A BUSINESS MODEL THAT WILL CUT YOU OFF
I ordered a replacement pump and motor assembly for my Bosch clothes washer around 9/20/21. I received the package on 9/27/21. The item was in the original mfgr's cardboard box without any packing protection. This should have been put into an outer box with some protection, as it fits very tightly in the original box. The product arrived broken, and unuseable. I contacted them via email, and received a reply from "Mr. Marty Fenton". The email was sent around 3 AM, which tells me they are not here in USA. They requested photos, which I supplied, and an immediate re send was initiated. Another 7 days and the same identical problem, even though I told "Mr. Fenton" in detail about the packaging issue. His response was "You deserve much better". That was the last contact from anyone, even though I followed up with emails wondering what was taking place. No response from voice mails as well. I believe their business model is that once they arrive at a certain point of loss, they simply move on, knowing you will initiate a claim with your credit card. They may show a US address, but all of the time lines I have seen indicate offshore offices, and "Mr. Fenton" did indicate that he would have to wait until the warehouse opens up on a couple of occasions. I am retired after having started and run a business for over 47 years, so I have gained quite a bit of knowledge, and made many friends from my clients. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, and STEER CLEAR OF THIS ONE !!!! **Update** I emailed "Mr. Fenton" shortly after posting this review, about 4 hours ago. I just received a reply that they have initiated a refund, and have also had trouble with their internet, and I may not have received an email to that effect. Seems I've heard this story before. In emailing them after my initial post here, I told them that someone has to step up, so I will be utilizing my resources to let others know to avoid them. I'm not finished yet! ** Yet another update** The "credit" to my card on 10/13/21 was actually a 2nd charge to my card. I now have 2 disputes filed against them. This just keeps getting better! I wish we could give them "minus stars" or the poop emoticon, as they have certainly earned it.
