I placed an order with Warner Music Group's store page on 11/13. One of the items, and sweatshirt was supposed to be backordered until 12/06. On 11/29, I got an email saying the item was backordered. On 12/12 I got an email that the order was canceled. I've submitted multiple claims via email asking for more information about what happened with the order, and tried calling the company many times, but gotten no response, just that due to increased volume on the holiday they can't answer emails.I've looked for the item on the website and can't even find the item in the size I ordered. I feel like this is very deceptive practice. No employees have been able to contact me about what is happening with the order and why I can't get my item. It's frustrating that their customer service also has just decided to not answer phone calls or emails because of increased volume.Business response

Hello Here is the latest update to the customer:
Hi ***********,
Unfortunately, we never received the stock for this item.
I do see that it is available in the artist's store in the **, but unfortunately it is through the artist's direct site. (Therefore, we are unable to receive any stock from them.) I have gone ahead and issued a refund for The Good Witch Cursive Cap. You can go ahead and purchase the Wand Sweatshirt from that site. Please allow up to 5 business days for the credit to post to your account.
We apologize for this frustrating experience. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

On November 15, 2024, I placed an order for 14 pink vinyl records on the official RoseareRosie website, operated by Warner. My order was confirmed via email, and the Route app also showed the status as "order placed." However, on December 3, 2024, I was informed that my order had been canceled due to an incomplete shipping address.I am extremely dissatisfied with this outcome for several reasons:The items I purchased are now sold out, and the website will not restock them. This prevents me from placing a new order.If my shipping address was incomplete, the company should have contacted me via email or SMS to request the missing information instead of canceling my order without my consent.Despite the cancellation, the payment for my order has not been refunded as of December 3, 2024.I tried contacting customer service by replying to the cancellation email. However, the responses I received were identical and unhelpful, indicating that the company cannot process canceled orders or change payment methodsdespite my email not requesting a payment method change. This suggests the responses are automated and not from a real representative.The website does not provide any phone number for customer support. When I submitted my concerns through the online form, I again received another automated response, which failed to address my issue.The website seems to have significant issues. I found that the product page for the sold-out items I ordered still allows users to place orders. Similar to my original purchase, these orders are confirmed, and payments are deducted from the bank account, but there is no clarity on whether the orders can be fulfilled.This experience has been highly frustrating and unprofessional. I expect a proper resolution, including a refund for my original order and an explanation of how this situation occurred.Business response

I purchased a boxed set of music on pre-order on 9/6/24. I paid $226.97. I received confirmation and a tracking number, ************. As 0f 9/20/24, the package was said to be in ******, **, around 125 miles from my residence. No further tracking info was available as of 9/26/24. I made several attempts on both 9/26 and 9/27 to contact Dead-net via their customer service number. I continue to get a message that 'no one is available' from *******. I emailed Dead-net on 9/26, 24 hours ago, and have received no response in 24 hours. I contacted ***** who could not provide any further information. I find this lack of attention to customer service unacceptable. I pre-ordered and paid for this package. I want to know where my package is, I want it delivered, and if it is lost, I want a new one expedited to me. An apology for the poor response time, and the lack of a functioning phone number (even though the number appears on Dead-net's own website) would also be in order.Business response

On 07/01/2022 I placed an order with Warner Music Group, I ordered a ******************* Long Sleeve T-Shirt. I paid a total of $40.27, $30 for the shirt, $7.99 for shipping and handling (plus $2.28 including tax).After 2 years of waiting my order has not been delivered and I havent received any form of update regarding my order. I reached out a few months after the order was placed asking for an update. **************** only provided that the order was currently processing and that Id receive a shipping confirmation once it ships from the werehouse. I never received a shipping confirmation so I decided to reach out again a few months later, unfortunately its now been over a year since customer support has returned my emails. ********************** has not tried to contact me or resolve the issue in any way, *** sent multiple requests for order updates only to be ignored. I have screenshots of my order confirmation, my emails to support, and their responses to my inquires. Unfortunately, this whole experience has ruined their image for me. I just wanted to support one of my favorite artists, but after 2 years of waiting for nothing Id just like a refund for trouble at this point. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you for your time.Business response

The refund has already been returned, thank you for that. A customer service representative from your ********************** offered me two free items on October 2nd, but has not responded to my emails since then. I was genuinely surprised by the offer and graciously accepted, but now were just back to where we started. Im being ignored by your company again and this second time is the nail in the coffin for me. Its ridiculous that requesting help from your company is met with silence and the only way to get a response from your company is to go through the BBB.

I ordered a vinyl from the store on June 19th and realized I put in the wrong address so I requested that the store change the address on on the exact same day that I ordered. A day later I just requested to cancel my order. They shipped my order a week later on June 26th even after I requested that the store not ship it and cancel my order. Almost a month later they still have not given me the package nor a refund. I just found out they shipped it anyway and delivered it to a random place in **********. I live in ******* and both of the addresses I provided were in ******* so they shipped the package to a completely random state (not even to the wrong address I provided) after requesting to cancel my order and get a refund several times. It has been almost a month and they have not reached back to me and they have completely ignored all my requests. I spent almost 50 dollars and they have not given me my item or my money back. I have attached screenshots of all the emails I sent to them (they ignored all of them) and my order information.Business response

Hello,I purchased a vinyl box set of an artists work, and another item from RHINO Entertainment/Warner Music Group. The amount was debited from my bank account. I made the purchase on May 8th and was debited from my checking account (****************) the following day. I have received no items. I have not received an order # confirming the purchase. I reached out to RHINO Entertainment for a week attempting to get a resolution (an order #), to no avail. I am at wits end. There is no customer service #.

I made a preorder purchase earlier this month and I put the wrong address down. I contacted customer support and they cancelled my order and told me to reorder the items. My only issue is those items are sold out and were a limited signed amount so I have no way in repurchasing my items. Contacted customer service multiple times and no one has gotten back to me with a solution or even an email back following up with my situation. They dont have a phone number to call and its only email only. I dont think they should have cancelled my order without permission and the fact that they havent emailed me back is another reason why I am upset with this site. I didnt want the order cancelled.Business response

I ordered nearly a month ago, Ive been told twice that my order will ship but Ive yet to receive any shipping notifications. This is utterly ridiculous that they cant get orders out in a timely manner, and their only offer is a 10% discount on future orders which I cant use because I will NEVER be ordering from here again! I want my product and a refund for the inconvenience. At this point, Im not convinced they even have the vinyl I ordered in stock, though they claim to.Business response

I understand it may have been necessary to process the refund, but how do I know when my order has shipped, since you've stated you're prioritizing the shipment? Will I get tracking information?
