  Complaint Purchased an ADCO Dual Propane Tank Cover (item 2612) (Amazon) August 12, 2021. The cover is showing signs of deterioration. The cover stated by **** carries a 3 year warranty.An email was sent to ADCO June 8, 2024 inquiring about the warranty procedure, the original Amazon invoice was attached along with pictures of the propane tank cover.This is where the problems begin.On June 21, 2024 I received an email indicating I would have to pay $75.00 (US) for shipping. The original item cost of the cover was $54.94. I contacted ADCO and expressed my concern that why would I have to pay that amount for shipping. Was then advised about an adjusted shipping charge contrary to the email. But was then advised I would have to pay taxes and duty.The problem here is why would I pay 75$ US ($103.00 Cdn) to ship a cover that originally cost $54. Then have to pay taxes on an item that I already paid taxes on in 2021 and then additional duty charges including any and all processing fees by the shipper which I was advised is fedex.Via a phone conversation on June 21, 2024 with ****, I requested a full refund the original tank cover for the $54 - as this would be cheaper even if ADCO was to pay the shipping charge of $75US. In additional to the additional duty and taxes I would have to pay in addition to any processing fees to ***** (brokering fees, admin, etc).With shipping, I estimated all cost with duty, taxes, brokering, etc. to be approximately $155.00 Canadian, if ADCO covered shipping costs I would still be paying approximately $52 Cdn. for other fees.I can buy this tank cover from Amazon for $52.14 plus tax a potential difference of about $7.

  Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your concerns about the warranty process and associated fees for your recent purchase. We understand how important it is for our customers to have clarity on such matters, and we appreciate your feedback. Our warranty policy for all ADCO items require the expense of shipping to be paid although the one-time replacement is issued at no charge. Unfortunately, all items shipped into ****** are subjected to duty or brokerage fees which are unavoidable. In good customer service faith, it appears the cost of shipping was waived to you for this warranty replacement already. 

   We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused. Rest assured, we continually review our policies to ensure they are fair and transparent for all our customers. We are here to assist you and address any further concerns you may have. Thank you for your understanding and for being a valued customer.

  We ordered a boat cover and selected the boat we had. When it arrived, there were no instruction manual and the box had previously been opened. It was the wrong size and did not fit. We called **************** and sent a new cover and said they would tell us how to return it. No one called or emailed us. When we called them back to find out how to return the original one and get a refund we were now told that we cannot return a custom cover, which this was not a custom cover. We have now asked twice to speak to a manager or owner and have not yet heard from anyone.

  Thanks for your recent purchase with Covercraft although I'm very sorry to hear your issue was not resolved.
  
  In reviewing your order history, it appears the first cover ordered was for a custom-fit under the **Top cover where the 2nd cover ordered was made to go up and over the **Top. We do have a very strict published policy on custom covers as they're made per your order and specifically for the boat entered. We do not stock these items so if they're returned without defect, they are very rarely resold. 
  
  Did you experience a fit issue with the cover? Any images to share? You mentioned the package being opened, was the cover damaged? ****** sent an email to you back on April 3rd through our contact center. Did you receive that message? I've requested the manufacturer to consider taking this cover back for a return since a new order has already been placed. If they approve the return, a 20% restocking fee will apply to the refund and it must be clean and returnable to stock to be accepted or it will be refused. Will you please confirm these conditions of the cover?

  I'll be happy to assist you further.

  I bought items from the Covercraft website on 4/24/2024 and have yet to receive my full order. The "contact us" number to call for customers **************** does not allow any number prompts to be entered and continues to say it is an "invalid entry"I kept trying different inputs and somehow got connected to the "sheepskin" department and the employee told me that the phone number not working is a known issue and she has had multiple customers call her with the same complaint.I have not received all of my order and the **************** number does not work when the number prompts are entered. Someone from Covercraft should make sure their customer phone line and prompts are working correctly and from speaking with the employee, this is a known issue that is not being corrected

  Thanks for your feedback although we're very sorry to hear your experience has been less than satisfactory. 

  We have indeed implemented a new phone system but receive several hundred phone calls a day without issue. At times, some queues can have longer wait times than normal or suggest call backs unfortunately so if the correct prompt isn't selected during the phone tree, it can route you to the incorrect agent. We're very sorry you were not able to get through and we'll definitely investigate further with our provider. I took a look at your order and all items have shipped and delivered with confirmed tracking and imagery from the ***** carrier. The Weathertech mats were delivered with tracking 741784191384 on 4/29 and the ** shield with tracking 273920595917 on 4/30. They appear to be left at the same address that was entered on the website.

  If you should not have received one of these items, we would recommend checking with surrounding neighbors or reach out to customer support at your convenience.

  Thank you for your feedback although we're terribly sorry to hear you're unhappy with the fit of the dash cover. I can see that you've been working with ******** through the troubleshooting and he has mailed the Velcro adhesives to properly secure the dash cover. However, if you choose to return the item, you can use the instructions he has provided and dispose of the Velcro when received.

