I ordered my water proof baerskin…

I ordered my water proof baerskin product Oct 5th. I want to know why it's taking so long. Is this a scam? That hoodie was 100.00. What the heck!. No reason for it to take so long other than you guys trying to screw me over.

Hubby loved his gift.

Bought one for hubs for Christmas 2021. Arrived in good time. He loves it and wears it all the time. Bought a second one for the RV to make life easier. Love the quality. Thinking of getting one for myself now that they have ladies versions.

Hello Lisa,

Thank you so much for taking a few moments to share your experience with us!

We are very happy to hear that your husband is enjoying the quality of his new hoodie because our goal was to meet the demands of our customers for durability and resistance to various conditions over a long period of time.

It's a fleece hoodie, great for outdoors as it provides effective protection from wind - full-length storm flap, elastic waist & velcro cuff, wind-blocking elastic hood with bungee cord, extended back length - this all provides an extra dose of warmth.

We are also pleased to hear that this is your second purchase and that you are thinking about getting the women's hoodie for yourself. That tells us that you gained the trust in our brand, and for us, there is no better motivation to keep on doing our business in the same manner.

Thanks for shopping with us! We hope to see you again soon in our online store.

All the best,

David

Not the quality they claim

Not the quality they claim. Obviously Chinese knock offs. Zipper is even on the wrong side for men’s jackets. Never going to get scammed again.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.

I am sad to learn our product failed to meet your expectations. That is definitely not something we love to hear. Although reading criticisms about our Baerskin hoodie is hard for us, we understand that they may not be the best choice for everyone. I will forward your comments to the Product development team, so they can consider your feedback as our company is always working on improving our product.

Regarding the positioning of the zipper on our Baerskin Hoodie, we can confirm that this is, in fact, an intended feature of our product. This particularity occurred simply because our hoodie was designed in Europe. The positioning of the zipper on the left side is a marker of all European men's clothing designs.

If there is anything else I can do for you, do not hesitate to send an email to stephanie@baerskinhoodie.com.

Thank you for your understanding!

Best,
David

Not worth $99

Not worth $99. Fabric too thin. If I knew it was being shipped from China I would not have ordered. Returns are useless. Only an idiot puts a zipper on the left side of men's clothing. Tracking for this package was useless as well as the customer service. Carhart makes a much heavier hoodie minus the many pockets.

Hi John,

Thank you for taking a few minutes to write your thoughts here!

We are truly sorry to hear that you had a less than satisfactory overall experience with our company. We understand that our product did not meet your expectations, and you were not pleased with our Customer Service, the shipping time, and the positioning of the zipper.

We would like to clarify that we have warehouses all around the world, and we always try to send the products from the warehouse located nearest to the you.

Regarding our shipping time, admittedly, we have been ill-prepared for dealing with the rise in demand for our product. As a result, we have encountered quite a few challenges when it comes to shipping orders in a timely manner. We have already made upgrades to our shipping department, so we expect things to improve soon.

As for the positioning of the zipper, we would like to inform you that our product was designed in Europe, where zippers are usually placed on the left side. That's why it might seem a bit unusual. However, rest assured that this is not an indication of a defect, or that our product is made for women.

If you ever need assistance with returning your product, kindly write me an email at david@trueswat.com, and I will gladly walk you through the process myself.

Best,
David

Hi John,

Thank you for taking a few moments to share your review here!

We understand that you have recently ordered a jacket from us and that the amount was already deducted from your account - and yet, as of posting here, you still have not received an update about your order. We are sorry to hear that!

We have had similar cases from other customers, and it seems that our emails sometimes go to the Spam inbox. Kindly check yours - and if you still don't see a confirmation email there, please email me directly at david@trueswat.com so I can look into this myself and assist you further.

