GodfoundshooedI am a supporter of Animal rescue and saw this as an opportunity to support this effort as well as purchase a few Christmas gifts. I received one of the four items I ordered and the bill of lading had paper stickers attached for each of the missing items stating that the other items were OUT OF STOCK. Another sticker stated; We've issued a refund for each sold out item (and shipping where applicable).
Three guess as to what happened next (and the first 2 don't count). NO REFUND. After several emails going back and forth from a CSR named Bashie English - who told me there was a misunderstanding and that all items had been shipped so no refund would be issued! Today I sent another email to 'BASHIE' threatening legal action if I did not see a refund in my account by the end of the day. But then I found a phone number at the end of her email and made a call to hopefully get someone who would handle this immediately. I spoke to Sherick, who may have saved me from taking further steps, by apologizing for the out of stock situation and then for his co-worker who apparently had not bothered to do any checking on this order. My refund will be processed today. Sherick is the only positive thing I can say about this experience. I WILL NEVER support any charity through the Greater Good Network again and I warn others to avoid this as well.
By the way - no refund on TAX OR SHIPPING!
I have ordered from Greater Goods many times before and have been satisfied with the service & products.
I unfortunately, can not say that now. Recently, I ordered flip flops and a shirt to match. After I ordered this and it was in stock, got a letter that the flip flops were no longer in stock. I had looked at the site a few days after I ordered this and it was still in stock, so don't understand how this happened. I have not received the shirt yet, and was told that I have to wait until next week, Tuesday to cancel order if not received by then. It is very frustrating since I got them to match and have to wait 2 weeks (business days) after the shipping date to know what is happening with shirt. This was frustrating but my recent experience was extremely upsetting!
I ordered a box of masks, a welcome sign, and a poop bag set for my dog. Today, I received a box at my door.
The box was obviously tampered with, as the tape looked like it was re taped. When I opened the cardboard box, I took out the packing slip. The left hand corner of the slip was completely torn off, where information was supposed to be. Inside the cardboard box was a torn box that the masks were supposed to be in and the masks were loose. I looked at the torn box and to my dismay, there was an expiration date on, what should have been the bottom of the box, The expiration date was April 10,2020. Today's date is June 11,2020 so the box of masks that were sent were expired!
The other 2 items were not there. Only the ripped box with the expired date and the loose masks. I called and spoke to the manager and told him the situation. He agreed to give me a refund, I received a refund letter and hopefully will get a refund on my credit. I understand that it is not the companies fault that the box was tampered with and items were missing, but it is the responsibility of the company that sent the masks to have seen that they were expired! Most people, would never think to look at an expiration date so I hope this has not happened to anyone else.
As I said at the beginning, I did have positive experiences with ordering from this company, but this experience has me so upset and unsure of continuing to place orders any more. I was upset about the flip flops and shirt, but sending something that is obviously EXPIRED and having a packing slip ripped and items missing needs to be corrected!
Thank you very much for your honest comments regarding your recent experience with GreaterGood. I would first like to address the first issue you experienced with the out of stock Flip Flops. I apologize for any inconvenience that this out of stock product may have caused. As with most companies, we will have products that run out stock periodically and since we only purchase seasonal shoes once per year, once they are gone for the season, they don't get restocked. The reason availability may vary from time to time is if a pair of shoes get returned for some reason. I am assuming that this is what occurred when you checked back and found there was availability of the shoe again. GreaterGood does not have a backorder system, so we would not have any visibility to send the shoes to you when some were received back into inventory. Again, I apologize for any inconvenience this caused.
The second issue noted regarding the package arriving that appeared to have been tampered with, I again, apologize that this was your experience. We have found a few other instances where customers experienced the masks to have issues with the ear loops breaking. Since we obtain our product from multiple manufacturers we are identifying which manufacturer had the issues with mask quality and addressing that issue on our end. We take great pride in offering products of value to our customers and when we receive feedback from customers related to a trend we do take measures to correct that issue.
I think you for sharing your thoughts with us and we will work tirelessly to correct the quality issues that you and some others have raised. I trust that you will see your credit that the customer service Manager provided to you for the last order soon. It can take 2-4 business days for your financial institution to apply that credit.
Thank you
Jodi
Director, Customer Service
Answer: Depending on how you donate will depend where the money goes. At GreaterGood we have several ways to donate to our causes. If you purchase items from our various websites such as the Animal Rescue site portions of those funds from your purchase go to help shelter animals in general. The amount averages to be about $. 50 per dollar goes to help shelters. If you elect to donate to a specific cause such as our flights to freedom or specific 'Gifts that Give More' option, 100% of that money donated goes to the actual cause you selected. The donations that you give for any of our Gifts that Give More causes is also tax deductible. You can also obtain further donation information from our non-profit partner's website at www.greatergood.org.

Answer: Carole, once your order is placed, you should receive an order confirmation email to the email address you entered at the time of the order. Once the package is picked and packaged and a tracking number assigned (which should have occurred already if it has been a week), a shipping confirmation email is sent to you with the tracking number. Once the package ships, we ask that you allow 7-10 business days for delivery. If you feel that you have not received the communication that you think you should have on this order, please contact our customer service department at either customerservice@greatergood.com or by calling 877-355-4321
Answer: Joyce Thank you for your question. However, I think you may be thinking of another organization. We at GreaterGood do not sell mobility scooters. Some consumers confuse our organization with another similar organization called Greater Goods (with an s). You might want to try them.
Answer: We are true to each of our cause areas and have employees and customers across the political spectrum. Our customers can choose which sites to click and shop on based on their preferences, and we work hard to provide each of them good products and services. Because our cause areas are different, we don't sell leather or horn on The Animal Rescue Site but do sell items made from these materials on The Breast Cancer Site or the Veterans Site; since we believe we have a duty to each of our charity partners and cause areas to raise funds and be impactful, in whatever ways can help most. For instance, we work hard to source and sell fair trade goods which provide rural women artisans a way to pay for their children's education in addition to providing meals and opportunity to refugees from war and disaster both in the USA and elsewhere on The Hunger Site. Greg and I met at the University of Michigan in the mid-70s on the "Bottle Bill" campaign and believe there is much more agreement across the political spectrum on issues than is commonly acknowledged. The returnable bottle law in Michigan is the strongest in the nation, and it was passed by voters across the political spectrum who are all interested in reducing waste and energy usage. That campaign was primarily funded by the Michigan United Conservation Clubs (www.mucc.org) who are hunters; with lots of volunteers from environmental groups and young people who were primarily not hunters. Both Greg and I believe there needs to be more economic justice; which was one of the reasons we created this on-line business over 20 years ago, because it empowers our customers and staff to be able to do good in the world every day. We are proud that we have raised over $60 million dollars for charity since 1999, but we have a long way to go.

Answer: Bryan Yes we do have a phone number for our customer service center but we are not a shelter. We are an online retailer that sells products and proceeds from those sales go to support animal shelters. Our phone number is (888) 355-4321. However, if you are looking to foster pets, I would recommend calling a local shelter or animal humane society in your area. Thank you Jodi Director, Customer Service GreaterGood
