    The first hose I bought broke the faucet connection after 6 weeks of use making it totally unusable for the last of the gardening season. The second hose for which I faithfully and carefully followed the instructions lasted the gardening season. I hooked the hose for this season, very carefully hooking it to the faucet and used it to water my container plantings. The nozzle end separated completely from the fitting. I was sprayed and soaked before I could get to the faucet - 6 feet away - and turn the water off. So your pocket hose has broken at both ends no matter how careful I was in the use. I am hoping you will put this on line as a warning to all those who believe this hose is meant for a garden season. I have already discussed this with my neighbors, family and friends who were interested in buying the hose and advised against the purchase.

    I had ordered 2 products in 28th August 2014. I received one on 10th Sept. The second one I did not receive. From that day until today, I have been following up for either the product or refund. On 8th December they told me refund is processed. Today is 23rd December and they are not even giving me the transaction id. simply because it hasn't been refunded.

    I ordered a product from TeleBrands paying through credit card on 15th Oct 2014, the order number is **. I haven't received the order till date. Initially they told me that I will receive the order on 30th Oct. When I called them on 30th they informed me that my order dispatch date is 30. Hence I will receive my order by next week is on 6TH Nov, but till date I haven't received the order as well as they are not willing to refund me back my money without rejecting to accept the order. Even I marked them a mail complaining about the service but in vain they didn't bother to reply. Disgusting company not to be trusted.

    I had ordered for an Air lounge on 24-09-14 booking No. **. They will give us only booking no. and assure that we will get the item by 10 days. After 10 days a message was received that the item is shipped and will get delivery by 7 days. After 20 days I sent a message on 15-10-14, that I did not receive the delivery of the air lounge and I would cancel the order. I received the delivery on 15-10-14 afternoon by the courier. After receiving I came to know that the item is of China made and doesn't have patent, not ISI mark, and every 5 days after filling air there is a small pinhole occurring every time and is of low quality. When I called the customer care they deny to replace/payback and all the postage and handling will be ours. As we have already paid postage and handling by ourselves while received cost rs. 820/-, even now we have to be bare is not the consumer rules. Better to buy from the nearby shops instead.

    I was interested in purchasing a product from TeleBrands called the Facelift Wand by calling 1-800-615-3409 but before ordering I had questions. I asked about ordering the wand outright for the advertised price of $39.99 without purchasing the "30 day free trial for $14.99" and was told the only offer she had was the 30 day trial for $14.99. Then I asked about the 2 month supply of "facial cream" that came with the wand and asked if this would be auto shipped after the initial 60 days and she had no answer for that and that she didn't know if it was available separate.

    I then called the TeleBrands Customer Service number 1-855-668-1655 and the guy that I spoke with told me that the cream wasn't available separate and that I would be billed EVERY 2 MONTHS $39.99 and receive ANOTHER WAND with the face cream and this would be on AUTO SHIP!!! I told him he was nuts and why would ANYONE pay $39.99 every 2 months to keep getting add'l wands?

    I then called TeleBrands directly in Fairfield NJ at 1-973-227-8777 and informed them about the erroneous information that "customer service" was giving to the consumers. The rep I spoke with said it would not be on auto ship and was a one time order and that included with the package with the wand and cream I would be provided with a toll free number to order the cream separate!

    She didn't seem too concerned that customer service is telling people about the $39.99 auto ship every 2 months and I have a feeling that they are FULLY AWARE about this but won't do anything about it because all they care about is suckering the customer into being charged another $39.99 for this product every 2 months and you know the hassle the customer would have to go through with their bank or credit card company to stop this and by then TeleBrands will already have received God knows how much money from consumers who are being wrongly charged for their product! Also some people wouldn't bother to ask for refunds either because of the hassle they would have to go through to get it back. Needless to say I certainly didn't order the product for fear I would get charged the $39.99 again regardless of what the woman rep was telling me from the company itself. I'm filing this report to let you know that something wrong is going on here and to help other victims of this. TO ME, obvious scam!

    Ordered a product at regular delivery of 3 to 4 weeks. Did not choose to pay for rapid delivery of 2 to 3 days. Have not received the product in 8 weeks and counting. Was told by a rep today that high demand ran them out of stock but I could cancel order, reorder and pay for fast delivery and get it 2 to 3 days. If the product is out of stock, how does it magically appear if shipping is paid? Not good practice by Telebrands.

