I have been using this company for over…
I have been using this company for over 10 years, but this past Christmas and order I received was lost. They wanted me to fill out a physical claim form and mail it in - no email - and I let them know that due to covid I did not have access to a printer so it would take time until I could access one (I usually went to the library but they were closed in my area at the time due to covid) but I did get it done a few months later. They never responded to my first notice about the delay, and after many more months I finally gave them a call. They claimed the never received the form and since so much time had passed they could no longer do anything for me - meaning they wanted to keep my $121.09 and not give me anything. They never mentioned anything about a time limit for returning forms and took no consideration for delays due to covid (tho their own website even even told customers their shipments could be later due to covid). I used paypal so I am submitting a fraud claim, but even if I get this resolved I don't see myself using this company anymore. I could have accepted not getting the items, I can't accept them just taking my money. Good buy right stuf.
Response from Right Stuf AnimeSep 17, 2021
Hello, We appreciate you reaching out to us but we'd like to clarify some of the claims you are making. We took $121.09 and sent you the product you ordered. Your items were lost in the mail and we're sorry that happened. The policy you stated we made up has been on our website for years (https://www.rightstufanime.com/returnauthorization). You didn't need to mail in the physical claim form but we needed you to fill it out and return it to us. That meant either by scanning or even taking a picture of the claim form that you had filled out and emailing it back to us. The first representative you were working with advised that the case would be closed and after 2 weeks of no response, a case gets archived. So when you finally did get back to us, you responding to a closed case that had been archived meant no one was receiving those messages. It had been over 3 months since you first contacted us before you say you sent the form to us and it had been another 4 months until now when you are following up about it. I'll be reaching out to you to offer a solution as it's certainly unfair your items were lost in the first place and we were willing to work with you to get a replacement out but we do have a policy in place regarding how long we have to file the claims with the shipping company. We understand your frustrations and hope to be able to work together to get you the items you ordered. Best, Jake Hockenberry Customer Care Manager Right Stuf Anime
