Stark's Vacuums Reviews (%countItem)

On June 1, I placed an online order for 6 face masks, and they promise to include 2 additional at no charge. My credit card was charged immediately. On 18 June I received a shipping notice, but, as of today, 26 June, the Post Office tracking says that the Portland Post Office received notice of the package, but they have not received the package to ship. My local Postmaster checked the system and confirmed this yesterday, 25 June. I called the phone number listed, 1-800-230-4101 and it rang many times before a recording from Verizon stated that it was not a working number. I then reached out on Facebook messenger and through email, and both gave autoreplys asking for patience with no explanation or contact from a human. When I placed the order, I was informed that order fulfillment may take 10-12 days or longer. I was patient as requested and did not attempt to contact them until yesterday, a week after receiving a shipping notice.

Hi ***,

I am sorry you felt the need to contact Revdex.com. Your masks have shipped. The USPS have scanned the manifest that your order is in. That is the only way you would have received an e-mail from them.

My company phone number is printed on your credit card statement, it goes out to every person who orders a mask.

I hope you receive your masks soon.

Please contact if they do not arrive nest week.

Regards, Tina

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because as of 3 July the package is still not in the Postal System. Please refund immediately. Alexis from Stark sent me an email on 30 June with the following message: "I want to thank you for reaching out and give a major apology for the
delay. It looks like there was a shipping error on our end. I will have
your package re-shipped today with USPS Priority Mail, the tracking
number on that is xxxxxxx." As of today, July 3rd, the package still is not on the way.

The previous Revdex.com reply from Tina states that the manifest was scanned by the Post Office. Yes, the manifest was scanned but the Post Office has never received the prior package supposedly shipped on 18 June, and so far they have not received this one supposedly shipped on 30 June. Please refund immediately. Starks charged my credit card on 1 June and has not shipped the products I ordered.

Sincerely

Customer Response • Jul 07, 2020

I received the package today that was mailed last week; complaint resolved, but there is no way for me to respond on the Revdex.com website without action from either the Revdex.com or Stark's. Post Office tracking did not show acceptance or movement until it arrived in my local post office today. Please advise what I need to do on my end to withdraw the complaint.

Thank you.

On June 7th, I placed an online order for two white masks from Stark's Vacuum. I believed I would receive my order within 10 -12 days, just like their email stated. Although they did update me via email that my order was delayed, my order was more than a week overdue. It's understandable, given this Covid-19 epidemic, that masks are in huge demand. However, when I finally received my order on June 25th, it was incorrect. I received two black masks instead of white. I suspect that the company only had black masks left, so that's what they shipped. In any case, I emailed them twice yesterday on June 25th to report the problem. I also called their phone number several times. The first time nobody answered. The last two times my call was immediately disconnected. All I am asking for is a full refund. I do not want to wait another 3 weeks for them to correct the order. The masks they sent to me were mailed in a clear package, so I could see that it was black and I never opened it. If they want me to return it, I would be glad to as long as they provide a way to pay for the postage in advance. Thank you.

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because:

I did see that you attempted to refund the purchase to my credit card. However, my credit card was compromised shortly after I purchased the masks, so the bank issued me a new one. When you tried to refund my credit card, you should have received an error message. I checked my statement, and the refund didn't show up.

Is there someone I can contact in your company so that I can give them my new credit card number?

Sincerely

Customer Response • Jul 07, 2020

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that this complaint has been resolved. The company credited my account.

Thank you for your help

I ordered 2 masks and, when they arrived, I found they were too small and did not, as advertised, keep my glasses from fogging.
After a few emails with the CEO, in an attempt to get a refund, he stopped responding.

Stark's Vacuums Response • Jul 06, 2020

Hi ***,

So sorry that the masks did not fit. It clearly states on the website that we cannot except refunds because of COVID-19.

However, we are refunding your money.

I see that they have talked to someone here at Starks but it does not say what the conversation was.

His order has been shipped. We are getting delays through the post office.

Please let me know what the conversations were about.

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because:

Your response to my complaint doesn't accurately represent the situation. I will summarize:

On May 28th I ordered two facemasks through your website. The order is #***.

My credit card was charged on May 29th.

Stark's emailed me a shipping tracking number on June 17th.

On June 23rd I emailed *** and *** and asked why there was such a long shipping delay. I also asked to if I could get a refund on my credit card.

On June 23rd I received an auto reply from Stark's explaining that shipping was 10-12 days behind the order date, and Stark's was 3 days past that.

I never called or spoke to anyone at Stark's.

I would like a refund to my credit card and a communication from Stark's when that refund has been made.

Sincerely

On May 29, 2020 I ordered 4 masks from Stark's Vacuum. I spent over 50 dollars. A month later the masks have yet to arrive. I received an email on June 20, 2020 notifying me that the masks had arrived at my residence, but they did not. I contacted Stark's Vacuum directly to ask for a refund on my order but they have not gotten back to me.

Placed order#*** on May 5, 2020 for 5 COV19 Masks. I have yet to receive them as of today, June 10, 2020. I have made numerous calls only to be treated rudely or given the run-around when I have inquired about my order. I have ask for tracking information only for them to assign the blame to the USPS. On May 15, online I was told my order had processed for shipping. Since then, I have sent roughly a dozen emails inquiring about the status of my order only to be totally ignored. Definitely not customer friendly. Tired of being ignored with no response. Want my money refunded ASAP. thoroughly frustrated and disappointed.

