Billing/Sales Supervision/Management

On April 16--I purchased a key-chain authenticator through the Blizzard Store.

A month later, I still hadn't received it--so, I contacted Billing/Sales.

In an email I received, they informed me to check if my credit card number was correct. It was--due to the fact I had been charged $6.50.

They then informed me they had no record of my order.

After a few email sent and received, Blizzard Store claimed they sent me a replacement one...perhaps the original was lost in the mail. YAY!

A couple of weeks later--I had not received the replacement.

A few days ago, I received an email which stated the refund I requested was approved.

What? I never requested a refund. I contacted them, and they say maybe there's a problem with my address. I have lived at my currect residence for over 3 years, and receive packages from Amazon, Ebay, etc. I have a mailbox at the curb, and one attached to the siding of my house near my front door.

Anyway...they basically said to re-order one--and wait another 15 business days (or more) to possibly have it show up.

I'm at a complete loss as to what to do. I simply want the authenticator I purchased. Nothing more, nothing less. But, here's the catch.

Blizzard Store says they have no way of allowing me to purchase an alternate method of delivery, or tracking of any kind.

The post office cannot track the package--because there is not tracking provided by the company.

I'm willing to pay extra if somebody will just help me out--and assist me in ensuring I receive the product.

Instead, I am sent emails which put the blame solely on me.

First, my credit card was charged--yet, they say there's "problems" with it.
Secondly, Blizzard Store had no record of my order--when I had two electronic receipts with an order number.
Thirdly, they claim I am providing them a wrong address--which is not the case, as it is correct on the receipts.
Also, they claim I requested a refund--and nowhere in my emails have I said I wanted one...I solely want the authenticator.

It's crazy. I have the Blizzard Store not able to help me out with any other type of shipping method--and I can't do squat with the help of the post office if there's not a way for customers to purchase tracking.

I don't want to make another purchase, and wait another month for something I should have already.

In 2008, I ordered an authenticator, and had it shipped to this address just fine.

Anyway...I'm requesting some assistance...a phone number, an email....anything. I simply want to bring my concern to a higher level of support/experience within the Blizzard Store.

Do you guys/girls have anything in file you are able to refer me to?

I'm sad. :( It's a great game!! I just want to play it in safety!

(OHHH!! I cannot get it via my cell phone.) So, that's not an option for me. And, I don't have hundreds to purchase another phone.

So....sorry for this lengthy qq post--but, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. How can I purchase an authenticator...and make sure it gets to my house? I want to purchase tracking, I want to purchase insurance, I want to purchase another delivery method...there has to be some way of me doing this.

Privatized payment through paypal? I'll go there. Just help me, please?

Thank you.

Hey there, Post.

I sincerely apologize for all the trouble you've experienced. Our Billing Department is not yet in for the day, but if you'll give me just a little while I'll check into this for you and see what I can find out. In the meantime, can you please go to http://us.battle.net, log in, click the Contact & Shipping Address link and make sure that your address and phone number are up to date?

I appreciate your patience, and hope we can help get you a new Authenticator as soon as possible.

It looks as if what has happened is we sent the Authenticator to your address, but the carrier was unable to deliver it for reasons unbeknown to us. Because the package was undeliverable, it was returned to the shipping department and the order was refunded since we did not want to charge you for something you never received. Unfortunately, there is not much our Billing department is able to do to address this issue as the mail was sent directly to the address listed but returned by the postal carrier.

I know that you've already checked to make sure your address is correct once, but you may want to check once more just to be absolutely certain that everything is correct. Also, you may want to talk to your local USPS office or mailman to ask them why your package was marked undeliverable and returned so that you can prevent this from occurring again. After you're certain there are no issues there, I suggest placing the order one more time so that we can attempt to resend the Authenticator your way.

I'm terribly sorry for the confusion, Kraye. We want to see you protected with the Authenticator as soon as possible, too!
