Reading through all the complaints has left me with no choice but to agree with everyone else. If I had bothered to look up information about this "company" beforehand, I never would have sent my belo... See more

I only recently started looking into this company, and I think they're a bunch of crooks. I sent them a gimbal for repair, and they quoted me an exorbitant price. I refused the repair, but I wanted it... See more

I wish I’d read these reviews prior to sending my router to them for a quote. Most of the replies from them AI generated and complete BS. Do some research. They are involved in many lawsuits, especial... See more

I was looking to get my current osmometer repaired, which they were not able to do. I ended up chatting with Luisa who helped me upgrade my osmometer to a better model instead. I am now thinking about upgrading more of my equipment with Acme's refurb'ed units.

If I could give negative stars I would

If I could give negative stars I would. Paid for a $3000 sterilizer on Sept 22. Got confirmation email that it was in the queue to be shipped out and I would get it between September 28 and October7. Heard nothing from them despite 8 emails. Now it’s October 12 and just got email that my order is cancelled. Now it’s put my clinic behind three weeks and there is no sterilizer coming. Thanks a lot Acme. I wouldn’t trust them with a litter box.

In expanding to a secondary location we decided to go entirely online and purchase used to ease budgets. Before I go into some of the things I didn't like about acme, everything arrived on-time and in very good to great condition. From the other vendors we used, they are much more streamlined and reliable. That being said, there are a few things that would have made our experience better. Firstly, when buying multiple quantities on the website, it would send the price up-- and if we needed to purchase additional units in the following week, we would have to typically pay the increased price. Second, I would have preferred to have been able to talk with a person on the phone quicker than a 10 minute hold time. YES- they're chat is helpful and quick, however it's just not my style. Finally, keep in mind that there is no install option or training service. Once arrived, it was all up to us to get it running- which was fine, but different from what we were used to with others.

Horrible Experience with this company

Horrible Experience with this company. Placed an order, it delivered 15+ days after the estimated delivery date to be the wrong product (and was also missing key components for functionality… i.e. CORDS). Spoke with a technician after days of back and fourth chats, as that seems to be the only way to communicate with them. The tech provided specific instruction on how to return the device and how he would ensure the correct machine was sent to us. The return shipment was delayed as they failed to clear it through customs and then next thing you know, we get a refund and they refuse to send the proper item, so after 45+ days we had to order a device elsewhere. Best part, their lawyer threatens us that if we post any negative comments they will sue us. Guess their lawyer is unaware in our country we have this thing called the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, that allow us to exercise free speech as long as the information is accurate… well this is an accurate review. So I would strongly advise “BUYER BEWARE”. Can you imagine if we needed warranty service or something… Very untrustworthy company, and still dont even know who a manager or owner is as they refuse to communicate with you. Good luck to anyone who purchases from this company. (Now I’m sure ill get sued by them for this statement… bring it on)

Reply to Acme- don’t you worry we won’t deal with a company like yours again!

John-
From all of us here at Acme Revival, we want to sincerely apologize for the experience you've had with us. We pride ourselves in delivering items as described, and supporting our customers with fairness.

Certain variations of devices include specific accessories relevant to that specific unit's capabilities.

We found the best course of action here to refund your entire purchase, including complimentary shipping both ways- and do request you seek a different supplier for your future device requirements.

I needed a very specific part for a pump that I couldn't find anywhere else. Contacting Acme they told me that wasn't something they did, however when my account manager (from a year ago) that handled a previous purchase of a different device went in the back and found it they overnighted it to me--for FREE!! Would have had to throw it away otherwise.

Product arrived extremely late )like first week of January).
No instruction manual-had to go online to print it.
Parts were scattered in container and not as shown in assembly/user instructions
No stamp or certification of the battery even as used. Not installed or rechargable (as advertised) so how do I know how long it will last? No maintenance booklet.
Not a single piece of paper or certification in it.

ACME never keep promise onto sending out items on time. We have told we need to meet deadline when ship. No one contact us regarding it and we have requested serval times for our item to be ship in a different method, and our request is being ignored. Will not buy from ACME ever again. Bad experience!

Hi Omic,
We're sorry to hear you're unsatisfied with the time its taken for your device to arrive. We take our delivery dates seriously, and work around the clock to ensure we attempt to meet these deadlines and communicate the latest information to our customers. Recently, we’ve seen record device demand, COVID-19 supply chain interruptions, and winter weather events delaying deliveries.

I do show your order (per your details) has already shipped, however any order can be cancelled prior to shipping for a full refund. Should you require further assistance, please contact the Help Desk and we'll jump into action!