    This is a scrap product. My entire money has gone for a waste. The product is not at all durable as it is shown on the advertisements. On the day I received the parcel, I Inflated Air in it but after an hour the air started deflating from the Sofa. I inform Telebrands about this. They told me to send back the items through reliable courier. I send back and got back the replaced one in one and half month. On scrutiny, it was found that the same sofa has been sent back to me with the same problem. I again spoke to the customer executive in Mumbai and he was reluctant to help me out. He was answering my phone call in yes and no before hanging up the phone. He gave me the example of balloon which starts deflating after an hour and so this sofa also start deflating on the same as in case of balloon. I have given a written complaint through mail to Telebrands on 30/07/2014 but no reply from the Telebrands till I am writing this post. Do not believe in the advertisement of Telebrands. They sell all scrap product. What you see in the advertisement is just the opposite of the one you receive. Please think twice before buying any products from Telebrands India.

    I wanted to try this product so I called up the toll free number. First off, the entire order process was automated, which I actually prefer! So far, so good. My order was placed, but I had to begin navigating a lengthy labyrinth of "But wait, we have more deals for you!" for $** more, you can get double the amount. I thought, "eh, why not". "BUT WAIT, for only ** more you get freeeeeeee shipping AND MOOOOORE PEE PADS!!! "Okay, sounds alright." "BUT WAIT!!!!! For only X more dollars, we will throw in a $40 gift card to Walmart AND a $15 rewards to Telebrands!" I thought that was a pretty good deal, so I placed the order. I was charged roughly $70 for the whole transaction. The order was placed around January 20th I believe? It's far back enough to where my mobile banking app can't find the record of it, and it will allow me to look as far back is February 4th, and now we wait for it to come in.

    Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. It finally arrived May 18th (A little longer then the already substantial 6-8 business week shipping time). I got home, and opened up the box. It contained 2 smaller boxes, a cleaning spray, and some loose papers. The boxes contained the large amount of pee pads. The cleaning spray was an unexpected surprise, little did I know that it would be the most useful thing in the box.

    I set up the first pee pad. What it didn't do is help the dog in the direction of the pee pad. I didn't even need the dog to pee on the bull's eye. I was hoping the science educed pheromone technology might assist the dog in getting trained indoors. I didn't expect the dog to get it the first time, so I tried again and again. The dog seemed upset with it, and would whine like it's getting hurt every time we pulled a new pad out. Very strange. The pee pads did do a few unexpected things though. 1. It made our cat go nuts and 2. It attracted ants, they seemed very fascinated with the pee pads.

    I thought oh well, I can just call customer service about the whole 100% customer satisfaction thing. However, they couldn't do anything because it has been more than 30 days since I placed the order. I know of better ways to waste $60, but I'll hold onto the pee pads I guess since I can't return them. They have bull's eyes on them, so I might go out and buy a $60 bow, and use them as targets, seeing as a 10-pack of targets cost me around $7.

    I examined the gift card that came in the box for the $40 to Walmart. It tells me I'm actually signing up to be eligible to possibly receive a gift card at the cost of $15.99 a month. No thanks, but I was charged for it anyways. How about this voucher for $15 for Telebrands? Seems legit so far when entering the code. All of a sudden, it gives me an error message saying it's expired?! It doesn't expire till August 8th! I call customer service, no answer, call again, no answer. I call one more time, and someone picks up, with very choppy English. I explain the situation only to be told that the card is expired, and to have a good day, followed by a click.

    The bill in the box tells me I was charged $58 for the order. Which confuses me that $70 dollars was taken for the order (especially since shipping and processing was free). I personally won't be ordering from them again. I wish I could have come to some resolution. But plain and simple, I'm just out $70.

    I ordered from this company for a product that they advertise. Due to some computer/internet issues, there were multiple orders placed for the one item when I only wanted one. I called the customer service number immediately after I realized the error and was "guaranteed" that I would only get ONE item and not multiple - this was Saturday. On Monday I saw that there were still 3 of the same product under different order numbers being ready to process. I called again to the customer service number. First, the representative was very rude and almost seemed like I was bothering him. Then he as well said that I would only get one item.

