It is very apparent to me that Jason at Electronicstix.com has let his customer service drop to the floor.

I ordered 4 bottles of Rath Caramel e-juice, 3 302 atomizers, a 510 to 901 adapter, and a 510 to 801 adapter.

I place the order on 4/14 @ 9:14 am, I get a notice that it shipped 4/15 at 9:54 am… Weird, perhaps I have been spoiled by all the other venders that ship same day if you order before 3, Oh wait they are businesses…

So I get my order on 4/17 and come to find out that Mr. Jason forgot to include the 510 to 901 adapter, and the 510 to 801 adapter that I ordered… Odd considering that was over 10 bucks of the order.

So I text him, I had his number in my phone from where he called me in the past, he tells me that there is nothing that he can do, and to email him because he forgets sometimes… this is very apparent at this time, mind you that it is Friday, I know that I am not going to see the adapter till sometime next week.

Ok… tell my GF that her adapter did not come, it will be about another week till you get it… she is not happy, but what can I do? I am at the mercy of the Jason at this point… Forgetful Jason.

So I get a shipping notification Monday the 19th and then receive the package on Tuesday the 20th, and the 510 to 801 adapter is broken, the silicone insulator is damaged and the 510 side of the adaptor has the center post touching the outer edge, had I plugged this in to any of my batteries it would have shorted the moment I used the device!

I take a picture, email it to Jason, and tell him I do not want to go through the expense of shipping back a defective adaptor that he sent out without even checking it!

He emails me and says if I ship it back he will send a replacement.

So now I have been waiting 6 days for a 510 to 801 adaptor, Jason has “forgot” to ship part of my order, and now I have to spend more of my money to replace something that should have been checked in the first place, as well as I can get for half the cost on many other ECF vendor sites.

Not only that, he is suggesting to me that I try to repair it… I am pretty handy but I am not going to try to repair a silicon sleeve on a battery adaptor, either it is molded and assembled right or it is not.

So if Jason is unwilling to take care of an issue on such a minuscule item, especially where he screwed it up twice, I will not ever do business with him again, and neither will the group of friends I have converted to vaping.

I would rather deal with vendors that are actual businesses, people that understand what customer service is, and I know there are people out there that probably love Electronicstix, and I did too till this happened.

I just think it is pathetic when a vendor refuses to fix mistakes that are due to their error, or due to their inability to inspect their stock for quality and or obvious defects, this issue was pretty obvious.

I am just putting this out there for others that may deal with Jason and Electronicstix, perhaps if you continue to order from him, you can place in the notes to please inspect your order to make sure it is in good working order, and to please include all items in one shipment if possible.

Sounds pretty FUBAR to me! Sorry you had a bad experience. I'm sorry x2 that it's your girl's stuff that they messed up on. I know how that can go. lol I'm sure you can find better vendors that carry the items you use. I'd suggest my vendor but they only stock 510 stuff....which is fine for me cuz that's what I use.

Well, I have found other places to purchase, and I already ordered a replacement from Mad Vapes, it was about half of what Electronicstix charges for the same thing. along with that 5v USB pass-through I have been looking at and a few other things.

I just do not think that he realizes how much business he looks to lose by not rectifying the situation.

I have at least 9 co-workers that will not be ordering from him now and all of their friends and family members that they have turned them on to them.

I have fully apprised them of how I was treated, and given them the names and website addresses of other registered ECF suppliers, I know it is at least 25+ people.

If you figure most of these people will purchase starter kits to replace the ones that they have as they go out, plus juice, plus other supplies the amount Electronicstix (Jason) will lose due to not rectifying a situation that is his fault is a pretty decent amount, that is $1,250.00 in just replacement kit's alone.

Sounds like it is totally worth saving the shipping and part cost of fixing a mistake he made.

I purchased from him cause I wanted to support a local business, but now I could care less, I have gotten significantly better customer service from the other ECF suppliers.

At this point I am willing to wait a bit longer to get anything I need, just so I do not have to deal with him.

