FAILURE TO HONOR WARRANTY
FAILURE TO HONOR WARRANTY. On January 4, 2024, I contacted Goby about my toothbrush handle’s having lost its ability to hold a charge. Goby responded saying that “we’ll utilize our warranty to send a new brush handle.” Following that, I emailed Goby four times requesting a follow-through on the replacement, but each resulted merely in a seemingly automated response about heavy email volumes and alleged shipping delays. On February 26, I let Goby know that I would submit a complaint to the BBB if I didn’t hear back from them with details on the replacement. I did not hear back from them, so I submitted the complaint. Two days later, I received another canned response from Goby alleging ongoing shipping delays. It appears that Goby uses that excuse frequently to explain their inability to provide warrantied replacement items (even though there seem to be no such delays with shipping out the exact same items if purchased new). I have since requested a refund on the purchase price of the toothbrush, but Goby has rejected the request. Given my experience with Goby and their flippant responses to my inquiries, given the numerous BBB complaints against them for failing to honor their warranty, given the numerous online reviews here and elsewhere noting Goby's poor customer service, and given their refusal to provide a refund, I myself have no desire to use Goby products ever again. It is surprising to me that a company that specializes in only one product and that speaks so proudly of their warranty for that product could be so dismissive of customers when that product fails.