    Today my charge card was charged for three of the same item. (Today is Wednesday.) So I called again and got "Thomas" (or at least that is what he claimed his name was). He was not listening to my issue and was not helping at all with the resolution of making sure I only got one item. I continuously asked for a manager. He refused over and over again and started to get an attitude with me. Finally after 25 minutes he finally let me talk to a manager. Then the manager said she could only stop one order. I told her after the service I have received that I did not want the product at all and would never do business with them again. From that all she could tell me is that when the product gets delivered to "refuse the delivery" and when they got it back they would refund my account. This process can take up to 3 weeks.

    Ordered back in March 2014, then found that Bed, Bath & Beyond had it at less than half the price. Called same day to cancel and got the old "it's not in our system yet, call back in two business days" line. Called back in two days to cancel and they hung up on me. Called back and finally got a cancellation number and was told the order was cancelled.

    The very next day, they charged my credit card and shipped the order. When I called to complain, they said there was nothing they could do, and that when it arrived I should refuse delivery and they would refund my money. I refused delivery on April 2, 2014 -- had to take it to the post office to do this. It is now April 28, 2014 and the charge is still on my card. When I called to complain, they said there is nothing they can do, because FedEx has it that the order was delivered successfully. In order to get my refund, I should call FedEx and get them to upgrade the status to "refused." Well, guess what? FedEx can't do this because it handed the package off to the post office for delivery. The post office won't do a thing, and FedEx referred me back to TeleBrands.

    This company is a scam and a fraud and after reading the other complaints, I can't believe that the authorities allow them to continue doing business. However, although they give their corporate address as Fairfield, NJ, I think that's just a front. They appear to be based in India, so that's how they get away with it. STAY AWAY from this company and all of their "As Seen on TV" garbage. I may never get my refund at this point.

    We purchased two Pocket Expandable Hoses in April 2013. We expected the hoses to last more than two months. We had other hoses that lasted years. While they did expand and retract, both hoses external material ripped away from the nozzle and the rubber internal hose developed a large bubble and burst on both hoses. Both hoses also could not be tightly attached to the spicket. We returned the hoses to the retail purchasing store and obtained a refund. We were very disappointed in this product, would not purchase in the future, and would not recommend to others.

    I ordered a 75' hose on 11/22 and wanted to order the 100' hose also, but the operator "didn't know how to do that" and suggested that customer service could add the second hose. I called back to do so and reached someone who "didn't know how to do that'" again. The third person suggested that we cancel the first order and start all over. Their commercial said that if you order one hose, you would get a second hose for a S&H charge. I wanted 4 hoses in total and was given a total price of $111.94. I called 12/14 to check the status and was told that the order was on hold. I called again and talked with someone else and was not happy. I asked to speak to a supervisor. That man told me that if I wanted 4 hoses in total, I would have to pay that charge twice and that I would have to pay for the "sweeper" attachment separately, plus I wouldn't get it before Christmas. I was so upset that I had them cancel the entire order. So here I sit with no hoses and I have to find something else for my gifts. I say it's a total scam and to avoid Telebrands at all costs!

    On Nov. 7, 2011; I ordered a Aluma Wallet and because of the way it is represented online. It is totally confusing and I ended up with 5 wallets instead of 2. Of course none of this showed up until the item was ordered. There was no preview. In their FAQ it says you can correct the order by calling. Well, I called back and spoke to a representative and was told it was not in the computer yet. I called them back the next day and I was told the order will be put on hold. I did that two days in a row (so the hold should have gotten through) although they tell you it isn't a guarantee - it seems a lot of people have this issue.

    Nov. 8, 2011 - I checked my credit card and the charge was on there. I found out by calling 1800-777- 4034 that they still didn't have it in their system (why). I don't know. When I called on the 9th, I was told it was being processed and I asked, "How could it have been processed if it's supposed to be put on hold or take several weeks before it is sent? I asked for my order to be cancelled". Then they told me they can't cancel the order as it's been shipped. I then asked, "How could you ship it if you told me to call back within 24 to 48 hours to get it corrected. They told me when I receive it, just refuse or do not open it and take it back to UPS. That is a lot of work for me. Their customer service is really bad and they have deceptive buying tactics and they lie in saying you can get it corrected before it is sent. They must purposely make you wait those two days so they can get it out.

