Deceptive Advertising
Although I have had Tupperware all my life, I have not had a chance to purchase any products until recently. I am so disappointed and frustrated with my experience with their Customer Service. Invited to an online party, the online catalog showed the Wild Mulberry round container with a sale price of $19 vs the usual $27. I immediately hit “add to cart” and then ordered 3 other items for approx. $70 total. When I received my confirmation of order I noticed it was showing $27 vs the sale price of $19. I sent my host an email immediately with a picture of my confirmation and also a screen shot of the page advertising the sale price with the container. My host contacted her consultant who gave her the Tupperware email for me to contact. Again, I immediately contacted the company by email and received an AI response that orders cannot be changed or cancelled after they are in process. I responded with the picture of the Wild Mulberry container with the $19 sale price. They told me that the $19 sale only applied to the other two colors but not the pictured item with the advertisement for $19.
After several more emails with AI and a representative… there was no resolution but for me to go through the return policy to get a refund and reorder one of the other colors on sale. And of course pay the shipping on the return and the shipping for another item!! By that time (3 days of trying to resolve) I didn’t even want the items I ordered. It wasn’t the $8 I wanted to save as much as Tupperware was deceptive in their advertising. Using a more expensive item as the sale item when it wasn’t!! I decided I would return all my items because I would enjoy them after such an experience and knowing they were trying to deceive people. All I have to do now is decide if I leave everything in the box and refuse the shipment or repack it to ship back. Either way I will have to pay the shipping back. I’m afraid if I just refuse the UPS delivery Tupperware will try to charge me extra shipping on the return because they cannot be trusted. It is also crazy that after you ship items back… you have to contact them AGAIN to see if the package arrived to get your refund!!! Why can’t they just refund your money when they receive the shipment??? I purchase lot online and nobody makes it as difficult as Tupperware to return items and get a refund. I’m exhausted just thinking about all of this and definitely would not enjoy using any products I had bought… so even though it is costing me plenty of time and money… my whole order is being returned! I won’t make this mistake again. Sad such a once trusted product is taking such a nose dive but I am tired of deceptive advertising!
Good bye Tupperware
Update: decided not to wait for any additional surprises and took the box to UPS unopened and paid there for the return… almost $23 but now I can forget I lost $$ and move on without those items being in my house! Wish Tupperware would be more concerned about their customers than some ill-written guidelines. Recognizing their advertising error, they should have just given me the color shown in the ad and moved on. Hopefully I will get my full refund on the items. Followed return policy to the letter!
