On sep 17th i placed an order on ridegear.com for several motorcycle parts and supplies.
On the 18th I received an email that my order will not be shipped, due to most items not being in stock. Nevertheless, my card was charged anyways. I contacted Ridegear by phone and requested the rest of the order be canceled, and my funds be returned. Days later I called again since the funds have not yet showed up in my account. The agent said that he will personally see that it is processed immediately.
On Oct 17th I contacted Ridegear on live chat. I had not received my refund and requested that the funds be returned immediately in a manner I can confirm it actually has been processed. I suggested PayPal or a tracking number for a mailed check. The agent who identified himself only as "costumer solutions 1", apologized, and Informed me that he will personally process the refund. At this point I requested he provide me with some sort of proof that I can actually verify that indeed he did process the refund this time. The agent provided me with a transaction number (623847), whatever that means. When I called my bank, they confirmed that they see the charge, but there is no pending transaction or refund for that amount or from that organization. As I told the agent what the bank just told me, he immediately terminated the chat session.
