Poor customer service

Poor customer service. The returns department especially bad. I’ve had to send them a photo of the item and packing slip twice that they requested. Shouldn’t they have that information in their system? The original order was for 8 smoke alarms and they only sent one (1). I have yet to see a refund for over $600.00 for the original 8.

Items were delivered

Items were delivered. Fire alarm connectors were different than those installed. Would have been good if item pictures showed the connection type. Service was good.

They shipped a product that I did not…

They shipped a product that I did not order. I returned it however they deducted the shipping cost both ways on the item, so I was out $32.00 for their error. (they advertised the correct item, but they switched it, a bait and switch tactic). I will never do business with this company again. I was able to purchase the correct item from another seller.

They're awful in every way

They're awful in every way. Awful communication and awful product delivery. Product took months to deliver. Some products delivered in make shift non-OEM boxes. Some products looked used and not new. Some products were faulty. I have fatigue from dealing with them/
Prices were good-however you get what you pay for.

Purchased three Kiddie smoke detectors…

Purchased three Kiddie smoke detectors with a 10 year lithium battery. When I opened the boxes all three batteries had been previously activated. No idea how long they were in stock with the batteries energized. Called and e-mailed requesting an exchange. Their response was to call Kidde with any Technical problems!!!!! I did not buy the detectors form Kidde I purchased them through ElectricBargainStores. NO help whatsoever. I would never buy another product from this company. Non reputable for sure!!!!

False advertising. Bait & switch tactics.

False advertising. Lists products on website that are not in stock (and discontinued) — no indication that that was the case. Their website prompted me to enter my charge card info, so I did. The order did not process so I called them (1/9/24). Employee said website would be updated immediately. Just checked, and it is still not updated. Another employee emailed me to suggest I buy a slightly different product. Looks like “bait and switch”.

I ordered 2pk switches from this site

I ordered 2pk switches from this site. It was backordered. Okay fine. One month later, I get an email asking if I've received the order. If I have, then rate them. If I haven't, contact them or cancel the order. Well I contact them and some lady says she'll forward my info over and someone will contact me. I ask how long this will take. She doesn't know. I ask if there's a direct line to call them. She says no. Then she tells me to have a good day and hangs up. And we wonder why small biz sites like these die and business goes to Amazon! Just shameful.
