I purchased a precious collection of 3 Christmas books that are now a part of our family's Christmas tradition!

I purchased a precious collection of Christmas stories that were original, as well in keeping my family values. I encountered a small glitch regarding my order, and it was resolved easily and expeditiously.
Parents, relatives, and friends of children will find a beautiful selection of children's story books that send positive messages, combined with the finest of illustrations!
Both the product and the customer service are A Plus in my book!

I purchased a 3 book set but then was billed for 3 more books I didn't purchase, They arrived and then I now am charged another $ 103.79 for nothing I am aware of unless it's a year subscription I don't need or want! Please resolve this matter of unsolicited subscription and refund my $103.79 immediately! I tried to call the phone number listed but they aren't set up to respond to calls. My name is Donna Kiger

Donna,

Thank you for reaching out and for your feedback. After taking a look into your order, I see that two book bundles were included. The first bundle is the one that you originally chose to order. The second would have been offered to you as a discounted item prior to the checkout screen. It won’t be added to an order unless a customer clicks the button saying “YES, add it to my order!”.

We understand that mistakes can happen and we have 30 day refund policy to help resolve issues such as this. You can send your items to the address below within 30 days from the date of delivery. Please include your name, email, and phone number with your return. Once the items are in-transit back to us, you simply need to contact us with tracking number and we’ll proceed with a full refund.

In regard to the subscription, we've done our best to ensure that the information concerning the free trial of our digital content is presented to customers multiple times throughout the shopping/purchasing process. In addition, after the order was placed, you would have received an email with instructions for accessing the content as well as how to cancel the trial if you weren’t interested. 

I certainly don't want you to pay for something that you didn't want and won't use. I have refunded all charges associated with the subscription and confirmed that it is cancelled as well. You should see the refund within 3-5 business days. If you have any other questions, please reach out to us through our help center at www.puppydogsandicecream.com or calling 888-801-0002 M-F, 9am-5pm PDT.

TERRIBLE COMPANY AND SNEAKS ADDITIONAL…

TERRIBLE COMPANY AND SNEAKS ADDITIONAL BOOKS INTO MY ORDER THAT I DID NOT APPROVE OF. THEY WILL LATER CHARGE FOR YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION THAT I DID NOT EVEN KNOW I WAS BEING SIGNED UP FOR. DO THEY MAKE DECENT BOOKS? SURE. HOWEVER, I WILL NEVER MAKE ANOTHER PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY EVER AGAIN.

First of all I love the idea of this company. Books that encourage and strengthen souls and tell of The Love of God. So far my Grands really enjoy the books and I have them in my home so that they will pick one up to refeed themselves yet again with a message of love and kindness and in Christ.

Excellent customer service

I had ordered 2 sets of books but somehow I ended up with a year long subscription which I did not want. I emailed customer service and was immediately told I would be refunded the amount that was removed from my bank account. Good customer service and cute books.

Prevention

I ordered the set on feeling anxious, sad and angry for our great grandson. Anxiety runs in our family and can be hard on loved ones. He is only 7 months old, but his parents are already reading to him. I am so pleased with the books and customer service that I will be ordering more books.

You all understood my mistake in placing an additional order that I did not even know that I had made. You helped me to get it all straightened out. I was a little frustrated because I could not just call you all on the phone. I am a senior citizen and not up on all of this technology. I do want to thank you for you help, your understanding, and your professionalism in handling this for me. Thanks for your Great Customer Service 🐶🍦♥️♥️♥️

I am a single mom working on settling the emotions of 4 kids between ages of 5-13 from a unpleasant divorce. I'm excited to use these books with my kids but had overlooked the subscription trial and need to cancel. I reached out and requested a cancellation so i don't continue to get charged as I am on a tight budge and wasn't expecting that money to be taken out. Customer Service prompty unsubscribed me and cancelled. This means a ton. Especially at this current phase in my life. I will refer friends and family to these books and you will get a good rep down the road. I appreciate you to the fullest.

I ordered several books for my children which were reasonably priced and delivered timely. We have loved them! I had a small mishap which was an oversight on my behalf but Puppy Dogs worked with me in a timely manner and helped remedy my mistake. Their customer service is as wonderful as their book selection. Highly recommend!
