I ordered an item from them through the Walmart website- i ordered a xsmall the sticker on the package says xsmall and the item inside is a medium- i have been fighting with them- the item was $34.00 they offered me $5.00 back and keep the item i said no- they said then i can pay to return and a 20% restocking fee i said no i want all my money back- this was your mistake- all they keep saying is the same thing- THEY ARE TERRIBLE HORRIBLE DISGUSTING DON"Y EVER ORDER ANYTHING FROM THEM!
I bought a piece of furniture from this company by accident. I tried to cancel it immediately. VirVentures completely ignored my cancellation request and shipped the item several days later. My advice is do not buy from VirVentures. They do not care about their customers in any way.
I ordered an item through Walmart.com who placed the order with VirVentures. I immediately canceled the order both through Walmart and VirVentures. After confirming the order was canceled, the next day Virventures decided to ship the item anyway. The item was never delivered to me by UPS, but Virventures insisted on charging my credit card for the return shipping and a 20% restocking fee. In my opinion, this is FRAUD and they should be charged with a crime for their behavior. I am also surprised at Walmart for doing business with such a horrible company.
Ordered a Christmas present on 12/13 which has not yet arrived. I have tried contacting them several times. One number no longer in service, one number the mailbox is full and not accepting messages. No responses to emails. Live chat said just to call. This company is a disgrace; I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau.
Order placed 12/13 for a Christmas present. Was given an invalid tracking number. Tried to call and they never answer phones. Thru the order site they furnished three different tracking numbers - al invalid. They never did ship the product.
Terrible - stay away!
I placed an order through Sears. Via Ventures was the subcontracted vendor. UPS delivered and empty box, I then contacted Sears and Vir Ventures, they called my order "damaged" and refused to send the product that I ordered. A total scam, do not purchase from this fraudulent company.
This is possibly THE WORST company around. Its a third party vendor for Walmart.com. You CANNOT return these products ordered to a Walmart store. AND they charge you a restocking fee (20%) They never intended on refunding any kind of money for a return of a product ordered that I literally removed from the shipping package and returned to same package and returned to VirVentures. What a joke. I contacted them for return authorization. Took 3 days for a reply (but funny they charged me the second I hit purchase item). Finally received email with RMA #. (which would expire in 7 days - good thing I wasn't on vacation). The customer service rep who I was conversing with almost DAILY (on my end) started out as a very nice guy. Not so much anymore though. Very arrogant to deal with. Originally when I inquired after the package was sent back about status of refund I was told that they received the package return and its in the final inspection stage and then goes to the refund stage. 3 plus weeks later I inquired yet again about refund status and was told I need a tracking number to locate the package that was returned! Excuse me? You have told me in several emails prior to this one that my package was received and in the inspection stage. They have NO intention on refunding money. Look elsewhere for the particular product you are looking for. BY ALL COSTS... AVOID THIS VENDOR! Next email... BBB and Walmart. Not for nothing, most of the poor reviews come from USA customers and the positive reviews come for overseas. JUST SAYING!
I ordered two kids bikes, not cheap bikes so was I surprised to see plastic instead of normal rubber tires when I opened the package. I looked back at the product description thinking I missed something and there is nothing there to indicate the tires arent real. The price I would have to pay to ship this JUNK back is more than they are worth.
Poorly packaged, arrived in pieces (see photo) Seller, VirVentures, says too bad, so sad... We were hit by Hurricane Irma, with no power, and much going on to immediately (w/in 5 days) report the damaged orbs. We also purchased a coffee table and two end tables from this company at the same time the orbs were purchased, mind you. This is customer appreciation at its finest.:(
This is the reply from the company:

Two of the Orbs arrived broken. I would like to return the order, please and receive a refund. I will send photo if required.
