    was disappointed with the last 4 gig USB deal. the picture was lexar and i thought it is a lexar.
    End up it's a 4 GB toshiba that i could get it from Harvey norman for 2 dollars (lowest was 1 dollar)
    and the quality is crap…..

  • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2013 - 14:13

    Tbh..

    I have tried 2 USB3 flash drives from this company over the past few months are both have died, not physical damage but just stop working or unable to mount the memory.

    I avoid this place at all costs, they don't reply to their emails about replacements or seem to care about their customers. I expect negs for this but honestly this is my experience with this company and I feel that I'm in my right to do this.

    • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 23/08/2013 - 14:28
      +1

      The reality is that drives do fail, we always replace them as quickly as possible. Over the past few months we have been migrating to a new platform and at times we have probably exceeded our replacement time frames. We do have to prioritize a little bit as well, if someone has a fault USB drive we almost always tell them straight away to return it and we will send a replacement. Sometime we just send a replacement out with a return envelope if it is urgent. For most people a fault USB key is not hugely urgent so it may take a few days longer for us to resolve than say a faulty ultrabook. At the same time if anyone ever says I need this replaced asap we will always do our best to get it resolved as quickly as possible.

      So just for the record, how long did it take for us to replace your two faulty drives? And are the replacements still working?

      • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2013 - 14:43
        +4

        You never replaced them nor replied to your emails.

        You you need to consider all customers the same, not just the ones who make you the most money IMHO. If you had bothered to reply and sort out these issues I would of maybe considered buying something more expensive. I wasn't the only one having this issue, in one of your last posts on here there was a number of people complaining.

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 23/08/2013 - 16:05

          Can you send us your email and order number, because we absolutely would never not respond to a customer. I originally assumed your complaint was that we had not responded fast enough, which as I said was definitely possible during our transition period.

          I cannot think of a single customer ever who has not been refunded or had their item replaced, so this would be a very unusual situation.

          With regard to treating all customers equally, it has nothing to do with how much money we make on a sale, it has to do with how urgently the customer needs the item replaced. As I said in my original reply if someone needed a $3 USB key replaced urgently we would and have many times sent it out express to solve the issue for them, most customers with faulty computers need a replacement asap, most customers with a faulty USB key don't that was my point.

          I am not saying we have not received his emails requesting a replacement, but I am saying that I cannot think of a single example out of tens of thousands of sales where we have not replaced or refunded a faulty product for a customer. As soon as we get the order number or email I will verify if we have been contacted, if somehow we missed his multiple emails which seems unlikely then we will apologize and fix the problem.

          I think you are upset because you got negged for trolling which is pretty much your MO if anyone bothers to look at your previous comments (not even the ones directed at us).

          At no point did we ever say our systems were perfect, but seriously if this was some sort of systematic issue don't you think we would have hundreds of people on here complaining about not being served properly?

          Just as an example we have sold over 1000 USB keys already in this sale, I would guess roughly 25 of them will be faulty in the next month or so. If we just didn't respond to all of those customers what do you think would happen in the next deal?

          Righto.

          My orders were some 6 months ago, I've bought new flash drives elsewhere and am very happy. But not happy with my experience with your company, although I don't like slandering a company but people need to be warned.

          "I think you are upset because you got negged for trolling which is pretty much your MO if anyone bothers to look at your previous comments (not even the ones directed at us)."

        @pmupsinep

        You obviously have an axe to grind for whatever reason.

        All I can really say is that we do our best to maintain an extremely high standard of customer service. If your argument is that we have had some customers with poor experiences therefore you should avoid ever purchasing anything from us well that it clearly a ridiculous argument.

        It is impossible for any business to have a perfect record of customer service, we do make mistakes, we have an extremely high volume of emails and support requests every day, the vast majority of which get dealt with quickly and efficiently. Do some slip through the cracks of course they do, but again these are the exception not the rule. And when we do make a mistake we always try to make it up to the customer, because we genuinely care about our customers and the service we give them.

