Thruxton & Scrambler (non-gaiter) SuperBrace update

We're currently machining both the #7002 and #7003 that fit the gaiter or non-gaiter SuperBraces that fit the Triumph Bonneville, T-100, Scrambler or Thruxton with a 10 day ETA.

The new #7003 for the non-gaiter Thruxton & Scrambler is highly anticipated, so highly recommend placing your order as soon as possible as our first run is limited and we're almost sold out!

Ride Safe & thanks for the Support,

SuperBrace

Thumbs down Poor Customer Service

A warning for those of you that are interested in purchasing the Thruxton non-gaiter Fork Brace from SuperBrace.

I realize that some of you have had excellent service from this vendor but I have not. I've waited for well over three months for them to produce a non-gaiter version as promised by them. I have also ordered and paid for one as of the 7th of May 2009. I received an email stating that they were on backorder for 7 days and would be shipped immediately upon after the seven day period.

It is now the 3 of June and I've not received so much as a Howdy from them since the original order on the 7th. I've emailed them twice regarding the status, without any return correspondence. I am considering canceling the order because of their poor customer service. Mind you I'm not angry, just very disappointed in a vendor of this site and others should be told the truth of the matter.

It saddens me that I have to report this to the members of this site, especially as I always try to support site vendors with my business. At this point it has been a very poor experience and should be looked upon with some concern by others considering this same purchase. I appreciate that sometimes supply can't meet demand but this is where their customer service should step in and see that the customer is informed and taken care of. This hasn't happened.

To those of you who are considering such a purchase I say to you "caveat emptor", from a dissatisfied customer. Very poor service SuperBrace, very poor indeed.

Please note the most recent email correspondence.

Hello,

I'm once again asking when I can expect the delivery of my purchased brace. I've written you twice now without a response. It is now the 3rd of June which is well beyond your promised date of delivery. I would seem to me that you'd be interested in insuring that your customers are informed of their orders, especially if you wish to have them remain as customers. I would really hate to have to make a negative thread response at the TriumphRat.net because of your inability to supply as promised. I expect and immediate response and delivery of the product which I've ordered and paid for, no less. It's sad that I have to continue to write you to receive some reply. Balls in your court fellows.

By the way I know you received the last message as I have a receipt that you did.


Cheers


Jeff

Skull Crusher,

The 7 day ETA was the date given to me from my techs however we’ve had some unexpected delays due to our production, 2009 Triumph Bonneville changes and poor economy related delays. I can assure you that our production team is working 6 days a week and 12 hours a day to catch up. We’re currently machining the Suzuki V-strom, Goldwing 1800 SuperBraces along with the Triumph SuperBraces so they should be .

We've also replied to email that you sent us and please follow up there for the most updated response.

Take care and Ride Safe,

I Call No Joy

My last email was yesterday with a read receipt of this morning.

These are excuses not answers. I'm not interested in the Suzuki V-strom, Goldwing 1800 SuperBrace's nor do I care. I have been patient and understanding up to a point.

You should not come here an promise specific dates of delivery if your not prepared to fulfill them. You have still not answered my question as to when I'll receive the product or at all. You stated 10 Day ETA over 4 weeks ago. Your email stated 7 days and it would be billed and shipped. This email is nothing more than another excuse.

Your basis of business is set upon your sale of items which you specify as being available. You mislead potential customers with false advertisement and dates of delivery which you are responsible for and being held accountable for also. You have disregarded my emails and have not provided the product within your specified time frame. Further, you have failed to respond and or follow up with awaiting customers of those products. This is at best poor customer relations. It isn't and shouldn't have to be my responsible to follow up with you. You should be following up with me and informing me of the delays and possible delivery time.

This is what has prompted me to vocalize my disappointment in your lack of prompt service and rightfully so. I've written you here on this site several times with regards to the availability and with your assurance you've mislead me into a purchase that you are not prepared to fulfill. All anyone has to do is read the your correspondence to see that your company is full of excuses, but no answers.

My order was in fact purchased directly from SuperBrace based solely at your promoting and prompting of availablity here. Don't be coy I'm not that gullible.. You are only replying with urgency now because I've put your company in the spotlight with some bad but truthful advertisement. How are you going to satisfy me and rectify the situation? This is a question you still haven't answered. Along with when I can expect delivery? I truely believe that you have a really well engineered and well built product. This is the only reason I've been this patient for so long. You need to seriously put more consideration into your dealings with your customers if you wish to retain them.

Thanks again for your order from SuperBrace. Your order details are listed below:

Jeffrey,
Being in customer service, I truly apologize for the delay as the ETA is something I can not unfortunately change and trust me I want this to ship as much or more than you do. Again, I apologize for the delay as that is completing out of my control. I can assure that as a company, we are working extremely hard through these hard times to continue to produce high quality, American made products. Was your order purchased through SuperBrace directly? If so, you order has not been charged as we bill the day we ship. A negative review doesn’t do anybody any good and that is why I’m replying with urgency.
The 7 day ETA was the date given to me from my techs however we’ve had some unexpected delays due to our production, 2009 Triumph Bonneville changes and poor economy related delays. I can assure you that our production team is working 6 days a week and 12 hours a day to catch up. We’re currently machining the Suzuki V-strom, Goldwing 1800 SuperBraces along with the Triumph SuperBraces so they should be .
Also, you mentioned no responses, when was your last email? The last email on file was May 7th. Did we miss something?
Take care and we can be reached at
info@superbrace.com or customer-service@superbrace.com,

Cheers

A Chance to Make Good

Gentleman, this is your time to shine and make a disappointed customer happy and show others that you are willing to make good on your claims. We often have very little opportunity or chance to do something good and make up for the bad. You have that opportunity now. Well, I await your answer.

Cheers

Thumbs down No Answer and No Confidence

Still no answer to these questions or response to my request. Please gentleman, let's don't dance around the subject. Simple do as I requested.

Thumbs down Very Poor Representation

3:15 your time (considering the time of day.) I'm all ears! Please, don't let me disturb him! You have my response via email. This is surely a demonstration of how inconsequencial my business is to your company. :
