.
**Selling or supplying the wrong product is one problem. Making the customer fight to get their money back afterwards is an entirely different level of poor customer service.**
I expected a professional online retailer. Instead, I experienced repeated delays, contradictory information and an exhausting refund process.
Customers should NOT have to practically beg for refunds after returning products they did not order.
I am posting this review so other customers can understand what my experience has actually been like.
**My experience with Big Deals has completely destroyed my trust in the company.**
After this ordeal, I have absolutely no intention of purchasing from Big Deals again.
**If you value your time, money and peace of mind, think very carefully before ordering.**
Big Deals — customers should not have to make countless calls to recover money that is already owed to them.
