Poor customer service
I ordered a Littmann classic III stethoscope and paid for overnight shipping this last Sunday, expecting it on Tuesday. On Monday, I received a phone call and an email that the stethoscope was out of stock and would be in stock and shipped on Tuesday. I called Redding Medical and told them I still wanted that specific stethoscope as that was the question in the email. The website did not say the specific stethoscope I ordered was out of stock. I asked for some sort of compensation and I was told that I could be refunded for the overnight shipping, pay for the standard shipping and receive it in 5-7 business days. I told the lady on the phone that I’m just asking for some compensation for the 2 day delivery since I paid for overnight shipping which was $30. I was told “I’ve already given you your options.” I asked to speak to the manager. When the manager answered, I explained the story and how I wanted compensation for the overnight shipping I paid for. The manager also stated “I believe she told you your options.” After arguing with the manager on the phone, I was credited $5. Overnight shipping is $30 and 2 day shipping is $21. I was not aware that the stethoscope was out of stock. To my knowledge, I ordered a stethoscope that was in stock and I that I would be receiving it within 1 business day. I’m not at all impressed with my experience. I have ordered 2 stethoscopes with Redding Medical and do NOT plan on ordering any other items from this company. The customer service experience was not at all pleasant.
