I order a replacement armrest

I order a replacement armrest, but order the incorrect one, despite following all of their website instructions. Anyway its taken over 25 emails to get it sorted. The first 10 were them asking for photos and I had to follow their form filling procedures, the next 10 were how to return (at my cost) and the next 5 were waiting for a discount code to by the right product. So basically I've paid $25 in shipping for a $25 dollar product and I'm now paying $17 for the replacement and another $12 shipping. Its insane. I don't know where in the world their customer services are based, but its honestly the worst I've ever experienced, not withstanding that this company is marketing its self as a highly branded customer service focused business.

Update -

Its now 29 emails to your "customer" services team. You claim that I ordered the wrong product and therefore its all my fault. I have just emailed the order confirmation email and a photo of the correct product on your website. They are the same. So I'm now actually up to 29 emails because you guys are arguing a $25 armrest replacement. What happens when there is a problem with an $800 chair - do you just argue that you guys are right all the time and the customer is stuck with no options. Seriously do you know how much time I've wasted and your support team have wasted for $25 by justifying your position? If you replaced without charging me all the shipping charges then we wouldn't be having this issue and I'm 75km from your Auckland warehouse!!

Hi Julian, thank you for providing us with your information and we’re sorry to hear how frustrating this experience has been. We ran a check and understand that our support specialist has last dropped you a reply on 13 May.

Looking into your case, we'd hope to share that before checkout, the product selected is shown several times, in the cart and during the checkout flow so customers can do a final review before placing their order. An order confirmation email with the purchased item details is also automatically sent before the order is shipped, allowing another chance to double check that the correct replacement part was selected.

That said, we completely understand your disappointment with the return shipping costs and the time taken to resolve this. We truly appreciate your patience throughout the process, and your feedback about the overall support experience has been shared with the relevant team for review.

Should you require further assistance, please feel free to let our support specialist know and they will be more than happy to help.

Top Tier

Secret Lab products and service have always been top tier. Clearly there's a book on how to empasize quality on all fronts, and they might have wrote it.

I purchased a chair from them years ago and it's still just as functional as the day I got it, I will never need another chair. Though I wish the skins they offer were a little more affordable, I would totally get another one if I could justify the price.

This time around I got their Magnus XL desk, and the built in cord managment tray is a dream. Adding the PC mount and ethernet extender was a sinch. I will be very eager to purchase a mountable taptop dock or something if they ever come out with something of that nature. I run a work laptop and a leisure PC and would love a way to hide the laptop a bit better.

Out of warranty, yet SecretLab fixed it

I contacted SecretLab support with a problem of my own making. Despite this and with the chair out of warranty, SecretLab sent me a new, replacement seat unit to fix the problem. They did this free of charge.

This was outstand service, above and beyond expectations. Thank you very much.

Excellent customer service

I had an issue with a chair I ordered. The support team answered the support ticket within 1 day and had a replacement part shipped very quickly. I'm extremely happy with the support provided by Secretlab, and with the quality of their products.

Amazing Service!

Incredibly friendly service from support members that know their product and listings.

They helped me find old inventory of a sku that was no longer listed on the website that should not have any continued support from 2020.

They got me a custom purchase order for it, and shipped it out very quickly.

I can keep using the chair I bought 6 years ago comfortably and reliably!

A big thank you to Heather, Lou, Vince, and Cassie!

Great experience

Arrived in a timely manner, I had a preorder but the timing was as expected, 4-7 days aftee it was sent as per norm. I had a cover broken and had to contact support but i had no issues to recieve the replacement piece and it was easy to follow instructions to speak to customer care.

The chair is comfy and really customizable, I would urge people to try them at cons if they can but I am very happy with my purchase. Had leg and back pains that lessened.

Issue with tilt mechanism after 4.5 years

After 4.5 years, the tilt mechanism of my chair gave out. I contacted Secretlab support about this issue and within an hour received a response that a new base was on its way.
Anyway, 4 days later the new base arrived and the chair is good as new.
I can't think of a better example of customer friendliness and good service.

