Revamping Your Processes
Revamping Your Processes Besides the sale person being helpful, every other experience was awful. I ended up getting an incomplete product without the wheels making it unusable. I found customer service people without empathy or concern for my situation and always making excuses for non-results. I wanted the wheels overnighted to me and a partial refund for the several dents I found on two of my three boards. Unfortunately, it took several emails and calls to get a decision made. I got an excuse that emails are queued and people level early so many hours can go by without someone reading them. The decision to send the wheels took over 48 hours to get approved (+2 days). I expected to get them on a Friday, but they took another week to actually get to me. The excuse was the production department was very busy (+5 days) and Fedex didn't pickup the package (+1 day). I was floored that a production problem in the first place which is obviously a production error in the first place is not resolved within 24 hours for the customer having the product. It took over 8 days for me to get functional boards. They said they would replace the boards because of the dents, but it took close to a month of waiting for the first set of non-functional boards to be sent to me and I thought I'd have something that worked quickly and could not wait another month for shipping/production to happen. I didn't mention that when tracking the shipment it stayed 2-3 days in a town near me until I called because they didn't have proper instructions to deliver them to me. When I finally got the wheels there were no instructions on proper installation (wondered if I needed screws or not to hold them in place) and I got double the number of needed wheels (not sure what to do with the extra box of them.... So this experience involved me calling or emailing 10-12 times and never feeling like I would get results. I now have three functional boards two with several dents in them. They look like high quality materials and look good, but the process of getting them was a nightmare. I'd appreciate this going to a VP or president of the company the processes need to be vastly improved.
