Repeated lies, broken promises, no delivery and deeply concerning customer service
The way Beatbot has handled my order has left me feeling seriously misled. I have significant concerns about their business practices and whether their sales information complies with EU consumer protection rules. Their robots may be excellent, but I cannot judge that because mine has never arrived. According to the carrier, Beatbot shipped my order with an incomplete address, despite my order confirmation showing my full, correct address. I have been chasing this almost daily. Beatbot repeatedly promises urgent action and priority handling, yet I still have no robot and receive no meaningful proactive updates. I checked several statements from customer service directly with the carriers and found factual discrepancies. Beatbot has not substantively addressed them. After repeated contradictory explanations and broken promises, I find it increasingly difficult to trust what they tell me. The original shipment is now being returned to the sender by the courier. I expressly authorised an immediate replacement, separately from the compensation discussion. Instead of simply resolving the delivery problem, Beatbot made a replacement conditional on accepting its proposed settlement and giving up further compensation claims. They even chose to cancel the delivery! I have payed, but the won't deliver. Meanwhile, I have incurred additional pool-maintenance expenses, and those costs continue to increase while the robot remains undelivered. There are also problems with the promotional information. A discount code, for this specific product, offered before purchase was rejected at checkout. Only after I contacted customer service did they explain a minimum-spend restriction that was not stated in the promotional email I received. I also encountered inconsistent delivery information across the website, shipping policy and order confirmation. Customer service has failed to provide clear answers. Taken together, this feels deeply deceptive. The issue is no longer just a failed delivery, but how Beatbot communicates, handles complaints and responds when its explanations are challenged. I have submitted a formal complaint to the Italian Competition Authority, AGCM, and am pursuing further steps. The regulatory concerns have been submitted for assessment and have not yet been ruled on. I wanted a robot and a straightforward purchase. Instead, I'm spending weeks investigating shipment problems, challenging inaccurate information and chasing promises that lead nowhere. The customer service has been disgraceful. Based on my experience, I strongly advise caution before ordering directly from Beatbot.