I purchased an item via Walmart.com but they use Virventures as vendor for the item. 3 days after I had ordered the item it was still reading processing in cart status. I contacted the company and the answer was "we will forward this to a different team for details." This usually means they don't have the item in stock, so I cancelled the ordered through Walmart. At this point you would think that I don't have to worry about this item anymore. However Virventures refused to accept my cancellation and 3 days later I got an email that the item had been shipped and my card charged for the item.
I am now trying to get this item return but Virventures says they will charge me 20% restocking fee plus I have to pay for shipping cost. I am communicating with Walmart on this issue and will post follow up to see if Walmart will also failed to assist in resolving this issue.
Stay away from Virventures, it seems that it is a nightmare to deal with this company.
This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced. We have been trying to return a product for 2 months now and it is beyond unacceptable.
I placed an order with this seller through WalMart and found a better price immediately after on Amazon. I tried to cancel the order right away but it required me to message the seller to initiate the return process. I messaged them, no response for several days (breaching the 2 day SLA stated) and they shipped it anyway. Then I called up to complain, they told me there's nothing they can do and to process a return. I get the item, process return, they have the nerve to charge a 15% restocking fee and make me cover shipping. This is the worst online seller I've dealt with through thousands of purchases. STAY FAR AWAY :(
Bought a dishwasher recently. Excellent product, fast delivery, no issues in between. I will definately purchase from them again.
Ordered from sears, delivery was fast and my product was in excellent condition! Recommend all!
I have ordered from this seller on multiple ocasions and the product and service was excellent on each and every order. Definately will buy again.
Excellent services. Delivered in time product arrived in excellent condition. Will definitely order next time from them.
Very good seller. Product arrived before the expected date! Item arrived in great condition, I am completely satisfied with the product. Worth buying!
The item arrived quickly than expected. The product is larger than imagined. It has a great, loud cracking sound. This is perfectly what we are looking for. Highly Recommended.
Product was exactly what I needed. Everything was good and good online purchase experience. I will purchase again from this vendor.
Very good seller. Item condition as described, fast shipping and prompt response. Thanks for the best service offered.
Answer: I have to agree with Frank that Vir Ventures is scam from personal experience and find it incredulous that Vir Ventures has 5 star reviews from Indian-sounding names like "Namesh, Gautam M., Shreyanshi M., Mrinmoy B. & Poojay". In fact, this is typical of their behavior and posting FAKE 5 STAR REVIEWS IS IN VIOLATION OF THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION AND CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT!
Answer: Yes Vir Ventures is indeed a scam company run by Indians whom post fake 5 star reviews to give the appearance that their company is reputable; when in reality, they sell substandard merchandise, have zero to no contact with customers when they want to return defective items and go to such extremes as to blatantly post FALSE, MISLEADING reviews. My advice is to shop elsewhere!
Answer: Honestly Dale, good luck getting a hold of anyone at Vir Ventures or returning the aforementioned item you purchased through Sears. Not only is their line always busy (presumably because so many people are returning defective merchandise), there seems to be zero recourse for returning items. Note: Vir Ventures is an Indian scam company that purchases bulk merchandise wholesale and then re-sells it at a profit - for these reasons, they can not take returns (since they only have a limited number of items to sell and just about profit, not customer satisfaction).
Answer: That's easy - Vir Ventures is an Indian-owned and run company that resells wholesale items at cheap prices to American customers; and therefore, to save face, has its friends and employees (whom are all obviously Indian) post fake 5 star rating to ensure the company gives the appearance of excellent service (when in fact it is an incredulous, unscrupulous business). Stay away!
Answer: Well Sylvia, as I mentioned to in my other posts (and all of the other customers who posted 41 ONE STAR REVIEWS), Vir Ventures is a SCAM COMPANY that sells substandard, defective merchandise to consumers and therefore cares less about customer satisfaction and more about profit. For these reasons, I highly doubt you will receive a return label or get a refund for your item. Your best bet is to purchase items through Amazon that has excellent customer support and returns (or another reputable business).
Answer: You can try, but they will jerk you around until you get fed up and quit.
