roadmaster-tow-bars.com

Back on August 14th, I placed an order for baseplate brackets and tow bar adapter plate with roadmaster-tow-bars.com. To date, I have yet to receive my items - 10 weeks!

I have called repeatedly (approximately every two to three weeks) and each time that I called, I had to leave a message because "all of their operators are busy assisting other customers" each time that I call. (Yes, Because the demand for RV tow Bars and accessories is in such high demand these days!) :R

Although it took a day or two each time, they had replied to my call. However, each time they had given me an estimated lead time (along with a bogus excuse which changed with each call.) The various lead times came and went, and still no items. They keep saying that they've sent email updates, but that's a lie as I've recived not even one emailed shipping update. The only email I've ever received from them was the confirmation of the order received and that the credit card was being charged the amount of the transaction (they made sure that they charged my card quickly though!. Therefore, I know that they in fact have my correct email address in their system.

While I've been more than patient with these people, my patience is in fact starting to now wear thin. We're putting the rig away for the winter in two weeks!

Has anyone else dealt with these people? If so, what was your experience? Am I the only one having a bad experience with them?

    The two items that I ordered were:

    (1) XL Series Mounting Bracket Kit #480-1
    To fit 2003 Ford Explorer

    (1) 032 Tow Bar Bracket Adapter
    Roadmaster Bracket to Blue Ox Tow Bar

    I may give Roadmaster a call to at least find out of there is some sort of delay with these two items.
  • You picked the wrong Dealer. Call the Credit Card Company and get the charges reversed!
  • Thank you very much cottontop. However, the problem here is not with Roadmaster Products per se', but rather with the dealer that I'm attempting to purchase them from. Since (as far as I know) Roadmaster Products can't be purchased directly I don't see how they would be able to help with this issue? They would most likely tell me that the problem is between the dealer and I. On the other hand, if Roadmaster is taking this long to provide the items, the the fault does lay in fact with Roadmaster. They will undoubtedly still tell me to deal directly through my dealer anyway and more than likely blow me off. Nonetheless, I appreciate the contact info.

  • I would contact my credit card company and dispute the claim since you've never received the product.

    Then I would go to etrailer.com or Tweeties.com and order from them.
  • I would cancel the order.
    These people are not Roadmasterinc!
    I would order from Tweety's or AsventureRV.net.
  • A neighbor had the same problem as you, that is why I bought a used Falcom II from e-bay.
