Sharper Image

Was refunded an odd amount so I emailed their customer service as it states on the 'processing my order' return email (no phone number on email, have to look up on their site). Did not hear back from them so I called them. They said the amounts totaled shipping to me (7.95) and return (7.95). I said but it says on your site, FREE RETURNS! So she refunded the return fee which should not have happened. I also thought when I ordered on 12/28/18 that it was free shipping as stated online! I will not order from them again.

They claim to offer free shipping, but this really not true. I was charged for shipping, and when I contacted customer service they replied back to me with an email that said nothing. Literally, a blank email was sent as a response 13 days after I emailed them.

Worked good for couple weeks, got about 10-12 hours, then they would work off & on a couple hrs then sometimes half hr. I quit trying with the disgusting tv wireless ears in about 2 months. I emailed Sharper Image about this problem, of course no response. I did get things yrs ago from them, it was the very best quality to be had. Now I guess they go for the cheap made stuff. Guess I will have to chalk this up as learning experience. Since the other customers didn’t get anywhere. I will never buy from them again!

I purchased a telescope from this company. It absolutely will not focus. Their customer service demands that I send them a video showing that the scope won't focus. That's impossible to do. But without that, they won't talk to me. So, I've just lost my entire purchase price with these jerks. Don't do business with them.

I bought this drone from a local Walmart in Dodgeville, WI. Upon first use, the drone flew and was nonresponsive to the controller within several feet. The drone flew off and did not disengage or shut down even after exiting the 250ft proximity zone as stated on the box. We could not keep up with the drone as it flew uncontrollably over the highway and hills. The search radius could be a mile or more. I called the company and right off the bat, the company started denying responsibility. The company rep said management had gone home and the company conducted a study and found in most cases of fly-offs it was user error. There were enough fly-offs that the company had to do a study? How can this be user error if the drone is advertised to disengage beyond 250ft? I also tried to return or exchange the product at Walmart, but the store manager refused since the product was not physically present and Sharper Image would not honor it.

On Nov 8 2017, I ordered a customized bobblehead as a Christmas gift based on a photograph I submitted. My credit card was charged $90.94. Then the manufacturer (in China) contacted me & said that to get it by Christmas I would have to pay another $25.00 - so I did that on Nov. 29. By Jan 10, 2018 with no delivery, I contact the manufacturer & was told delivery will be in "a few days". On Jan 30, I finally got the item. I was not happy with it as it did not look at all like the photograph. I asked the manufacturer for a return & refund. They offered to try fixing the bobblehead. I was tired of the whole matter so I sent it back to them & asked them to change just the hair color & I would accept it. By Apr 29, I sent an email asking about status. No reply. On May 20, another email to them. No reply.

Product was shipped in broken styrofoam with rubberband, no box and no directions. Product is shipped from China and customer service will accepts returns, but you have to pay shipping to China (which cost more than the product). Product is made of cheap metal and looks very cheap. Save your money - not worth $5.00.

I bought a smartwatch from Sharper Image day and it stop working the second day after I got it. Stay away from this company, I contact them, they wanted me to send them a video of the problem. Never heard anything like that before. A one star is too big for them. They suck.

I ordered an item, through Facebook, from Sharper Image on a Friday. The item was $147. I selected the $29 shipping option. Without my consent, the shipping was changed to $200 and before I could check it, the order went through. I called immediately to try and stop it but the customer service "team" had gone home for the day. (Funny/not funny that you can order all weekend but can't speak to a CS agent.) I then emailed them on that same Friday to give them a heads up. I did everything possible but the item still shipped with the $200 shipping charge. I called first thing Monday and told the agent what happened and he said that he would contact FedEx. He didn't. Item expected to arrive on Thursday. I will most likely be at work and won't be able to refuse the order. Now I will have to PAY to have it returned. I will never order from this company again.

Ordered this item to block out my sounds when I sleep, this doesn't work at all, very disappointed. Was more disappointed in the return. It says all over the website free shipping and free returns. This was not the case, beware of what it says on the website, called customer service and they said they were doing me a favor by returning this item as supposedly it is not returnable but yet it did not say this anywhere on my order when placed and it said free returns and now I was charged to ship to me (was supposed to be free) and now getting charged to return (was supposed to be free). I will not order from this company again!

I ordered a product Feb3, was given 2/8 as delivery date, then 2/9, then 2/12. Now is the 17th & nothing!! I’ve emailed & talked to customer service & was told I’d receive it shortly & told I’d be receiving a gift cert through email but again nothing!! Of course the payment was collected, I am so angry about being moused around. I do not ever intend to purchase from this company again & I will dissuade as many as I can from doing so.

