Aggressive sales and deceptive design process
Working with Andy and Diego at Floatie Kings was an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience. SALES PROCESS: First of all, the sales process is SUPER aggressive. From the start, it feels like are they care about is getting you to pay a deposit and set fake 'deadlines' to rush you. After I paid everything two things happened: (1) They tried to trick me into paying twice by sending me another payment link with the full amount. I replied saying that I already settled the full balance. (2) There was additional shipping costs due to the size of the product that were not communicated to me. After the product was delivered, they HARASSED me trying to get me to pay the additional shipping costs on top of the shipping costs I ALREADY PAID. Non-stop calling, texting, emailing and even tried to DM me on social media. DESIGN PROCESS - The initial 'mock up' is AI generated and not anything near actual design. This is how they get your to pay the deposit. - After that, there is a ton of back and forth with their offshore "design team" that completely does not care about the design or how your product is going to look. It felt like all they wanted was to get some crappy (not brand aligned) design done as fast as possible to get more payment. I would wait 3 days for an 'updated design' and it would be worse than the one before. It didn't seem like anyone there actually cared what it looked like (they made shape of the object super disproportional and warped). The product idea is cool but I will not be using Floatie Kings again because they do not care about their customers and I just had such a bad experience.
