Hello [redacted],

Review: They shipped the wrong product color of oil rubbed bronze. I paid for 2 day shipping and customer service refuses to refund shipping. Customer service is offshore and refused to let me talk to someone in U.S. who could understand my issue. When I asked to talk to a manager I was put on hold for a long time and then told one was not available. Said they would ship out another product next day air. I did not receive confirmation of the replacement. I called the next day and was told product was arriving that day. Again told shipping would not be refunded. It did not arrive. Finally received a tracking number and product won't be here for another 6 days. I am out the 2 day shipping fee not to mention the complications of not receiving. Their normal terms are free shipping on orders over $50 unless one pays for one or two day shipping. They should refund my shipping as I clearly did not receive in the timeframe I paid for.Desired Settlement: Refund shipping of $29.50 and apologize for abysmal customer service.

Response:

Hello [redacted] and [redacted],We would like to apologize that this matter was not taken care of when [redacted] contacted our support team. [redacted]'s request for a shipping refund in this situation is completely valid. As requested we have already processed a full refund for the $29.50 shipping costs on her order and we have sent a separate email confirmation of this refund to her. We will be launching a full investigation into how this was handled by the agents [redacted] spoke with and taking disciplinary action as needed. We apologize again for all of the inconvenience [redacted] has experienced in this matter.Best regards,Katie W[redacted]BrickHouse Security

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved.

Sincerely,

Review: I am a single mother of an 18 month old, and 7 months pregnant. My husband recently left me and told me he was leaving due to interpersonal issues. I was suspicious that it was due to infidelity. I contacted Brickhouse Security and the sales rep sold me on the Nano Spark 3.0 with a 6 month battery pack, the catch was that I could place it on his vehicle without him detecting it. The sales rep also told me that the metal case was crush proof, also that it could withhold 60 pounds of weight, and that it was impossible to come off. I purchased it for the amount of $365 and even had it shipped overnight.

My order # for the first purchase was [redacted]. I received it next day, contact customer support to make sure I understand how to mount it to the vehicle. I was told that as long as it was on metal to metal it would stay put and work (I even cleaned it off the dust so it attaches). Needless, to say I placed it and only after a less then an hour of tracking, the device falls off onto the freeway. I contacted customer support to see if they can help me locate. They told me that it can only be "pinged" for location if someone presses the panic button. Well, its sitting on the freeway, no one can press any button. I even took a colleague from work to make an attempt to look for it on the freeway, which is dangerous enough. Again, I spent $365 so it was a lot of money. I contacted customer support and they told me that it was probably not placed correctly, although I swore it was on the chassis of the vehicle.... So I accepted responsibility and purchased another thinking maybe I did something incorrect. I spent $300 and got another one ( order #[redacted]). This time I wasn't taking any chances I took a mechanic with me to place it on the vehicle, which he did. Again, I got 30 minutes of tracking and then what appeared to be was the vehicle was not moving for over 3 hours. I actually went to the location and found the vehicle was not there. Again, the tracker fell off. I was told the magnet will uphold anything and here I am out now $750. I contacted the company and spoke with [redacted] (CS Supervisor). Here they are again not taking responsibility. Could it be that it was a defective product or the product just didn't serve its purpose. I know my husband didn't find it as he would have confronted me with it. I have asked [redacted] that this time the company has to take some responsibility, The first time, I get it, maybe I didn't place it correctly, so I purchase it again giving the company some credit- but it happened again, this is the second time. I have given the company plenty of opportunity to redeem itself and accept some responsibility! the tracker in the magnetic case falls off and they told me that it wouldn't. I am single mother of 2 and here I am out on $750. It's not a small amount, I would like the company to take some responsibility and credit me for my loss. All the customer service reps are based out in Manila and the y won't help me get to someone who can help. I have contacted and left numerous messages for [redacted] or her manager to call me, as this is not acceptable to say a product does something, and it doesn't deliver. I am very upset not only for the way the company is treating me but also for not compensating for my loss as the magnetic case doesn't not adhere to the metal part of the vehicle. I was told me one thing and the results are completely different.Desired Settlement: Please refund my total of both transaction equaling to the amount of $750, which is what I lost believing this product will deliver the sales rep said it would.

