Review: I filed a warranty complaint. The canvas tarp of the building we purchased is coming apart at the seams that holds the metal pipe that anchors the tarp down.

I haven't heard anything from the company regarding this issue. It's like they are completely ignoring me. I have made numerous calls to the business about previous issues as well as this issue. No one returns calls. We had such issues to begin with damaged and missing parts. took us from June 2014 till Oct 2014 to get all the missing pieces. The original tarp that was sent wasn't cut to hold the metal pipe that anchors it down. It was a solid pouch with no openings at either end to insert the pipe. When I called I was told to just cut it. Now the entire pocket that holds this metal pipe is coming apart at the seams.Desired Settlement: I want the company to stand behind their product and ship a new tarp.

Response:

We do apologize that you are having issues with your cover

and want to find you a solution. You

stated that you filed a warranty claim but I am unable to locate that claim and

have no receipt of a claim being filed. To

make it easier for you, would you be so kind to send me the pictures of your

building and the seams coming apart? We

appreciate your assistance as we work towards a resolution.

Review: Back in July of last year I purchased a [redacted] to cover and protect my [redacted] so I could work on it in inclement weather. On January 15th when I went out to check on every thing I found that the inside of the cover, pipe frame and my truck were covered with ice and dripping water. When I contacted the company they blew me off. They said that this was probably condensation which is normal. The quantity of ice and water is not just condensation. I sent them photos to show the problem. When I bought the shelter from [redacted] I bought it to keep the contents DRY. It is to wet to work in.Desired Settlement: Replacement with something that stays dry. Someone to do the work of installing the cover as I have Heart problems and it was difficult for me to build the first time.

Business

Response:

It was my pleasure speaking with you by telephone today. As we discussed, your warranty claim was originally reviewed in January and, at that time, we determined the moisture in your shelter was caused by condensation. We emailed you with options to prevent excess moisture in your shelter. Per your request, your warranty claim has been reviewed again by our Warranty and Engineering Departments. Based on our conversations and the pictures that you provided, we have concluded that the moisture is caused by condensation. Below are a few suggestions on how to help prevent this: 1. An inexpensive tarp to put on the ground to stop moisture from coming up and creating a “greenhouse effect”. 2. Purchasing a vent kit (our part number is [redacted]) which is installed at the peak of each end panel to allow air to pass through. 3. Putting a bucket of charcoal briquettes or rock salt inside the unit to absorb moisture. This will help stop excessive moisture for building up inside your unit. Since you are currently not with the shelter, you will try these solutions in April and contact me with an outcome. In the meantime, if you have any other questions or concerns please call or email me directly. We appreciate you as our customer and choosing ShelterLogic for your shelter needs. Sincerely,[redacted] Director, Customer Service P [redacted] C [redacted]

Consumer

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. Sincerely,

[redacted] I am not convinced the quantity of water is condensation. I will be back in [redacted] in April and see how much it leaks when it is raining. I have two rain gages one inside one out for comparison.

Review: On 08/31/14, I purchased product #[redacted], which was a [redacted] shelter that was advertised as being 24’ long, 13’ wide, and 10’ tall. The item was purchased to house a full-size pickup truck with [redacted] mirrors and a snowplow consisting of a 10’ wide X 31.5” tall blade. The shelter was assembled over and around the plow and its stop.

The only reason for choosing this product over others was because of the advertised width and price.

The vendor did admit that ShelterLogic’s quality control is poor, at best, and that he would replace all defective parts, as he finds himself frequently doing. The item I purchased was defective.

The tubular components were not uniform in their curvatures and I was unable to ascertain which rib components were the faulty ones, since templates were not included in the kit. The main cover was approximately 20’ in length (about 4’ short), which the vendor replaced and admitted that I wasn’t the only customer who encountered this same issue. In fact, the same complaints were noted in the online reviews and the Revdex.com complaints section on ShelterLogic. He also stated that the advertised dimensions are often incorrect.

Their marketing photographs alluded to the doors being rolled up, but the rollup devices weren’t included in the kit. I subsequently learned, from ShelterLogic’s customer service, that I would have to pay over $100, including shipping, for $10 worth of materials, if I wanted a roll-up kit.

