Shockingly bad customer service - borderline scam website at this point
I had ordered from the Blizzard store in the past a few years ago, but it looks like the entire store has been outsourced from Blizzard's control since then. I placed an order for a WoW t-shirt a few weeks ago, and when I opened the package it was a completely different shirt. The tag on the shirt said it was supposed to be the WoW ducks shirt, but it was some kind of shirt with soldiers with skull masks on tarot carts (not even remotely the product ordered). I tried contacting customer service through the chat and couldn't get any response for about 3+ hours. I tried calling and sat on hold for over 30 minutes before giving up. I have submitted a ticket through the contact form and not heard back, and have tried multiple times to use the chat. The few times I managed to talk to a human they said I had contacted the "EUR" chat even though I am located in Canada and the order itself was shipped to a US address. I am currently trying to use the chat through a VPN in the US to see if that helps me get through to the appropriate chat. I tried reaching out to Blizzard support directly and they told me that I had to go through the Gear Store contact as Blizzard has no control over the Gear Store. I am really struggling with how to get a resolution on this issue. I am afraid to do a credit card chargeback at this point as I am worried this will lead to my account being completely banned from all Blizzard games in the future which would be worse than being out the $30 I spent on the shirt. I am completely disgusted at how bad this customer service is. Blizzard should read these reviews and recognize that the Gear Store provider is providing a completely inappropriate level of service to Blizzard customers and is inadvertently tarnishing the entire brand. I just wanted a silly duck t-shirt - not a kafkaesque customer service nightmare. The package said it came from Legends Global Merchandise so my next course of action will be to start calling this company to see if I can get anywhere. Avoid the Gear Store at all costs.
