  Where do I even begin! I’m sick of dealing with ***** Fabrics, Every single order I place has a problem. When I order a store pickup, they take my money and after days, cancel the order. One order was for 5 items, every single item was not at the store? This keeps happening over and over. Then when you go online to check the order, they NEVER list the correct amount you were charged on the order, NEVER. It’s always listed at the FULL amount. I’m sick of it. Then when you reorder online (good luck trying to figure out the sale price you were previously charged for an item) you may not get it in your order. They send everything out in bits and pieces. Your whole order, NEVER comes all at once. Then there is the pain in the a** trying to call customer service. They are more often than not “home crafting.” Then when you do manage to reach the (man yes the same one has answered each time) he DOESN’T listen. Good luck explaining multiple issues, over and over. As I said, every single order I have placed has had issues. It’s BS when they “cancel” your order, yet KEEP A HOLD on your money. What was once a fun store, has gone to h#ll.

  Dear *****,
  
  
  We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the recent cancellations of your orders. The most common reason for cancellations on pick up orders is due to the unavailability of the product in the store's inventory. If a product is purchased off the shelves before the order can be fulfilled, unfortunately, it must be cancelled. Rest assured, you will not be charged for any cancelled items.
  
  
  When you place an order on *********, a temporary authorization will be placed on your payment method. This authorization will be removed once your order is shipped or picked up and the actual charge will be reflected on your payment method. In cases of multiple shipments, you may see split charges for each shipment. The authorization hold is automatically reversed, but it may take a few days for your card issuer to process this.
  
  
  For more information, please refer to our frequently asked questions at: *******************************
  
  
  If you have items cancelled from pick up orders that you wish to reorder for shipping, please contact Customer Care at ****************@********* or ************* We will gladly assist in ensuring you receive the same sales pricing and free shipping.
  
  
  Sincerely,

   I am rejecting this response because:
  
  why do they not list the amount you paid for the item on their online invoice of yours. Instead they list the full amount of the item. It’s convoluted and confusing. Other store on the items purchased, list precisely what you paid for the item. They apparently have one person answering the phone. As he recognized my voice from the day before for a problem. When I called back the next day for a different problem (not receiving an item in the box, even though the website said this was shipped to me) instead of listening- he chastised me and said, he already took care of the problem.

  i reiterate, highly disappointed in *****. 
  As I said, with every order I have place they have placed a hold on my c card and then cancelled the order. One order was for 5 items. Not to mention when I then placed the order online, it sat in “processing” for SEVEN days.

  I have contacted them by email because there is NO clear evidence that the Butterfly Fabric has been sent and there is NO evidence that it is being processed. When I called the customer Service the person just kept reading their script regarding orders. They will NOT cancel this order yet, there is no evidence that it is being sent. This seems very unfair. The item will not arrive for the needed date. When I asked when "10 business Days" would end - customer service person was very rude and just told me to look at my calendar. When I said, there were several holidays, He would not say if those were included as business days. He just kept reading the script. Obviously - Although this fabric costs about $40 the amount shown is less (Like $3.49) because I applied a coupon. I would like that coupon applied to something that is really being sent and simply cancel that not shipped fabric and IF they won't apply the coupon to the other 2 purchases, then, get the coupon amount back, so, I can at least get the money I would have gotten through their coupon. Obviously their website and customer service and apps need allot of fixing.

  Dear ********,
  
  We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. After reviewing your order, we see that all items have been shipped in three separate packages. Our standard shipping timeframe, as stated on *****.com, is 6-10 business days. The 10th business day for your order placed on 11/4/24 would be 11/18/24. We will address your experience with Customer Care internally to ensure that all inquiries are handled effectively.

   I am rejecting this response because:

  They are not apologizing for the rude, unfriendly customer service person who would not answer my question re what the date for the 10th business day was. Especially since there were 2 legal holidays.

  Also, I tried to cancel the 1 product BEFORE it was shipped but their policy would not allow it. This should have been made possible.

