STANDARD SHIPPING = UPS BASIC! DON"T BE FOOLED AND DON" BE FOOLISH LIKE I WAS!

Ulta pulled the same basic BS on me. To add insult to injury now my package has disappeared (1st time ever have a problem with UPS) and now I have to deal with a whole another process and delays. I am super disappointed all around with both parties. I had a package to mail this weekend too. I was going to send it UPS but now I am going to USPS to send it because I have lost faith in UPS delivery reliability.

Happens in Canada too.
They didn't say where the product was made in the catalogue advertisement. It was, however, stamped in big red letters on the box the item was in. The quality reflects the 3rd world country where it's made. Never would have ordered if all the information was in the catalogue description. Returned them immediately. Then I paid interest on the purchase price while wating on the refund. That was weeks after I shipped them back. Oh, and did I mention the shipping costs I had to eat to find out the inferior quality of this item? All in all really bad service for Canadians as well. Cost me approximately $50.00 (those pesky shipping & interest charges) to learn to NEVER deal with Hammler Schlemmer again.

I entirely agree with the complaints about Hammacher Schlemmer customer service. I ordered a beach chair from them in early April. It arrived within a reasonable period, but when I opened the box, it was defective. I sent it back, and they promised to ship a replacement in early June. Early June came, I called, and was told, "Oops, it didn't come in to the warehouse." They gave me a new shipping date of June 30. I called on that day, and they had no idea whether it had arrived in their warehouse or not. They told me to call back the next day. I did, and again, all they could say was that their computer did not show it arriving. I said, "I've waited 90 days now. How about calling over to the warehouse and see if it arrived." They said, "We're not allowed to do that." I said, "Okay, what about going the extra mile since it has been 90 days with two missed shipping dates and find out a good and realistic date that it will arrive. They said, "Nope, we can't do that either." When I asked, "Well what can you do?" Their answer was, "We can give you technical information on the product, but that's it." They did not care whether I got my chair or not, and they had no one in the company they could (or would) refer me to who did care. If I ran my business that way, I would be out of business in about a week.

Like the consumer with the Christmas tree issue I too have been VERY unhappy with Hammacher Schlemmer and would never do business with them again. I ordered a Personalized Jigsaw Puzzle from them, they charged my credit card and I received a notice that it had shipped via UPS a month ago. UPS has no record of the item and the tracking # I was given is invalid. It's been more than 6 weeks since I ordered and still no answers. I have emailed and spoke to customer service to no avail. The best they can tell me is to try to re-order. Because this item was personalized there is a 4-6 week delivery so no Christmas gift. I have been given the runaround at every junction and now foresee a problem getting my money back. I would suggest EXTREME caution to anyone considering ordering from this company.

I Was VERY HAPPY with my experience with Hammacher Schlemmer!

While I realize that there may be some problems from time to time, with every company, I have to say that I WAS VERY PLEASED with my purchase and my experience with Hammacher Schlemmer's customer service. I had ordered 2 Power Failure lights from this company 2 weeks ago, this past Thursday. The next morming (Friday), Hammacher Schlemmer's Customer Service representative called me to clarify how many of these lights I wanted, since it showed 3 order numbers for the same product. I told them that I only wanted 2 of these lights, and I have had a problem in the past, when ordering online from other companies, of having fine hand tremors, that caused extra orders to go through. They were very nice about this, and cancelled the extra orders. I was very appreciative that they called to check, and and to verify the quantity that I wanted before my order was shipped.

I received my Power Failure lights in a timely manner (7 days from my intial order). I am also very pleased with these lights.

I will definitely order from them again!

I ordered a musical caterpillar for my grandson for Christmas. I was informed that there was a shipping rebate and if I filled out some paperwork, I would get shipping refunded. What it didn't say was I would be joining some rewards program. I received an email a few days later saying my rebate check was being mailed. I NEVER received the check and then 30 days later, my credit card was charged $14.95. When I called Hammeracher, the first woman hung up on me. The second person I talked to was very rude and said she would "cancel my membership". I said can you reverse the charge on my credit card, but it still is on my credit card. Guess I will have to dispute it with my credit card company. Please beware...this company tries to scam people...especially senior citizens!

WORST ONLINE WEB STORE AROUND!

Here's how these fools do business with Canadians.

The online web store is like a "venus fly trap" It seduces you with it's apparent ease of use...this is becuase it really is no more than an information gathering device for "HAMMER IT TO YOU AND SCHLEPPER"

Even when you successfully complete your checkout, and you have in hand a checkout receipt, followed up by an emailed order confirmation with the same total, you will have a nasty surprise coming to you later...In our case, the addition of 100.00 dollars in extra freight charges on an order that was completed with the shopping cart accepting a valid "HAMMER IT TO YOU AND SCHLEPPER" coupon code!

When we complained to "HAMMER IT TO YOU AND SCHLEPPER" we are told to take a hike as we should of navigated our way to the hidden fine print page that says in effect...We can shaft you after the fact with absolutley no advance warning or option, to decide if you in fact as a consumer, want to pay this additional freight! They just tack it on!

Remember, a good online retailer would and should contact the customer if additional charges to an online order may be incurred, not just jamming them on and telling you to take a FLYER!

In Closing, any Canadian who buys of these irresponsible carpet baggers...This is the way they were probably doing business in 1899!
should exercise extreme caution! If you must buy from them, Call your order in and get a total first. Though with these people they would probably still try to stick some additional amount on after the fact!

"HAMMER IT TO YOU AND SCHLEPPER' stay away from them!