When the shelter was assembled, with the aid of four helpers who also read the assembly instructions, the outside width was roughly 11.5’ (1.5’ short) at ground level. I was unable to drive the truck into the shelter unless I got out of the truck, loosened the mirrors with a wrench, and folded them in. Once the truck was inside the shelter, I was unable to open the doors sufficiently to exit out of the truck. The back end piece and cover sagged between the ribs, in spite of being tightened to their maximum extent. It appears that I’ll be unable to extract the plow from the shelter, without dragging the gravel out. That is, if the plow were raised to the appropriate height for ground clearance, the blade would strike the ribs. But according to my calculations, that wouldn’t occur if the width were 13’, as advertised.

On 09/08/14, I called customer service and spoke with [redacted] who not only lacked interpersonal and problem solving skills, but also was unfamiliar with the product and refused to completely listen to the issues I had encountered. Instead, she kept interrupting me by reading canned excuses that had absolutely nothing to do with the problems at hand. It was obvious that she was tired of repeatedly hearing the same complaints. I was also disappointed in the way she talked down to me as if I were too obtuse to use a measuring tape. She stated that the advertised dimensions, to include those on the instruction manual and what was printed on the exterior of the cartons, were incorrect. She also falsely accused me of not assembling the shelter on level ground. Even if the ground weren’t level, that still wouldn’t account for the gross deviation.

I then asked to speak to an engineer who could identify where the problem lied: false advertising or inferior components in the kit. Instead, she became overbearing, rude, and then hung up the phone on me.

I admit that, after reading the online reviews about ShelterLogic, and being cognizant of the fact that they are a low-quality company that produces low-quality products, I was taking a risk that was justified by the price. I wasn’t expecting a well-engineered product, but I also wasn’t expecting such shoddy manufacturing and inferior quality control. I simply wanted a shelter that was 13’ wide.Desired Settlement: For now, all I’m asking is for an engineer to e-mail me and provide me with his or her direct e-mail address. I will e-mail photographs of the shelter directly to the engineer so that the engineer can ascertain where the problem lies or if they are guilty of false advertising. I do not wish to go through a third party or their customer service, again. My e-mail address is [redacted].

If in the event the engineer asserts that the assembled width should have been 13’ and is able to identify which parts are defective, then I will expect replacement parts shipped to me at ShelterLogic’s expense plus $400 to cover my handyman’s invoice for labor. If the engineer is unable to ascertain where the fault lies, then I will accept a settlement of half of what I paid for the kit, which comes to $329.50 ($659.00/2 = $329.50). I will apply the funds to modify the shelter, which includes parts from a hardware store and my handyman’s labor.

Response:

We are very sorry that you weren't satisfied with your shelter. As we discussed over the phone, we take much pride in providing quality products to our customers and we want you to be satisfied. The product you purchased should match the specifications on our box because we would not want to mislead you. Our [redacted] has contacted you to discuss the assembly and parts of the shelter.

Response:

“Dear Mr. [redacted],

Thank you for your e-mail and concern.

I have attached one picture and will e-mail twelve more pictures within six more e-mails. Please note that in spite of the irregular curvature of the pieces, they are not sufficient to dramatically change the overall dimensions.

Our attempts at modifying the structure, failed, and we have reversed our procedure without affecting the shelter’s original design, as I have received it. On another note, as temperatures have decreased and the structure has settled, so has the width of the structure. I had no choice but to extract the 10’ plow which rubbed against the ribs on the way out. When I attempted to insert the plow, the tips of the wings tore the front cover. Clearly, this structure is not 13’ wide, as advertised.

Thank you,

[redacted]

Please note that two of the pictures, taken during the assembly phase, depict the plow against the back cover and serves as evidence that the width of the shelter is not 13’ as advertised. The plow is 10’ wide and the pictures clearly reveal 9” of clearance on each side, for a total width of 11’ 6”.

Response:

Mr. [redacted],

You did have communication with our [redacted]. After reviewing the pictures to your shelter, we did find that there was a manufacturing defect and the size is incorrect. As we have discussed, we make every effort to ensure that all are products are represented correctly and are accurate dimensions. We would still like to discuss a solution that is satisfactory to you. We have attempted to call you to find a resolution. Please call our Customer Service [redacted] at ###-###-####, at your earliest convenience.

