BUYER BEWARE! Misleading Marketing, Hidden Fees & Zero Accountability
Our experience with Gravotech has been an absolute headache from the initial sales process through the handling of our return request. We purchased an M20 Jewel engraving machine for over $10,000, only to receive the wrong configuration and discover that the machine does not come as advertised on their website. Buyer beware: the machine is pictured fully assembled with its sides and top enclosure, yet those components were not included in our shipment. This was never disclosed during the sales process. This is incredibly irresponsible, misleading and deceptive marketing. The sales team appeared to have little understanding of the product they were selling, resulting in misinformation, incorrect equipment, hidden costs, and weeks of wasted time and energy. We were then expected to assemble, troubleshoot, and resolve issues with a machine that should have been properly represented and supplied from the beginning. What makes this experience even worse is the complete lack of accountability. Rather than taking responsibility for the sales and equipment issues, Gravotech repeatedly tried to shift the burden and blame onto us, the customer. Also beware of their 20% restocking fee for returns. This significant fee was not clearly communicated during our purchasing process. Only after requesting a return did we learn of it. Although Gravotech eventually offered to waive the fee, they still expected us to pay return shipping despite the circumstances surrounding the sale. After weeks of frustration, countless communications, and a completely derailed holiday engraving launch, we are left with nothing but wasted time, money, and resources. As a small business owner, I am appalled by the lack of professionalism, product knowledge, transparency, and customer service. This entire experience has been a massive headache and waste of time that could have been avoided with honest marketing, knowledgeable sales representatives, and basic accountability. An absolute disgrace for a company selling equipment at this price point. Before purchasing from Gravotech, I strongly recommend getting written confirmation of exactly what is included, any additional assembly or training requirements, all potential fees, and their return policy. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I cannot recommend this company.
