LrgMouthCatcha Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 I ordered carpet for my Procraft bassboat from Bass Pro Shops at the beginning of November. I did this because Tracker retails for Procraft and they could get me the exact color, weight, everything! It is now the end of January and I have still not received the carpet - everytime I call they say "We will look into it and call you back." I never get calls back. I asked for BPS gift cards for Christmas to help pay for the carpet (otherwise I would have already gone somewhere else). I've never had a problem with BPS before. This is getting very frustrating > - what would you do???? Thanks Quote
bassmedic46 Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 I've never had a issue with Bass Pro. Have always been good to me. I guess you could call and ask for a manager. Quote
jimmieO Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 man....i've never ordered marine carpet before, but anything that takes 3 months.........hmmmm.... I would probably not let anyone tell me "we'll get back to you anymore," especially since it sounds like they aren't getting back to you...manager is a good route. Get a firm date on when you should receive it, or get your money back and go somewhere else. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 27, 2009 Super User Posted January 27, 2009 I've never had a issue with Bass Pro. Have always been good to me. I guess you could call and ask for a manager. Be sure to write down the names of everyone you talk with. People tend to pay attention when they are "on record". Good luck, this really shouldn't happen. BPS customer service is one of the best. I have dealt with them on occasion without every having an issue of any kind. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 27, 2009 Super User Posted January 27, 2009 Roadwarrior is right on the money. I may go a step further, if you used a credit card for the purchase, dispute the sale, as I'm sure the card has been charged. Visa or mastercard may have better luck getting to the bottom of your dilema. Quote
LrgMouthCatcha Posted January 27, 2009 Author Posted January 27, 2009 I haven't paid for it yet, but friends and family gave me BPS gift cards to go towards the carpet. I can't get cash back to go elsewhere (or I probably already would have) Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted January 27, 2009 Super User Posted January 27, 2009 I assume that you are ordering from one of the retail stores. If so then it is probably the marine accessories department. I'd call and ask for the manager of that department. If he/she isn't in get their name and ask to be transferred to customer services. Tell them your problem and that you want to speak to the accessories dept mgr as soon as that person is next in the store. Leave a number and tell them you expect a call. Also ask for the store general manager's name. Quote
Eddie Munster Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 As RW said, write down everyone's name you speak with. Call again but ask to speak with a manager/supervisor. Quit talking with the flunkies in the trenches. You need resolution not excuses; let them know you are NOT letting them off the phone until you hear it is being shipped that day. Kick some tail and take some names. Quote
LrgMouthCatcha Posted January 27, 2009 Author Posted January 27, 2009 I finally got an email back from the General Manager of Bass Pro Shops. He admitted that they made mistakes and that he has instructed the Tracker Marine seller to sell the carpet to me "at cost" for compensation!! Quote