Response:

We do value you as a customer and strive for one call resolution. We attempted to resolve this situation with you during our first telephone conversation and regretfully an agreement was not reached. The solution that you suggest is certainly something we will gladly accommodate for you. We will ship a replacement shelter to you and also include an accessory of a [redacted]. We hope this serves to compensate you for your time and the inconvenience you experienced. There would be no need for you to send back your current shelter.

Honesty and integrity are very important to us and we would never intentionally mislead you or any of our customers. We do have a quality assurance program to ensure we provide superior products to our customers. We sincerely apologize that your shelter was not the correct dimensions. We have many satisfied customers and truly want you to be one also. We will follow up with you by email to make certain you are satisfied once you receive your shelter and accessory.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact our Customer Service [redacted], ###-###-#### or by email at [redacted].

Consumer

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is not completely satisfactory to me. However, in light of ShelterLogic's poor reputation, and being anxious to put this matter behind me, I will accept their counteroffer of settlement. But I do ask that ShelterLogic verify that the replacement unit is of the dimensions they allege in their advertising.

Sincerely,

Review: I purchased a 12x12 Shelter Logic canopy at [redacted] in May 2013. Upon opening the product and attempting to use it in July 2013, I discovered that the cover had a hole in it. The packaging was in tact and it appeared that the damage occurred at the factory prior to packaging. I went through Shelter Logic's website to attempt to contact them regarding a replacement or patch kit for the small hole. Because we needed the canopy that weekend, we decided to use it with the small hole, because it was better than not having one at all. It rained, and we discovered that the entire canopy leaked at all of the seams. I never received a response from the company, but I DID receive several advertising emails each week. I emailed them again in October requesting an immediate response, and this got their attention. I sent the photos of the damaged cover. The Shelter Logic representative stated that they needed the part number for the canopy cover in order to replace it. I searched through the part numbers on their website, but was unable to locate my canopy there. I told them that, and they told me that I would have to get the number off the tag on the inside of the cover. By that time, the canopy was in the back of our garage, boxed in by several antique cars which were stored for the winter with the batteries disconnected. Since I made contact with Shelter Logic within the warranty timeframe, I was under the impression that getting the number once the cars could be moved would be fine. This spring, when the weather broke, I was able to get the number off the cover. They are now telling me that it is out of warranty (90 days) and that they do not have parts for it and I would have to go through the store where I purchased it. Shelter Logic ignored my original request until after the warranty period had passed. I do not feel that I should be held liable for damage at the factory, because they didn't respond to the original request in time.Desired Settlement: Either a replacement cover should be supplied, or compensation to purchase an entire new unit at the current price ($249.99).

Business

Response:

We value you as a customer and strive to provide quality and timely service to all our customers. I apologize that our customer service did not meet your expectations. We would like to find a solution for you. We have attempted to contact you by telephone and email. We look forward to speaking with you very soon.

I bought a "garage in a box" from Shelter Logic. The product has a zipper issue. I contacted Shelter Logic's customer service via phone, was asked to submit pictures and email the issue to a representative. I did those things, and the representative got things all mixed up so I emailed again to clarify the issue, then waited ONE WEEK and did not even get an acknowledgement. Even if nothing could have been done, well, they could have replied to the email! I am blown away that a company who seemingly makes decent products cannot spend the time to email their customers back. I would rather deal with a lesser quality product than with people who ignore my questions!

Review: I purchased a shelter logic product that lasted only 2 seasons before it collapsed. When I approached them about a possible replacement they contend it was the severe winter that caused the problem and this was not a quality issue. I feel that the company is hiding behind their very brief warranty and severe weather claim. I do not feel this was an act of nature, but rather a poor quality issue. I have another garage is the box in my backyard now for over 8 years without incident. We did not have a severe winter other than the cold and although it may look like there was too much snow on top of the shelter the reality is once it collapsed snow started accumulating on the structures now flattened roof. I cannot afford to spend $400 every 2 seasons, not withstanding the time involved to build this structure. No other surrounding neighbors "Garage in a box" collapsed this winter. That said I am not satisfied and would like to request a replacement. This would go a long way in restoring my faith in that brand.Desired Settlement: I would like a full replacement shelter or the part needed to fix the existing shelter

Business

Response:

You are important to us and we are disappointed that the shelter you purchased did not meet your expectations. At ShelterLogic, we take pride in the products we offer and apply much effort that they are strong quality. The life expectancy of our shelters are affected by application, location and the physical elements the shelter is exposed to. We have had many phone conversations with you, and although you are several months past your warranty period, we offered you a 30% discount on replacement parts or a replacement shelter. We value you as our customer and would like to restore your faith in our products. If you would like to place an order or discuss this further, please call us at ###-###-####. Thank you.