Response:

Hello [redacted] & [redacted]r,

We’re very sorry to hear that the second device has also been lost. Upon checking the tracking information for the second unit it does show that the last tracking report from the device was while the vehicle had come to a stop and was parked in a parking lot. These are motion activated units which only show GPS locations while the device detects motion. However, the units will also continue to send battery status alerts to the back end of our server while the device is sitting idle. For this unit we received two battery status updates from the device as it was sitting idle in the parking lot and then it stopped reporting to our servers. As the device was known to not be in motion when it stopped reporting to our servers this information indicates that the device was removed from the parked vehicle and powered off. Unfortunately this type of scenario does happen and devices are sometimes removed either by the people being tracked with the units or even at times by law enforcement.

Unfortunately we cannot issue credit for the lost units. We understand [redacted]’s frustration in this matter, but the evidence in this scenario does not suggest a fault with the unit or the case. If [redacted] would be interested in another unit, we will gladly offer her a new device at cost value, but we cannot issue credit for the lost units.

Best regards,

Customer Service Manager

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

Review: I've tried to order from this company several times and they wont ship to an address separate from the billing address. Hello, the 1980s wants their security back. To think in this day and age when EVERY major retailer will let you use separate shipping and billing addresses they won't is ridiculous. This is not security, it is security theater. The credit card was authorized and funds are available.Desired Settlement: I was originally promised to have this order be the end of the week. I want that to be honored even if it requires expedited shipping.

Business

Response:

Hello [redacted] and [redacted],

We apologize for any inconvienence, however we do make a practice of asking for shipping addresses to be verified when different from the billing address of the credit card being used. This is done especially on orders which are shipping and billing to addresses that are in completely different states as was the case on this order. This is done to protect both our customers and our company against possible fraudulent transactions. It is stated under the terms and conditions page on our website that orders may be held for further verification and it does specifically explain the process on orders that are shipping to an address different from the billing. This is for your protection and to help maintain a safe online shopping experience.

Due to the frustration you experienced as a result of this though, we are honoring your request to expedite the package to ensure that you receive it before the end of the week. We have upgraded the shipping method on the order to 1 day shipping service at no cost.

Review: I purchased an svat 8ch smart security kit for $383.99 item #[redacted] on dec **2012 order confirmation [redacted]. When I received the kit it came UPS instead of fed ex. There was no packing slip, no invoice and in a plain brown box with no svat security tape or box from official company. I was displeased with the black chords on the cameras, with the quality of the cameras and with the method of damage to the boxes that it had arrived including missing manual info. I called and and upon talking to customer service( I have notes of people/id numbers and when and what was said) I decided to upgrade to the same entire system I had already purchased from brickhouse for my very first security system( **8 ch **. I was given an RMA # of **and having to buy a new box to mail it back I filled out th eappropriate paperwork and returned the system item **-**for the system of **8 ch **. Instead of receiving the entire correct system I received the correct DVR but the same cameras with the back chords that belonged to the **system...I have been calling qand talked to multiple employees to rectify the situation and get the right cameras but to no help. I was tyold to send back the entire system which I am not inclined to do... First that leaves me without a DVR to protect my home and honestly I do not trust that I will receive the correct product back. I offered to send them the wrong cameras back inexchange for the right cameras and was told that they might not carry the cameras that are sold with the system and will have to accept what ever they send me. I am not satisfied with that answer or method of solving this delima. I found the cameras needed and that should have been included in the kit on amazon and even called them to let them know that they could be purchased for $399.00 so that they would have the correct cameras for the kit I purchased their response was just that I needed to send back everything and then they would see what they could do....Desired Settlement: I would like to return the unused 8 cameras that belonged to the 1102 system and have the correct cameras and all the correct equipment for those cameras sent to me so that I will have a complete 8 camera system which is what I purchased for the $435.00. ( the return of the 383.99 system plus an additional %51.00 to get a system with the proper cameras and a system like the one I originally bought from brickhouse security when I first started using their company.

Hello [redacted],

Review: In July I bought dual car camera and was using it happily for 100 days

Then November came

Temperature dropped to -2 degrees Celsius

And I noticed that the camera does not turn on till I heat the car to +8 degrees Celsius

Which tells me I bought item with hidden defect - hidden for me till cold weather came

And their customer service refused to take the item back telling me I needed to discover the defect in 90 days

Probably they expect your customers to get into refrigerator and test the device thereDesired Settlement: Return the money I paid - $150

Response:

Hello [redacted] and [redacted] ,

Unfortunately we cannot issue a refund for the Dual View Car Camera purchased on 7/**/2013. As stated in our return policy all of our products our covered under a 90 day warranty which would cover a replacement of the item if needed. [redacted] received the Dual View on 7/**/2013. The 90 day warranty on the item expired on 10/**/2013, a month before we were contacted about the issue with the item.

