water pump…

I purchased a whole house water pump which does not adequately pump water at a reasonable pressure. The max flow, suction and head are all plenty for the situation. I had emailed and spoken to a sales person a few weeks ago who was to follow up with the manufacturer as the psi information wasn't something they had been supplied. Since then I have emailed 4 further times including this morning. Another person has rung me back and mentioned the person I spoke with was away today. Mentioning that I had emailed a few other times he was unable to say why my emails that weren't followed up on. The pump has a variable shut off and can be adjusted, from the manufacturer this is set to 35psi. After asking if once the other sales member is back the manufacturers info would be followed up on he has said that the max psi is 35 (although it does go slightly higher). I was simply trying to figure out if the pump is faulty or if the psi (44) that I am getting is correct. I did ask to lay a complaint after saying that my emails were going unanswered, the person I was speaking to then asked what the complaint would be for. He argued and spoke over me to a point I had to hang up as he was not going to get the info I had requested. It's a shame because I have brought plenty from them in the past but never had to follow up with customer service who has let them down.

Misleading and Deceptive company that does not allow returns.

I purchased an engine based at the Christchurch store based upon the limited information on the website and some quick measurements on the display model in the store, but upon getting it home it did not fit.

I returned it the next week in pristine condition with all original packaging. The person inspected the engine, clicked in the computer for a few minutes, and then wandered off to chat with someone else for 5 minutes after which they informed me that it was a clearance item and could not be returned.

The engine was still for sale in the store, on their website, and there was no indication of it being a clearance item anywhere. Later I tried calling and talking with the manager, but he just stated that they "do not need to accept anything back".

There are other similar stories if you read reviews, so this is not an isolated event. Beware.

Tyler and Topmaq terrific

Tyler from Topmaq hunted me out parts for the gear they supplied uears afterwards when their supplier didn’t.
Really fantastic of him and Topmaq to go the extra mile. They sure didn’t make cash from it so
It was great service pure and simple. Thank you!

Customer service team

Customer service team, Tyler worked out what happened through great communication which led to a positive and speedy outcome.
This is not our first purchase but the first time we have had an issue.

We will continue to use TopmaQ as our preferred supplier.

I brought this chainsaw havik 72cc for Topmaq, could not get it started and took it back into the shop, the technician advised he would open up another brand newone and start it infront of me, after 9 pulls he advised that he couldn't get that one going either. Topmaq are still selling these supposed quality chainsaw on Trademe and they don't work. I asked for a full refund and have been waiting 3 weeks now and also getting no reply from Topmaq anymore.
After a month they tried to tell me that I didn't put oil in the petrol and have owned chainsaws for over 12 years on a lifestyle block and I also put 40:1 into oil as per specifications. No refund after showing me the bore completely scored with a big chunk taken out of it. Complete crap. Brought a 91.6cc chainsaw for Jono and Jono in Australia runs like a dream and my 12 year old chinese chainsaw still runs sweet. Don't deal with these guys especially Jeremy Grieve there so called general manager, RIP off artists!!!!!

Extremely poor customer service

I am extremely disappointed at the poor service from Christchurch Top maq store. We purchased a kit set shed, which was not cheap, some parts were faulty and broken. I have made numerous phone calls and sent several emails including photos of the faulty parts with assurances that someone would contact me to assist. I’m still waiting,,,,,,,, I will not be shopping with top maq again. The worst retail experience I have ever had.

Customer service for the win

Another purchase form Topmaq, but this one wasn't straight-forward.
Stock issue at the nearest branch meant inter-island despatch. This introduced a 3rd party delivery delay with a Track and Trace issue and then to top it off we had a user problem....
BUT, the Customer Service engagement through this process was outstanding. All the problems along the way were sorted in a timely and professional manner. Result, correct product delivered to the correct person and operating correctly.
Well done all round !

This Company sells the best gear

This Company sells the best gear at the cheapest prices. I have bought 2 lawnmowers and a leaf blower and they are the best (one bladed ones so you dont have to replace the little blades very time you hit something). i bought a second lawn mower just to keep in the box as the 1st one was so good. Topmaq is a Company i can rely on to buy again and know i will ghet the best and the best price. And my leaf blower arrived the next day, the excellent delivery time was a very nice surprise. Companies like this are a service to the community