Bought a lumberjacket that took a few…

Bought a lumberjacket that took a few weeks to arrive and came as ugly as can be so I reached out about a return. They responded quickly about a return with a form for me to fill out. Their quick response to it gave me faith, I paid $18 for return shipping and my tracking states that it was handed directly to a person just a few days later. This company is such a joke, they won't respond now and there's no refund money to be found. It has been 3 months since tracking shows my return was handed to someone. I've never been so angry to be duped by a "company". Stay away!!!

Hi Kailee,

Thank you for taking a few minutes to share your thoughts with us!

We understand that our SWAT Lumberjacket did not meet your expectations, so you ended up returning it. However, as of writing here, you still haven't received your refund even though the product was returned a few months ago. We are sorry to hear that!

We are simplifying our Customer Support procedures and hiring more agents so we can accommodate our customers' concerns more promptly.

As for your refund, we have recently sent you an email with an update on its status. Kindly check your inbox.

Again, we apologize for all the trouble!

Do not use them at all

Do not use them at all. They source everything from China. Blows my mind with what all is going in this country and that outsource from them. Absolutely disgrace. I haven’t even received my package and I’ve already sent them email that I will be sending in my package and wanting a full refund.

Hello there,

Thank you for taking some time to leave your review here!

We understand that you were not pleased to know about where our products come from, and we are sorry to hear that.

Indeed, our products are designed in Europe and manufactured in China. This is a business approach we came up with in order to ensure the quality of our products.

We would like to assure you that we only collaborate with businesses that understand our commitment to quality and share similar values. That's why we always perform a thorough background check on any potential partners.

We also believe that we have the moral obligation to ensure that any prospective partner of ours meets all acceptable safety manufacturing standards and complies with good ethical practices. Human rights is an integral part of this and that means child labor and other issues that violate the rights of any human being is not present.

We hope that this somehow eases your worries, but should you decide that you still want to return your product after receiving it, please get in touch with me directly at david@truesswat.com. I will be glad to assist you with the return process myself.

Best,
David

Absolutely disgraceful that in an era…

Absolutely disgraceful that in an era of click and ship this company hasn’t figured it out. Jokes on me I fell for the cool ads and marketing. Ordered a hoody, didn’t arrive, contacted customer service, got the standard answer they give everyone regarding their “overwhelmed” and “underprepared” processes. Mysteriously I was given a bootleg tracking number showing y hoody shipped on the same day as my inquiry. It has yet to arrive. Absolutely abysmal shipping and the excuses are even worse. Absolutely will go out of my way to shout from the roof tops that you’d be better off and warmer by burning your money than ordering from this company.

Hi Steven,

Thank you for taking a few minutes to write a review here!

It seems that the long shipping time has caused your frustration towards our company, and when you tried contacting our Customer Support team to follow up on the status of your order, you were not sastisfied by our response. We are very sorry to hear that!

We would like to clarify that we have publicly stated in our website that our usual delivery timeframe is 10-14 days. Upon checking, I can see here that your order was delivered a day late.

We do our best to ship orders in a timely manner, but sometimes, there are circumstances that are out of our control and might cause slight delays in shipping. Rest assured that we are already making some upgrades to our shipping department so we can avoid issues like this moving forward.

We hope that you are satisfied with your Baerskin Hoodie. If you ever have further concerns or require assistance, you may reach out to me directly at david@trueswat.com, and I will gladly help you.

Dear Stacie,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us!

I'm so glad to hear you love our BÆRSkin Tactical Hoodie and that you find it the warmest jacket ever! That makes us really happy, as it is always nice to hear positive feedback from customers like yourself.

On the other hand, we highly value your feedback regarding our BÆRSkin Tactical Hoodie and the elastic pull strings on it. I will make sure to notify our Product Development Team about the sturdiness, as they work really hard when it comes to our products, so we can achieve the ultimate customer satisfaction.

But, rest assured, we have a manufacturer's guarantee that applies to all of our products. In order for you to benefit from this guarantee, all you need to do is send a photo/video that shows the damage in your product at david@trueswat.com, I'll be more than happy to help.