Review: 10003331

I am rejecting this response because: I have called the company no less than 4 times to try and resolve without success. This recent response seems like a canned response that does not even begin to acknowledge my last response or tell me who specifically I should speak with and at what extention they can be reached. I am not interested in the offer of 30% off a new unit, especially considering their prices are about 30-40% above retail prices, plus paying an additional $100.00 for shipping. I am not interested in hearing about their more expensive sheds (some costing as much as $1000.00 all of which they contend come with better warrantys, excluding weather related damage. If they are willing to accomodate my original request to replace the unit or replace the parts needed to fix my existing shelter I would be happy to call anyone they wish and I would consider this matter closed. thank you

Review: Purchased a run in horse shelter. It collapsed and regardless of the 1 year warranty offered, they will not replace my structure. I was told by Ann Lineweber, Customer Service Representative, that their product is not intended to shelter animals from bad weather.Desired Settlement: I would like a full refund of the structure and shipping cost

Business

Response:

We sincerely apologize that you were not fully satisfied with your purchase from ShelterLogic. As our customer, you are very important to us and we make every effort to meet the needs of our customers. You are correct that you do have a warranty for the Run-In Shelter that you purchased. We see that you originally purchased a shelter in June of 2013 and we did replace it for you in July of 2013 due to a collapse. At that time, we determined that the incident was covered under your warranty. When you contacted us again due to an incident in November of 2013, you did have conversations with our Warranty department and due to the fact that you advised us that you experience wind gusts of 40-50 mph where your shelter is anchored, this damage was not covered under your warranty. Because all of our products are not engineered buildings they can not be wind rated. Anchoring the shelter securely is critical to wind resistance. If extremely high winds or storms are predicted the structure can be dismantled and stored. However, we do offer custom Pre Engineered Barn and Engineered Structures that carry a wind rating when properly anchored. An Engineered Structure may be a better option for you and our warranty department did discuss this with you.

If you would like to purchase an Engineered Structure, please contact me directly and we can discuss the options available to find a solution for your needs.

Sincerely,

ShelterLogic Corp.

Review: 9[redacted]

I am rejecting this response because:

Right out of box, found slant leg sport canopy product to be poorly constructed. Attempted to set up per instructions and two gemels broke upon expanding. Since it was over a year since purchase, knew it was out of warranty. Called customer support (sic) and only help I got was offer to sell me new canopy. Sent email asking about gemel replacement and have yet after a month to hear anything. Customer support is as weak as this canopy. Poor customer service and even more poor product. Will never buy again.

Review: After receiving stellar recommendations from the sale representative, I purchased a Shelter Logic winter garage model 62799 at my local Canadian Tire. I specifically asked the sale representative if the garage would be appropriate for the winter we have here and was told that it was their best garage and that they never had a return. In retrospect, I should have never have trusted the sales representative as it is now clearly obvious (from all the online reviews of the product and similar incidents) that this winter garage is of the lowest possible quality.Once I arrived home; the quality of the product inside the box was indeed extremely low with only the cheapest components possible. The installation was cumbersome with several steps requiring the undoing of previous steps.First mistake; I thought I would give it a chance. I installed the garage following all instructions. This winter garage only came with 4 auger type of anchors which is clearly inadequate as the middle sections are free to fly up under the lightest of wind conditions. Inside the manual they state:"Anchors included with your shelter provide for safe anchoring. For best results Shelter Logic recommends one anchor at each leg."Clearly, the other anchors are absolutely required for a safe install and this is a marketing ploy to be able to sell the garage at a lower price point while forcing the customer to shell out more for the most critical parts necessary for safety (anchors).I left the garage as is that night and when I came back in the morning all anchors had failed, my car was savagely destroyed for more than 3000$. I was furious and contacted both Canadian Tire and Shelter Logic to return this mediocre product which did not include appropriate anchoring. The requirement for additional anchoring was never discussed AT ANY POINT by the sales representative NOR is it indicated on the box. Both parties said that the fine prints dictate that It's my fault and that I should have purchased additional anchors.Desired Settlement: I want the company to acknowledge that they willingly withhold the most fundamental anchoring equipment needed for a safe install and that the product that they sell is inadequate. I want to be reimbursed in full. This product should have one anchor per feet as well as overhead streamers that hold it down - And it would not be expensive.Removing the BASIC safety anchors from the box and only leaving a note inside the box that it's the customers responsibility to purchase them is ridiculous.

