I am a ** resident on vacation in *******. I used a $100 e-voucher to purchase Elvis is Back Sessions box set 3 weeks ago online and did not receive it.Although the web **** said order confirmed and gave tracking info the **** just shut down so l didnt get the order ref and tracking details.Strangely, l didnt get a confirming email which made me wonder if the order had actually gone through correctly, however the correct amount was debited from my voucher.I tried telephoning 3 times and every time the Graceland operator transferred me to the shop it went to answerphone.I have sent 3 emails simply asking for confirmation that they received the order, that it was sent, the *** tracking number and exactly where it went but have had no response.I also emailed ******* ****** direct twice and had no response.I had to evacuate to a new location due to Hurricane ****** and l go back to the ** next week. I find it incredible and unacceptable service that over a 5 week period of my vacation that this hasnt been resolved with not even the courtesy of a response.The whole point of ordering this item while l was in the ** was to save on the postage which, to the UK, was almost as expensive as the item.Business response

I wasnt contacted about refund or tracking as they state but accept the refund which l assume will be returned to the e-voucher l used. I still want the goods but it is now too late to re-order before l go back to ****** next Tuesday. So would Graceland accept the additional postage cost to ** as a goodwill gesture as l have been messing about emailing them with no response for 4 weeks of my vacation.

Very run down and overpriced. There is no actual tour. Spent time waiting in lines to get on the bus and to get back standing in extreme heat. ******* is mainly closed out and you can only see downstairs area. Pathways are narrow and crowded. Airplane is dangerously hot inside and once you are in, you are trapped there between people. Very unsafe. No plan on where to go to see exhibitions. Staff is nice and friendly but not professional. Family is just making money on silly visitors. Zero healthy food options or options for people with allergies.Business response

We are very sorry you were unhappy with your experience with us. We get many compliments on the tour and our site as many guests do not realize our property is more than just a tour at the mansion but also includes ******* sq ft of exhibits at our plaza. We understand that weather can be a factor in the tour going to and from the mansion, but the plaza allows you to move within it enclosed climate controlled areas due to these factors.
Due to the mansion being a historical landmark we have kept it the same and authentic and we have had 20+ million guests visit with us and navigate the structure and are sorry you had issue with it.
I am sorry the planes felt overcrowded, and the temperature were warm, and we will follow up with our staff to keep better monitoring of this attraction due to the nature of the tour there. The exhibits in our plaza are self-guided but lead from location to location. I am sorry if you were confused and did not seek assistance from our staff.
In our food and beverage operations we do have some offering of a healthy nature and have added in items gluten free, etc. In addition to the options at Graceland many guests also take advantage of our shuttles over to our hotel and will also find offerings there if looking for more of a variety of items to eat.
We appreciate you bringing these items to our attention, and we will share with our department management.

Graceland was a disgrace and a waste of money. We purchased 4 tickets, totaling $325. When we arrived we were met with broken, turned off, and unkempt displays, leading to great disappointment. Among them were the Interactive experiences including the golf cart tour, the movie poster interactive display, the album cover interactive display, the elvis suit interactive display, both elvis VR serenades, the LED dance floor quiz, the other interactive game, and more. None worked. The ones that did sent phots sent "?" with no images attached.Throughout the museum many displays relied on TVs. 80% of the tvs were off, the others had sound turned off. Turned off tvs included through the entire museum facility, in the planes, and in **************.The buildings were filthy, with overflowing trash cans, spilled beverages, and not a single clean table in the diner. The walls were very generously decorated with TVS showing white fuzz. The ice machine was overflowing onto the floor,When out 3:15 tour arrived, we found out that the time didn't matter, we were surrounded by other people with past and future tour times including a 2:00, a 3:30 and even an 11:00. After a wait, we sat in a hot room for 20 minutes waiting to see a video. We were given ipads. Of the 4 ipad headphone combos, 0 fully worked. Headphones had shorts or just didn't play, even after switching, I had to do the tour with only 1 ear working. items in the house were broken and dusty, including the basement room.I complained to 2 people in person, and literally got no response, not an im sorry, not a talk to this person just a lost expression and a ill look into itI did email Graceland asking for a refund and this was their response. Were sorry that the experience did not live up to our standards or what our guest standards are. We are looking into all areas you addressed in your email and hope to someday see you back here at Graceland so that we can change your tour experience.Business response

I am rejecting this response because: Another trip is not a fix to the situation. I want a refund. Things should have been functional and open the first time we were there. You had plenty of opportunity to warn customers about displays being closed, technical difficulties, or other situations. Signs, website, or social media updates would have been plenty sufficient. Thing's could have been done when we complained in person, they were pushed aside. We could have been presented with working headphones when asked, they could not be produced. we were even told we "didnt need them" and the experience would be "the same without them." which is obviously not true.The experience was miserable the first time and we will not be back. It is 7 hours away. My elderly mother, a life long Elvis fan, said the whole debacle was a " despicable money grab using Elvis' name" and will not return. Truly shameful that you will not give a refund, especially with the documented/photographic proof of the situations.

