I ordered two DMC3 Dante, and a Nero first. The Dante came in defected and not being able to stand without flopping over every few seconds, the Nero's coat was flaking badly out of the box, but I didn't notice how badly it was until I tried displaying it with the DMC3 Dante. The customer service took 4 days to reply, not addressing the flaking of my Nero, then another 6 days to reply. It was flaking all over my hands and table from how bad it was. I asked for a replacement, but they told me to return it for fixing. So I asked if they covered shipping.
So I thought it was normal procedures for them to ship to them, for them to examine the products and return the replacements, and that they will cover everything. I asked for a final acknowledgment if they will cover shipping but they didn't reply, I was in a hurry to get things fixed, so I shipped it. Then I ask them for another response which they didn't reply again, now finally, I have lost all my patience after nearly two weeks of trying to get my defected products fixed. I filed a chargeback with Paypal and they finally replied.
I ordered from their main website of course. And these are the flaking and loose joints. Not to mention Dante's zipper felt apart when I try to tie together. This was a terrible experience considering that I spent two weeks trying to tide things over normally.
I know they have an account here, so I am really interested to find out what the rationale for all of this is. Why didn't they just send me a replacement? Why do I have to pay for my own shipping for their own defected items? Why is their customer service replying in such a vague way when I ask if they covered my shipping?