All electronics have certain thresholds of temperature in which they will operate in. Upon checking [redacted]’s account in our system I saw that he just purchased our new model of the Dual View HD Car Camera. This newer model has a storage and operating temperature of -10C - 40C. If this new device fails to operate, [redacted] would be eligible to return it for a refund within 30 days of receiving it and a replacement up to 90 days. As the item was just delivered to him today, the refund period will last until 1/*/14 and the warranty will cover the item until 3/*/14 on this new purchase.

Hello [redacted] and [redacted],

Review: On December **, 2014 I placed an order with this company for 2 toddler tags and 1 panda leash (all child tracking systems) for our family vacation to Disneyland. I chose to have my order include expedited shipping for a fee of $32.95 to be received in 2 days. My first issue was that I didn't receive anything from them until December [redacted] (well over the 2 days). When I did receive a parcel, only the 2 toddler tags were in it. I emailed the company on this day to see when I would be receiving my third item. I received an email back from them stating that they didn't have a tracking number and would follow up with me. Obviously they had made a mistake on my order and not included my third item. Notwithstanding that none of the products worked, my issue started upon returning home from our vacation to find a bill from [redacted] for $125 for the third item! Apparently, Brickhouse, upon realizing their mistake, rush shipped my third item. I did not authorize such an action, especially knowing how expensive it can be. In talking with [redacted], this charge is because of how Brickhouse sent the third item - not the way I requested it be sent. I run businesses from my home, using [redacted], and cannot have this matter left unresolved. I have contacted Brickhouse, via email, three times now regarding this and they are not willing to admit fault or offer any resolution to this problem simply stating that they are not to be held responsible for addition duty fee. While I understand this, I do think however, that if they ship an item in a different way than ordered, which leads to these additional charges, then they should be held responsible. I feel it is unethical for them to start a process, that was not requested or authorized, that in turn leads to additional charges to a customer.Desired Settlement: I would like Brickhouse to either pay [redacted] directly the charge that they incurred to myself through their actions, or pay me the amount of the bill so I can pay [redacted]. I don't feel this is unreasonable. I am not asking for a refund for the products that did not work, just that they look after the charges that I received due to their actions.

Response:

Hello [redacted] and [redacted],I have already been in contact with [redacted] today over this issue. She was very helpful in sending me a copy of the invoice from [redacted] that she refers to in this complaint so that I could investigate this further. The [redacted] was shipped separately from the other items on the order as it originated from a different location. The item was drop shipped directly from our vendor whereas the other items were fulfilled and shipped from our warehouse directly. Both packages should have been sent via [redacted] worldwide expedited service. Upon looking into this further and speaking with [redacted] about the bill she received I was able to confirm that our vendor shipped this order for us using [redacted] expedited freight. This is not a shipping option which we ever choose or authorize our vendors to use for our shipments. This is what resulted in her receiving the freight shipment bill from [redacted] on that package. As this was a mistake made by our vendor, we of course agree that it is our responsibility to cover this invoice from [redacted]. I have already contacted [redacted] on this and we have processed payment of $124.03 CAD for the invoice. We sincerely apologize again for the inconvenience this matter may have caused.Best regards,[redacted]

Review: I ordered a product from this company ** October 2014 , rejected the delivery because of the ridiculous amount of time it took them to ship the item (was shipped on ** November 2014) with no explanation. I tried calling to cancel the order after roughly 3 1/2 weeks but they said it was too late and I would just have to refuse delivery. Then after calling 3 times and being promised my refund would be processed within 5 business days each time I have yet to receive refund of payment.Desired Settlement: They need to refund me for the purchase that I did not accept plus any interest that has accrued from that purchase since the time that they received the product back from [redacted].

