To Whom it May Concern,
We're sorry for the difficulties you've experienced with this order and the delay in processing your refund. Please note that when a chargeback (dispute) is initiated, it can extend the timeline for refunds and returns, as we must wait for the dispute to be resolved. According to our records, both disputes have now been resolved, allowing us to issue a refund for the running boards to your original payment method. Please allow 3-5 business days for your financial institution to process the refund.
We appreciate your patience and thank you for reaching out.

On 12/10/2024, I purchased a light kit for my Wife's Jeep Wrangler, it cost $440.62. It was a Christmas gift. I received the product with no issues. However, it was the wrong style of lights my wife was looking for. I contacted Extreme Terrain about a refund on 1/7. They asked me to upload photos of the product which I did, twice. I have emailed multiple times asking if they received the photos and what the status of the return was. On 1/9/2025 they emailed me asking why I was returning the parts.. I explained why. They email back several days later asking for the vehicle's information. I said I just wanted a refund, they then said the manufacturer needed the info. So, I provided it. Several days later they sent me an email stating the parts were the correct parts for that vehicle. I responded that I was aware that they were correct, but it wasn't what my wife wanted. I have not received an email since the last correspondence on 1/24/2025. I just want my money back. I would've considered an exchange, but now I am put off by this company.Business Response

On 11/17/2024, I ordered product SKU#JG27666 and when it arrived, the assembly hardware was missing and the parts did not fit together as per the instructions. I called Extreme Terrain (Turn5) and they approved a return merchandise authorization, which I complied and returned the product via ***** to them and they received in on 12/05/2024. The replacement was marked in the system to ship 12/23/2024, and after many conversations with the company, I still do not have the item I ordered and paid for.

I ordered a set of tire pressure sensors for my Jeep gladiator. I paid to have them installed and they did not function. To install the sensors, or to remove them, requires a tire shop to break apart and then mount and balance the tires. So finding out that they were cheap ****, cost me $120 Dollars. Now, to be able to return them, I will have to pay this amount again to get them removed and sensors that actually work installed. They have refused to reimburse me for the extra $120. Be fore they will process the return for the bad sensors I have to return to the tire shop to get c*** sensors removed and send them pictures of the sensors that do not work. Dealing with their customer service has been a nightmare, I was repeatedly hung up on by ** agents and told by one supposed tech expert, that I would have to contact the company who actually made the sensors. A company that is in *****. They have said that it might be possible to give me store credit for the expense of removing the sensors, but I do not want move of their foreign made junk parts, I want my money. Dealing with this company has been a complete disaster. They make it difficult to return the items in hope that you will simply give up. My real goal is to get the word out to other possible victims. Do not buy from this company. If my warning saves one customer from having to deal with the greedy, uncaring people at this company, they I will be happy. Stay away from Extreme Terrain.Business Response

To whom it may concern,
We apologize for the issues you've encountered with the **** sensors. While we are unable to directly refund any fees paid to outside shops, as we can only refund the amount paid to us, our Supervisor has reached out and left a voicemail offering a call back to discuss your experience further and extend a store credit voucher as an apology. If you would still like to speak with the Supervisor, please contact him at *************************.

I have been receiving persistent and unwanted promotional emails from Extreme Terrain despite multiple attempts to unsubscribe. I have used their provided "unsubscribe" links on numerous occasions, yet the emails continue to flood my inbox. I even reached out directly to their support team, requesting to be removed from their mailing list, but my requests have been ignored or not adequately addressed. This ongoing issue has caused frustration and wasted time, as I am constantly sifting through emails I did not agree to receive. The company needs to respect customers' preferences and comply with unsubscribe requests promptly, as per best practices and legal standards. I am seeking immediate removal from their email list and assurance that my request will be honored.Customer Answer

I ordered parts for my truck on November 3rd. They canceled a portion of my order without notifying me. I called to inquire when I would be receiving the rest of my order, and that is when they informed me of the cancellation. The reason they gave me for the cancellation was that the price was incorrect on the website and that I would have to reorder it at almost 4 times the advertised price when I placed my order. Shortly after getting off the phone with them, they sent me an email stating that they cancelled my order and were going to refund me do to a missing package (which is a complete lie). The email states that I would receive my refund in 2-3 business days. Id is now December 3rd and I still have received my refund. I called them again today to find out when Ill be receiving my refund, and they were unable to tell me and then hung up on me.Business Response

To whom it may concern,
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the pricing issue with the Powerstop kit, as well as the delay in processing your refund. We understand that the package was not actually missing; the email you received was automatically generated due to our system's requirement to file the item as "missing" in order to issue a refund. This is simply a ***** of our system.
However, it appears that a refund was issued on December 5th to the original form of payment. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your patience.

