Site Experience FeedbackJun 11, 2025
This is intended as constructive feedback. My goal is to build a positive, long-term relationship with eTrailer. I’m taking the time to share this because I believe it can benefit not only myself, but eTrailer and others in similar positions.
One recurring challenge I’ve faced is the listing of items that appear to be in stock but are not available for immediate shipment. Too often, I shop on the site excited I found what I needed at a reasonable price only to discover that the item won’t ship for two or more weeks. In today’s “Amazon world,” customer expectations for availability and transparency are much higher. I do not expect eT to flash a warning were selling this but we won’t buy it until you give us the money or we have a big order coming but it won’t ship for another week.
Until now, eTrailer has managed to overcome these issues with outstanding customer service. That’s what has kept me coming back.
However, today’s experience was different. I contacted support regarding a replacement for a Coleman air conditioner, using the Coleman model number as a reference. I was provided with a Furrion option, which I later discovered is a 15,000 BTU unit—larger than the original 13,500 BTU—and not a direct replacement in size or fit.
When I asked about the differences, I was told that eTrailer’s system doesn’t allow customer service reps to perform a detailed comparison or search. From my perspective as a former business owner, it seems like your reps are working with limited tools—likely entering a product number and reading back what the system offers, without being empowered to explain whether it’s a match, substitute, or upgrade.
To be clear, I don’t believe the representative was unprofessional. They simply weren’t equipped to deliver the high standard of service I’ve come to expect. In fact, prior experiences with your team have been exceptional. With that said, my previous eT customer service experiences have been stellar, and somehow those representatives have been able to overcome any/all obstacles.
Despite this, I still completed a purchase from the cart I had already prepared. That speaks to the trust you've built with me over time.
I sincerely hope this feedback helps strengthen your service model. Best of luck to the eTrailer team—I look forward to continued improvements and doing more business with you in the future.
Best regards,
Kevin