Response:

Jean Le Bouthillier,

I am truly sorry that you were not satisfied with the product you purchased. We make every effort to provide you the best quality product to meet your individual needs. We provide temporary anchors with our shelters because it depends on your soil conditions and where and how you are using your shelter to determine the best type of anchor for you. This anchor guide can be located on our website :http://www.shelterlogic.com/userfiles/documents/anchor_guide.pdf. We also have many videos to assist you in setting up your shelter on our website. I have tried to contact you by telephone to discuss this further and left you a voicemail I would like the opportunity to come up with a solution that will be suitable for you to help repair your faith in our product and company. Please call me directly and I look forward to hearing from you.

Review: We purchased one of there shed-in-a-box storage model 70465 which say it it 6footx6footx6foot. It is only 6foox6footx4foot. It say on the box, the manual, and there advertisement 6x6x6. Any building dimension is lenght of building, width of building, and sidewall height. This is a very false advertisement. If we had none it was not six foot high we would not have bought it.Desired Settlement: Change there false advertising and a ajustment on price.

Business

Response:

Thank you for purchasing our product and we appreciate your feedback. We make every effort to ensure that our packaging and advertising has correct dimensions. The height of the building is measured at the center point and not the sidewall. You are correct that the sidewall is a little over 4 feet in height. We have reviewed our packaging and verified that it is accurate. Please see the attached document that shows a portion of the box. If you are looking for a different size shelter, we do offer many different options.

Christine Harvey No, I feel that my proposal of 250.00 is a fair reason for all the problem

Review: A few years ago I made an on-line purchase of a $300 Shelter Logic tent with a double zipper opening, that I use as a greenhouse. Neither of the two zippers has ever worked well from the very first use. I tried slathering bar soap on the teeth, but that, of course, did little to make the slide easier.

I write this with the caution of buyer beware on any of their products with zippers.

Another issue has also developed over the time of use of this product: A little reinforcement on the areas where the metal frame meets the plastic cover should have been included as part of the structure of the product. Instead, with no reinforcement of any kind, natural, and expected, wind movement, has caused holes to develop where metal frame meets plastic cover. I cover those holes with plastic sealing tape - not something that should even be necessary to do.

I write this with the caution of buyer beware on any of their products that lack reinforcement.Desired Settlement: Refund or replacement.

Review: In December 2014 I contacted Shelter Logic By phone as to the problem I was having with A Product I had purchased in November that I just put up. I put up Model # [redacted] or #[redacted] the box did not say which model it was, and the cover had many little slits in it and per the paper in the box it states not to return it to the store, contact them. So I Did that and spoke to [redacted] in December around the 18th and she gave me her e-mail address to send her pictures of the holes and my proof of purchase followed by my name, address then another e-mail asked me for the model # and my phone number. I still have the e-mails. We e-mailed each other from Dec 18 till the 21st and I waited figured it probably would take some time, on Jan 24 2015 I e-mailed [redacted] to ask when I would receive the replacement cover. I never hear back from anyone. I contacted the Company I bought the shed from and explained what had happened and if I could return it to them, They have a 30 day return policy and they said they would see if they could do anything, but they were unable. Shelter Logic Failed on their Warranty of their product and their customer service.Desired Settlement: Since I am unable to return the item do to their mishandling.

filed. There is a one year warranty on your shed and the cost for a

replacement cover kit for your shed is $139.99.

