I rented 2 movies on July 12th, and returned both movies to the exact same location on July 15th. Today, the 30th, I received a "final bill" stating that I was charged $29.75 for each movie totaling $63.67 with tax. Not only is this absurd because I can buy each of them for only $4, but when I called and spoke to customer service, including a supervisor (Catherine), they offered absolutely no help. Not only did they refuse to credit my card back, but they provided absolutely no compensation or further assistance whatsoever. Not only were the DVDs returned, but I was not alone and had another witness to attest to the fact that they were returned 3 days later. Even the customer service representative said that "technology can malfunction and we know that the kiosks mess up sometimes," but then told me that there was nothing they could do. She even said that they have technicians who go out every Tuesday to check the machines, so I asked if they could check that specific machine and find the 2 DVDs that were returned and then credit my account back. Her response was that she is not able to speak to the technicians and they haven't reported it as found. I have had some interactions with pretty horrible customer service before, but this has to be in my top 5 worst experiences. Redbox offered absolutely no resolution whatsoever, and essentially said tough sh*t, deal with it. If I ran my company like this, I would be left without a single customer. Now I am forced to go through the hassle of disputing these charges as fraud with my bank in order to get my money back. Redbox will never again receive my business.

TigerDirect is by far one of the worst companies I have ever had to deal with. On May 25, I placed an order for 10 HP ProBooks. As of today, June 16, I have not only failed to receive my products, but I have been lied to by multiple TigerDirect representatives. After continuously expressing the urgency needed to get my order shipped, I was put in contact with multiple so-called “supervisors.” Several of them lied to me and said that my order would be shipped out that day or the next, and that I would receive an email with tracking information. I have yet to receive any shipping details, and the only confirmation I have received from TigerDirect is that my order has not been shipped and there are no updates. One of the “supervisors” informed me that the customer service department has no way of calling the warehouse, but instead only communicates via email. How can a company stay in business when it is operating this way? I placed my order nearly a month ago, and yet it has still not even shipped. The complete lack of honesty and respect I have experienced has left me with an extremely bitter taste in my mouth. The failure of service provided by TigerDirect is absolutely unacceptable, and I will never again give the company a fraction of my business.
