I ordered a case from them on Dec 12. They charged my CC, but never shipped my order. They don't return phone calls or emails. Anyone else having problems with them?

I know they can't be a total scam, since all the youtube reviewers highly recommend them, but their customer service is just non-existent!

It is their customer support line, apparently. (Contact Us)

Haha. Have you ever tried calling their customer service line? You get a message saying that all their representatives are busy assisting other callers. You don't get the option to wait on hold until a representative becomes available. Instead, they direct you to leave a message or send them an email, both of which they will then ignore.

So frustrating!! My order was almost 80$, and I'm not just willing to let that go! Does anyone know what the procedure is for getting a refund through Paypal in these situations? (that's how I paid for the order)
 
Hey Dauer...

YEs....its me.

File a paypal complaint, and they should take care of the rest.


Take Care

Yup.....You call them to return something no one call you back.
 
I am also having a problem with MyGearStore. They have not sent me the item I ordered (via Amazon), they have not responded to my online inquiries, and in my opinion their customer service voice mail system is a joke.
 
I was going to order from them seeing how Carlos has had such good luck with them but after hearing this from another one of his loyal viewers I dont think I will be shopping there.

I think that's probably your best bet. They really need to get their sh&*t together, but for now, I would stay away. I do hope they do get their act together though, because their prices really are great, but I'm not holding my breath. They probably have such low prices because they are woefully understaffed, hence the crappy customer service.
 
meh, they offer pretty awesome prices and stuff. i ordered a couple of things during the holidays and i got it before christmas, so it was all gravey. its better than ordering stuff from scammers on ebay imo. paypal dispute my ass, still waiting for my chargeback....
 
Like any other company we of course make mistakes, and we are normal people with families, friends and lives. We are not perfect, so please do not think that we will be tomorrow. We apologize if there were any issues that have affected anybody on this forum. For what it is worth, our error rate is less that one percent of all orders. However, rightly so, those with problems tend to vocalize them, and we can understand their frustration.

We have representatives, albeit 2, by the phone and will call you back and email back if you email us. I sincerely apologize if there have been some emails or phone calls that were not returned. This is unacceptable and we are working on fixing any internal issues that may cause this. I can assure we do not intentionally try not communicating with our customers. We do have great prices and do have good service…99% of the time.

That's a pretty poor excuse, IMO. Just because you are normal people with families doesn't excuse you from having to provide adequate customer service and followup on your orders.

As for your having representatives - when someone calls in, and they are busy, there is no option to hold until they are available. The only option is to leave a message, which, guaranteed, won't be returned anyway. Do you really perceive no problem here at all with your customer service?
 
myGearStore.com now has an account on Twitter http://twitter.com/mygearstore, another step in improving our customer service accessibility. No excuses, we just listen, adjust, improve & grow!

Everyone can come up with their own definition of "adequate," but here we are responding to your concerns and making efforts to better ourselves. We never claimed to have "no problem here at all," nor does any other company. We are committed to bringing great prices and great customer experience, and we take customer feedback to heart.
 
my gear store

I too can not get my gear store to answer an email or phone call. I purchased my item thru Amazon. Has anyone been able to get in contact with them, if so how did you do it?
 
Amazon said send the item back without an RA#. Get proof of delivery and they'll take care of the rest. They back their company maybe mygearstore.com should too. I know no company is perfect but since my gears Jan response regarding their customer service I've tried to contact them 4 times. Still no response. I won't be ordering from them again I don't care how good their prices are.
 
I would suggest trying to contact them on Twitter, if you use it, although chances are - they will just get back to you with some annoying plattitude about how they are "striving to improve and grow" or some ******** like that.

Good luck.
 
Thank You!

MyGearStore.com ripped me off

I returned an unopened item with the proper RMA number received from MyGearStore.com 12/10/2009. I have been trying to get my refund ever since.(This is 2/28/2010.) They won't respond to my emails and don't answer their Customer Service line. I don't know what else to do except warn others not to use this company. I paid using PayPal, so after reading these posts, I will ask them for help with this.
 
OP- Did you ever get your order? I think it's freaking hilarious that they came on here to defend themselves, giving a load of bull***** basically, especially if you still haven't received your order! Thanks for the tip and will definitely not be buying anything from their site.
 
Wow I'm glad I saw this thread. I will without a doubt avoid this company. If their customer service is truly this poor then they will soon be out of business. Maybe the customer service supervisor should stop wasting his/her time posting unhelpful information on forums and work on supervising the customer service department.
 
I dont know what to believe at this point, i was going to place an order last week but held off with this recent rash of bad experiences.
 
I had the same issue with them a year ago, they did not reply to me until i sent them a threat email lol. Canceled my card so they cannot charge me again.
No matter what i would stay away from them, they have some kind of marketing they do on Youtube and people get lowered in that way..
 
I contacted MyGearStore last week about a molding issue I have with a Switcheasy iPhone 3G case I purchased from them. They still have not replied back to me. I would expect more prompt customer service from them. I will most likely never purchase anything else from them now. Guess I have to contact Switcheasy to get my issue resolved.
