Buyer Beware!!!
Recently attempted to purchase 4 oscillating monkey fans. The total cost of the fans was $140.00. The website indicated they were in stock. The order was initiated on 7-12-21, a week goes by and I receive an email indicating that they were not in stock and they would be able to ship the items the following week. They offered a substitution but I was not interested in it so I did not reply to the email. (The fact that I did not reply did not mean they were entitled to just sit tight and do nothing until I responded. ) Three weeks go by and no communication from Growace. I call the number listed and wait on hold for 15 min only to have the person who answered hang up on me the second they picked up the phone. I called back, waited another 15 min and then I got someone on the line. I indicated that I was no longer interested in the fans because they lied in their email to me about when my order would be shipped to me and I would like a full refund. I waited 10 min on hold only to have the guy come back and ask me if I would be willing to take a substitute (I already sent an email earlier that day that I was not interested in the substitute and he had full access to the email chain). I told the person that I was no longer interested in a run around and I would like a full refund. The person places me on hold for another 20 min and comes back and tells me my refund was processed. Then to add insult to injury the person attempted to place blame on me by telling me that in the future I should call ahead to make sure such products were in stock because a great deal of time was wasted (on their side) dealing with the troubles of this order. So basically... their lack of proper representation of their inventory on their website was somehow my fault. The total time of this call was 54 minutes. I would highly recommend not ordering from this site because it appears they were going to attempt to take my money and never fullfill my order because I didn't respond to their email. I am not sure these people understand what is legal when it comes to being an online merchant. I am pretty sure it isn't legal to offer things for sale that you don't actually have in stock and then place the order with their supplier after they have received your money.
