Non-existent Customer Services....Scam?
4 Patriots has been advertising their buy one 72 hour food kit, get 2 free everywhere. I decided to check them out and went to their web site and specifically looked for the offer button link. I clicked, ordered 2 kits. What showed up was 2 72 hour food kits, no sign of the 4 free kits I should have received. Their customer service options are a scam. I have been on hold for almost 45 minutes as I write this review. While waiting, they eventually switch to a we will call you back, leave a call back number with no option to stay on hold. You have no choice but to leave a number or the system will just hang up on you. I also tried to speak with an agent on live chat, no such luck. I filed a customer service ticket and no response. I am getting the feeling that this issue will not be resolved. Last time I will ever buy from this company and will stick with My Patriot Supply in the future. Here is a follow up to my ongoing frustration with 4 Patriots. First, It was not until I wrote my original review did I get a response from the company. There was never a response from their customer service department from direct calls, emails or starting a "ticket". Like many reviews on Trust Pilot written about this company, they give you the run around. They tell you, you clicked on the wrong link. No, I was very careful to click on the link for the specific offer. However, you have no way to prove you did. They say, look at your order, it tells them you clicked on the wrong link. Easy for them to say. You really have no recourse. If you are running a national promotion for a specific time frame, no matter how you placed the order, the promotion should be fulfilled. This has all the earmarks of a scam. I suggest you be very careful ordering from this company. Chances are, you will get ripped off. It seems, they do not take the old adage, the customer is always right to heart and just fix things. They would rather give you all the excuses than make it right. I guess they really don't care about the customer or bad reviews. Stay away. This will be my final update to this review. After several emails from "customer service", over the course of a week after my follow up review. including an offer to purchase the buy one get one kit being still available to buy if I wanted to (yeah, right!), I got an email from what seemed to be a customer service manager letting me know that the 4 free food packs would be shipped to maintain customer relations (paraphrased). It took about a week, but the 4 food kits finally showed up. I appreciate the shipment, but, I would still be wary ordering from this company and be ready for a fight if you do order.
