Stick486 Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) CPO Tools Ain't What It Use To Be... About four weeks ago I did an online order for a cordless 12V Bosch jigsaw through CPO... CPO Bosh Tools At checkout time I see that a 20$ promo offered by Bosch wasn't applied nor free shipping for the order was over 100$... Not only that, the shopping cart showed/had two saws listed at checkout for full price... I tried to cancel one saw, apply the promo and get the free shipping w/o success through the site... The following morning I called CPO C/S to try and get the order straight... The kid I talked to said there was nothing he could do about the promo nor the free shipping not getting applied... When I said that is not what the site says he said ''It is what it is''... Then proceeded to ask for a CC# to processes the order... I said I was canceling the order and he said ''FINE!'' and hung up... I waited a few days and called their CS again and got pretty much the same run around again and another ''It is what it is''... What prompted this post was the fact that I got another email from CPO this morning wanting my CC to complete the order... Yes, I told their CS I was canceling the order... Yes, I clicked the box on every single daily notice/request that I was canceling the order... Yes, I unsubscribed from CPO emails, multiple times... And yes, I received no help from their CS this morning – only got hung up on... I'm done w/ them and can no longer in good faith recommend them... After some look/see their pricing isn't the best any more either... Their CS has moved from ''outstanding to ''Flat out sucks''........

I have found that my stance of "do not take NO for an answer" and asking for a supervisor until I get the answer I want works pretty.

I call it the grenade approach. Will call 3 times and write down when and whom I spoke with and what if any resolution. Having failed on those attempts I print out a 1 page letter with 3 paragraphs, 1st is the problem, second the attempt at resolution, final one is my request to have the matter looked at by someone that is a specialist in customer service. No threats, just those 3 things. Has only failed once. I followed up the letter with a second one. This had the problem, failed attempts to resolve and the request all written again. With included documentation, as well as my complete write up posted on a social media they had access to. THAT, got someone's undivided attention and they worked hard to get me satisfied enough to delete the post. p_toad, FlGatorwood, JIMMIEM and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crap that everyone down wind on the issue gets is worth it. Had an issue with company I worked for years ago that had same problem. Was ignored for 6 months. Sent a letter in, had a VP of Operations calling my house the day it arrived. Problem was solved that evening and a check sent via live delivery next day. My DM at the time went to a meeting months later and they put the letter on the overhead as a demo of what happens when you let something get out of hand. Said he was dying laughing the whole time. hatuffej, Grandpadave52, Dadio and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ron Altier Posted March 29, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 About 10 years ago I ordered a camera on line and it never came. Repeated calls got me transferred to another place that never answered or I was put on hold until I hung up. The $350 was not taken from my account and I notified the bank not to take any charge from that company. If I had looked at the reviews first (most were BAD) I would not have ordered from them. Of course there was no "Amazon" then and bad businesses just kept on by changing their names. p_toad, Gunny, Dadio and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
