Interesting developments with respect to my 3rd Crafty failure (89hrs)
RMA request sent on 08/29/2016
did not receive response:shrug:
Sent E-mail to S&B (Oakland) on 9/6/2016
Received E-mail from S&B that afternoon with a RMA and a shipping label:nod: (for 2lbs)
Sent non functioning...
So I finally was able to visit Colorado. First stop was a dispensory! Loaded up the crafty and enjoyed some Ogre Kush. Boosted temperature to pull out whats left............red/yellow death lights.
Unbelievable!!!! Crafty dead the first day of a two week trip to CO. ( luckily I-inhale and...
After a whole 2 hrs of use, my 3rd replacement Crafty refuses to vibrate. It still works except for the vabration part. I turned the vibration off through the app and it never turned back on.
I think I'll wait to send it back again. I'll build up a bunch of hours and battery...
Interesting. Very strange CS. Is this because you sent it back to the retailer? I just got my crafty back yesterday (from Oakland) after sending it back with the non functionings power button issue. After seeing your post, I was sure I would get my old slow unit back (~80 hrs / 3min heat...
1st Crafty: red/yellow lights of death at 27 hrs:|......denied warranty (S&B said water damage):(.......I disputed claim and wanted further explanation:hmm:.......horrible customer service ensued :mad:.......after more than a month, S&B accepts my point of view, gives in an sends me...
:rockon:
It has arrived!
Woohoo!!! Now I can re-retire my :mflb:. It'll be tough to forget about this past month. I'm sure my new Crafty will do all it can to to help me forget.
Thank you to those who made suggestions and recommendations. Either S&B finally got tired of hearing from me, or...
To the FC staff and posters - my emotions got the best of me on my last post. My one sided dealings with S&B created much frustration.
But there is an update!
I tried one more E-mail to the company reitterating my request of "water damage" proof. I also asked for a refund if this could not...
S&B continue to ignore me. At this point I would love to get a refund and be done with this shit-show of product reliability and customer service.
Has anybody actually gotten a refund? Their policy as stated on their web page is:
1.7. No returns/no refunds: All sales are final. No refunds...
Thanx for the support. What you stated is exactly what my mindset was.
I managed a business that manufactured medical products for personal use for 17 years. A few years back, we ran into quality issues on one of our products. We quickly realized that we needed to immediately do all we could...
If I am ever able to engage in an actual conservation with them, I would certainly disclose that the product was used "above Water". I would also stress that water did not touch the Crafty. I just did not want them to immediately discount me for some usage incident.
As seen on the S&B facebook page today:
And its not me......
Today at 1:50am
WELL ANOTHER DAY WITH NO REPLY FROM STORZ AND BICKLE! THEY ARE NOW CHOOSING TO IGNORE MY EMAILS REGARDING 'FIT FOR PURPOSE'! PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE CUSTOMER AFTER CARE IS NON EXISTENT BUYER PLEASE BE AWARE , THEY...
So I sent an E-mail directly to S&B Germany on 9/20 about my less than confident experiences with both the Crafty and Customer service. Here it is in all its glory:
Dear Mr. Jürgen Bickel,
I reside in the United States and I am writing this in hopes that you could resolve an issue I have...
I've been trying to work with S&B US. I wonder if I should try contacting Germany? Whould this be considered moving "up the ladder" or would they just pass me back off to the US?
Maybe an E-mail addressed directly to Jürgen Bickel or Markus Storz? Obviously they would never really recieve it...
:mad::mad::mad:
Thanx skeletor ! I have still not heard anything from S&B. No e-mail response, no calls... Nothin'! I even tried to call again and couldnt get through on any option. Not even sales.
I have read conflicting opinions on where a small claims appearances should be, but I would...