Review: I purchased a Shelter Logic Shelter on September 20th of this year. I was told at the time or purchase that it would ship as a partial order, the shelter structure would arrive first and the cover would arrive three to four weeks later. After four weeks, I have sent a number of emails to inquire as to the status of the cover delivery. I have repeatedly been told that it is in process and that there is nothing that I can do to accelerate the delivery. It has been almost seven weeks since the order was placed. I spoke [redacted]" at Shelter Logic today and she told me that they are still behind with production and that they may be able to ship the cover in about four more weeks. I find this completely unacceptable. I dont think that they should have accepted the order initially without telling me that the order would not be fulfilled in its entirety as expected. I placed the order and paid for it in full. This is their typical business practice. I can tell you that if I were to place another duplicate order today, it would be handled in the same way. They would accept the order and not tell me that the order would be split. I would receive the frame and then have to wait ten weeks to receive the cover. It is very difficult to get them on the phone and when I have been successful, they have been very rude and hard to deal with.Desired Settlement: I am at their mercy. I have already erected the frame. It is completely useless without the cover. I need the cover. I would like the Revdex.com's assistance in helping me to get Shelter Logic to complete the order as promised and expected. I am tired of waiting and getting the run-around. Please help me to understand what I should do next. Thanks - Ron Frohock

Response:

I am replying in reference to Complaint #[redacted] for Mr. Frohock:

Mr. Frohock had communication with our Executive Assistant to the President of ShelterLogic. We apologized for the delay in his order and any confusion. We spoke with production and assured him that his cover will be completed by Friday of this week. We thanked him for his patience also.

Please advise Mr. Frohock again that we sincerely apologize for the delay on his order and appreciate him doing business with ShelterLogic. It is our intention that he is completely satisfied with his shelter and value him as our customer.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Review:

Although I appreciate the response that you have provided , I have been told repeatedly that the cover would ship only to find that it was further delayed.

Review: In June of 2011 I purchased a 20' W x 20' L x 15' H Barn Style Portable ShelterLogic garage with upgraded 14.5 oz Industrial cover through Portable Garage Depot (online merchant for ShelterLogic). The upgraded industrial cover was an additional $700.00 and came with a 10 year mfr warranty. Fast forward to March 2013 and the zipper on one side of the industrical cover's door end has failed. I emailed Portable Garage Depot regarding this issue. I was promptly contacted back and asked to send photos which I did. I was then informed that it seems like the zipper failed "way before it's normal life span" and was told that my info had been sent onto ShelterLogic's warranty dept. I was contacted a couple days later by [redacted] of ShelterLogic's warranty dept. I was asked to fill out a warranty claim form and once they received the form they would process my claim. Approx. a week later I was informed my warranty had been received and approved and under the 10/3 year proration my cost for a new end panel was 33% of said end panel for a cost of $161.80 (this cost included shipping). I'm very disturbed by this. No where's during my purchase of this product was I told that it was not in fact a 10 year warranty but was in fact a prorated warranty. Or even that it was a 10/3 warranty. I feel very cheated and would never have purchased this product knowing this was what the warranty actually was. I feel this warranty was misrepresented.

Product_Or_Service: Barn Style Portable Garage

Order_Number: 3791

Desired Settlement: DesiredSettlementID: Replacement

I would like to reimbursed for the $161.80 dollars I just spent on a new end panel zippered door. Which should have been under warranty especially since it failed way before it's normal life span and failed all on it's own.

On 5/3/11 Ms. [redacted] purchased her shelter from Portable Garage Depot who is one of our dealers. Ms. [redacted] purchased a Galvanized shelter in heavy duty fabric which entitles her to a 10/3 pro-rated warranty. At point of sale, the pro-rated warranty is explained to all customers, and there is also a copy of the warranty card included with the unit upon delivery. A 10/3 pro-rated warranty includes a 10 year pro-rated warranty on the cover and a 3 year pro-rated warranty on the end panels and frame. On March 20th. 2013 Ms. [redacted] submitted a warranty claim with Shelterlogic. We then asked Ms. [redacted], as per policy, to fill out a warranty claim form and submit a photo or two of the end panel for our records. Once we received requested documentation we approved Ms. [redacted] warranty and advised that under her pro-rated warranty a total of $161.80 was due including shipping. On 3/19/13 Ms. [redacted] called in to place her order for her zippered end panel and paid the amount due of $161.80 with her credit card. I am a little confused as to why Ms. [redacted] is asking for a refund on monies paid on her end panel when our pro-rated policy was explained at point of sale, a copy of the pro-rated warranty was included with her unit, and again the pro-rated warranty was explained when her warranty was submitted to Shelterlogic. This end panel sells for $435.00 plus shipping, but under the pro-rated warranty Ms. [redacted] was only responsible for $143.55 plus shipping.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT ACCEPT the response from the business.)

