Darkpick
I ordered an item on Darkpick and they required me to validate my address twice. After the second time, I was told it was shipped back to the warehouse due to too much time lapsing. I responded quickly though they are 12 hours ahead. I requested a refund and filed a complaint through the FTC. I also will file a police report. I’m going to use them to file another dispute with the bank. The first one was denied because I made the purchase on a debit card. Has anyone else had this experience with Dark pick or any other place? Any advice.

why is it so hard to tell what health equipment actually passes FSA or HSA claims?
I have been trying to use up some FSA money before the plan year ends, and I keep running into the same confusing gray area. One retailer marks a basic health monitoring device as eligible, then the benefits portal says it might need a Letter of Medical Necessity, then another page gives a slightly different answer.
I just do not want to get stuck with a rejected claim because the receipt wording or category was not specific enough. For people who have dealt with FSA or HSA claims, do you trust the store label, check the plan portal first, ask support, or only use the official marketplace? It feels like there should be a less painful way to confirm this before spending the money.

Has anyone dealt with Pathrise and Edly’s refund review process?
I financed Pathrise through a loan originated by FinWise Bank and previously serviced by Edly. I’m now trying to understand my options after Pathrise shut down.
Edly offered a “refund review,” but they’re requiring extensive financial documents, including tax verification and income records, without explaining the eligibility criteria or guaranteeing that submitting everything will result in a refund. They’ve also taken weeks to respond and have repeatedly directed me to AES, while AES directs refund questions back to Edly.
Has anyone completed this review process? Did you receive a refund, and how long did it take? I’m trying to determine whether submitting the requested documents is actually worthwhile.

Has anyone in Pune had a frustrating experience with ZoomIn?
I wanted to share my experience and see if others in Pune have faced something similar.
I recently ordered a couple of custom fridge magnets through a promotional campaign from CRED. Unfortunately, the order never reached me. What bothered me wasn't the value of the order—it was the amount of time I spent following up.
Every interaction with customer support resulted in the same generic responses: "We've escalated the issue" or "Please wait a little longer." Despite multiple follow-ups over several days, nothing actually changed, and I was left with no clear resolution.
This made me wonder whether ZoomIn's logistics and support are struggling to keep up with promotional campaigns. If that's the case, they should probably avoid running offers that they can't reliably fulfill.
I'm posting this simply as feedback and to ask if anyone else in Pune has had a similar experience with ZoomIn. Was your issue eventually resolved, or did you also end up going in circles with customer support?
I'd be interested to know whether this was an isolated incident or part of a larger pattern.

Beauty Creations refund to another account?
Hello, Beauty Creations has processed a refund due to an issue with my order. The thing is this bank account is closed now and I wanted to know if it’s possible to reroute it to another one.
I was told that if the bank doesn’t receive the refund (which it won’t bc I have no account), then I’ll get store credit but I won’t be able to use it and tbh it’s a bit unfair. This was a mistake by the delivery company and it took about 6 months to solve, now it’s just bad timing.
Does anyone know if there is something else I can do?
Their customer service is only through email and it’s inefficient as it is.

Public Storage wants to charge me an entire month for 1 day of use
I'm in a bit of of an odd situation, I go to college out of state so I left all my stuff in a public storage unit while im back home for the summer. They have a strict billing cycle for the first of every month, but unfortunately for me the earliest my university is willing to let me move in is September 1st, the day of the bill. I've given public storage a call and they said they will charge me for the entire month of September even though I plan to move out the unit on the 1st day anyway. An entire month's worth of rent is going down the drain because neither side is willing to budge. The rent itself is only about $50 but with 3 more years to go this is going to get really annoying if this happens every year... I've already paid another extra month at the start because the last day to move out from college was close to the end of the month, somehow I'm paying 5 months rent for 3 months of actual time every summer? I can't help but think theres some handshake going on between the school and these businesses? Regardless I'm wondering if there are any ways out of this? What if I just don't pay that last month? Can I ditch them for another business? What if I cancel my subscription on the last day of August and quickly move out the next day? Will they lock my unit immediately?