  This is so convoluted it's almost difficult to know where to begin. I placed an order last Sunday morning. Most of my order has been showing is pending for the past week. When I reached out to customer service about this, they say there's nothing they can do until the order ships. So, I'm in this strange loop of having a pending order that they won't ship, but being told they can't cancel the charges until I receive the items. This is currently pending on my PayPal as a pay in four. In addition to this, one of the items shipped was different than the cost that I ordered. I was charged full price for a candle that was 70% off. As you can see on the documentation I uploaded, these price differences are seen via the email that they sent me, versus the invoice total. I have been a customer of Jo-Ann in store for many years, however I will never order from them online and frankly I will never give them business again. If an a item is not available, things happen, but you can't leave the item in pending forever, hoping that someone will make a return so they can send it to you, which is pretty much exactly what it seems like. My order has partially shipped at end at this point I've been charged so many different charges I don't even know what I have been charged for, what's actually coming, etc. In addition, online when it says shipped, it says item shipped 0. I just want this whole order canceled and to be refunded in full. I don't even want to receive any of the items that have been shipped at this point.

  Dear ******,
  
  We apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused. We have carefully reviewed order number *********** and can confirm that it has been successfully processed. Regrettably, a few items had to be cancelled from your order due to unavailability at the time of fulfillment. Rest assured that you were not charged for these cancelled items. In the event that an item is out of stock during fulfillment, we will ship the remaining items and adjust your order total accordingly, including shipping costs. You will not incur any charges for items that were not shipped.
  
  Regarding the 3" x 4" Halloween Bleeding Unscented Pillar Candle by Place & Time, we have verified that you received the discounted price of 70% off, and the coupon you used was correctly applied, resulting in a price of $3.51 each plus tax. We apologize for any confusion caused by the error in the email confirmation.
  
  When you place an order on ********** a temporary hold will be placed on your payment method. Once your order is shipped, this hold will be released, and the actual charge will be processed. If your order is shipped in multiple packages, you may notice separate charges for each shipment. The hold will be automatically lifted, but it may take a few days for your card issuer to complete the process. Please note that prepaid and non-traditional account types may experience longer hold times determined by the card issuer.
  
  Sincerely,

  I recently purchased a sewing machine from Joannes fabrics in Boise, Idaho when I opened the machine, it was defective and would not work. When I contacted Joannes, they said because the box was opened I could not return it, and I needed to reach out to the manufacturer, which was *******. At that time, ******* informed me that they would not exchange it. I needed to take it to a repair shop, which to me is not the right answer. I have gotten nowhere through contacting Joanne’s customer service nor Bros. corporate customer service. I have finally gone to my credit card company and Filed a dispute for the charges. I am very disappointed in Joannes customer service, which is why I am filing this report. In my opinion, they should have exchange the machine for me in store immediately it’s taken me two weeks of dealing with both companies to get nowhere. Terrible customer service.

  I made an on-line purchase of fabric. A week or so after I made the order, I received an e-mail saying that one bolt of fabric on my order could not be sent and that they would adjust the charge on my visa account. The fabrics arrived (one or two at a time, sent from different locations) with no invoice or receipt. After I had received all, I made a request through the customer contact e-mail on the webpage. I got a nonsensical reply (telling me that they could not give me a gift card). I responded to "*******" and again on the customer e-mail. ******* replied asking me to provide all the information about the order (he had the order number already) like the amount of purchase (I don't know what the amount was after the adjustment). I gave him what I had. That was more than 10 days ago. I later sent an e-mail repeating that I need the receipt by 10/20/2024. No response

  The charges from Joann in the month of October total $118.54.   I made only one transaction with Joann in October - the on-line order ******, which was for multiple pieces of fabric.  The fabrics arrived in separate packages.   I believe the charges on my visa card represent charges for each of those packages in order #******.   There are five (5) charges:   On October 18  $29.79.  On October 26  $29.79, two charges for $22.08 and one charge for $14.80.

  11/01/2024

   I am rejecting this response because:  the invoice shows only one of the six purchases in order #******.   it shows only a tiny fraction of what the total charges were for that order.   The total should be $118.54.   I need a receipt documenting the total amount paid and showing that each purchase was for fabric.

  I made an online order in the amount of $88.17 as always computer said amount of items available is not accurate. Some items were not available. My new total with missing items is $62.50. After items were picked up. My card was charged $ 62.50. I was charged $ 150.70 for a $ 62.50 purchase. This is ridiculus!! I dont need Joanns to hold my money! I said I wasnt going to shop with store again. This is bad business. You put a $88.17 hold which was more than enough to purchase $62.50 I recieve! BE CAREFUL WITH JOANNS AND YOUR ONLINE PURCHASES! I reported them a few years ago, they dont care about customers. This is bad business!!

