When I first purchased the truck, the incorrect RC vehicle was sent to me. After contacting customer service, I was required to prove that the wrong item was delivered by emailing photos. I was then required to provide proof that I returned the incorrect product, including a copy of the shipping receipt.
I was forced to spend my own time and fuel to correct a mistake that was not mine. This is not acceptable. Your company made the error, and ownership of that mistake should have been handled entirely by Horizon, including return logistics and customer compensation.
There is a significant difference between a Losi 1/12 scale AWD asphalt car and an ARRMA 1/16 scale Mini Kraton. The shipping label applied to the box clearly identified the product, and the shipping box itself was a Losi factory box with product descriptions and advertising printed directly on it. This error should never have occurred, and the associate responsible for fulfilling that order should be coached accordingly.
I only reordered because this was something my grandson has been wanting, and Horizon is essentially the only source for the specific product he wanted. Unfortunately, the lack of a customer service phone number that allows customers to speak to a live person is one of the biggest operational mistakes a company can make. Speaking as someone who earns a couple hundred thousand dollars a year in the customer service industry, I can say with confidence that this creates unnecessary frustration and damages customer trust.
Eventually, I did reach a representative who was extremely helpful and professional. That individual went above and beyond and should absolutely be considered for promotion into a management role. I was offered a $40 coupon as a goodwill gesture, but even that process took approximately 30 minutes to resolve.
Leadership at this company should take an honest and critical look at how poorly this situation was handled from start to finish and take steps to fix it. Customers should never be penalized for internal fulfillment errors.
