We do apologise for the late response on this feedback. The customer in this instance approached us to say that they were happy with the product overall but one of the batteries did not fit in the battery compartment, this is slightly unusual for two reasons, firstly, the battery compartment of the monitor is created by a standard mould that comes in one size only and in addition to that every single monitor is tested (which involves putting the batteries in and checking the monitor switches on and functions properly) before the quality assurance QR code is added to the back of the monitor. Nonetheless we immediately offered a replacement monitor and we have already shipped this to the customer.
However the customer raised a dispute and automatically posted this review before we could even have a chance to remedy the situation, the email communications from our part was slightly delayed which we acknowledge. It is worth noting that we have 4 means of communication including Phone ( +447704408986), SMS, Whatsapp and email and we aim to respond within a 2 hr period and for SMS. Whatsapp and immediately via Phone (or within 1 hr if we are calling back).
The monitor where the reported battery compartment issue was is an upgradeable accessory so a simple replacement would normally suffice as opposed to a full procust replacement which weighs 55kg especially since the customer has disposed of the original packaging. The original packaging is specifically designed to protect couriers and handlers for health and safety purposes, and under the UK Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 it would be unsafe — and therefore unlawful — to transport such a large, heavy item without the proper protective packaging.
Now this is probably where we should end this ….but
This customer threatened us, our staff, became very aggressive, and obviously tried some bullying manoeuvres including the above review. They listed about a 100 different ways they were going to take us to court and take legal action etc. We’re a small business and we’re doing our absolute best to help other small businesses (most often start up gyms) to grow and flourish. We have provided firms with free equipment to cash strapped start ups and we have offered military personnel discounts at their request, basically we try and help if we can. Yes we might miss a few emails here and there but give us a call or send us an sms and we’ll be with you by the end of the day. What we take issue with is this user who has their own small business and who has written fake reviews for that business trying to bully us into essentially giving them a full replacement unit when they have discarded all packaging which would have caused issues for our couriers and them being aggressive towards our team. Just be nice and give us a call, we're very approachable.