Your purchase is highly appreciated and we hope to see you back at our online store soon!

Best,
David

Paid for items but never received them

What can I say about this company. I know….. spend your money else where. Ordered items 8 weeks ago and still have not received them. Reached out to customer service numerous times and got a generic response sorry for the delay yada yada yada.we will refer this to our fulfillment team(B.S entity).
They will not give me any shipment updates or order status only “your order has been received. This company is far from legit. If you are looking to donate money this is the company for you if you are looking to buy products I would strongly advise against doing business with this company.

I placed order on the 6th of February…

I placed order on the 6th of February heard nothing from anyone until I called in on the 14th of February. I was told that the item should be coming out to me soon? On the 16th of February was provided a tracking number that wasn't in the system and further told me that it would be delivered in 10-14 days.

So more than three weeks to get an item.

Not sure that is acceptable as I am unsure if it will fit and what the quality of it will be. Not a great first experience will not be purchasing from this compant again. You have only one time to make a good first experience and you have blown it before the product has arrived.

I hope you will receive your order soon. Please feel free to get back to me once you receive it, as I would like to learn about your experience with the hoodie. In case you need any further assistance, kindly contact me directly at stephanie@baerskinhoodie.com

Worth the Wait

I ordered two hoodies for my nephews this past Christmas. They arrived a week after Christmas. When I did receive tracking information, I was able to track my package through the specified carrier's website. Once it transferred to a US carrier, I was advised of the new tracking information. My nephews (ages 35 and 40, athletic and active) love the hoodies. TrueSWAT, put a disclaimer on your website "We may be as slow as cold molasses, but our products are worth the wait!"...something like that. :-) I just ordered a pants/shorts combo for one of the nephews birthday! I don't think they'll be here by March 5th so I'll give him a photo!

Hi Rubley,

We are pleased to hear that you were satisfied with the Baerskin Hoodies you ordered for your nephews! However, we understand that it took quite a long time before you received your order.

We must admit that we have been severely underprepared for the sudden increase in demand for our products. Therefore, there were slight delays in the processing and shipping of some orders in the past months. We have made some upgrades to our shipping department, and we expect things to improve soon.

We are thrilled to know that you ordered from us once again. We do hope that your nephew receives your birthday gift to them in time now.

Thank you for your support of our products! We hope to see you at our store more often.

THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. Well, nothing has gone right. I ordered two hoodies, one in XL and one in XXL. Both were delivered, it took over 4 weeks. Neither fit so I tried for 3 weeks to have someone tell me how and where to return the items. I finally receiver my first email 4 weeks after I tried contacting customer service. They sent me what I needed to do, and I packed everything up and returned the items through UPS. it's now been 2 1/2 months with no refund and now they're telling me they never received the package. UPS confirms package was received and signed for. So, I'm out 170.00 DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY

Good Hoodie but pricey

I'm happy with the hoodie. The item came from China, so delivery took some time. The item itself was not as heavy as I thought it would be but I think it will still be warm and serve me well. Appears to be one layer of fleece. The real issue for me is that the zipper pull is on the left side. So maybe this is why the 60% discount. But even with the discount, I think it's still a bit pricey for what the item actually is. I do hope it lasts as I expect it to.

We are glad to hear that you are happy with your Baerskin Hoodie! However, we understand that it took quite some time before you received your order.

Shipping time has indeed been one of our main weaknesses in the past year. Fortunately, we have found alternative transportation solutions, so we expect things to improve soon.

Regarding the zipper on the left side, we would like to assure you that this is an intended feature of our product. Our hoodie was designed in Europe, where zipper are usually positioned on that side. That's why it might seem a bit unusual.

Customer service unresponsive

I am having the same trouble as others regarding this company not responding to requests for exchanging items for different sizes. I emailed them repeatedly at the email provided on their website multiple times without getting a response. The product seems to be of good quality, so I have no complaints with the items themselves.
