            I've been reaching out to this company for a week or more now trying to get this item corrected - initially, they said they would like to replace it & to send them the information of who sent it to me so they could verify the order - don't know what they would have done if I didn't have that info, but I did and I complied. They finally come back to me today, again saying they'll happily replace it but I have to pay for shipping - are you kidding me? Do they have any clue at all what customer service is? I'm sorry - it is their product that is broken and it is on them to replace it and on their dime! I'm not paying to ship a replacement for something that didn't work the first time - and quite honestly, if they've not corrected the design on the insert, I doubt it will work this time. I understand it was a gift, but that shouldn't matter - either they stand behind their products or they do not. It is not my fault or the fault of the person who sent it to me as it was purchased it in good faith. Here's the context of the email I sent to the company - "The pink Himalayan salt lamp. The insert does not fit in the lamp properly. I’ve tried for over a week now and wasted numerous melts trying to get them to belt, & they will not. The pics show the wax having burned for days & overnight & never completely melted. I thought maybe it was the wax so I tried a different scent & left it on for 2 days - you can see that it did the same thing - or less. This was on high setting. You can see from the pic, the insert does not fit flush in the product like it does in your pics on your website. The last pic is the first round of wax that never melted. The first two are of the lamp itself, & the wax that was left on all night & it never melted completely. "

            Our policy is that if the order cannot be verified, we will still replace as long as the gif-tee pays the shipping cost. The customer was unable to provide an order number, and we were unable to verify the purchase. We offered the customer two options. Pay the shipping cost and receive the replacement, or we could create a discount for 50% off any new solo Warmer on our website! The discount code was provided and the customer no longer responded to the inquiry. If this customer needs any additional assistance, please let us know. Thank you!

            I placed an order HW-****** and I received one wax warmer with the light and timer not working. I’ve emailed the company and messaged them through ******** countless times. I was left in read on ******** and ignored after sending dozens of emails. I know I sent it to the correct email address because I get a confirmation after I sent them each time. I only had one response back with no help to my situation. I just want a replacement. I should not have to pay to send the damaged one back when it came to me damaged. No where in your return policy says that.

            On May 28,2022 I purchased a signature warmer + free wax melts, when I received my order on June 15,2022 I unpacked the box and the warmer and plugged it and the warmer does not work. I tried different outlets and still did not work. I contacted the company on the evening of June 16, 2022 via email and got no response. I have looked for additional contact information and there isn't any. I have contacted via email multiple times with no response. I just want a replacement warmer that works or a refund if nothing is available. Nothing has been resolved Order #********* ******************