October 28th, I purchased a sweatshirt online. For reference, I had previously purchased another sweatshirt in the same size (M) as the order in October. So I was pretty surprised when I opened the package of the new medium sweatshirt to find it was the size of an xl plus - you could fit two people in it. Clearly defective. I contacted Graceland (with pics) they shared that I could return it but they would not provide a return label except for their reasons listed (one of which is defective merchandise!). But I was not going to receive a return label. Which is utter nonsense and appears to be a common practice of theirs, based on other reviews here. They appear to send out a lot of defective merchandise and then its the customers problem. I decided to do a chargeback with our cc so they could address this issue. We even told them, we werent looking for the whole amount. We would return the sweatshirt, we just wanted a return label or refund for shipping. Well, the bank was taking forever to investigate the claim so we didnt want to miss the return window, so we returned the item on our own expense. AND we closed out the chargeback. Currently, Graceland has received the defective sweatshirt, we have sent them evidence of the chargeback being CLOSED and all they are doing now is sending me emails that I have to close the chargeback. Plus, whenever we call to find out what the problem is now, we get shuffled to a voicemail box that does not return calls, just the same email. This has been going on for two months now! At this point, this is theft as they have my money and the merchandise.Business response
01/09/2024
First, I apologize for the delay in my response as I had a death in my family was out of the office until 1-8-24. I followed up in with our merchandise team when we first received on ***** and learned the following.
When contacted we were not told that the item was defective but that it did not fit. Our policy is not to supply return labels on items that do not fit. We did receive the item back but have not been able to process the return due to the chargeback that was filed with their bank. Our system prevents us from processing until that is cleared. We understand they are trying now to reverse the chargeback from their bank but to date we have not received word from the bank that it has cleared it therefore the charge back is still applied to this order. Once the chargeback is resolved we can process the return.
If the guest has info that can be shared that this has been cleared and we can see that it has been reported to our system we can process the refund.

Complaint: 21046819
I am rejecting this response because:firstly, the item is clearly defective and they know that. When you send a sweatshirt that is supposed to be a size medium that can fit a 300 pound person, it is more than it just doesnt fit, it was made incorrectly. And compared to the other sweatshirt I bought in the SAME size (pictures were sent to Graceland), it would be obvious by anyone.
As for the chargeback, Graceland knows that its been reversed and not only have I contacted them before the end of the year but also has ********* from the credit card used. going to a funeral on the 8th, while sad, has nothing to do with the fact that from at least the middle of December we have told them the chargeback was reversed AND sent documentation.
we have continued to call with no response. If only one person is able to do the credit but theyve been at a funeral, they need to revisit their business practices to allow more than one person to complete this transaction.
the bottom line is this company is either fradulent in their practices or the people there are just dumb. from what I see here on BBB, Im guessing 50/50.
so in conclusion, we arent sure what else we are supposed to do besides drive you to our bank and introduce you to our banker so he can show you in person the reverse of the chargeback? Let me know.
Sincerely,
***********************Business response
01/09/2024
After speaking again with our Merchandise team here is what is needed. ******** has to notify the credit card company of the reversal who notifies our credit card processor and we cant issue a refund until that is done. We have not received any notification from the credit card company via our processer that this has been resolved so we cant issue the refund until that is done. As soon as that is done we can proceed with the refund. Thank you.

I am rejecting this response becauseAgain, our banker not only sent an email confirming that the chargeback was reversed but also attempted to call and as is typical for Graceland, got nowhere with your end (see below) what should be done is: credit our account and then figure out what your problem is on your end. I should not have to wait ** you all dont know what you are doing.
Also, you cant have it both ways, tell me to have our bank call to confirm that the chargeback is reversed and when he does, not work with him.

I have not received a reply to the email I sent last week. I called the number I found on the Graceland website, and was transferred to multiple representatives for the Graceland Official Store, which did not lead anywhere as I am a 3rd party in their eyes.

I purchased a t-shirt from the online Graceland Official Store on November 7, 2023. I received the shirt on November 14. The stitching is coming off of the back of the collar. When I reported the defective item to the store, they replied the next day that I was to send photographic evidence, which I immediately did. Since then, I have not heard back from the store. I have called twice to ensure that they received the email and to inquire as to why I haven't received my refund. The agent keeps telling me that my request will go to the refunds department, yet no one contacts me. Here is my invoice #S148704. The King has indeed left the building.Business response

I recently stayed at Gracelands guest house and took a tour of Graceland. It was an amazing tour but they didnt have the necklace I had seen online. After getting home I placed an order for that, some perfume and a beach towel. I never received the item. I filed a complaint and contacted them multiple times about my items not having been received. I did provide them with my police report number. I informed them I was told to reach out to the Graceland store by the police department as well as the **** because my items had been stolen. Even my leasing office was looking into it and the manager of the **** came out to talk with them. After waiting a few weeks to hear back, I got an email from the Graceland store just saying the package shows delivered. You have to check with your local post office. I already stated on the phone and in multiple emails that I already did that. Instead of just sending me the items and putting in the directions to leave it with my leasing office instead of out in the open they are doing nothing. I just got back from spending considerable money for the trip of a lifetime as I am a third generation Elvis fan. I felt that this was handled unfairly as I have no control over the post office leaving my package out where anyone can take it. I am completely disappointed that business is handled this way after how amazing everyone was that I spoke to while I was there in person. I guess people in apartments cant order online from their store. ****** learned.Business response

We can tell they hate their job. Very disappointing. I get it people have bad days. But EVERYONE just didnt seem like they cared about anything.