What Ms. [redacted] says is untrue. At no point during the sale transaction was I informed this was a pro rated warranty. I have all my paperwork to prove this. Also said warranty card she refers to does not state this warranty is pro rated. The words pro rated are never used. I also have a copy of said warranty card as proof. I'm also not sure where Ms. [redacted] is getting her info as what she is saying above is untrue. On March 26th, 2013 I received an email from [redacted] of their warranty dept saying my claim was accepted and that is when I was informed of that the warranty was pro rated. On March 27th, 2013 I responded back to [redacted] a complaint about this and that I felt I was being ripped off by them and would be contacting the Revdex.com about this. I never heard a word back from [redacted]. As for why I paid for the panel simple I have over $1000.00 worth of horse hay in this barn which was getting ruined due to the failed zipper letting the rain in. Was I supposed to wait months for Shelter Logic to respond to my complaint while my hay was getting ruined. Was I supposed to ask Shelter Logic to pay for the hay this failed zipper ruined? Would be nice for them to replace the hay as well but as you can see they are not being a reputable company. I still request reimbursement for the amount I paid for the door replacement. Again never once was it stated in any of my paperwork that this warranty was pro rated. Heck I had to have assembly directions emailed to me once I got the original parts since they never came with this product.

Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2013/05/14) */

Good afternoon,

Shelterlogic would love to come to a resolution to the above mentioned issue. In Ms. [redacted]'s response she stated there nowhere on the Warranty Card is it listed that Ms. [redacted]'s warranty is pro-rated. Shelterlogic sends out our 10/3 Prorated Warranty Card with any merchandise purchased in our Heavy Duty or PVC Material. Ms. [redacted] purchased a Galvanized Building in our Heavy Duty Fabric. If Ms. [redacted] could please scan a copy of the warranty card she received from Shelterlogic to [redacted] that would be greatly appreciated. If in fact Ms. [redacted] somehow did receive the 1 year warranty in error, Shelterlogic would be happy to refund her $161.80 that she spent on her end panel.

Regards,

Manager, Customer Service

Consumer Response /* (3000, 13, 2013/06/03) */

I have sent a copy of the warranty card to [redacted]

as requested. That was several weeks ago. Still have not received a response.

Business Response /* (1000, 23, 2013/06/18) */

The Warranty Department did in fact receive a photograph copy of Ms. [redacted]'s portion of the Warranty Card that she filled out. We received this on the 31st of May. The portion that Ms. [redacted] sent was only half of the Warranty Card. The other half that was not sent was the portion that explained Shelterlogics 10/3 pro-ration. It is evident that Ms. [redacted] sent one portion of one side of the Warranty Card, and one portion of the other side. The Photograph that was sent was not the entire card, and only a portion. [redacted] emailed Ms. [redacted] on June 5th our 10/3 Warranty Card to illustrate what the entire card looks like.

As stated in my first response, Shelterlogic will be happy to refund Ms. [redacted] the $161.80 she has paid for her pro-rated warranty as soon as we receive her warranty card in its entirety.

Shelterlogic is willing to provide a copy of our Warranty Card, (10/3) and also provide a photograph on the Warranty Card that was sent by Ms. [redacted]. It is evident when you compare the two, that Shelterlogic only received a portion of the Warranty Card back from Ms. [redacted]. The portion that was not sent is the portion that describes our 10/3 proration.

Consumer Response /* (3000, 25, 2013/06/25) */

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT ACCEPT the response from the business.)

This is getting ridiculous. Mrs. [redacted] makes no sense. A warranty card is only 2 sided. I sent her each side of the warranty card I received at the time of purchase. I will repeat again that I never received anything other than the warranty card which I sent Mrs. [redacted] and [redacted]. I received nothing else like they are describing other than the warranty card. I will gladly send the Revdex.com a copy of the warranty card I received at the time of purchase.

