Poor Customer Service
I've shopped online at Campmor more than a few times over the years, but no more. Campmor simply doesn't understand customer service, so my business will all go to REI and others in the future. I returned an item in perfect condition, original packaging, etc. and insured the return. It was a size issue, and I immediately ordered a replacement in a different size from Campmor. According to the USPS tracking number, the returned item was received by Campmor on Feb 16. I waited a few days, and after receiving no confirmatory e-mail from Campmor I sent an email on the 19th. I received an online reply that said returns processing takes 3-5 days. I waited until day six and still hadn't heard anything from Campmor, nor had my credit card been credited. I called and was told by a gentleman in customer service that it would be processed and that I shouldn't worry. He wasn't rude, but he wasn't overly polite either. I asked if he could verify that the item was received by Campmor and he said that my USPS tracking number was my verification (I took that as a "no"). That told me that Campmor hadn't done a thing for six days. On day eight, still not having received any refund or confirmation of receipt of the returned item from Campmor, I sent an e-mail requesting answers. All I received was an "automated response" (no kidding), telling me that they had opened a "ticket number" concerning my customer service issue, and to use that "ticket number" in all future correspondence. I called today (day 9), after receiving no communication since the "automated response" and was told that my refund was processed yesterday. I just checked my bank and no refund. I'm sure that the refund will show up soon, but that's not the point. The week+ delay before anything got done, the complete lack of communication, and the not-very-concerned attitude of the customer service rep. have soured me on Campmor. It's a competetive online market in the outdoor industry. Others do it better than Campmor; it's as simple as that.