I originally purchased a Sharper Image speaker at Kohl's. Two months went by and darn thing stopped working. Contacted Sharper Image and replaced it for free. Well now using this replacement speaker that I have had less than 6 months. I had to call 4 different numbers for them to say, "Sorry we only give you 90 days to get another." Therefore I do not recommend this product. Was not cheap and the quality was not the greatest of sound. Lesson learned I'm going to research now the best Bluetooth speaker out there.

On January 2, 2018, I ordered a pair of TV wireless headphones model # 204919-01. On the box it specifically says works for all TV's. Upon receiving them on January 10, 2018, I went to install them on my Samsung Model # UN55MU6490F TV manufactured in October of 2017. After a few minutes of trying to hook them up, I realized that it was missing a critical piece. The A/V to fiber optic converter. So of course I looked through the box again to make sure I hadn't overlooked any parts or pieces. I re-read the instructions just to make sure I didn't miss something. I hadn't overlooked any missing pieces and again said right on the box "Works for all TV's". The following day, I called and spoke to a representative that said the AV to fiber optic converter should have been in the box and that they were sorry.

I ordered a Christmas gift from Sharperimage.com intending to ship overnight. I chose to pay with PayPal but once I confirmed the dollar amount in PayPal they returned me to Sharper Image where the order had already been submitted! I was never given the option to review my order or select overnight shipping. I searched their site for a way to change it or cancel the order but there was no such thing.

I first purchased the Autostop Tire Inflator as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. I received it, then decided to get him the Virtual Reality headset instead. I went online to initiate the return, as per the directions on the packing slip. I get an email, from Sharper Image, addressed to some other person in the text, and although there's a reference to use the attached FedEx label, none was provided. I emailed customer service, and that started a CHAIN of emails back and forth, with Sharper Image asking me insane questions (Would you like to return the item? Would you like a FedEx label? Do you want a refund, or store credit?) basically asking the same things over and over even though I keep answering over and over. I finally gave up, and decided to keep it and give it to my boyfriend anyway, or keep it for myself. So, I order the Virtual Reality headset: I open the box and it's some other item (TV Wireless Headset). WTF.

I created an account for this just to write a review in hopes others would pay heed. I ordered 2 items from Sharper Image. 1 item came, 1 did not. Ended up returning the item that did come only to get a partial refund to ship it back. The second item that did not come: after about 4 different times calling and trying to get a replacement, I decided I was cutting too close to Christmas so I called yet again to have them just send me a refund. I GOT A PARTIAL REFUND FOR AN ITEM THAT WAS NEVER SENT TO ME, AND IN FACT WAS SOLD OUT. I am so appalled and disgusted. I will never even glance at this company again and will be telling everyone I know about my experience.

I ordered an expensive gift for my boyfriend for Christmas. For someone reason, during the order, the wrong address was placed in the system and it was shipped to San Diego. I now live in Napa. I contacted Sharper Image with regard to this issue and they pretty much told me there is nothing they can do since the package was delivered and that they would re-order the gift for me and charge me again! I contacted FedEx who was more than helpful to attempt to track down the package but unable to do so. The package is not at the delivered address and nowhere to be found. Sharper Image has terrible customer service and was less than helpful during this very stressful time. I will never purchase anything from this company again and I will encourage everyone I know to do the same.

Attempted to use the $36 I earned from a previous order, and was denied applying that earned amount. The representative informed me that because the company had a promotion of free shipping with a $60 dollar order and 20% off, they couldn't honor the cashback I had earned. There was nothing stating this restriction provided in the email which was sent to me with the code for my $36 cashback certificate. I've decided I will not do any further business with this company and have unsubscribed from any of their future emails.

On Nov 16, 2017 I ordered the Wild West Shooter Set from Sharper Image. It was a birthday gift for my grandson. The listed toy did not say "back ordered" so I was confident that he'd receive it before his birthday even if took an extra 3 days to receive it. Here we continue to wait. Now the 28th and still no tracking so I just called Sharper Image and got the newest story from "Louella" that it is due in this week. They now promise expedited delivery but she admitted that the shipping is the usual 5-7 days after the shipment arrives! If you order a toy within a deadline, find another vendor and please don't spoil a child's Christmas waiting for something that they don't even have the courtesy to list as back ordered!

I purchased a Sharper Image DX2 Stunt Drone 2 days ago. On its second flight, I pressed the auto land button, and the drone just flew away on its own. I called the company and they didn't seem to care. In fact they didn't even bother asking for a model number (which will help them identify which warranty comes with the product) before declaring that my only option is to buy a new drone. I used to believe Sharper Image provided high quality innovative products. I am saddened to learn that they sell products of very poor quality and don't stand behind their products. I will not buy anything from Sharper Image again, and you shouldn't either.