        Obviously I am extremely concerned about these customers who have said they have had no response to multiple emails because we have systems in place to make sure that does not happen, so if they are breaking down we will need to address that.

    I used to be a fan of these guys. However, my recent experiences have not been great in regard to shipping time of music gear. My last 4 orders all took ******MUCH****** longer than their quoted ETA to ship. I wouldn't recommend buying music gear from these guys.

    Here's an example…

    2/7 - Ordered 6 packs of guitar strings. Web site quoted 'Estimated delivery time 4 - 5 business days' at the time.
    12/7 - No guitar strings. No updates.
    19/7 - Nothing.
    28/7 - Still nothing. Logged in to my account and found a tracking number thingy ('Tracking Number to Australia'). Web site has no info on what to do with the tracking info. Attempted to look up the number via austpost and got "no events currently found".
    29/7 - Emailed sales for assistance. Response was '(the strings) were incorrectly listed as in stock when they needed to be special ordered.'
    5/8 - Guitars strings arrived. Delivery took a little over 5 weeks (or 26 business days to be exact).

    My problems:

    5 weeks to ship 6 packs of standard gauge guitar strings is disappointing. Specifically, the strings are Ernie Ball Super Slinky 9-42 sets - stuff common enough you would not expect to have to be special ordered.
    Total lack of updates/comms.
    ETA given on website cannot be taken seriously.
    Tracking info given in 'my account' is useless.

      Definitely apologize for the delay with your order, those strings were incorrectly listed as in stock. We actually had stock when they were listed in that OZB deal but when they sold out it did not switch automatically to special order. We placed an order as soon as we realized the error, but unfortunately it had been about a week.

      We do carry all of the D'Addario strings in stock locally so they are all shipped out and delivered with 2-3 days of order. We are working on expanding the range of strings that we carry locally, but with 1200+ skus in strings alone it is not possible to have everything in stock all the time.

      With regard to general delays, speeding up delivery times is something that we are constantly working on, the new delivery notification system should allow you to track the order as it progresses, unfortunately in this case because the order was not allocated correctly and they had to be manually ordered that system didn't work as well as it should have.

      • yjm on 23/08/2013 - 18:52

        "We placed an order as soon as we realized the error."

        If that was really the case, I had received no communications whatsoever. I suspect I'd probably be still waiting today, had I not contacted you for an update.

        As pointed out, 4 out of 4 of my recent purchases took significantly longer to ship than the quoted ETA. e.g. 26 business days (5 weeks+) vs 4 - 5 business days (1 week). Or 5 times the ETA.

        The lack of comms was also frustrating.

        Thanks for the response, though. Have a good weekend.

          I can promise you that you definitely would not still be waiting, we run reports on outstanding orders on a weekly basis now to catch any errors like this. Again all we can do is apologize for the poor service and tell you that we are genuinely working on improving our systems, many of these improvements have been implemented since your last order. It is not perfect, but we are definitely working to improve our overall customer service.

          I ordered some strings during the recent string sale and they took longer than expected, about 2 weeks or so. They were EB reg slinky which I noticed were marked out of stock soon after I purchased. I didn't get any notification either, but for the price I was still happy with the purchase.
          I also purchased (in separate orders) a Gibson Les Paul which arrived exactly 15 days as quoted with all tracking details along the way, and a Boss RC3, which arrived in 3-4 days, so overall I have still find FS to be good. Must be something about strings…

    I bought a laptop from Flingshot last week as they are one of the few online stores to accept Paypal without a surcharge; would have saved $100+ with this coupon. I was concerned because nothing happened to my order for a few days, even though laptop was "available" on their website. I contacted them, and they reassured me it would arrive within the ETA. Sure enough, they posted it by express service, and even threw in a 8GB RAM upgrade, instead of the advertised 4GB RAM. I don't think their operations are as 100% polished as they would themselves hope, but they are going in the right direction for an online store.