I would like to request someone from the Revdex.com to step in as Mrs. [redacted] makes no sense and is trying to say I received something I did not. I'm getting frustrated with Mrs. [redacted] tactics and falsehoods.

Business Response /* (4000, 27, 2013/07/11) */

I completely agree with Ms. [redacted] in her rebuttal dated 6/25/13 stating that a "Warranty Card is only two sided. What I am trying to convey is that Ms. [redacted] only sent the right hand side of the front of the Warranty Card (omitting the left hand side) and left hand side of the back of the Warranty Card (omitting the right hand side)therefore only submitting half of the card. I have attached a link as a visual, so that you can see what I am describing.

The portion of the 10/3 Limited Warranty/Product Registration Card that Ms. [redacted] sent to us does not describe our 10/3 Prorated Warranty. The section that we do not have states to "please save for your records" That portion fully describes our 10/3 Warranty. Our Warranty Card is designed to be cut in half. One half for our customers records and the other half to be sent in to Shelterlogic at the time of purchase to register the product. I believe the link submitted will clarify any questions. Shelterlogic is a respectable business with a reputation for excellent Customer Service.

Review: I placed an order on June 29 for a 16x8 quick screen. I received a follow up email thanking me for the order and providing me a conf number. I called the company on July 11 to inquire on the status of the shipment as based on their website I should have gotten it by now. I found out that the item is discontinued and would have just sat in a pending status with no follow up to me. When I asked for a call back from a manager as this was not acceptable, I need this screen for a party in 2 weeks and would not have know had I not called, I was told that the request would be put to a manager, but she is busy in meetings so it could be awhile for the return call. I'm unhappy with the contact provided by the company regarding an out of stock never to be provided again item. The item is listed as available on the website, so the accuracy of the web is not good. I never received anything, phone call, email or anything to advise that the screen is not ever coming. Now I'm left to scramble for this item. I just want this on their record as I wouldn't want anyone else to have the same issue when they need something! The lack of customer care is unacceptable. Thank you.Desired Settlement: There really isn't anything that can be done at this point. Just want my complaint on file and the company should know where they are lacking. I will NOT recommend this company to anyone because of this issue.

Review: After buying and assembling a temporary shelter from ShelterLogic, approximately 1 year and a half later, The carport collapsed under it's own weight on my 2013 sports car. I noticed the customer service department requesting some restitution on their part. I was completely ignored by 2 of their service reps [redacted]. 22 emails later with me having to send 2, weeks apart to get any response, I decided to post a complaint and notify their supervisor, [redacted] whom I will be speaking with shortly.The damage and personal losses of this event were enormous and I had simply asked for a 1/3 refund of my purchase price of $425 and met with months of "maybe"'s and "let's fill out some forms and see" I am fed up with their service and with the situation where I was unable to get anyone's attention long enough to get a direct answer.One of the reps told me at one point they were aware of a flaw in the metal frame and had begun shipping newer models with a "strong" frame.I believed the carport would be sufficient to hold itself upright but after the trauma caused by finding my new car very damaged and then dealing with their customer service I would never recommend this product.Desired Settlement: I would like to see the refund for the price of the frame which I had asked for.

Business

Response:

I attempted to contact Mr. Berera to discuss a solution and left a voicemail message. I am currently awaiting a return phone call.

Review: I purchased a [redacted],For a once a year family reunion so I did not open it right away. I tried to set it up at our family reunion 11 months later we found that there were 2 top rafter tubes and 1 top cross rails that were the wrong ones.I contacted the company for new parts I received them 3 weeks later.I started to put the shelter up again, this time I found out that 3 of the side bend connectors and 1 for the top bend connectors were welded nearly 20 degrees wrong and I also had another top cross rail that was shipped wrong. This time when I called they wanted to charge me shipping because I had had the canopy for over 1 year but after a lot of discussion they decided not to charge me shipping, but said it was going to be 4 -6 weeks before I received the parts. I do not believe this is in a timely manor and they do not have any quality control at all,I could see 1 or 2 mistakes in a package but 8 wrong or miss welded parts for 1 canopy is really bad. When I asked why so long to get the parts they said they were on back order, I asked if they had another canopy they said yes but they could not get the parts from there or would not send me out a new canopy.Desired Settlement: To have this taken care of in a timely manor, and hopefully have them improve there quality control for the next customer.
