Nebroo fiasco
My experience with Nebroo was way less than satisfactory. I’ve kept all my correspondence and phone records to verify my side of this horrible experience! They give you a 90 day trial period which was fine. Other companies I looked into had less time and I wasn’t sure if I was getting an amplified ear bud or a genuine hearing aid. My initial call was fine except when it came to the cost. I did an upgrade at first and then I had to have the cleaner etc. the last thing was a warranty! After giving it some thought I told her to decline the warranty. By now we’re over $500. The young lady I spoke to was very nice and assured me I could call back anytime and ask questions. I saw they were in Austin TX so I felt comfortable dealing with them. When the package arrived I didn’t open it for a few days as it was a very hectic time of year. In the meantime, I talked to several sources and decided that I would be better off getting the surgery instead. So I called back and again I spoke to a young lady that told me I had to get a return ‘number’ before returning them and when I asked for the address I got the same response, someone else had that info. She then transferred me over to that extension. I was on the phone waiting for over an hour…….no one ever picked up. I left my name and number and they called on Sunday morning (church time) three agents right in a row. The first two I couldn’t understand. They never called back after that initial call. I called back about two weeks and again waited for over an hour and no one picked up. Next day same thing. They only had one number to call and that was the Austin number. I finally connected with Shaun in February and I told him I wanted to return the item and that it has not been used. Everything is in the box the way it came in. He asked why and I told him that I decided to go with the surgery instead……. He asked when I having surgery and I told him I didn’t have a date yet, we were still working that out. Bottom line……. he kept telling me I need to try these first before I go for surgery. We went back and forth for a while and he finally told me I had to send them to Canada. I asked why? I asked if he was going to send me a return label? NO! Again we went back and forth. I said they came from IL, why would I send them to Canada? He told me that was just a small building for other things. Then he told me I had to take a photo of the contents and also a photo of the postal receipt and send that to them before they issued a credit. I was then put on hold for a bit and when he came back he told me he would credit me $200 if I wanted to keep them. And he would extend the trial period. I again asked why? I’m getting surgery and would not need them. He then suggested I donate them. I told him I couldn’t afford that. We continued to haggle and he said he would give me back $301 if I just wanted to gift them to someone. I told him I’d have to consult with my kids first. He said he could only make that offer right now and if I hung up without confirmation it would expire immediately. I had my kids close by and they heard the conversation. One of them nodded to me to accept that offer. So I did. She knew someone who might be able to use them. So she said let’s charge them up and get everything ready for this friend who would be forever grateful! So we did! The next day we took them off the charger and got them ready…….or so we thought! They charged all through the night and the next morning but they never did turn green as per the instructions……. We gave it more time to charge. The next day they were still in charging mode. But my daughter said let’s try them, they’ve had plenty of time to charge. She set them up and one of them still had not charged. The other one that had an ‘L’ on it only squealed in the ‘R’ ear, it didn’t work in the left ear. She was having problems connecting the units and called Nebroo for help and they asked her where she got the units and she told them that they were a gift. She was on the phone for more than a half hour trying things out as they suggested. They weren’t able to help her and told her to call back the next day. She still had the unit in her ear when it went dead and needed to be recharged. I was grateful at that point I had not given these units to somebody that needed them only to find out they weren’t any good. I packed it back and will be sending it back to the IL. address. I am also going to contact my credit card company and have the balance refunded to me. This company was willing to cut the price in half just to sell it! I don’t like companies that do business that way. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THEM! I have since contacted my cc company about this fiasco!
