July 2020 - Received defective microwave - terrible customer service experience
We ordered a Whirlpool microwave online from AJ Madison in late July 2020, and received the product within 5 business days. The product was delivered intact and appeared new, in the factory packaging. However, upon first inspection, the door latch was defective, and it would not open. Re-boxed the microwave and called AJ Madison to initiate the return process. After 22 minutes on hold, the CSR spoke with us for 3 minutes, and wanted us to unbox the microwave again to take a video of the door latch not functioning, to prove our claim that the microwave was defective. We simply refused and stated we wanted to return and replace this unit. After another 25 minute hold, the CSR indicated she issued a UPS call tag to pickup the defective unit, but could not ship a replacement unit until a month later, due to item out of stock. We wanted to talk with the sales department to find another microwave that is in stock, so the CSR transferred us and put us into another phone queue! An hour into this process, we could no longer hold on the phone, and decided to call back another day. Today we called back, and was on hold for 17 minutes, spoke with someone in Sales about purchasing a different unit shown in stock on their website. He then indicated that they would not ship the unit separate from the trim kit, and the trim kit is out of stock. We then asked to get a refund, and he transferred us to another CSR, and we waited on hold over 20 minutes to speak with her. Once we spoke with her, she indicated that she needed to get confirmation from the warehouse that our return was received, even though we provided the UPS tracking number that shows it was delivered back to their warehouse. Now we are WAITING AGAIN for a call back, in order to apply our credit to re-ship a new unit. REALLY? I WILL NEVER AGAIN ORDER ANOTHER PRODUCT FROM AJ MADISON. July 30th update: have not yet received a call back from AJ Madison CSR, however an AJ Madison representative just offered On this site to assist in resolving our concern, thank you very much. Our order # is 121716975. Tracking # of returned product is 1Z5Y2F220396643267. 9/1/20 UPDATE: UPS shows the defective Microwave was returned to AJ Madison on 7/27/20. No refund issued or contact from AJ Madison since. I will try contacting the company again by phone, but don't look forward to the long wait on hold again. 9-21 Update: Full refund received on credit card statement. Updated review from 1 star to 2 because AJ Madison contacted me via TrustPilot, based on this review, and issued a refund.