Does anyone know where I can get ahold of 24mg Rath Caramel E-Juice?

Okay, not trying to be a jerk or anything... but if you purchased something from Walmart and it was defective, would you go back in without the item and expect a replacement??? An adapter really is a tiny item, I'm sure it wouldn't cost more than a stamp to mail it back. If you need one, I'll give ya fifty cents to buy one.

Actually, Jason is an amazing supplier and has GIVEN me free adapters with my orders. I'm sure he is really not going to intentionally try to lose a customer over an adapter.

and the reason im so forgetful lately is im moving.. i ask people to always e-mail me with the issues so i can print them out and go over them the next morning.. its not normally too much to ask.. i dont sit at my desk all day writing everything down.. its just not possible. i didnt mean to come across as a jerk.. but i lose twice the amount of money as i ship everything priority.. if you want an adapter put in an envelope that might get lost because of the sorting machines.. happy to send you another one.. and even so it only takes 1 day to get from me to you.. you are in the same state.. im not going to lose any sleep over this if you are unhappy you will be unhappy.. nothing i can do to change that. but i have fixed many adapters by just shifting the middle piece and im sorry but no i cant take every kit apart and test every little piece etc before it goes out or it would take 10 x as long to get orders out the door.

Making negative comments about the OP is not exactly the best way to represent a company that you are a fan of. He has legitimate concerns and should not be put down for relating his experience. I have been dealing with customers in one way or another for much of the last 25 years. The customer is always right. Now don't get me wrong we are all allowed to make mistakes but it's how we take care of the errors that counts the most. The fact that he has gone out of his way for some customers and not others doesn't help either.

I have had customres who were flat out scam artists and for those people the best you can do is run them off as a customer. However, this is not a scam this is a customer who has been in good standing that has paid for thier orders and is only trying to get what they paid for without having to pay extra.

If I were Jason I would send out the part even now and some extras, he might still be able to turn a bad situation to his advantage. If nothing else he will know that he did the right thing by not leaving a customer hanging.

In the past I forgot part of an order and when it was explained to me why they needed it now not in a week I overnighted it at my cost even though it left me loosing money on the entire order. This person still didn't order again, but I did the right thing and that was good enough for me.

no there was no communication break down.. This is what i got from him when i asked him to ship the faulty part back which would have taken 1 day to get to me.. we are in the same state.. and cost .44 through the mail.

e-mail removed but i tried to prove my point...

Either way i sent his stuff and from his comments earlier sent a bottle of caramel and if he wants to use me in the future.. he will.. and if not.. oh well. but it is my STANDARD policy to have any defective part shipped back. plain and simple.

Once again, Jason proves he is a stand up guy.

I guess my earlier comments should have included that I was privy to the emails he had sent. Having been in business myself, I don't take kindly to customers trying to bully suppliers or any business for that matter in to getting their way. Jason has his return policy on his site, the customer agreed to the terms when he set up an account with Jason.

I fully understand why you would want anything defective shipped back. It stops a lot of scam artists from taking you for a ride. However, on a part this cheap and considering he is a repeat customer. I would have said I was sorry and that it will be out as soon as I can. Sending out his orders is the right thing to do and hopefully he will follow up and thank you for doing the right thing. I will check out your site and keep you in mind for future business.

Just remember that as you are moving and that is an issue, it's also a big deal for some people who are vaping. It can get nerve racking if you are worried about the possibility that you might have to revert to smoking because your PV is not doing it for you. Us ex-smokers have a tendency for anxiety.

For the people who suggested that he drive up and pick up the part, Come on why should the person who paid for the part and is in no way to fault have to make the drive. If it's that close and it's no big deal than the person who made the mistake should be the one taking a drive.

Well good luck to everyone.

Did you really just post his email? 8-o

*Takes electronicstix off suppliers list*

:sleep:

You might want to delete the e-mail part from your post as well. If I were the OP I wouldn't want it left up. What is said in anger in a private e-mail shouldn't be posted by anyone. And good job pointing that out in the first place.
