I ordered a 507tpms8 system on December 3, 2012 over the phone using a credit card for $518.00. Received confirmation of the order that day and a UPS tracking number.
The item did not arrive on December 5th as scheduled but decided to give it a few more days due to the holidays. On December 6th I received an email from UPS that the company (Truck System Technologies) had cancelled my order.
I wrote an email to Truck Systems Technologies on December 6th cancelling my order with them. They had already cancelled my order but it seemed the right thing to do just to be clear. On that same day I ordered from one of their competitors who came in a close second in my determination of the best system to purchase.
I waited to hear from them but did not get a phone call or return email. On Wednesday (December 12th) I discovered that they had charged my credit card and there was no refund pending.
I called the company on December 12 and spoke with "Jeff" who identified himself and the VP of the company. I explained the circumstance and he said he would get into it and call me back by 10 AM the following day. At 11:30 there was still no call so I called the company again.
I was put right through to Jeff who said he had figured out it was all UPS's fault and that he would speak to the owner and see if he would authorize the refund. He added that he would call me back with the results that day..this was Thursday December 13th.
I have contacted the credit card company to dispute the charge and have now started a complaint with the BBB.
I have appreciated that TST always answers the phone but when a shipment is cancelled by the supplier they should immediately issue a refund. I realize that many have commented that it is a good system and I'll have to agree as I decided to purchase one....but I can't work with a company that cannot deliver as promised and then won't refund.
Hello all,
Let me start by saying that we take customer service, as well as, product performance very seriously.
This customers order was mishandled, and we do take full responsibility for this. We are not infallible, and we do make the occasional mistake.
This customer sent us an email asking that his order be canceled, and additionally, that he not be contacted regarding the matter.
When he did call, and references a "Jeff", we have no one on staff under that name. We have Mike Benson, Elizabeth Byard, and Abby Crump. No Jeff...
We offered to upgrade his warranty to a three year warranty which he refused, and his money has been refunded.
We realize that we cannot satisfy everyone, however, we do strive to do such and to that end we are generally very successful.
While we apologize to this client for this error, we have many Heartland owners who are satisfied with both our product and our service. We take these matters extremely seriously, and we can only learn and better ourselves through these events.
I invite any client to contact me directly at (770) 889-9102 or you may email me at
dcovington@tsttruck.com with any issues or concerns.
Again, we do apologize and have attempted to make this situation right. I am one of the owners of TST and I am the CEO.
Thank you all for your patronage and support. I am always available to assist. I too am an RV enthusiast and enjoy the memories and lifestyle RVing affords my family and I.