Extremely bad customer service and zero support

I had a nightmare of experience trying to order from them as EU registered company. I've contacted their customer support multiple times for all kinds of different problems. The payment that I was trying to do was getting denied on their website with simple error message saying "Please try again or contact our support" but the support had absolutely no idea what is going on, what or why the error was there and how to resolve it. They even told me in straight text that I can pay via bank transfer instead to make it easier and when I asked how can I do that, they said "oh, we don't support payments through bank transfers".

I finally managed to make a payment and get an order just to get issued an invoice with wrong information. Another set of multiple interactions with their support, getting denied simple corrections to the invoice. At the end I had to accept that the garbage of a note that they sent instead of an invoice won't be useful to my accountants and simply asked if I can file a complaint for the whole experience. "We don't have enough information to answer this question but if you want you can leave feedback through this chat". I did but I'm never using their services again as I can't imagine anything that could have happened to make this worse.

Easy to assemble good quality

Easy to assemble good quality. I think biggest thumbs up for packaging in my experience I never seened such a careful packaging of each part and each item. I can easy recommend this table for gamers adjusting the right hight for a table makes massive difference in comfort.

Really disapointing.

Really disapointing.

To start with, My Titan XL evo seat base failed after 3 years and 8 months.

Within these 3 years and 8 months, the caster wheels failed, and the metal base leg snapped. Replaced under warranty which was good, but the life expectency of the chair is a bit disapointing, especially at the price point.

I contacted SecretLab to see if I can replace the seat base and arm rests and ask what options I have. I need to get a new seat asap for work.

After 3 days of messaging back and forwards, customer service still havent told me the price of replacement parts.

Customer service offered a £70 voucher off a new chair, which I was considering. However, it was a bit insulting to receive a £30 voucher with a time limit of 4 hours.

I would really like to get a new secret lab chair, but the experience is just frustrating. Even more so when I have been recommending their chairs to friends and colleagues for the last few years!

Hi Xander, thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we’re sorry to hear about the frustration this situation has caused.

We understand how disappointing it must have been to experience concerns with your chair after several years of use, and we appreciate you reaching out to explore replacement options. Based on your case, our support team has offered both a subsidised replacement parts option as well as an alternative discount towards a new chair.

That said, we understand you preferred to receive the discount towards a new chair, and our support specialist is currently working on this and will provide you with the discount code as soon as possible.

We truly appreciate your long-time support and recommendation of our chairs, and we’re sorry that this experience hasn’t reflected that standard. Rest assured, our support team will be able to assist further should you have any other queries. We hope this helps.

Pre-ordered a cushion for my Secretlab…

Pre-ordered a cushion for my Secretlab chair, requested delivery to a post office box, given a delivery date of 22nd May, got a number of conflicting communications from Secretlab, but ended up getting told to get the delivery address changed (approx. 1.5km) as they do not deliver to post office boxes (not detailed at checkout) I would have to cancel my order and order again. Did as requested within minutes or receiving my refund only for the delivery date to get pushed back to 13th July. Sent an email asking for the original delivery date to be maintained and I was denied.

Hi Andrew, thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we’re sorry to hear about your situation. We managed to locate your ticket and understand our support specialist last replied to you on 10 May.

We understand how disappointing it must have been to receive a later pre-order date after being advised to cancel and reorder your item due to the P.O. Box delivery restriction. As our orders cannot be shipped to P.O. Box addresses, a new order had to be placed with the updated shipping details to ensure accurate tax and shipping fee calculations based on the revised delivery information. Regretfully, the new order would then follow the latest available pre-order allocation at the time of purchase, which resulted in the updated July estimate.

Nevertheless, we are sorry that the original estimated delivery timeframe could not be retained, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback regarding your experience. We hope this clarifies.