Review: Nano 3 is a GPS tracking system for children, animals, vehicles etc. Also purchased their heavy duty magnetic box for attaching to under carriage of vehicle. The magnetic box dislodged from vehicle during trip from New Jersey to Maryland. The GPS tracking system can be adjusted to communicate via chosen minute intervals, i.e. 1 minute, 3 minute, 5 minute etc... Factory setting is 3 minute interval. Called Brickhouse Security on May [redacted] to have intervals changed to 1 minute tracking signals. Was told would be changed within 24 hours and no further notification was necessary. Tracking device dislodged from our vehicle in Maryland on I-95 highway. Brickhouse Security was notified and asked for their assistance in tracking the GPS to it's location. Brickhouse Security Company did not change the intervals for the GPS, they can only narrow to an 8 mile radius. If the tracker had been switched to the 1 minute intervals we would have had a increased 70% chance of locating. When we asked what they could do to help they said they would not and could not do anything. And they have 'never' had this happen before (a request in locating a GPS device) and would bring it up to management. I am $506.41 into their product and they said they can not and will not do anything to rectify situation. 1) magnetic box was attached to vehicle per there stringent guidelines - inferior product - it fell off 2) advertised as best gps tracking system used by law inforcement, parents and businesses ..... but when called to track lost GPS they said they can't help locate it. 3) Nano 3 and weather proof box cost $206.91 4) Additional cost of prepaid tracking service for year: $299.50 ($29.95 per month with prepay discount of 2 months) Advertised as: Spark Nano 3.0 GPS Tracker Our Best-Selling, Smallest Battery-Powered "Real-Time" GPS Tracking Device The Spark Nano 3.0 real-time tracking device gives you up-to-the-minute GPS updates on whatever matters most, from anywhere you are.

Hello [redacted] and [redacted],

Review: I purchased 3 nanny cameras with fire detector alarms covers but only used one. The two reaming sets of products have not ever been used and when I called customer service asking them if I could return these items they said no. Albeit I purchased these items mid-November and are past the 30 day policy, these products have never been used, and someone else could probably make use of them. This is a very poor customer service experience and I would not recommend purchasing from this vendor.Desired Settlement: I would like to refund the unused items in their original condition for a full refund.

Hello [redacted] and [redacted],I have reviewed the situation and we can offer an exception to our return policy as [redacted] has stated that the items were never used. I have already tried to reach out to [redacted] by phone and email to confirm which of the two cameras from her order she needed the return on. Once I have confirmation back from her on this I will authorize the return for the two unused cameras and enclosures to be sent back for a full refund on those items. Best regards,[redacted]

Hello [redacted],

Review: My GPS Livetrack works perfect 8 hours every week, and its not random and its not a connection issue, nor is it a cell coverage issue. It is incorrectly programmed and is polling the info from my GPS for 8 hours, one day each week, the same day each week and after 4 times of showing one day it show two days but still only 8 hours. The next 4 weeks it will only show the new day which it selected. Doesnt matter is the vehicle is stationary, what city its in, in a garage, etc... it just stops and starts every seven days.

Everything was fine until July [redacted] and it stopped, and I opened a ticket to no resolution. It came back online the next Thursday late at night until Friday morning early. Off for another week until back on Friday for 8 hours, off for a week, back on Friday for 8 hours, off a week, back on late Friday until turning off Saturday (again 8 hours), then off a week and on Saturday, off a week on the next Saturday.

Please tell me, since I am an engineer in Santa Clara, how you think this is a mechanical or electronic connection issue? It is in the programming of your server and how it polls the device... there are no buffers over flowing, nothing wrong electornically... one week it was off the car drove across 3 states for 1800 miles and it never showed up until it was parked in the driveway with nothing moving, and it tracked it there for 8 hours until it turned off for a week.

Please escalate this to your Tier 3 support person. Its clear that nobody I have tried to communicate with knows anything about GPS/GPSR/GSM but I build networks for them and clearly this is a back end issue. I dont think you support your own solution and that you purchase it from another provider and thats fine, my company does it all the time.. but your responsible for my service working. I want this escalated immediately. The last several tickets, or attempts to all in where met with form letter responses that dont apply. This is a a pattern, clearly not dictated by movement, location or even if the car is on or off..

Now the "manager" Olivia that I was working with just stopped responding to emails.... because I cant tell her the series of blinking lights when I already did this to no resolution once.... worst company experience ever, clearly outsourced to [redacted].

HOW THE HELL CAN THEY HAVE AN A+ RATING WHEN THEY ONLY HAVE NEGATIVE RESPONSES? OH YEAH, THEY PAY FOR IT!!!Desired Settlement: For them to escalate the problem, they clearly have no idea what is happening and are reading a script... I need to speak with an engineer.