    I am officially disputing this order because: 1. I was mislead on by the online advertisement as to how many I ordered. 2. They told me the order was on hold and it wasn't (in fairness to them one person said it wasn't a guarantee) but they play with your mind or at least their people are trained to. 3. I was told it was being processed and could not be cancelled then told it was already shipped. 4. The total of what I ordered was supposed to be1 Wallet for $10.99 upgrade the order to a higher quality wallet for 15.98 plus a free one for only $4.99 shipping. The total was supposed to be $20.98 and not $59.20. I feel this was an illegal transaction and I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau, Consumer Affairs and find out if there is any legal resources I can access to stop this kind of misleading advertising. In the meantime, I will return the package as soon as it arrives.

    I should get all my money back including shipping since it originally was supposed to be free shipping and they charged my account for it. I was told it was on hold then told it was being processed (which it was never supposed to come off "hold"), then told it has already been shipped when I wanted to cancel it (still supposed to be on hold). I only ordered 1 wallet and prompt said if I upgrade to better constructed wallet I would get another one free with free shipping. I wound up with 5. By the way, they did say they would email me before they mailed it out (that didn't happen).

I then asked, "How could you ship it if it's still being processed and it was supposed to be put on hold and now you want to charge me with the shipping? That's illegal!" They emailed me a prepaid shipping label to put on it to send it back.

    I got the shipping label through email then I printed it out while waiting for this package that was supposed to be put on hold. I got the package on October 30, 2011. I opened up the package and found out they had shipped me 8 baskets and 4 Robo Stirrers. I took photos of all these then repackaged it and called UPS. I would have had to pay for the pick-up so I drove down to UPS in Festus, MO to send it back.

    My original order was supposed to be for 1 basket and if I doubled the order they would send another one free of charge as long as I upgraded the basket to a sturdier one for only a few dollars more with no shipping. I meant the order was only for 2 baskets. No one told me there are 2 baskets per box from them. How I wound up with 8 baskets is beyond me but the price was supposed to be $14.99 and not $53.94.

    The shipping should not be paid for since I did not authorize the completing of this transaction. I went to Wal-Mart and opened a box with the Chef's Basket in it and there was only 1 in the box - not 2! On October 31, 2011; Jed, from customer service told me to take it back to UPS to ship it. They don't have prepaid pick up and further said that if I was told that it was "on hold" that it wasn't guaranteed to be "on hold". He also said that shipping is not included in the refund.

    I am officially disputing this charge to my account because: 1. I was mislead on the teleprompts as to how many I ordered. 2. They told me the order was on hold and it wasn't. 3. I was told it was being processed and could not be cancelled then told it was already shipped. 4. There were 2 baskets in 1 box when it normally has 1 basket in the box. 5. Shipping was charged on something that was either supposed to be put on hold or not shipped. I never authorized to send it.

    6. I have photos of what I was shipped. The total of what I ordered was supposed to be1 basket for $10.00, upgrade the order to two of higher quality wire for only $4.99 and there will no shipping involved. The total was supposed to be $14.99 and not $53.94. I feel this was an illegal transaction and I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau, Consumer Affairs and find out if there is any legal resources I can access to stop this. In the meantime I do not want them to have my money.

    I should get all my money back including shipping since it originally was supposed to be free shipping and they charged my account for it. I was told it was on hold then told it was being processed (which it was never supposed to come off "hold") then told it has already been shipped when I wanted to cancel it (still supposed to be on hold). I only ordered 1 basket and prompt said if I upgrade to better wire I would get another one free with free shipping. I wound up with 8.

    My wife ordered one RoboStir for $9.99. The company took $80.06 out of my checking account. When I talked to the company, they kept telling me my wife had ordered two of them, and at the time my wife bought the item, they kept trying to sell her items that she did not want.

    I received a card in the mail saying my ordered item is currently on back order, and that my credit card will not be charged until the merchandise is shipped. I did not order anything from this company, have never ordered anything from this company. Has it been under another name? Anyway, they have order numbers, descriptions, and quantities of items I do not even need (no one in my household does). The company wants me to sign the card and return it post paid to them if I wish to cancel. Where could this have come from? What can I do? I plan to call the BBB NJ tomorrow.

    After viewing the Shoes Under advertisement on TV, I ordered the storage system online. I thought I was ordering what was advertised. When it arrived, the storage system shipped was just the plastic compartment part. I then called the company and was told that I had to purchase the deluxe model in order to receive a sturdier storage system and could not purchase just the inserts for the ones previously bought.

