Thumbs down Powerballs France delivery problems

Hello,

I ordered my first powerball from the french distributor 3 weeks ago, and i didn't receive it yet.

I called them several times, and the answer is always the same, "it will be sent tomorrow", and still nothing ... Did you guys experience such long delivery delays ?

I don't understand how powerball can work whith such a bad agent in France. The product seems very interesting, but with such long delays and bad communication with the seller i won't buy anymore, and am seriously considering sending back the ball when received.

i don't know if an admin can do something about that, but thanks anyways ...

Cheers

I'm sorry to hear of the problems you are having.

Did you get information regarding lack of stock or was the Powerball simply not sent?

If you can please email your order details to me at enda@powerballs.com I'll establish the problem with them.

With kind regards

Enda

Thank you for your answer Enda.

I have never received a single email from them . I always had to call to have information, which was wrong as they always say "it will be sent tomorrow".

I never got angry on the phone, and always stayed very polite, i just don't understand why they lie to the consumer and give wrong tracking numbers, its not commercial at all ...

I just sent you an e-mail with my order information ... Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
Tekcht

Thumbs down

Actually when I ordered my Powerball Metal on the french website, I waited really long too (>1.5 months).
In my case it was because a lack of stock.
They took pretty long to respond to my email and when they finally answered to me they said they would send me a free leather pouch to excuse the delay.
But when the powerball finally arrived, there wasn't any leather pouch. I wrote them a mail about it but they never answered.

Moreover I have seen quite a lot of people complaining about the service on french powerball forums.

There's a thread of more than 60 pages on the gyrotek forum of customers complaining about the lack of service of the french powerball dealer...

As the main Affiliate of France Powerball, I can tell by seeing the complaints on the Gyrotek Forum that there is a serious problem with them which started a few months ago...

Im even starting to feel bad advising people to buy there...

I would like Powerballs.com to be reopened for France affiliation until this problem is solved.

The customers service here is far ahead in terms of seriousness and speed compared to France Powerball's one.

To the people who bought there, I can only tell you to try to phone them, and really insist until your powerballs arrive!

For those interested here is the french thread on Gyrotek:
