My Experience With a Delayed Order From MBTEK
The worst experience I've ever had was with the only company I thought was truly reliable with its customers and committed to delivering items on time. That wasn't the case, based on my experience since last September when I ordered some items from MBTEK. I'm still dealing with this issue to this day. When I ordered everything, they told me I would receive it in November. October and November passed, and at the end of November, I called to find out what had happened. Customer Care told me they had a delay with the equipment and the container. I let it slide, and they gave me a new delivery month. It turns out the new delivery month was February of this year. My project was already way behind schedule, and I've suffered significant losses because I planned to install the equipment this winter. Things didn't go as planned, and now it's March, and the new delivery date they gave me is 60 days away. Many people here have tried to convince me otherwise. The company, including the General Manager, whose broken English and heavy accent make him completely incomprehensible, has offered me a 20% discount for the delay. I wish it were money back on my card; what they're offering is a gift card, something to buy things from them. I'd be the most foolish person on the planet to accept it, because all I want is my money back. It's been six months since my order arrived, and that doesn't even include the new estimated delivery time (ETA) they gave me, which is another 60 days. So, it's almost seven to eight months if we count them all. I didn't bother looking for any reviews of this company, either here or elsewhere. They seemed like a serious and reliable company, but the reality is quite different. I've seen several reviews here indicating they don't have the funds and deliveries are delayed due to a lack of money. I also saw a similar comment elsewhere. On Trustpilot, a former employer posted several things, and what caught my attention wasn't so much the reviews themselves, but that he posted them here. There are several complaints from former employees claiming the company is short on cash, which is the worst part. But what really caught my attention, and made me want my money back, are the overcharges on Quora. There, I realized all the chargebacks this former employee posted, which the company has been handling for a long time. They're showing overcharges from the month I made my purchase. In short, what I've analyzed is that this company—if you can even call it that—uses the money of all the idiots like me who buy from them so they can pay off debts and old purchases from other customers. New customers are left on a waiting list, believing their lies about delivery dates. I've also noticed from other buyers who purchased FCU Wall or Floor units in September or October and haven't received their items. Some have even had chargebacks issued by their banks, like me, who filed one this week. My purchase cost us a little over $15,000. I hope my story as a disappointed buyer helps this community and encourages them to invest their money wisely, whether with Arctic Heat Pumps or by searching for better options online. My advice to everyone here, and to anyone looking to buy a Heat Pump from this company or any other, is to first research who they are, whether they are reputable, and whether they deliver on time. Look for reviews online and don't waste your time listening to lies from sales agents or company representatives. I wish I had followed all of this advice when I should have; it was too late for me to realize who this company really was.
