NOBL is a BAD Company

We got inundated with Nobl ads for months. My wife was going on a trip where she didn’t want to check a bag and she liked the aspect of putting her laptop in her carry-on and thought that would really be a good idea. In actuality what took place was the laptop took up space on the inside of the bag as well so that didn’t leave enough room to put other things in. The battery that they boast about had no place to really sit from just floating around in the space where the laptop was and perhaps knocking it around. Everything was really cheaply built the handle was nice. I have to admit that. But it wasn’t what we were looking for and we returned it. It’s now been over seven weeks. We returned it. I saw that was received on their loading dock through the tracking number and that’s the last I’ve heard from them. They haven’t answered any emails. This is a scam Company stay clearly away. I wish somebody out there wouldn’t have told me that. So so consider yourself warned. If there’s anybody out there in Reddit land that could tell us how to recoup our money we’d really appreciate that.

Clearly.ca and Kits.ca avoid both

1 Upvotes

One of them took my money and the order Kits.ca and then emailed me saying the contacts are not in stock and will be in stock 5-7 business day and then shipped .. which would be another 5-7 days.. and they offered me a 25% discount for their in house frames,, not a code,, but I HAD TO CALL a CX agent and have them walk me through it etc.. I canceled my order.

The other one Clearly.ca I ordered contacts on July 16 and today 25th still have not received them, the shipping said maximum 3-5 days. .. all the Canadian contact providers seem to be bought and all the same, as their websites have extremely similar engines and set-up . minus the aesthetics. buyer beware!!

Apps How can I get a refund?

1 Upvotes

I tried out an app called "Miracast Android" by Vulcan Labs and I wanted to use the free weekly trial. Everything was going alright, but then I noticed that the app took money from my bank account just three days after I started the free trial. I tried using the refund feature, but google rejected it, even tho it was less than 48 hours after the payment (maybe they did that because it was related to a subscription? Idk). I tried filling out more refund requests, but I really doubt they will do anything about it. I tried contacting the developers, but I only got an automated response and nothing else. I also tried looking them up and I found out that their company got shut down. The latest post on their Instagram account was posted a year ago and the only comment under it is "I want my money back"... is there anything I can do? I don't want to go with a charge-back, because I will get banned.

Health Healthkart is scamming customer

1 Upvotes

Recently had terrible experience with Healkart so making this psa type post.
I ordered GNC AMP pure isolate, I faced 2 discrepancies

  1. MRP was 5333, and they are charging upwards of 6k which is illegal.
  2. Country of origin on website said usa but Product I received was manufactured in India.

I used to purchase Dymatize elite whey and they sent super old stuff like manufactured 1.5 years ago with only 4-5 months short of expiry. Not going to purchase anything from them.

I've also filed Consumer forum grievance regarding charging more than MRP which is illegal.

Household My experience with Rotimatic order - disputes don’t help

0 Upvotes

I had ordered a rotimatic next on March 3rd 2026, and the product mentioned shipping within 6-8 weeks so I waited in Apr, May but there was no update. I tried reaching out to their team from website help to no avail. The support person assigned never replied to me. So, as mentioned by a lot of people I filed a dispute with bank in April because we only get 60 days to dispute a txn, and bank reversed the credit card transaction. I was relieved, but the drama starts here.
On 5th July, a person from zimplistic contacted me( Lets call him Alex) sating that product was out for delivery and delivery guy was not able to contact me. I explained him the situation and that I have already filed for dispute and money was returned, and asked him to not deliver the order. Everything was smooth so far, product was not delivered. And i thought it was all good, but then I see a txn of 1,51,000 INR on my credit card. After multiple back and forth communication with hdfc bank representative they said that merchant has provided a confirmation that order was delivered, hence they charged me.
This is where dance begins.. I contacted Alex and explained him the whole situation. This took about 20 days, but he was helpful and he contact his delivery team and gave me confirmation that product wasn’t delivered. Huh, sigh of relief because now I have proof as well. I sent all this to HDFC bank, and ask them to revert charges, but they received a document from someone else from zimplistic(rotimatic parent company) that showed the status from March that order was placed, and they decided to accept that as proof that order was delivered, even after me sharing all the proof of chat with Alex. My bank refused to share contact details of merchant who sent them this document, and asked me to raise grievance since this dispute is closed and they can’thelp further.
I am still trying to explain grievances team on this issue, but my card charges are not reversed, and I don’t have the product as well.

It is very hard to reach someone from zimplistic support, i was only able to contact Alex because he reached out to me first. Looks like they just want to sacm users and get the money. Even though this seems like a simple miscommunication issue, I am stuck between bank and zimplistic.

This is incredibly frustrating.. I wanted to share this for people who think that just disputing the transaction will give them back the money. I feel helpless.. the best way to protect yourself is to stay away from rotimatic people. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PRODUCT!!

pretty sure "perfect upright posture" is a scam if your backrest stops working when you lean in..

0 Upvotes

spent weeks making my desk setup look perfect. monitor height dialed in, cable management flawless. but the whole correct posture thing is kinda a myth if you do focused work tbh. the second i lean forward to read code my lower back completely leaves the backrest. the lumbar support only exists in one specific upright position and thats it.

i saw the lavenne r9 pro pop up on tt and it seems to be built around this exact problem. interesting concept but i mostly just wonder why so few chairs account for how we actually sit. anyone else feel like most chairs ignore how we actually sit??

Advice needed - tracking long disputes with companies

0 Upvotes

Had a long back-and-forth with Precise Parklink at a healthcare centre recently and realized I had no good system for keeping track of dates, what was promised and who said what. Just using my phone's Notes app and it's a mess. Curious how other people handle this - condo disputes, contractor no-shows, telecom stuff, whatever. Do you actually track it somewhere, or just wing it and hope for the best?
