Direct Support vs. External Complaints (BBB): What Gets You Paid Faster?
Many customers think that opening a complaint on the Better Business Bureau (BBB) or filing a bank dispute is the "nuclear option" to force a refund. The reality of the banking system is actually the opposite. Bringing in a third party (like the BBB or a bank) often freezes the process, turning a 2-day refund into a 30-day investigation. Here is a transparent comparison of the two paths:
Key Takeaway: For the fastest resolution, we recommend contacting the source (us) first. We have the direct ability to press the "Refund" button. Third parties do not.
Important: Why Complaints Can Delay Your Refund
This is a critical detail that most people don’t know: Opening a public complaint or a credit card dispute does not speed up your refund. In many cases, it actively delays it. Why? Because when a formal dispute is filed, the banking networks often lock the funds for investigation.
Once the funds are locked by a third party, our hands are tied. Even if we want to refund you immediately, we are often technically blocked from doing so until the external investigation concludes. Which can take weeks. The fastest path to your money is always a direct conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does filing a BBB complaint guarantee I get my money back?
No. The BBB is a mediator; they do not have the power to force a refund or move money. They simply forward your message to us—which delays the process compared to emailing us directly.
Is Cartpanda support a bot?
No. We have a team of over 400 dedicated support staff working globally. When you email support@cartpanda.com, a real human reviews your case, checks the transaction logs, and helps you.
Can I still open a complaint later if I'm not happy?
Absolutely. You always have that right. However, we strongly recommend giving our direct support team a chance to fix it first. In the vast majority of cases, we can solve the issue faster than it takes to fill out a complaint form.