Sharper image sells your information. Since making one purchase with them I've been inundated with catalogs and magazines for things that I have absolutely no interest in (...I'm not talking about Sharper Image's own publications, which by themselves are excessive). I've had to make countless phone calls to businesses asking to be removed from their mailing list, and when I ask where they got my information from, they've told me that it was from my Sharper Image purchase. I find this completely unethical, to exploit paying customers who trust you with their information. I will not be buying from them again.

All consumers, be forewarned. This company is a FRAUD. Save yourself the frustration, don't ever order from Sharper Image. Twice they charged my card for an order that was "shipped." When I checked the FedEx tracking number three days later, there was no information available. FedEx doesn't even have the tracking number. They will put fake FedEx tracking number so they can charge your credit card and you wait for nothing. Then they will give you a gift card that you can use only on their site, of course, and the cycle continues. Your card is charged again because the item has 'shipped,' then another fraudulent tracking number. You call again. And it's the same bs. That's my experience with Sharper Image. This company should go out of business.

I was told to put the gel pack in boiling water for 10 minutes after use to get it soft again. I have done this twice with my gel pack and it gets soft and once it cools off it gets hard again and cannot be used. It worked like a charm but once I wanted to use it again and put it in boiling water, it got soft again and I let it cool off and it got hard again and was not able to activate to make it hot. Not sure if there is anything I can do but wanted to warn others of this. This was not a cheap item and as of now it is of little or no use to me. Got it at Sam's Club during a special kiosk. Do not have an order number or a receipt. Probably screwed, but still upset that I spent all this money and now I have nothing.

I get an in-store credit for their mistake in sending me a package purchased for my son. I have to take the package to FedEx since they can drop off but not pick up. I don't want an in-store credit. I will not be buying from them again.

Purchased two items as Christmas gifts. When received, both were not the quality I expected. Tried to return and WHAT A HASSLE! First, I paid for my OWN return postage through the USPS. Second, once they got my return, they only credited me for one item even though I had returned two (in the same box). 2 calls to CS later and they FINALLY got it straight. Once I got my $$ returned, they shorted me $8.00 for "postage"... even though I had paid my OWN postage to return. Will NEVER buy at Sharper Image ever again and will share my experience with as many people as I can. Buyer beware!!

I have purchased the wireless tv headphones and the sound, when it works is of an old AM station static quality. The bluetooth wireless earbuds only connect one side. Anyways all products purchased from this brand did not work or worked poorly. Not a worth product to buy or gift.

Sharper Image offers cash back to be used on a future order. Cash back insinuates that it can be applied as a form of payment on your next order. Upon receipt of your cash back email, it describes that this is a form of payment and to use it in the gift certificate field. However, once you do that, if you use a promo code such as free shipping, an error is provided that you can only use one promo discount per order. This is very misleading as everyone who's ever received cash back believes it is a form of payment to be applied and discounts can be applied too, like any other order (payment minus discounts). This is really false advertising in my opinion and I'm very surprised there's not been anything done about it. It lures you into purchasing now to get cash back on a future order, but it isn't cash back.

SHARPER IMAGE does not stand behind their products. I called customer service about a problem with one of their products. They tell me that they don't have any information on that particular problem and that there is nothing that she can do for me. So guess what? Here's my wonderful review of what I think about SHARPER IMAGE. GO SCREW YOURSELF WITH THESE GARBAGE ASS PRODUCTS. Needless to say I still have my receipt and it will be going back to the store TODAY. PS. Very cheaply made products.

Ordered a hoverboard 2 weeks before Christmas. They guaranteed delivery before Christmas. I called 3 times a week before and they assure the items will come. 4 days before I got the tracking info with the delivery date 12/28. After 1 hour wait, somebody answer at the customer service and of course I got the "accept our apologies". I got the board on the 29th and it should have come with a card for $60 cash back which was advertised. Instead I got a code for a credit in their store that expires in 1 month (other false advertising). Altogether a horrible experience. Shame for a brand name.

I purchased an item on 12/20 for 2 day delivery. Never received a confirmation of shipment. I called and was on hold for two hours on 12/21. Sent a email requesting item to cancelled if it wasn't shipped. Still nothing. Emailed again on 12/22 and 12/23. At 6pm on 12/23 received a email stating my order would be shipped and received by 12/30. Customer service line was closed so emailed again that order needs to be cancelled. (It was present). Then on 12/26 received shipping notice.
