Buyer beware-NO REFUNDS
Buyer beware! I purchased some Shell gas cards as gifts and then changed my mind and requested a refund. After 3-4 weeks of emails, SVM said no refunds and referred back to Shell to request a refund directly. Again, another 2 weeks of emails until Shell also said that their gift cards are “non-refundable” even though I did not see that anywhere on SVM’s site or Shell’s. The rep for Shell did give me a helpful tip by stating that I could, “use the cards as gifts”. NO S**T!
Response from SVMJan 4, 2021
Thank you for shopping with SVM. As a gift card reseller, we have different capabilities with our partner brands (ie. Shell). As our Customer Service team explained, we cannot refund Shell cards because we do not have access to their refund systems. We cannot speak to Shell's policies or their representatives. We're sorry you weren't satisfied with your experience, but hope you can understand the challenge in refunding cash-equivalent products when a customer changes their mind about a purchase.