Stark's Vacuums Response • Jun 11, 2020

We are currently selling masks. They are listed on our website, www.starks.com. When we started selling them, we had a disclaimer stating
that we were now taking pre-order sales.That we would be receiving them on May 8th and
they would take 3 to 5 days to process and ship.This all happened and then we find out that USPS was not
scanning the packages, so the customers were not being notified of the shipping
and they are also behind on their deliveries. Which can be verified on the USPS website. We have managed to work through that with only
a few returns.All packages are being shipped Priority Mail, which means
they should arrive within 3 days. USPS
has held our package, not scanned for tracking purposes and have not come to
pick them up on time.This has delayed shipping to our customers. We have a chat line set up to react to the
people thinking they should be receiving these masks next day. If they are not receiving them within 10 days,
they think it is a scam and requesting a reversal of the charges. If their masks have not been shipped, we will refund them
here. But most of the time the masks have been shipped and USPS
is holding them up.We have had several shipments since and have put on
additional people to work.So, the customer gets free masks and we are out the cost
of the mask, the labor, and the sale.Best Regards,Tina

I am rejecting this response because:

It is the same kind of "run-aound" all over again. Give me a tracking number...send me a copy of the notice they received from USPS that states all that they are alleging the USPS of. I have looked and looked At Stark's website and I do NOT find a "chat" window or anything like that. Fed up!

Mr ***,

I understand your frustration. Please know I have refunded your mask order.

Please enjoy the masks when they arrive.

I placed an online order for face masks on May 25. I got an e-mail acknowledgement the next day from . On May 31, I tried their toll-free number (800-230-4101) but it disconnected after a few rings. I then followed up with an e-mail on their website. I got an automated response to that, but to this day have not heard anything else. A week later I tried their landline (541 527-7006) and it also disconnected after a few rings. I sent a follow-up e-mail asking for the order to be cancelled. I never received an acknowledgement to that e-mail or a chargeback to my credit card.

Stark's Vacuums Response • Jun 15, 2020

Good Morning ***,

We have shipped your order last week.

I am sorry you are having problems with our 800 number.

We were working on it last week (Comcast) I did not realize that it was not working until this morning.

You should have received a tracking number from USPS by now. I know they are behind on getting the mail out.

Please let me know if they have not arrived by the end of the week and I will refund your money.

I purchased Royal Lexon S18 vacuum cleaner - 10/2015 from Stark's Vacuum of Sherwood, Oregon. I thought Stark's would carry quality products but now I found out it's not the case. I paid about $400 dollars. Less than a year after I purchased the cleaner the power nozzle attachment busted up in several parts beyond repair. This is just cheap plastic that is so flimsy it just falls apart. The Sherwood location didn't honor the warranty but instead the salesman gave me the power nozzle attachment off of a floor model that was busted up and used. That was the first problem. In October of 2017 the cleaner started acting up - the motor would rev down and stop. After clicking the start button again the cleaner would work. This issue continued several times until January 2018. At this point the cleaner completely stopped working. Now of course it's a few months outside of the warranty as it was in warranty back in October of 2017 when the issue first started. In January 2018 I went into the Sherwood location to see what the issue is with my cleaner. The salesman said it's part that can't be repaired as it's part of the entire unit. Which means it's dead & I'm out the $400 dollars. Vacuum cleaners should last more than just 2 years. I called around to several other vacuum stores in Portland & Salem - all of the stores stated they would not sell the Royal brand cleaners as the quality of concern. Between the poor customer service and being out my money - I'm very upset. I hope no one else shops at Stark's.

Stark's Vacuums Response • Feb 15, 2018

This customer contacted 2 of our locations and physically went into the first in Sherwood. We explained the vacuum was out of warranty but if he left it we could try to work with the manufacturer. We need the vacuum in order to determine what is wrong and submit for warranty but the customer decided to take the vacuum with him and "think" about it. He then contacted our Portland location and tried to get a diagnosis over the phone. We explained the same thing and he did not bring the vacuum in. I am confident we can get it covered under warranty given the circumstances but he needs to bring it to one of our locations so we can properly diagnose the issues and submit for warranty. At this point I would offer to provide a replacement and if that model is not available a similar one in brand etc. I will not offer a full refund for a product that has been used for 2 years and will not respond to threats.

Customer Response • Feb 15, 2018

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because:

The response doesn't make sense at all. Why would I go into a store with the vacuum cleaner and have the technician examine vacuum cleaner to determine that it is not fixable. Then why would I call the downtown Portland store location to ask to have a diagnosed over the phone? If it doesn't make sense it's not true. I have a witness who was with me when I took it into the store. I also have a video camera in my vehicle that has a date and time stamp showing when I went into the store with a vacuum cleaner in my hand.

Starks refused to replace the power nozzle that was under warranty less than a year after I bought it. It is very clear they do not honor the warranty.

No other no other vacuum cleaner store in Oregon sells the Royal Brand Vacuum Cleaner due to the fact that it breaks and falls apart within a couple of years.

From their response it is clear to store does not care about customer service or honoring the warranty. At this point I'm out the $400.

I will I will not be back into the store to buy anything from them again

We already know what's wrong with the vacuum cleaner as it's been diagnosed by the Sherwood location..

The only resolution I will accept is a full refund.

Sincerely