    The plastic storage system is flimsy, hard to navigate in closet or under a bed, and are completely unacceptable. I bought eight storage systems; what a waste of money. I feel that the items being advertised are misrepresented on both TV and on the Web and they should state that the model we are viewing is the deluxe model or supply their customers the opportunity to buy inserts for the malfunctioning system they are now selling. I bought the system some months ago, and I think the return option is out of the question. $80.00 plus shipping and handling is the financial loss. I could have bought the same thing flimsy Shoes Under from Walmart or CVS for less money if that was what I wanted. I wanted the Shoes Under that they advertised.

    Then ***, aged 36, residing at *** Tuticorin, Tamilnadu. I gave order for air lounge and got the same through VPP. Within a week itself, the air has got leaked slowly and become useless within an hour. Then again I tried to fill up the air but I got the same result. So I have mailed to Tele Brands India regarding this issue and asked them to assist me to rectify this problem but even up to today, there was no response from them. Even though the price is high, I had brought the product because of the brand name. But I think now that I was cheated cheaply by them by not responding or assisting me in this issue. I don't know how to rectify this problem. Rs. 6000+ is not a small amount for me.So I need an action to assist me to solve this problem by returning back my money or replacing the product with a new one. Waiting for your reply.

    I went to place an order for a product called Heeltastic. The product was $10 with a free bonus and free manicure kit. I ordered 2 of the same. On the website, shipping is $6.99. Then after I was done with the order, it came out to $20 for both and $27.96 for shipping. I could not believe how much shipping was so I looked to see how long it will take to get to my house and it will take 3 to 6 weeks not days to get to my house. I thought I was being overcharged for shipping of a product that only cost $20. Not even 15 minutes later, I called TeleBrands about this.

    I was told because I just ordered the product it was not yet in their system so the gentleman named Vincent placed a "hold" on my order. The next day I checked my bank account online, and would you believe it, they had already started a transaction of $47.96 on my account. I called again and spoke to another gentleman and he said to me that my order was not showing as processed, and I told the gentleman how could that be if it's showing up as a money transaction on my bank account. He assured me that there was nothing he could do at the moment and that Vincent placed a "hold" on the order and not worry and call tomorrow.

    So I did and guess what, now all of sudden Vincent can't help me because the order was processed. What a joke! Now I have to wait for the product to get to my house, which will take 3 to 6 weeks, then I have to return it and wait another 10 days to get a refund. If this company will treat me this way now, what will happen if they start taking money of my account because they want to and can? I will never order from this company again and I'm calling my bank not to let any other transactions with TeleBrands come through, of course after my refund.

    I bought the product Jupiter Jack, I used it 2 weeks when the control of the volume stopped at one level, "low" you would try to raise it but nothing, but god forbid you didn't turn it back down before turning it off, the radio would blast out a full volume. Since it was just two weeks, I of course did not save the box it came in, so I knew no store was going to accept that even with a receipt, so I called the company, the person I spoke with kept telling me to raise the volume on the radio, well duh!

    He refused to hear me when I was telling him, it's as high as it can go. I repeated it over and over to him with no results, asked him if I could speak to his manager or someone else and he refused. My next step was the B.B.B. and they totally ignored them. They (B.B.B.) wrote me back and asked if I wanted to start arbitration proceedings, I said for a $10 item? And that's where we are I now. More than anything, I want the word out, to hear how this company (Telebrands) doesn't back it's own product and how useless and unfriendly it's customer service is. In this day and time, it may only be $10, but I cannot afford to throw away any money.

    As stated above, I cannot afford to just throw money away. A company should back it's product especially after only having it for 2 weeks.

    This company offered the Crazy Critters stuff animals for dogs for sale. These toys have no stuffing inside, making them ideal for dogs who like to bite and tear the animals. When I went on their website to place the order, I noticed that the prices were extremely expensive. When I finally arrived at the webpage with the total cost, I changed my mind and never confirmed the sale.

    Three weeks past and these people sent me an email claiming they were sending me the merchandise. I called them and told them I did not want it so they gave me a return authorization number and promised me a credit on my card. They also said they would pay for me to ship the product back. Ultimately, they did refund the money back to my credit card, but they refused to pay me for my return shipping. I am out of the $15.95 for shipping the merchandise back, which is not a lot of money. But I wanted to alert other consumers to the tactics these people are employing.
