Received a quilt for Christmas. When I took the quilt out of the packaging it had a very strong smell to it and then I noticed that there was paint overspray all over the blanket. Tuesday January 3rd, called into customer service - was treated very poorly, and was told a return label would be sent to the original purchaser. My spouse never received return label. Called into Corporate January 5th, explained situation, Representative transferred my call without telling me to wholesale department that was not irrelevant to my purchase. Called back into Corporate several times, keep getting transferred to same department. Final time asked to speak with supervisor but was transferred again to wholesale department. Called into general customer service, after 10 mins call says "Thank you for calling Pendleton, Please leave your name and we will get back with you". For a company this large this is unacceptable.Initial Complaint

I placed an order on the Pendleton website on 12-7-22. The item on the Pendleton website was marked down to 30%. The original price was ******. The next morning I checked the website the item was on clearance price marked down by 40%. I promptly sent an e-mail to customer service requesting a price adjustment on 12-8-22. After I sent the e-mail I saw that there was a price adjustment form to fill out. I filled it out and sent that as well. On 12-14-22 I finally got a response from customer service telling me that I needed to fill out the online price adjustment form. I replied back explaining that I already had. I never got a response, furthermore the item I ordered got sent out to me without me receiving a shipment notification. The item arrived on 12-21-22 which was a lengthy time of transit. I finally got a response to the price adjustment on 12-29-22. The response from customer service was that the price adjustment had been denied. There was no explanation why. I responded with some comments, asking why I was denied. It took customer service three weeks to respond to my initial request. I read their price adjustment policy and as a customer I adhered to their rules per an adjustment. I promptly put in the request and the item I ordered was in stock in my size for a few days after I put in my request which should have qualified me for an adjustment.Initial Complaint

Placed two orders via their online store on 12/8/22. They sent me two emails acknowledging the orders are received, however no order number or any other order status was provided. I emailed them on 12/13/22 to try and find the status of order and it is now 12/15/22 with no response. I called 12/15/22 multiple times and waited over 10 minutes each time never to reach an actual person. There is no way to reach customer service to get an order number or order status. This is unacceptable. They are quick to take your order, you can call their order line and you will get a live person within 8 minutes, and you can always order online. It's a one way street, they will gladly take your money, but good luck getting any customer service. After this is resolved I will never do business with ********* again.Initial Complaint

I had purchased from pendleton website on 11/21/2022 to christmas gifts, my order was packed and shipped however it was mislabelled with another customer so I got her order and she got my order. we both called pendleton to complain and fix the situation I got a hold of a customer service first time I called they apologized was very nice and helpful said to send the items back and that my order was already being sent back by the other person and we would both be getting our order expedited to get it in 2 days, since the mixed was there employees in the warehouse employees labeling the packages. however now one of my products was no longer available cause I got the last one sent to me that the other person received. I was disappointment but told them to refund me for the item and just sent the 2 other items they did not expedite them they sent only 1 item and never refunded me for the other 2 items now. I received the 1 item 1.5 weeks later and have been trying to get a hold of them with no response. I have emailed them, called them and waited online for 2+ hours then it hangs up, and I have left several voicemails also with no response. I paided ***** and the item I received was only ***** plus tax $26.76. I want to be refunded for my other 2 items that were never shipped or received which is $60.12 My order number for all this confusion is 3 different numbers. first one placed is SO0822955 my second # is SO0889684.Initial Complaint

-The order number is SO0746961 -The description on this item is misleading/false.-It contains Nylon but doesn't mention that, however it states "100% cotton and virgin wool"-Other bags on the site specifically mention Polyester or Cotton lining, so it's an obvious error -Unfortunately I didn't notice til around 2 months after purchase & now they're only offering a gift card, which is not ok because i'll miss out on a 25% discount -Also I have health problems, so I don't have the energy to correct their mistakesInitial Complaint

I received an email from Pendleton on 11/18 stating "A gift for you. 25% off your order with code holiday20." Nowhere on the email did it have any exclusions, so I went to their website, found a couple of blankets and went to check out only to be told that the code wasn't valid. I had to go and search in a tiny details portion on the website only to see that wool blankets, sweaters, and a multitude of other things were not part of the promotion. I spoke with customer service reps and they told me that the wool blankets never go on sale, so I ordered them on 11/19, only to get an email on 11/24 that there was a promotion of 25% off sitewide, including wool blankets. My order total was almost $600, so it makes for a good chunk of money. I reached out to their customer service and they said they would not honor it and there is nothing they will do for me. I feel deceived on multiple fronts from the first email, to them telling me the blankets never go on sale, to not even trying to meet me halfway or do anything to help. Shady dealings, and I hope you can help. Thank you.I attached the 11/18 email stating 25% off, and nowhere on the email did it have exclusions.I attached the 11/18 details portion that I had to go and search out on their website after the discount code didn't work, showing pretty much nothing was valid for that sale on their site.I attached my 11/19 order confirmation email I attached the 11/24 25% off sitewide email as well.Customer response

I purchased a backpack from ********* on 08/07/22 for (with Shipping) $125. I used the backpack ONE time and it started coming apart at the seams. It was past ********* 30-warranty, however, Pendleton itself has a 10-year warranty. I tried the email address on the tag for the backpack and the email address on their product is incorrect. I went directly to Pendleton, several emails back/forth, sent them all the information including picture and purchase information that they requested. Pendleton came back in their final email and stated I have to work with ******************** (their sister company?) and gave me an email address that is invalid. All I wanted was a new backpack or my $125 refunded. The run around has been unbelievable. I have the feeling that they simply do not want to work with people and honor their 10-year warranty....Business response