  Purchased high end seat covers from Covercraft in February 2024. One of the seat covers was defective and Covercraft has been dragging their feet and has lied to me twice about when I would be seeing the replacement. It is approaching (3) weeks and still nothing. When I try to leave a review on their website, Covercraft blocks it.

  Thanks for your feedback although I'm very sorry to hear you experienced an issue with your seat covers. The review appears to be received, responded to and published directly on the website - I don't see anything blocking it. The replacement order was processed on Feb 22nd and was custom made per your order, since these are not stock products. This replacement piece shipped yesterday and you should have received tracking already. We apologize for the delay and greatly appreciate your patience during this process of resolving the matter.

  We sincerely appreciate your feedback regarding your recent experience with our product. I'm very sorry to hear you're experiencing a fit issue with your custom made front end cover. Unfortunately, it's extremely difficult to understand where the fit issue is occurring from the up-close images provided. We request full images of the vehicle with and without the product installed, so we can review the entire fit in one picture to better understand. I've shared a few images from our gallery with you via email, that show this product installed on your vehicle. The images are a bit dated since this is for an older vehicle, but may be helpful in determining where to place the hooks during installation. Of course, we can send you a prepaid label to have the item returned for inspection and pattern check, but generally unless we deem the product defective in field, we ask that you are responsible for the return shipping. We would like to request that you attempt the installation again using these images as a guide, but if you prefer that we send a label to have the item returned for an in-house inspection, that is an option. If the product is not found to have any defects, a restocking fee will apply to the refund. Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience you may have faced.

When I opened the box, there there was copious amounts of oil or grease on the top of the cover, at least. The cover was so big and stuff turned into a box so small that I couldn't pull it out and inspect it at the time I received it. To put it back in the box. It came in was very, very difficult.On February 1st, I open a complaint. Spoke to a customer service manager ******* in S.C. who advise me to send it back in for inspection . I never heard back. I had to make the phone call. She says this is a very rare instance and it's never seen this happen before and essentially is implying that I am lying. She was to check with a *********************** and equal customer service manager in **********. I never heard from him either. I found an ad that ******* being **************** manager had to call another one who was equal in her position. ******* was very vague including not providing me *********************** phone number and I had to ask three times for his last name. I did nothing to this cover other than open it out of the box. I have purchased other products in the past from Covercraft, but I am stunned by the lack of customer service on a defective product. No one initiated contacting me to resolve this issue.I want a new replacement cover as of the make, color and style.

  Thanks for your feedback and I apologize for the misunderstanding of our seat covers. All of our seat savers are a one-piece design for easy installation, removal and cleaning. It appears the inspection was completed today and a refund was posted, that you should see reflected to your account within a few business days. We're very sorry for the confusion and inconvenience this has caused and we hope you consider Covercraft again in the future.

  Thanks for your reply. We truly apologize for the trouble. It appears that ****** only mentioned the BBB claim to our returns team to rush the request for inspection and provide a sense of urgency.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  As of 18 dec 2023 no refund has hit my account or shows pending. Past customers have stated that a refund was supposedly issued to close the complaint and at the 30 day **** no refund has arrived. I would like some evidence this has been completed. I also plan to kick this up the ************** Attorney General for deceptive trade practices, false advertising, and business' fraud. I was very polite in the start and all i wanted was a refund per their website.

  They also changed their return policy since this has started from **** days to to the below and even added that they changed this 22 nov 2023 which is very odd because I have screen shots showing otherwise.

  Covercraft has a history of lies and unfair customer care that will not be tolerated. All I wanted was a refund and regardless of what they say once has not hit my credit card. 

  Refunds will be issued in the same form as original payment once the product has been inspected and processed, which generally takes up to 2 weeks from receipt.

  
  Sincerely,

  I ordered a Covercraft 3-Layer Moderate Climate Car Cover on 02/24/22 through an authorized retailer and a year later the product began to show signs of wear and tear and wasn't holding up as claimed by the manufaturer. I made attempts to contact the retailer and they refused to pay for shipping and claimed that it is my reponsibility to return the item. I then contacted Covercraft both my email and phone and they were non-compliant at first and did not make any attempts to respond to my emails in a timely manner which led to further delays. As a customer I felt like my time was being wasted and I wasn't treated with my respect. I provided all the photos request yet no response. I called their direct line and the customer service representative I spoke to didn't show any signs of concern either and didn't apologize on behalf of their colleague. I asked them for shipping rates and they told me to use **** and looking at the rates I will be basically paying more than half the price of what I paid for the entire product just for shipping. At this point, I don't even think it's worth returning this product anymore for an exchange for a new one as Covercraft uses materials of the cheapest quality that is not worth the price.

  Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback in response to your warranty claim. We're very sorry to hear this process has been so challenging and happy to assist you further with providing more information. After a review of your order details, it appears this cover was purchased through one of our online retailers, which has specific requirements around handling warranty claims. Unfortunately, we cannot override their published policy of having the cover returned for inspection prior to repairing or replacing the cover under warranty. Our customer service agent provided you with the necessary authorization number and address to have the unit returned to us as a courtesy but we cannot supersede their requirements. We truly apologize for the inconvenience this has caused and would be happy to provide further details if needed.