Review: On approximately or around March [redacted] 2012 I ordered a Dual Channel Acoustic Noise Generator from Brickhouse Security. At this time from the information presented on Brickhouse Security's website about this product I had expected the product to be relatively easy to use and to set up and without any requisite future financial expenses or commitments from me. At around that time, I believe before I received the product I was required (again contrary to what I had expected) to sign a an end-user agreement stating that I was not to resell this product; that I was the exclusive end-user. When I received the product after some delay (mid May 2012) I was able to look over the instruction manual. Upon reading the instruction manual I learned that this product required a relatively complex (for my circumstances) installation process and a further financial commitment for necessary additional hardware components from Brickhouse Security. As I had already made a significant investment in this product and now aware that installation is very difficult and possibly impractical for my circumstances I am disappointed; and now I am stifled by law from reselling this product per end-user agreement.Desired Settlement: I would like a refund and I am be willing to return the merchandise (still unused) to the manufacturer if asked.

Response:

Hello [redacted] and [redacted],

We have reviewed your request, but unfortunately we will not be able to honor a return on this order. Our return policy allows for items to be returned for a refund within 30 days of receiving the product and this order is too far outside of that period for us to be able to honor a return on this order. We do try to work with our customers and often make exceptions to this within reason, but unfortunately we are not able to take back any item over two years after it was received. We sincerely apologize for any inconvienence in this matter.

Response:

Hello,

We were first contacted by [redacted] via email on 5/**/14 in which he notified us that he had received an empty package and wanted a full refund. We investigated the matter with our warehouse and replied to [redacted] on the morning of the [redacted] advising that this package was not shipped empty. Our shipping records and inventory count confirmed that the items had shipped. The weight on the package confirmed by UPS (tracking# [redacted]) also confirmed that the package shipped to [redacted] weighed 0.60 lbs. We did a weight test in which we had our warehouse weigh one of our shipping boxes with the same two items in it and the weights matched confirming that the package shipped to [redacted] was not shipped empty. We replied via email advising of this and at no point did we tell [redacted] that we forgot to put the items in the box as stated in the complaint.

[redacted] then sent in a new email to our customer service team later that morning stating only that the 32gb SD card was missing from the order and was requesting that we reship that item only. As we already had notes on the account about the previous claim made by [redacted] and we had already investigated the shipment sent from our warehouse and confirmed both items shipped we replied advising of this again and that we would not be reshipping.

If [redacted] is still claiming that he is missing the SD card we can offer to reship that item only. As the SD card is small and doesn't add much weight to the package we'll admit that it could be possible even though our records do show that item was shipped. However, we will not be able to offer a refund on this order as we have confirmed the package was not shipped empty and the emails we received from [redacted] do show that he changed his claim of not receiving anything to only having not received the SD card.

Review: I purchases a dual camera system from them and used it a few times approx. (4) and it stopped working. It would no longer come on. I called brick house and they told me that the camera wasn't there's but belonged to a vendor SVAT. They gave me the number and transferred me only to hang up on me. I then called the number they provided but it was impossible to get someone on the line. After a week of trying, I got someone that then tried a few steps and sounded very confused. They then instructed me to a trouble ticket website to submit a ticket. I do this and time goes bye of back and forth and they finally concluded after I sent them a picture that the product was not theirs but brickhouses, and furthermore felt like they sent me on this wild goose chase so that my warranty could run out. I have been dealing with this for months and called brickhouse on several occasions. They continue to keep me on hold for over an hour assuming I will hang up and then refused to get me a supervisor. Once I got a supervisor I asked her ([redacted]) to either replace the product with the exact same product or to give me a refund. They no longer carry the product she said and will see about a refund. I have been dealing with this since march/april and I was told by [redacted] that she will look into it and call me back today before 11am. I told her that every time I call someone say the same thing and never call and when I call back no one knows what I'm talking about so I then have to start over again. I waited till 1130 to call her and is still on hold now. It is now 1234 and im still on hold. This is a clear attempt to get me to hang up and quit! I'm frustrated and very upset with this company and will make sure to put them on our black list for every state we are in! I have spent a lot of money with this company with all the business I own and associate with. I want a full refund for my product. $149.95! They offered me a different camera with a lot more limitations and I told them this was a down grade and unacceptable!Desired Settlement: I will consider this settled only if I receive a full refund due to they took this camera off the market probably cause they found a lot of defects!

