Terrible customer service

Customer service doesn't get much worse. I have contacted them by email and phone four times now. I got one missed call, no message, and one email asking for a picture of the product defect 10 days after initial contact. I sent them the picture, no response. That was 7 days ago.

AquaCave is a Great Vendor!

The sump came incredibly well packed. There are a few scratches on the acrylic, which must have been there when they boxed it up but who cares.... it's a sump.
Overall, AquaCave was an excellent vendor to work with. The sump was shipped very quickly, double boxed and they provided excellent communication.

Excellent

Excellent. I broke the leveling screw on my Eshopps overflow and was happy to find that AquaCave carried replacements, Ordered the items and they were delivered before the expected delivery date.

USPS didn't delivered at my address

USPS didn't delivered at my address, I requested a reeliver to my front door and it was marked as failed, there were people waiting, without even try it. I needed to go to the post office to get it. Packaging was excellent, is working.

Terrible customer service!

My item which was purchased and given an average delivery of 5 days has been stuck “in transit” for 10 days. When I called to request a refund for what appears to be a lost package at this point, I was refused one AND the “supervisor” also refused to contact the post office stating they couldn’t file a claim. Odd, I called and that’s exactly what the PO told me to do. The icing on the cake was the “supervisor” telling me they would issue a refund once I returned the MISSING, LOST package! Seriously, the absolute worst customer service I have experienced during this pandemic. Would appear that they are just taking people’s money whether or not they can actually provide the item purchased. No words. Just thankful I spent under $100.

Quick ship! Good communication!

Quick ship! Haven't plugged it in yet, and there was stale water residue inside this "brand new" cooler. Makes me think I just paid full price for a used unit. I'll update this review once I have it running, but I would like to know why there was water inside this chiller.

Edit: They replied that it was factory tested, so 5 stars all around! Good company, great customer service!. Thanks!

Aaron,
Thank you for your review.
Please note that each chiller is factory tested so there might be residual water left in the cooling coil.
