Updated by user May 30, 2026

I've reached out to the seller repeatedly with no response. I've reached out to the credit card company who opened a dispute and investigation.

They stated because I authorized the purchase, it is not "fraud" and therefore cannot refund my money. They stated I would have to pursue the seller for the money to take legal action against them.

Original review May 30, 2026
On January 29, 2026, I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab Active5 tablet from Rugged Books for $414.99. My credit card was charged immediately.
After tracking showed no shipment activity, I contacted the company on February 11, 2026.

I received a written response from their Ecommerce Analyst stating:
"Unfortunately, due to an issue, this unit is out of stock. I will cancel your order... Your payment will be refunded."
The order was canceled, but the promised refund was never issued.
On February 13, 2026, I followed up requesting confirmation and documentation of the refund.

I was again told only that the order had been canceled. No refund documentation was provided, and no refund was received.
As of today, Rugged Books has retained my $414.99 despite acknowledging they could not fulfill the order and confirming the order was canceled.
I have filed complaints with the FTC and am pursuing all available remedies through my credit card issuer and consumer protection agencies.
Consumers should carefully research this company before making a purchase and should document all communications if they choose to do business with them.
I have retained copies of all emails and order documentation supporting these statements.
Loss:
$415
Cons:
  • Took my money and never provided product

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Save your money and peace
