I purchased a vacuum cleaner from this corporation and on its third use it broke. I contacted the customer service support email describing what happened and they sent me a ticket number which I initially felt good about that they would be on it with a resolution soon. That was three weeks ago and I have heard nothing and cannot reach this company. I began looking at reviews of other customers and saw that there are many many others who have just given up on trying to get an issue with the vacuum cleaners and other products resolved. Many reviews say the company cannot be contacted and that promises made to customers are never kept. To me this is terrible business practices and borderlines on fraud. If youre a company that sells merchandise, you need to be able to respond in a timely manner to system or service issues. At this point I still have no resolution from Tzumi. I hate to think I am out nearly $200 with a vacuum cleaner that is sitting here brand new and a company that wont make it right.Business response

I contacted Tuzmi on June 23 of 2022 about a defective LED rope light I purchased new. They asked for information including model and serial number which I supplied, so they could provide warranty replacement. After that intial reply, this company has not responded to ANY requests for updates even after I created a new request for help for resolution via their website. I have written several times now over the past two months. At this point, I would just like a refund of these rope lights. Unforuntately, I see HomeDepot no longer sells these in this length but as I recall the lights were on sale for around $25. Therefore a refund in the amount of $25 would be acceptable.Business response

Thank you for contacting us regarding the issues you've been experiencing with the ColorFlow Rope Lights. My sincere apologies in the delay in response. Under our one year warranty we require proof of purchase in the form of receipt as well as a photo of the damaged product. With this we can provide a replacement for you. If the proof of purchase isn't available, we can still assist. We will just need the damaged product sent in to our customer support and repairs department. Once received and malfunction is confirmed, we will be happy to replace the item for you.
I have also reached out to your previous email and look forward to finding a suitable resolution for you.

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved.Hi;
I was catching up on emails and noted that this file has been closed. I wanted to note that Tzumi did send out a replacement rope light after the BBB complaint and I was hoping that you could change the results to "consumer satisfied" to give credit to this business for making this right. Honestly, I thought I would have more than a few days to respond to the BBB as in fact the replacement just arrived in the mail.
Thank you for your efforts in this case. I don't think the manufacturer would have responded had it not been for your actions.

I purchased a back massager (profit elite serial #********** model#****) from **** that was manufactured by Tzuni, of course, the device didn't last 4 months and stopped charging. When I contacted **** they indicated it's no longer within the 90-day warranty period and I would have to contact the manufacturer directly (there is a 1-year manufacturer warranty). Their phone number obviously has been disconnected and this is their reasoning for pushing consumers to email the issue. I did email the issue and got a trouble ticket #********** on July 6th. I filled out all the details they asked for even a video showing that the port will no longers hold the charge cable contact properly. They still have not gotten back to me and this device is used for deformed muscles in my upper back that have now flared up again since I do not have the device to regulate the blood flow in my back.This is terrible customer service and I simply just want a device that works based on their policy and advertisement.Business response

I purchased a pocket hand warmer/battery pack made by this company and sold by ******** Upon opening it it was not working and would not charge, ******* wouldn't work with me because I didn't have a re iept and the very next day after my purchase it was placed on clearance so I could only get a very, very low refund and a significant loss. I contacted the company and they demanded a receipt which I didn't get because the register was out of reciept paper at the time and I was in a hurry, if I had known that Tzumi made defective products and would respond d in this way I would have never purchased the item in the first placeBusiness response

I received two Starlight LED Projectors as gifts. Model: **** S/N: KL2051**** After about 3 months one stopped charging. The chord itself works because I tested it on the another projector that we got and it worked on that one. It's the projector itself that stopped working.I contacted support and they told me I needed proof of purchase to get a replacement. Since this was a gift I have no proof of purchase or gift receipt.I have a broken projector and a serial number.I've had many warranty requests with other companies in the past and none have asked for a proof of purchase. The item is the proof itself,unless Tzumi is accusing me of stealing it or flat out lying about when I got it but since I have the S/N they should be able to just check some information on it.I think this is a convenient way to get out of honoring their warranty.Business response

Hello *******
My apologies for any confusion regarding our warranty process. We offer a one year warranty on our products which covers any manufacturing errors or damages. Just like any other manufacturer offering a warranty we require proof of purchase in the form of receipt or order confirmation so that we can confirm the date of purchase. Confirming the date of purchase is necessary for us to ensure the item is indeed still within it's one year warranty period. This is not information that can be confirmed from a serial number alone.
We can understand if this was a gift and you don't have the purchase information available. We just ask in this case that you please send the unit to our customer support and repairs department. Once received, we will confirm the malfunction and if unable to fully repair the device for you we will replace with a brand new unit. If you are interested in proceeding with sending the projector in, please contact us at **********************************. Please feel free to put to my attention ******* and I will help to get this resolved right away.
Thank you,
