Re: Brothers strikes again
I waited 6 weeks for a carpet kit only to find out they drop ship about everything. Went in for a transfercase shift boot and retaining ring and wasn't in stock. Went in for a set of carpeted kick panels, not in stock. Went in for a set of carpeted lower door panels. guess what? NOT IN STOCK. I had a plastic dash pad from them that cracked in several places after installed and looks as bad as the dash it is covering. All in all Not my favorite store but better quality on items than LMC. I prefer classic parts to Brothers anyday which is sad because i am so local to Brothers. Heck Corona is my home town.

Re: Brothers strikes again
Looks like theyre a vendor here but do not address these issues. I swore I would never purchase anything from them. I also will discourage anyone I know from ordering from them just because of this thread.

Re: Brothers strikes again
I like the supprt and show Brothers offers the community....
Every time I have been there they are knowlegable and very friendly so I would never have a complaint. With that said I think there computer system or tracking system is flawed....I have been there a couple times and I will make sure they pull the part befor I buy it. A couple months ago I went in and bought some parts that they had in stock only to be told that there are no more in the box when they went to grab them. It wasn't a big deal but I did pay for 3 (minor) items that they didn't have for a couple weeks. |
Re: Brothers strikes again
Well I just got my money back from brothers. I ordered a dash pad April 2 and I just finally ask for my money back today after waiting all that time for my part to come in. Never again will I order from brothers:mad:.

Re: Brothers strikes again

Tailgate Kit on back order. No credit to my CC they have to send out a check. Oh wait they did send out the check but I never got it! They cant do a stop payment/ Hhmmm Odd!

Re: Brothers strikes again
I wish I had seen this before I put in an order...... I have e-mailed and no response. I will try the 800 number tomorrow. A little communication would go along way towards customer service.
|
Re: Brothers strikes again
Yea they are messing up my order right now as we speak. Straight bold face lied to me on May 5th that they would send my bumper. Then again on May 9th. Then I call today May 17th and the same story STILL HAVENT SHIPPED IT. I swear some people are idiots.
|
Re: Brothers strikes again
I got an e-mail from them a few minutes ago and they said they would ship out what they had in stock today and the rest in 5 to 7 days. I will post on here when I get them.
|
Re: Brothers strikes again
Mikey Id go ahead and get a refund. They gave me the same exact story 4 emails later, 2 calls later, and it still was not shipped.

Re: Brothers strikes again
John, do you get the feeling that something is wrong in the customer service department at Brothers... seriously. Is there anything being done to correct any of these issues?
I still cant even get a catalog. You do sell parts that I want. I would never order them again but would have my nephew pick them up for me and ship them to me, he's in La Mirada not far from your facility. |
Re: Brothers strikes again
Just got a tracking number for my order from John. Seems like they are trying to get things corrected.

Re: Brothers strikes again
Great follow up John. I know you guys are super busy, but more presence on the forum might be beneficial. Thanks for getting this worked out.
|
Re: Brothers strikes again
John thank you. The only question I have at this point is why someone would expect a cc credit if they never used the cc to pay. That is kind of against and cc co policy... check issued refund on cash is standard all over.
Thank you again for taking the time to follow up |

I guess in the end it really comes down to standards and like opinions, they can vary. Some folks (I'm one of them) have high expectations when purchasing a product, specially when that purchase is made on-line with a CC and shipping is involved. When I sell something via the board, eBay or CL I make sure I have easy, open communication, provide any shipping info I can and I try to be as straight forward as possible. There are board members here (sharpie for example) selling items in the classified section that exceed my expectations (not easy to do) and would be a good roll model for others to follow. All that being said, I do appreciate the fact that you do come on the board to state your case instead of just blowing it off. :chevy: |
Re: Brothers strikes again
As large a customer base as this site has the potential to generate for Brothers, and all the bad publicity that Brothers gets over and over for their bad customer service, one would think that they would re-evaluate their customer service policies after all this time. Why would they pay to vend here and send out such a strong message to then be avoided ?? There are alot of vendors not listed in this section of the forums. Brothers seems to be one of the vendors most mentioned here. Apologies and excuses are getting old. Perhaps your customer service policies do need to be re-evaluated.