Response:

Hello [redacted] and [redacted],

We sincerely apologize for the experience which [redacted] had in regards to this issue and we will be fully investigating the calls in which he was provided incorrect information as to calling SVAT for tech support on the Dual View. There is a notation on the account that he was provided their number for a different product he purchased, but the agent should have made it clear that SVAT does not also support the Dual View Camera.

Upon checking the account we show that [redacted] has been calling since yesterday requesting for a refund. The request was denied by the agents handling the calls as the item is far out of our return period. An exception was offered for an out of warranty replacement, but the model which [redacted] purchased back in February of this year has since been replaced by a newer model of the same device which he did not want.

We are willing to make an exception to our return policy and take back the Dual View Car Cam for a refund to resolve this issue as the exact same model is no longer available for the replacement. We are processing a RMA (return merchandise authorization) for the return. [redacted] has been sent an email from us which includes the assigned RMA number and all instructions for the return. Once the return is received, our returns department will issue a refund within 10-15 business days. The refund for the Dual View will be credited directly back to the credit card which [redacted] used for the purchase.

Review: It is ok to have problems with equipment but when they turn their back on a customer that is really what makes you a terrible company. I was a customer for a year and bought a GPS tracking unit for my truck for $200. I also paid $30 per month for the monitoring fee.

One day the unit stopped working or the satellite stopped tracking so I called them and it was a nightmare but they reassured me it would get fixed. The following week the same thing happened and they didnt have an answer for me so I was forced to go to another company. I decided to pack up the unit and ship it back so I could get my money back for the GPS unit because it wasn't MY fault the unit failed!!

I just received HALF the equipment back with a ridiculous letter saying it was 30 days old and they do not allow refunds.

How ridiculous is that? I called customer service and they said they would send me a new unit!!! Hahahaha I said "I signed up with another company 2 months ago...thats how long it took to get back to me!!!!! He told me a supervisor would get back to me and Im still waiting!!!!Desired Settlement: Send me a check for the equipment and I will send back the one piece they sent me back. They already stole half of it already!!!!!

Response:

Hello [redacted] and [redacted],Unfortunately we cannot issue a refund for [redacted]'s order. Our return policy allows for refunds within 30 days of receiving your product and also states that GPS trackers are non-refundable items once they have been used. We sometimes can make an exception to this policy within reason, but unfortunately we cannot issue a refund for a GPS tracker that has been used since its purchase in 2013. The return package was originally sent as an unauthorized return to our NY head offices. We do not process returns in this location and the package was later forwarded to our returns department in our warehouse for inspection. We have checked with our [redacted] and they did confirm the only item we received back was a visibally used HCT GPS tracker that we were able to identify as being purchased from us in 2013 based on the IMEI number of the unit. We returned what we received from [redacted] with a letter explaining that we cannot refund the unit. We understand he is claiming that he only received half of his item back. If he tells us which part was missing in the return package we will gladly ship out the missing part.We have no problem offerring an out of warranty replacement as an exception for [redacted] if his device is experiencing technical issues, but we cannot issue a refund for a used item so far out of policy.Best regards,[redacted]

This company had terrible customer service. Most of the people couldn't speak proper English and I couldnt understand them. The product and the service failed so I was FORCED to go elsewhere and purchase another GPS UNIT for $250. I want to be reambursed for the unit. I sent it back and they returned HALF the unit!!! Very bad company! Let the buyer beware!!!

Response:

Hello [redacted] and [redacted],The statement from our previous reply which [redacted] is claiming is untrue was something that we verified by auditing the call he made to us to deactivate service. The agent did offer a week of free service so that we could continue trying to troubleshoot the issues with the device and when [redacted] declined she also assured him that if he ever decided to reactivate service with us we would work with him to get that service working.As stated in our previous replies we would gladly issue a replacement if he wanted to continue service with us. We also are more than willing to send out whatever part was missing from his return if he lets us know what piece it was. However we cannot issue a refund for an order so far outside of our eligible refund period. Best regards,[redacted]

Review: It's has been two months since Brickhouse bought our service plan from Securus and our trackers are still not working.

Tracker THC: the panic alarm doesn't work consistently. The Geo fence doesn't work. Notices lag hours if any notices are even received.

Tracker THC2: the panic alarm doesn't work consistently. The Geo fence doesn't work. Notices lag hours if any notices are even received.

