This might not be the typical post for this sub but I don't know where else to get help.
I bought a Nintendo plush for my son through the Nintendo Europe website nearly 2 months ago. It was dispatched not long after and I got an email from DPD saying they are expecting my parcel. DPD never updated tracking to say it'd been received and even now, 2 months later it still says they haven't yet received the item.
1) I opened a ticket with Nintendo Europe support (17/09) and received a response simply stating my request had been forwarded to the relevant department. They also requested I fill in a very basic (it had no branding) looking form stating I confirm I had not received the item.
2) I received no response to my submission of the form so chased the customer service rep up a week later and got a response on 25/09 saying it had been forwarded to the relevant department.
3) I heard nothing by 03/10 so I again chased with the same rep requesting a refund since my items had clearly not been fulfilled and and she simply told me it had been escalated and can't tell me anything else.
It's obviously nearly a month since I last chased this and have no idea what to do next. Nintendo have essentially stolen money from me since they are refusing to refund items not delivered.
I'm located in the UK and the Nintendo EU offices seem to be in Germany from what I can tell.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and managed to get a refund? Any advice on how I can escalate this since I'm hitting a brick wall with customer service?
