There’s nothing WE can do for this gentleman. He knows who to contact. I suggest closing this thread and possibly getting back to talking about how to make things sharp?… Maybe?

Agreed.
02/24/2015 at 6:55 am #23817Regarding below, fair enough and I didn’t see that part. Glad you are working with them; however, I am not sure that will be your quickest remedy vs contacting WE themselves.
Additionally, what came off as very objectionable is the following:
“This is really crap when looking at what you pay for the product and as it stands now I;ll advise anyone looking to buy the product to stay away, it is great for the first three weeks and then you are stuck with your thumb up your ass.”There is just no need for that type of vitriol, especially when you do not have an answer back from the company yet
Hope that clarifies.
so @wepsfIana this means that I contacted the local South African Agent first and explained the issue and sent the photographs. or do I need to attach a small picture to explain the situation here, or are you still following.
In general I do not see it as being unreasonable to expect a 400 USD product not to fall apart after 3 weeks. nor do I see at as poor to taste to highlight the question on a forum such as this one.

I agree… this is not the way to get something accomplished and comes across as very abrasive. While it would be extremely frustrating dealing with everything you have to deal with Albert, why not just pick up the phone and make a phone call to Wicked Edge instead of complaining on a forum? And yes, I did read your entire post… the rest of it is good and informative to see if others have experienced the problems you were experiencing, but when it got to this point it was a complaint when in fact, you should have contacted Wicked Edge to see if they would make it right first.
QC issues are something you must be aware of (dealing in the industry yourself) and these kind of things can be problematic when you live in a foreign country (of course you are aware of that). Before I buy a product, normally, i do extensive researching of both the product and company, and even the local dealer to see if they are jam up people…. I don’t know about your local dealer, but the Wicked Edge team WILL get you taken care of, even if it means $ out of their pocket – they have done it time and time again. But you have to be patient living in another country, which, if that is not something you are willing to be in issues like this then maybe you shouldn’t order something from the states? just a thought.
I have made complaints similar to the one you made above… but when i do it is because the company basically told me to get lost and wouldn’t make the problem right, after I brought it to their attention. You haven’t even given their customer service a chance. This doesn’t have to do with sugar coating anything either… As I stated you could have simply pointed out the problem/facts, without sugar coating it,and requested help or advise.
02/24/2015 at 11:16 am #23822Hi All,
Thanks for the feedback.
The intention was to highlight a frustration but also to try and see if anyone else had similar issues.
If I come across as abrasive, my apologies, yes i’m blunt, yes I call a spade a spade I guess thats just me.
I do not advocate that the manufacturer should pick up cost for shipping,I merely stated I’m in no mood to spend more money or waiting 3,4,5,6 months to have the issue resolved.
To add to my growing frustration after sending another mail to the local dealer asking for a convenient time to drop by I only get a blank mail back.
I agree that after I was really fuming I tend to see a pattern here that I might have the 1/100 with a problem and that everyone on the forum feels strongly about an excellent product backed by company that cares.
Lastly I agree – lets close this thread, Although my frustration levels is really high, I will bite my lip and try to get this resolved.
I will however like to open another thread and ask a few questions hoping that WE representatives would chime in, because as a reseller and technology partner of different technologies and products, If I want to be reseller I have to apply, Send details about my business, sales forecasts, demonstrate my ability to service customers etc. I would like to know how this is done at WE.
All the best.
02/24/2015 at 8:35 pm #23824Before we close the thread, I’d like to jump in. I’m sorry to be coming to the party late, I was out yesterday with a gruesome tooth extraction. Thanks Josh for the heads-up via email and thank you to everyone that jumped on. AlbertV, I’m really sorry to hear about your experience. Can you tell me which of our dealers you purchased from? If they have the parts you need in stock, we’ll make sure they get your swapped out right away and then deal with them. If not, we’ll get you new parts on the way ASAP so that your down time is a minimum. In the interim, you can peel the leather off, scrape out the glue and re-glue the leather in place with hot glue. Your diamond plates will work well for you while you’re waiting. They won’t be perfect, but they’ll still produce great edges if you care to use them. If not, I understand. For any future issues, the guys responding to this thread are right – please contact us directly right away and we’ll do everything we can to take care of you.
