sent out. They have told me the font must be returned prior to the correct font being sent out. This would be fine if I had a way of returning the font. The internet sales rep will not return calls. This is holding up gaining certification on our project.
Second order for a Stiebel Eltron hot water unit was stalled for two weeks. We are now told the item is damaged and will be another two weeks. Again cannot get rep to respond and am struggling to get a resolution. Worst purchasing experience I have ever had with terrible customer supprt.

Rushfaster

- See all
I see a lot of positive reviews for Rushfaster, but unfortunately my experience has been the complete opposite her win New Zealand. The first issue… Read more
was a bag I purchased for around $300 (including shipping). After only four months of light use, the interior lining cracked and started to fail. Instead of being offered a refund, I was told I have to wait for the manufacturer to process a warranty claim. If it’s approved, the only options are a replacement bag or store credit with Rushfaster. I don’t think that’s fair, and I don’t think it’s an acceptable outcome for a faulty product.
The second issue happened around the same time. I purchased another bag, but due to a shipping or customs error, it was returned before it reached me. It then took several weeks to arrive, with lots of admin by which time the reason I had bought it had already passed. Ive not had this issue from any other international seller.
Based on these experiences, I won’t be using Rushfaster again. I don’t think it’s reasonable to deny a full refund on a product that has failed so quickly. Funny enough I now see they don';t stock this brand either so maybe that's why. Store credit isn’t useful when there’s nothing else I want to buy from the retailer.
Lesson learned. If you have the option of buying locally, through Amazon, or directly from the manufacturer, I’d recommend doing that instead of Rushfaster.

Terrible customer service – We ordered a window display for our office which was supposed to be 3 x A4 wide and 4 high. When it arrived the rails weren't wide enough for the… Read more
display and the wires had to angle out to go around the display. I figured they'd sent us rails for a portrait display instead of the landscape we ordered. Contacted support, dealt with [Name Removed]. At first told us our windows weren't wide enough. I sent him our window measurements which were wider than required. Then told us to just have a 2 wide display. I told him if I wanted a 2 wide display that's what I would have ordered. I told him I just wanted the metal rails that the display hangs off to be wide enough and fit for purpose. So then he told me to cut them to make them fit, so I asked he was going to pay to have that done, no reply to that. He then told me that "if I like" I could send the whole lot back for a refund. We'd spent hours unpacking, taking off wrapping tape, bubble wrap etc from the 10 boxes it all came in. Now he doesn't respond at all. We would never ever use this company again, and we will be warning our group not to use them. Terrible customer support Update- received an email from [Name Removed] the next morning. Hey Doug, would you like me to cut a rail for you and send it over. [Name Removed] if you cutting is as bad as your customer service it'd be useless anyway

This is a scam site . I ordered a coffee pot in stainless steel and a very poor quality aluminum pot arrived . There is no customer service ! I have just lost €30.00 plus a lot of aggravation trying to contact them and going in circles . Show details
It was not possible to make a claim ! The A.I. assistant sent me to a review . When I complained they said they hoped my day would improve!!

can not call mighty ape on a phone. They have not attempted to contact me, and I am now getting very frustrated, as I am in a loop with no people. So not purchase from them, shop local, as you have no recourse if your item is not delivered. I paid at least two weeks ago, and no item, nothing, and no mention why, or a refund even, as requested. Beware as you can not talk to anyone, and mighty ape just send a request to the retailer, so no help at all, they have my money, I have no item. SHOP LOCAL OR ACCEPT PAYING AND GETTING THE RUN AROUND UN A LOOP IF MISERY. shop local, shop local shop local!!!!!

emails asking if it in stock and to advise of the issue. So far 10 days later zero response. All the while my son's escooter is unusable. To get any response and action it took me serving papers to attend QCAT. I was hoping their service level would have improved but so far that is not the case. The only reason I am using Mytopia is they are the sole distributor for Valk scooters.

Dry Elastic Long Sleeve Swimwear Swimsuit Surfing Diving Beach Winter (Order 88396434) from LightInTheBox. The shirt arrived labeled 4XL, but it is global/Asian sizing and nowhere near a standard Australian XL. To make matters worse, the size tag on the trousers was completely missing, so there is no way to verify what size they actually sent. When I tried to sort it out, I found out I have to pay expensive international return shipping for their mistake. Not worth the hassle. Save your money.

so I re-entered them but stupidly didn’t check the total before confirming and was charged $69.99. When I realised that same morning I immediately sent an email but the reply was it would take 2 days for a response so I rang to cancel the order but was told ‘already picked/packed and sent for dispatch so nothing can be done.’ I was then told the jumpers were never $48.99 but that is untrue. I contacted the sales team but just kept receiving unhelpful ‘nothing could have been done’ but the items had not been dispatched when I called. Of course I can return them at my cost but that would make them even more expensive. I have bought many items from Innovations over the years but never again.
