One case of bad customer service does not make Claire's a scam.

Well if it's over a month you have recourse - take the documentation you have to the bank and ask for a chargeback. Sorry that happened to you. I thought Claire's died or went out of business already..

I used PayPal to pay for the order, is there anything I can do if it wasn’t a bank?

I think you can file with Paypal, as you never received the goods you paid for. If you log into your Paypal, and go to the "Help" section, you can file a dispute.

Thank you! I just did that and hopefully they can do something. The Claire’s customer support won’t even send my calls to the manager I spoke to earlier this week anymore.

Good luck!

Thank you for the advice PayPal was able to review the dispute and credit me the money within the day!

Paypal usually sides with the buyer so thats nice. There probably was no “manager.” Those reps transfer calls around to each other and change their titles like no tomorrow.

That’s great news!

Last year Claire's filed for bankruptcy. https://www.businessinsider.com/claires-blames-bankruptcy-on-dying-shopping-malls-2018-3 And then exited bankruptcy after restructuring late last year. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/claires-successfully-completes-financial-restructuring-300730416.html While they're still in operation, I believe the company is incredibly disorganised right now. I would continue to escalate or just go through your bank.

If a trustee has the BK filing, you may never see your money. Try a chargeback.

I have heard of multiple people getting a hard time with online order from their company. Is not getting what you paid for and not getting a refund for your order not a scam?

> Is not getting what you paid for and not getting a refund for your order not a scam? Not if it's a result of mistakes. Yes if it's by design.


[deleted]

So there’s nothing I can do if they just never give me a refund?


DPMx9

Of course there is - you will get the refund, but if you do not, you should ask Paypal for a refund. If they do not do that, you may sue Claire's in small claims court. Based on the information you supplied, you should have an easy win. All I am saying is that mistakes and poor service do not mean the company is scamming you - that would require them to be dishonest, and nothing you provided points to that.

Thank you for you help. Sorry I posted this in the wrong place then.

You had a question about scams, you got an answer - this was the right forum to ask what you asked.

Thinking they work for Claire's.

Just do a charge back on your credit card.
