DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
On April 5th, 2023, we ordered a Waterway Proclean single cartridge filter from this company (Pool Supply Unlimited). We received the item on the 24th (19 days later), on Saturday May 6th, and when it was unboxed for the installation, we saw that the inlet port was damaged beyond use (see images). I went to their website and filled out a Refund/RMA request on Sunday the 7th of May, but no one reached out to us for a refund or return shipping label. After calling multiple times eventually I got through, and a ticket was created by Isaac Chagoyan (sales) who requested photo proof of the damage. These images were sent on the 11th of May for a “UPS Damage claim”. This is where things took a turn. I am still waiting for my refund and for a return shipping label on this item. I was told that they have all they needed but still it's been over two months since the initial purchase, and I have yet to receive my refund for a broken product. In all this time my pool has turned green, and I had to front the additional cost to purchase another unit (with another company thankfully) to get everything working properly. I don't understand why, given the proof of damage (sent images), that my money is being held hostage by this company. They couldn’t even hold up their end of the transaction! No one have ever reached out with an update, or to process my refund. In fact, every conversation with the company was initiated by me. To this date, my last email to Isaac was 11 days ago with him telling me to “please stand by for a response”. This has been one of my worst customer service experiences so far and just an outright fraudulent business practice, holding people’s money ransom. If you are considering buying from the company, DON’T! Save yourself the time and hassle. It’s not worth the aggravation. BUYER BEWARE!
Response from Pool Supply UnlimitedJun 16, 2023
Hello Lyndale, We're sorry about the broken Waterway Filter you received. We and our suppliers do our very best to safely package and ship our products. Unfortunately, there are times when shipping damage occurs, as in this case. When shipping damage happens, we must follow policies and procedures with our suppliers and the shippers (in this case UPS) to ensure everyone is justly compensated. We understand that UPS is backed up with damage claims, and that is the reason why you did not receive an immediate refund. We are very sorry wait, for the inconvenience this has caused, and the lack of communication from our team. Our team will be using this as a learning experience for the future. The full amount of the Waterway filter, including associated shipping charges, has been refunded back to your credit card. We hope you have a terrific remainder of you swim season.