  This is unacceptable! Why should I have to 3- 5 business days for money you should have never took, The first charge was $88.17 because your inventory is incorrect online I was unable to purchase some items. That brought my total to $ 62.53 which should have been subtracted from the $ 88.17. Instead you debited my account another $62.53. This is double charging! I was charged a total of $ 150.70 for $ 62.53 of merchandise. I should not have to wait for 3- 5 days for money you should have charge. What a heartless response from JoAnn's, you are not my bank to hold my money that you had NO right to take! I am sharing this awful experience with every social media wreath group I can.

  We sincerely apologize for any confusion. Please rest assured that your order was not double charged.

The total for the items picked up is $62.53. The authorization hold is released on our end automatically, but may take your card issuer a few days to process on their end. If you are still showing the authorization hold of $88.17 on your end after 3-5 business days, please reach out to ************************** with the following information and we can send a request to your financial institution to release the hold on their end.

  I have two gift cards from Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores that were issued to me as merchandise credit for product returns from some time ago. The store is located at the following address: **** ** ******** ****** ******** ***** ** ***** ************  I have redeemed some of the balance on card (initially balance $119.18 and remaining balance of ~ $61 and the other, I do not believe I have used at all since it was issued to me (initial balance $97.54). I called Jo-Ann's gift card customer support (# on back of the card) today 10/23/2024. When I called the # to get the balances, automated system indicated that the cards were deactivated and accounts were closed. So I selected option from 800 # to speak to the customer support. They looked up the cards and confirmed that the accounts were indicated zero or empty. They reviewed the historical transactions and their system showed series of multiple online purchases from the cards. These cards are physical cards and have been in my possession since issued, and I have never made any online purchases. The cards have scratched off pin #'s which I just removed today. I suspect fraudulent activities associated with these cards which were issued by the store. I did request the customer service rep to escalate but they indicated nothing further could be done. The gift cards do not expire and believe that retailer should do more to investigate and understand the gaps as to how these funds were stolen from the cards that they issued. I would like to get a refund or store credit for the balances that I did not redeem. They should be able to determine this based on the evidence from their historical data.

  Business response

  10/23/2024

  Dear ****,
  
  We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused. Upon reviewing the cards in our system, we can confirm that the balance of both cards is $0 as they have been redeemed in full as recently as 10/19/24. Per our gift card terms and conditions: Terms and Conditions of Use: This card issued in U.S. dollars. This card can be used only for purchase of merchandise, services or classes at any JOANN store or online at joann.com®. Not for use in sewing or other leased departments in a JOANN store.  This card is not redeemable for cash and no change will be given, unless required by law.  Treat this card like cash.  Lost, stolen or damaged cards are replaced only with valid proof of purchase to extent of remaining balance. 
  
  
  Due to these terms and conditions, we would be unable to assist in replacing the balance of the cards you are stating was not redeemed by you. However, as a one time courtesy, we will go ahead and replace the balance(s) showing as used online in the amount of $62.48. You should receive the virtual gift card with this balance via email within 1-2 business days. The email containing the gift card will come from CashStar rather than JOANN.

  On October 3, 2024, I placed an online order from Joanns Fabrics. I ordered $86.14 in products. They charged my Truist Bank Card for the full amount which way deducted from my checking account. On October 6, 2024, I noticed two new charges from Joanns on my checking account. At first, I thought it was a hacker. I e-mailed Joanns and asked about it. They replied the next day via e-mail stating that they would continue charging my account as the items shipped and then reimburse the original $86.14 that I was charged when I ordered the items 7-14 days after everything was shipped. I was upset. I explained to them that I didn't have enough money in my account to be charged twice for the order and that I could not wait for a reimbursement. I spoke with Kimberly at Truist Bank in Pikeville, NC and explained the situation. I showed her the e-mail of Joanns policy and she was surprised, as well. The bank told me that they would deny anymore charges from Joanns and not charge overdraft fees. She told me not to add money to the account until the matter was handled and she would talk to her supervisors. Joanns faxed the bank a letter to release the original charge of $86.14 on October 7. Truist could not do that because Joanns was holding the funds, not the bank. So far, they've shipped three things out of a 15 item order. This entire experience has been a mess. I don't want anyone else to go through this. I just want my money back in my account and to never do business with Joann Fabrics again.