Tracker Central: the panic alarm doesn't work consistently. The Geo fence doesn't work. Notices lag hours if any notices are even received.

Tracker Raven2: the panic alarm doesn't work consistently. The panic alarm doesn't give an address when triggered. Notices lag hours if any notices are even received.

Tracker Church: the panic alarm doesn't work consistently. The Geo fence doesn't work. Notices lag hours if any notices are even received.

Mobile website will not update and still shows day old information about the trackers unless you click on one specific tracker.

Website account shows day old information and doesn't log any of the panic alarms as it should.

A look at the account shows we have called in and emailed countless times over the past 2 months with endless promises it will be fixed, a programmer is working on it, Brickhouse needs another week, a supervisor will contact us back, etc. After 2 months, the problems continue. I personally hold a Master of Science in IT and this issue doesn't take months to fix but mere hours. We continue to get charged for services we have yet to be provided.Desired Settlement: Fix the aforementioned issues and provide reliable service where Geo fences work, panic alarms work, mobile website works, website works, address of location is provided and all tracker notices are received immediately.

Response:

Hello [redacted] and [redacted],We sincerely apologize for the issues [redacted] has been experiencing since the transition to BrickHouse as well as the lack of resolution to his problems. I have assigned his case to one of our corporate tech support specialists to personally assist with this account. We have tried reaching out by phone today to get in touch and also sent [redacted] an email with our corporate support rep's information. As the issues he has experienced have been ongoing we have extended a free month of service for all of the devices on his account with us.Best regards,[redacted]

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

The issued remain and the service is still not being provided. We have been billed for the past month for services that were not provided. We should be refunded last month and continue to go unbilled until this issue is resolved. As it has been months of the issue remaining-we are growing impatient and wonder if the service will ever work. If Brickhouse cannot get the service up and running within another week, it would seem fair for them to allow us to turn in our devices and be refunded for them. We purchased the devices under the belief that service would be provided and clearly that hasn't occurred.

Response:

Hello [redacted] and [redacted],We have issued refunds in full for the 1 month of service that had been charged already on [redacted]'s account. The service extension of a free month we applied also remains on the account so that [redacted] will not be charged for service while we continue to work with him.We are working to try and resolve the issues [redacted] has been experiencing. Unfortunately we would not be able to issue refunds to [redacted] for the purchase price of his eZoom devices as they were not purchased from us and our company did not charge him for those devices. If the problem persists with the eZoom trackers we would definitely be willing to try replacing his units for free with another tracker from our company that is comparable to the eZoom.Best regards,[redacted]

We have not yet exchanged the devices. We would accept Brickhouse's offer to swap out the devices if this will indeed correct the issue once and for all. We would ask the business to let us know how to begin this process. Thanks.

Review: Purchased the GPS tracker, Plug in Module for my company vehicle, $89.99, got a free month of service agreement($29.99 value). after the month was over, Oct ** 2015, it tracked for 4 more days then quit, I call a few times with issues, but nothing was ever resolved. said they would send a signal to the device and that's where it ended. I want my money back, because it only worked for 4 days after the 100% satisfaction guarantee 30 day refund., when I called to confront, the customer service rep pretty much told me that he was sorry about my luck....While I was talking to him, the unit surprisingly started working after 26 days of non-tracking.....Imagine that! They also noted that I had called about the problem on the ** of November.Desired Settlement: Total refund!

Response:

Hello [redacted] & [redacted],We will be having a supervisor try to contact [redacted] today in regards to his return request. Upon checking the tracking history we did confirm that his device stopped tracking on 10/**/15. We would be more than happy to honor his request for a refund, or if he would prefer to instead offer a replacement on the device. As the device has not had tracking since 10/** we also agree it is more than fair to refund the service charges issued after that date. We are processing refunds for service charged in the amount of $29.99 on 10/**/15 and 11/**/15. [redacted] will receive email confirmations for both of these refunds from our system today. We will wait to cancel service or set up the return until we speak with [redacted] to confirm if he would like to try a replacement unit first or to just be issued the return authorization to send his device back for a full refund. We sincerely apologize for how this return request was handled when [redacted] called in. It definitely does not sound like he was provided the level of support which we expect from our team and we will be conducting an audit on how that call was handled by our agent.Best regards,Katie W[redacted]Customer Service ManagerBrickHouse Security
