Responding to this complaintAlthough with the common notion that the customer is always right, this is a blatant example where it does not applyThe proof is beyond solid, please see attached picturesThere is no need to use a magnifying glassThe thing is, this is a super high end guitar and with items like these, every scratch and dent makes a huge impact on the valueWould you buy a Ferrari when it comes with a little scratch on it? You'd ask for a big discountI have consulted my entire staff and I've determined that we as a company stand behind their decisionsThis customer can call us whatever she wants, in fact, I was told she acted disorderly and created a scene, as well as went above and beyond to defame us, outside in the parking lotThe offer to waive the restocking fee was a gesture, not blackmailIt's unfortunately how someone can twist things like thisThis is a business, if we can recoup on some of the losses these damages incurred by exchanging it to another guitar, that's a win win for both of usWe were trying to appease the customer with any creative solution possible.You might have very well wore cotton, but that doesn't prevent scratches caused by objects or your nailsWe stand by our policies and we are in line with all other major music retailers that carry these high end guitarsThere is no chance we will get full price with these scratches and therefore a restocking fee was applied.These pictures just show a fraction of the damages due to the limitation of how they show up on a camera and not real life, and this has taken our guitar tech about an hour to get it to this conditionI'm sorry but we stand by our decision, and we are a reputable dealer known nationwide and worldwide and we are actually very accommodating in these situationsHowever when a situation is twisted completely and when our whole sales team agreed that this was out of line we stand behind them as a companyThe blatant lies about how minuscule the damages were and how a generous offer was interpreted as blackmail, is far beyond our comprehension

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.First, I see no photos attached Second, I saw the guitar that I turned in It had a single short scratch on the back like a human hair that was not visible until the guitar was turned to reflect the light and the associate pointed to it When I took the guitar home, to try it out as the associate recommended, I did not inspect it with a magnifying glass It could have been scratched like that by the associate who unboxed it, or when we were passing it around while we tried various guitars I did not scratch it I treated it with extreme care, as one would for such a beautiful guitar It is speculation to say I scratched it with a fingernailI did not Regards, [redacted]

Responding to this complaint. Although with the common notion that the customer is always right, this is a blatant example where it does not apply.

with items like these, every scratch and dent makes a huge impact on the value. Would you buy a Ferrari when it comes with a little scratch on it? You'd ask for a big discount. I have consulted my entire staff and I've determined that we as a company stand behind their decisions. This customer can call us whatever she wants, in fact, I was told she acted disorderly and created a scene, as well as went above and beyond to defame us, outside in the parking lot. The offer to waive the restocking fee was a gesture, not blackmail. It's unfortunately how someone can twist things like this. This is a business, if we can recoup on some of the losses these damages incurred by exchanging it to another guitar, that's a win win for both of us. We were trying to appease the customer with any creative solution possible.You might have very well wore cotton, but that doesn't prevent scratches caused by objects or your nails. We stand by our policies and we are in line with all other major music retailers that carry these high end guitars. There is no chance we will get full price with these scratches and therefore a restocking fee was applied.These pictures just show a fraction of the damages due to the limitation of how they show up on a camera and not real life, and this has taken our guitar tech about an hour to get it to this condition. I'm sorry but we stand by our decision, and we are a reputable dealer known nationwide and worldwide and we are actually very accommodating in these situations. However when a situation is twisted completely and when our whole sales team agreed that this was out of line we stand behind them as a company. The blatant lies about how minuscule the damages were and how a generous offer was interpreted as blackmail, is far beyond our comprehension.

This was a simple pricing error due to a close model number confusion. Customer is simply trying to take advantage and buy all 10 of them obviously for resale. Not entertaining his threats and blackmailing. Also, we DO respond to ebay and we have a very close relationship with our ebay manager whom...
also looked into this situation for us and she has updated the eBay CS team our responses. We also communicated to the buyer as well and explained that this was an error, and promptly refunded him.

Hello,Not sure how to respond to this one. This is a problematic customer. He bought something from us late last year, leaving us a note as follows:Must be factory fresh, factory perfect including box ... must be doubleboxed with packing.After sending him one in a...
box, despite the cost difference of using a box, and paying much higher freight charges, he still managed to complain, as follow:Thanks
[redacted] ... USPS did a number on the outer box but your good packing
limited their damage to the product box to minimum damage. I would not
bother with a claim but I will send the photos to our postal inspector.
Pedal works great. I left positive ....you may want to show your postal
inspector how the product first arrived ... the pedal box on that first
delivery looked like USPS was throwing the package at the ground or a
wall ... thanks.This is not even the current complaint he's filing. He bought another item recently, which was described as B STOCK. Which is essentially refurbished, with possible blemish and damanges, plus possible missing accessories, manuals, etc. We all know what a B stock item is.He could buy a new one, which we offer, but he didn't.He's saying that WE dropped the product, which we didn't. He's saying that a power cord was missing, which we are taking care of for him. I don't know how to please someone like this.He has also gone and left a bad review everywhere he could find. Let me know what else I need to do. I believe this is our first Revdex.com complaint. Thanks
Review: I bought a Bstock TC Electronic GMajor 2 from them and it arrived damaged. Someone at Pitbull had dropped the unit on the rack ear and bent the rack ear. The unit was also missing an AC cord and is acting erratically. [redacted] is claiming that the cord is in there despite my wife and I checking. [redacted] also claims that a dropped unit with a bent rack ear is a minor blemish. At this point we are trying to return the unit. A damaged unit is not a blemish. Unit was acting erratically. Their reply: "Please check all the packaging. If the cord is not there we can get it replaced. You did purchase a B Stock unit. TC Official B Stock. Box might be damaged, or might be shipped in a plain brown box. Product might have minor blemishes. Should include manuals, and all accessories, but not guaranteed. TC WARRANTY applies"Desired Settlement: Pitbull is to provide a pre-paid return tag and take the unit back and provide a full refund for the unit they damaged.

[I never received a full refund for the damaged product they sent. Unclear why their "customer relations manager" is saying I am a problematic customer when they've left positive for me and we've resolved any past issues. The current issue is that they claimed that the bent rack ear was considered a minor blemish for B stock. It is not. I tried to resolve this with their "customer relations manager" and because I was not able to resolve the issue with him I had to escalate to his management and TC Electronics. I have no refund for the damaged unit they sent. They did not perform a thorough inspection on the unit before shipping and are taking no responsibility as the direct seller of the product. A review of the negatives that Pitbull Audio has garnered on [redacted] reveals multiple complaints by other customers such as these actual quotes: "This company has the worst customer service I have ever experienced.", "item was damaged and seller didnt even partial refund", "this company talks to me like you I was an it, stay away from them, avoid", "BUYER BEWARE! DONT BUY FROM HERE SELLER DOESNT STAND BEHIND PRODUCTS THEY SELL!!" This is the feedback Pitbull Audio left for me on this transaction "Great communication. A pleasure to do business with."
