      Status:
      Answered
      On October 4, 2022, I purchased a Kamoer X1 Bluetooth Dosing Pump for $65.99 from ***************************************. This pump is used to deliver exact amounts of a solution into an aquarium at specific days and times. After receiving the item and using it for one week in my aquarium, I realized that the pump was defective and not working properly. Specifically, the pump did not sick to the pre set schedule or times that were set in the Dosing Pump application. I have owned two other of these pumps and did not have a similar issue. On October 11th, 2022, I contacted Aquacave customer support to initiate a refund process. I was instructed by Aquacave support to contact the manufacturer of the product, Coralvue (coralvue.com). Coralvue customer support instructed me to ship back the defective pump to them (Coralvue) which I did on my own expense. Coralvue received the pump and said that it was used (which it was and how I was able to confirm it was defective) but siad that Aquacave would need to issue the refund. I've had several email and phone conversations with Aquacave support since then and they have refused to issue a refund and have not responded to requests to ship back the defective item. Now, I have neither the defective item, a new replacement, or a refund. Effectively, Aquacave as stolen $65.99 from me. I am seeking a refund for the $65.99 cost of the item and an additional $20 for having to ship the defective item back on my own expense.

      Terrible company!! May have been a decent company in the past. Order a $100 salifert test kit. They sent one that was extremely old and about to expire and one of the bottles was busted. I called and explained to them. They said I would have to pay for return shipping. So I boxed them back up went down to the post office. It was going to cost another $27 dollars to send them back plus wait another 2 weeks for a refund according to the gentleman I spoke with. So it was not worth paying the extra money to have them shipped and jump through all of the hoops hoping to get my money back so I just tossed the kits in the trash. Save your money and buy from BRS or Amazon. I can only imagine if I spent $500 and needed customer service or a return. You would be totally screwed. Don't say you haven't been warned.

      ******, It was good talking to you today. I spoke with the customer service representative you interacted with yesterday, and he indicated that he asked you to email us the picture of the test kits so we can quickly verify the issue. It's regrettable that you disposed of all the products and can not send us a requested picture of the test kits you've received to confirm the expiration date listed on the boxes. I've checked with the warehouse and the current batch of the kits has the earliest expiration date of 02/2026 for the Nitrate kit, 04/2026 for the pH kit, 06/2026 for Phosphate and Magnesium, and both KH and Calcium kits have expiration dates of 11/2028. *************************** www.aquacave.com