Nov 11th I ordered two items which came to a total of a little bit over $400. I waited at home for ***** and time came and went and I saw that it said Misdelivered. I've then reached out to ***** who told me extreme terrain would have to call in to make any changes because of restrictions on the package because extreme terrain failed to put my apartment number on the box and my office does not receive deliveries. So I messaged extreme terrain to let them know and they immediately told me that the package was lost in transit. Randomly the package there later would say delivered but still the only proof of delivery it they have is one that does not have my address on it. I also brought up the fact if it was signed for as it was to compare that to any of my legal documents showing my signature and compare the two and I know for a fact they won't match because I never signed for any box. As I questioned extreme terrain about this because to me $400 is not just a small amount I can just throw away or allow them to steal and me be fine with it, one of their managers would get on the line and without reading any of the things that I just brought up, just because I was questioning the whole process and because I had a previous return he told me there will be no more action taken and basically I can s**** off and they're keeping the money even though they themselves have the proof that shows didn't have my address it doesn't have my signature and I was told it was lost in transit. Beyond that the only other return I had was for a tuner they sent me that had a glass face that they were wise enough to ship to me in a bag. So of course it broke and I sent it back. It didn't go missing I sent it back the way you sent it to me but you're holding that against me. That's absurd and I think you're just trying to find a way to scam me. I don't appreciate it and I have already filed other complaints with the **** and *********** general attorneyBusiness Response

The consumer placed an online order on 11/11/2024. The address for the online order we received was listed without any additional apartment number. There were two items in this order. Each package was shipped with a different carrier as they came from two different locations. The package shipped via ***** (tracking ************) shows delivered with the delivery signature of 'Signed for by: KSPIEGEL'. The package shipped *** (1Z59FV320332836773) shows confirmed delivery with a photo of the delivery.
Due to previous lost package claims on this account and the proof of delivery for both packages, we are unable to further assist with any lost package claims on this account.

Placed an order back on 10/27/24. Purchased protection plan for item. Once I received the item I quickly realized that the item would not work. I started the return process. Was told that I would be refunded all but $10 for the cost of shipping the item back. Today I receive a refund from the company in the amount of $163.99. When I contacted Extreme Terrain and asked why, it was because the protection plan was non refundable. How can I have a protection plan on a product that I do not have? How is that legal?Business Response

To Whom it May Concern,
The consumer reached out on 11/18/2024 to inquire about the refund on their extended warranty. Typically, the extended warranty is listed as non-refundable. However, since the customer returned their original order, we have issued a refund in the amount of $30 to the consumer as of today, 12/17/2024. We have also followed up with the consumer to advise of the refund. This matter is considered resolved.

Ordered front and rear rotors and brake pads for my jeep. Only received the front from rotors and brakes. After installing the front I am told the rear won't be delivered due to a pricing error on their side. Extreme Terrain states I only purchased the front. However they agree fully that my receipt states I purchased both refuse to honor it because they are claiming error on their part in pricing. So they fully agree I purchased both front and rear but decided half way through delivery it was the wrong price and I need to pay more money if I want the other half of my order. They only offered a discount to purchase the rear brakes and rotors. How can a company just say **** and expect customers to pay for their error. I would not have purchased the front and rear for that price. However now I am stuck with half or what I purchased on my vehicle and being told I can purchase the rest again if I like. This seems like a scam to get money out of customers.Business Response

The consumer placed an order for the Powerstop Z36 Extreme Truck and Tow Brake Rotor and Pad Kit; Front & Rear on 11/03/2024. A pricing error was discovered on our site regarding the kits. The kits were shipped. Upon discovering the pricing error, we were able to have the rear kit returned by the carrier. However, the front kit was delivered to the consumer and installed. Per our terms of service, which is available on our site: Prices and availability of products on the Site are subject to change without notice. Errors will be corrected when discovered and Turn5 reserves the full right to revoke any stated offer, acceptance, or confirmation, and to correct any error, inaccuracy, or omission (including after an order has been submitted or an order confirmation has been sent), at any time and without legal obligation.
Since the rear kit was returned, a refund for half the purchase cost was refunded, which was $164.28. The consumer spoke with a Service Lead on 11/9 regarding the order. The consumer requested to return the front kit and be refunded their labor cost since they would not be receiving the rear kit. The return was denied due to it being installed and used. We offered a $100 credit towards the purchase of the rear kit at the current pricing, which was refused.
We will follow up with this consumer again today, 12/17/2024, in an effort to assist with a different resolution.