   I am rejecting this response because: Their policy is not good for consumers. They should not be able to submit a charge to a financial institution that they plan on reimbursing to that same account after a given amount of time. People don't have the money in their bank accounts to cover the cost of Joanns Fabrics drafting the money out at purchase AND when an item is shipped. In doing so, Joanns Fabrics is overdrafting bank accounts where people don't have the extra cash. I needed gas and other things with what little money I had left in my account and with Joanns Fabrics charging me again at shipping AFTER already taking the full amount from my account at purchase, I was left with nothing and possible overdraft fees. This is not standard business practice. I order online all the time. I have NEVER heard of a company doing this. I, as a consumer, shouldn't have to beware of this unethical practice. I am grateful that Truist Bank sided with me on this issue. Joanns even admited that this was wrong by faxing a release form for the original amount to the bank. Fraud or bad business practice? It doesn't matter. People shouldn't tolerate or accept this behavior from any online business.

  On 10/05/2024 at 11:08 am Saturday, I Brought a Brother sewing machine, My decision to buy the sewing machine was based on the sign that said, I would be able to return with a restocking penalty that was marked in 5 places in front of the sewing machines and in the front of the store. I even checked the back at the return policy (with a receipt), When I finally opened the box Sunday Afternoon at 6:24pm I realized that brand of sewing machine was not computerized and the store was closed. When I attempted to return the sewing machine after work on Monday, the store associate at the front told me she was just told they cannot do returns on sewing machines at all. Speaking to the Manager of the store, the manager stated that Jo Ann does not do returns on any electronics with receipt, Even though I showed my receipt and pointed to the signs throughout the store. The Manager informed me it was up to me to find the contact information of the manufacturer of the machine and attempt to return it to them. I would have never have bought the item at this store if I had any indication that it could not be returned, That Manager even went so far as to claim the previous associate must have told me this, even though the associate at the front of the store that day I went to do the return stated she herself was just told recently of this store policy, This was a very dishonest and troubling event. As a business, I would expect Jo Ann to abide by their own signs and return policy stated on their receipt. If they make any changes to the policy they need to add a disclaimer/clause/notice that says that. For a store to have signs all over that state that a return will be accepted and then claim otherwise misrepresents the terms of the policy and would certainly be considered an unfair and deceptive trade practice (Note the pics of the sign came from the day I was in the store trying to do the return)

  Dear *******,
  
  We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. As per our return policy outlined at *********************************************************************, electronics must be returned with a receipt in an unopened box. If products are damaged upon purchase or become defective within the warranty period, please contact the manufacturer for assistance.

   I am rejecting this response because:
  
  The signs that were printed throughout the JoANN store clearly stated verbatim "We hope you love your new machine! Please note all sewing and Cricut machine returns require a $25 restocking fee", All signs were in the store, no where in the store or on the receipt did it forewarn buyers that a return could not be made with a receipt. Just like the signs could be printed to mislead the buyers that a return was possible, signs should have been posted to forewarn the buyers that Jo Ann does not accept returns on these machines. Assumptions CANNOT be made that a user has ever been to Jo Ann's website to know that when they go to the store they will be victims of a bait and switch. This is in simple terms false advertisement.

  Dear *******,
  
  We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. The complete return policy can be found on our website by following the link provided on the purchase receipt. While the full policy cannot be printed on the receipt due to space limitations, we can certainly review the signage in our store for any necessary updates. As per our return policy, please note that we are unable to accept returns for opened machines. We recommend reaching out to the manufacturer directly to file a warranty claim for assistance with repairs or replacements. Thank you for your understanding.

   I am rejecting this response because:
  
  The statement written "we can certainly review the signage in our store for any necessary updates" says nothing about abiding by the terms of said signage, All the signs or your return receipt had to state was that all sales of machines are final if opened and I would have certainly went elsewhere  to buy a sewing machine. JOANN INC is engaging in a fraudalent sales tactic where a retailer advertises a desirable term of sales to assuage any hesitation a buyer may have about buying a product only to then blindside the customer by disowning any responsibility to carry out the expected actions  based on the offer written in the store's signage. The store posts an offer when it puts up the sign on the wall or near the product. Essentially , it offers that if you buy x, or z products from this store, we offer theses conditions if you are not satisfied.

  I am continuing to engage with this complaint because by choosing not to put the whole return policy in a clearly visible area in your store, failing to have your employees put the warning near the sewing machines and not training your employees to inform the customers that their purchase comes with a caveat, the company can continue to enjoy plausible deniabilty that the customers would assume the item can be returned or exchanged towards a different purchase. I intend to make sure through every avenue available to me through social media and word of mouth how Jo ANN engages in deceptive sales practices.
