This
story
has
a
happy
ending.
I’ve
used
Budget
Pets
Products
BBP
for
ten
years
or
the
life
of
our
dog
a
Lab
and
always
purchased
premium
food
and
medication.
They
were
at
the
first
time
earlier
movers
of
direct
to
door
online
only
pet
products
selling
model.
Our
annual
spend
was
significant
and
increasing
with
the
addition
of
a
second
dog
to
our
household
but
we
remained
loyal
as
their
costs
were
competitive
and
they
offered
a
consistent
product
offering
and
buying
experience.
Except
on
this
occasion,
we
purchased
clippers
from
them
for
our
new
dog.
Product
arrived
unused
or
not
damaged
as
per
photos
but
the
product
was
already
opened,
unwrapped
and
contained
the
wrong
combs
plus
swapped
for
the
wrong
size.
That
may
have
been
acceptable
if
the
combs
fit
but
didn’t
and
attempts
to
force
on
would
break
them
rendering
the
product
unusable
for
purpose.
I
raised
a
ticket
with
Budget
Pets,
this
was
an
experience.
First
the
recorded
message
on
the
phone
number
encourages
you
to
use
their
other
channels
and
promptly
hangs
up.
You
don’t
speak
to
a
person
so
only
option
is
to
use
chat
either
in
the
app
or
via
their
website.
Chat
is
prompt
but
it
goes
to
a
chat
centre
based
in
SE
Asia.
The
consultants
are
understanding
but
they
are
not
empowered
to
make
decisions
so
the
ticket
is
routed
to
their
After
Sales
team
adding
delays
to
resolve
the
issue.
My
issue
and
dialogue
then
continues
with
their
After
Sales
consultant.
My
interaction
with
him
was
challenging
from
the
outset,
he
advised
I
should
resolve
the
issue
with
the
manufacturer.
I
reminded
him
resellers
are
required
to
provide
a
store
warranties
for
resold
products
under
Australian
law.
None
the
less
I
contacted
Kazoo
support.
Call
goes
to
an
Australian.
I
explained
the
issue
and
we
continue
dialogue
via
text
and
MMS.
He
says
the
combs
are
an
‘old’
model
that
still
fits
and
encourages
me
to
‘force’
the
combs
on
and
he
would
cover
breakage.
From
our
research
the
combs
are
from
the
cordless
clipper
and
was
never
going
to
fit.
I
told
Kazoo
that
I
wasn’t
forcing
it
on
and
wanted
a
refund.
Radio
silence.
I
pursued
the
refund
with
Budget
Pets
via
chat.
Consultant
advises
the
refund
request
must
be
escalated
to
After
Sales
for
approval.
It’s
disappointing
they
aren’t
empowered
to
decide
and
follow
the
Returns
policy
on
their
website.
After
Sales
responds
to
my
email
ticket
and
approves
the
refund
but
advises
to
send
to
the
dispatch
warehouse
instead
of
the
Returns
PO
Box.
It
may
be
standard
scripting
but
he
also
makes
the
comment
below
in
the
response.
“
*IMPORTANT!
Please
note
if
an
item
is
returned
damaged
or
dirty(smelly,
animal
fur,
marks,
body
fluid,
cut,
ripped
etc
-
in
a
way
other
than
how
the
item
was
sent
originally),
we
will
not
hesitate
to
return
the
item
to
sender
without
a
refund.”
It
was
offensive
given
I
had
sent
photos
and
explained
the
product
could
not
be
used
due
to
the
combs
issue.
After
Sales
confirmed
I
could
send
the
returned
product
to
either
the
PO
Box
or
warehouse.
I
mailed
the
product
to
the
PO
Box
by
registered
post.
BBP
processed
the
whole
refund
including
postage
costs
back
to
my
credit
card.
The
After
Sales
consultant
kept
me
informed
throughout
the
refund
journey.
Despite
the
rigmarole
BPP
pulled
through
and
came
good
at
the
end.