Re: Brothers strikes again
My order arrived at my Maine house, just as John said it would. I don't know what I got yet and John told me that some items were backordered. My experience has been good with Brothers.

John did what he said he would, I got the door weatherstripping today which was backordered. I still have the cab mounts on BO. Mike |
Re: Brothers strikes again
same thing Ordered 9/19/11 all i ordered was a gas tank grommet and lower 4 core radiator mounts AS of 9/24/11 everything is back ordered with no notice, i have emailed brothers to see when and if they can give me a date to when they will be in
|
Re: Brothers strikes again
Write everybody's names done and what they tell you. Oh and call them to remind me frequently to ship it. They lied to me about everything that "had" in stock. I got all my things about a month and a half later than when I was told. Also I cancelled some of the parts as all of a sudden they were no longer in stock when I called the next time since my order hadn't arrived.
|
Re: Brothers strikes again
Yep, every time I have ordered, every item has been back ordered.
Emails not responded to. Just ordered a bunch of stuff last week, off their big sale ad, get 2 emails conferming, second one said any back ordered items will be noted. None were noted. After waiting a few days, I check the site and it said, all items backordered, no date expected. So, I canceled the order. I am sorry, but every item I have ever ordered from them, has been backordered. If you are going to post a big sale, have the items in stock! I will take my business elsewhere. |
Re: Brothers strikes again
I just placed my first order with them last week and when I called the order in, they had one of the two things I needed. I purchased it and didn't back order the other piece. It came a little slow in my opinion, however it did come as I was told. I guess back ordering seems to be an issue after reading this thread.
After working for a large car electronics distributor for years, I would have to believe there's more to these issues than what's told. Someone is not being held to their responsibility,again IMHO.... My old company had several family/relatives working there and that was usually the case at my old company. I'm not saying that it is, just sounds similar. At my old company we shipped approx $150,000 a day and we sent an email via UPS to the customers as the order was shipped, so they could track the time of arrival of their order. When dealers had to promise a delivery time to a customer, they couldn't be left in the dark. Brothers does a lot of advertising, maybe they should pull back a little of those funds and invest in a better internal computer system to help their customer service. You can advertise to bring in new customers(which is very costly) or you can invest in keeping your current customers happy and returning, I think someone there needs to make a tough choice. I hope they can turn this around, I for one like having choices on who I buy my products from, it keeps everyone competitive and that is good for all. |
Re: Brothers strikes again
I too placed a order online. Everything in stock. Days later I receive an email stating they received my order. Still everything in stock. I call today and they are waiting for a back ordered item, huh? After reading everything on here I called and cancelled my order. I got told they called my house phone and left a message. No message no phone call. Glad I stopped the madness before I was stuck. Rob

Re: Brothers strikes again
I think we all know about Brother's online website ordering system...
it does not inform you of back ordered items. With that being said; When ordering from Brother's Truck, I use the "Live Chat" feature to check which items are in stock before I order. or, I phone in my order and find out which items they have in stock and which are on back order. Dano |

Re: Brothers strikes again
I placed an order on 4/27/12 it is now 5/28/12 and no items. I small part was back ordered so I told them to cancel and ship the parts that they have in stock. Still no word. I now just want my money back to go elsewhere. This is the first and the last time that I will order anything form Brothers.

Re: Brothers strikes again
Brothers update:
I ordered a chrome steering column that was on sale in April. I was told 3 to 4 weeks for it to be shipped. I received it in just over 3 weeks. Thanks Mike |

Re: Brothers strikes again
John at Brothers made things right. I finally received my order.

Re: Brothers strikes again
I also had problems with items being backordered. Had to send them an email to find out where my parts were and to find out some were back ordered. I do not believe you should have to get John @ brothers involved to get your parts shipped. I won't be ordering from them again.
