40 days is a long time.

Hello,

I ordered Sprayon® CD™880 General-Purpose Cleaner - 538 Gram (19 oz) Aerosol Can S00880 on 1-5-2021.
The message I got back in my email was: Status: Can ship 5 in approximately 40 business day(s).
Expected Ship Date: 03/04/2021
That's a long time!!
I went to another vendor and got it 3 days after I sent in the order. Not sure why it's going to be 40 days before I get this order, but it seems a bit excessive, but the other vendor sent 3 cans and I can use this order if it is actually shipped as promised.
Thanks!
J

Hello,

It does look like at the time you placed the order we were out of stock and we're not expected to be able to procure more for about 40 days. We will work to get this to you as fast as humanly possible. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Take care,
Jason

This time it went wrong

This time it went wrong. Ordered parts and they were not showing backordered. Place order 1/5/21, Followed up on 1/20/21 on status. Was told they were backordered and it would be 2-3 weeks. Rep asked if I wanted to cancel, I replied I would 1/20/21, no response. I requested to cancel again 1/21/21 and for confirmation of it, again no response. Sunday I get an email stating material has shipped. What? How? Why? Paid for certifications, did not come in the box. Rep asked me for info on the packaging so she could get me the certs? Why am I doing her job, you should have that record. This is the first time an order has gone really wrong with bad communication. Hopefully this is an anomaly.

Hi Joey,

Yes I do see where this went wrong for you. We will use your experience as a 'teachable moment' for our reps. It looks like there was some confusion as to the lead time when the product was actually already in Receiving. I am truly sorry you had this experience and we will do our best to make sure this is the exception and not the rule moving forward for you.

Thank you,
Jason

Really disappointed with you guys

Really disappointed with you guys, no way to talk on the phone, orders coming late, and I tried to cancel, and there is no way to do.

Hi Jose,

We have updated our email confirms to note that we are experiencing shipping delays currently and I do see the in stock portion of your order shipped in that expected window.

Our phone number as well as the information on how to cancel your order are listed on the website in the Terms & Conditions section. I do see some voicemails from you in Mid-December that were returned but I did not turn up anything about this order in particular. I do see your email about this order sent in on 1/21 was answered the same day.

Unfortunately at the time you reached out to cancel the back-ordered item we were unable to cancel the shipment due to where it was in processing, but I do see the agents assisting you did let you know you could set up an RMA

After 3 and a half weeks I finally got my order. Very unhappy! I order parts for my airplane all the time, never has it taken more than a week. But with Sky Geek if was over 3 weeks! Not impressed. I wrote your customer service 2 times, never a response

Excellent

Excellent! Skygeek always has the small quantities of what I need. The main distribution houses require a minimum order quantity. But when I only need 1 or 2 rolls of flashbreaker tape or 1 can of Sandstrom Dry Film Lube, SkyGeek has it in the small quantities I need.
Fast and reasonable rates too!

Pathetic delivery times are too long

Pathetic delivery times are just unacceptable.

Three weeks longer than expected to get order.

Sky Geek does not understand that most businesses cannot afford to keep a customer waiting that long, So if you need something quickly, find another retailer.

Normally

Normally, Sky Geek ships when promised. I ordered some FIKI fluid well in advance of a trip I had planned, but this time they were late shipping and the fluid didn’t arrive until after I had left. Thankfully, I had enough fluid on hand to make the trip.

Hi Randy,

I'm sorry you had that experience. Unfortunately between Mother Nature, pandemic precautions and the holidays we missed some estimated shipping dates. We appreciate your business and hope you had a wonderful trip.

Java-Script

Recently, not certain when or why, we are unable to order on-line via our work network without enabling java-script. Unfortunately, java causes other issues with programs, so our request to our IT Dept was declined. In order to place an order, we have to use our personal cell phones which is an inconvenience.

Magneto Harness, Baffling, Grommets

I recently had to order a hard to find grommet for my Continental 0-300A. Skygeek was able to find the part and now I can complete my magneto harness installation. They were one of the only places that had the part.

12 days to ship an in-stock item. Much too slow.

Product was OK, but fulfillment was unacceptably slow. I ordered the in-stock product on 12/2/20, and it shipped on 12/14/20 - 12 days later. That may have been acceptable in 1980, but not in 2020. While waiting I ordered the same product from a competitor on 12/12/20, and it shipped two days later.

Change your shipping carrier

So far I can't really say anything about my experience because after almost three weeks since I placed this order I still have to see the product.
FedEx originally showed a delivery date of 12/11, then change it to 12/15 - today - but the package is still in Mendon, MO. Very unlikely to be here by tonight.
Using the pandemic as an excuse, FedEx has become the worst carrier, even worse than the post office. You guys better change that or you will lose a lot of business. Personally, I will not buy anything from you unless you switch to UPS.

Hi Dany,

We're sorry it was a 1-star experience due to transit delays. I do see that the order took a while to move cross country and we are seeing delays with all carriers. It does look like UPS is an option for this item when checking out, typically items are only restricted by weight or whether or not the item is HazMat (this was not). I am sorry you were not able to select UPS and you can certainly note this on your orders going forward or choose to ship on your own account. I am glad your package arrived, albeit after 11 days in transit, and please contact us at service@skygeek.com if you need anything else.

Hi Terry,

I see that the order took 13 days to get from NY to TX, and it has now been delivered. Unfortunately, we are seeing shipping delays across the board. We appreciate your business and understanding.

Delays in shipping, delays in transit

The item I ordered had a delay - but as far as I know, I was not made aware of any delay until the purchase transaction had already been made. Fine, but when the item did finally ship (later than projected, of course), it was sent via the post office, which of course, added further delay. I was willing to wait a week; maybe two for the item. Not a month or more. Very dissatisfied. I needed this tool on time.

How not to help a customer...

After ordering my parts, I was sent my order confirmation, with pending shipping time, as the item was "in stock". My ship day came and went, no further information and no tracking.
After two weeks I called your customer service center to cancel my order. She informed me that the item was going to ship "soon" and I could return my product after I got it (less the 10% restocking fee). I told her I was cancelling, there was no tracking number created, and to CANCEL the order. She argued and was not helpful in creating a good customer experience.
I do not think I will be using your service again. The last two times I have ordered, the part is "in stock" but takes very long to be shipped or is not really in stock. I have plenty of other vendors who will and can inform me if the item is being drop-shipped from another location and an expected wait time, BEFORE ordering. Good luck with your current business model.

I do see the order was set to ship on 11/30 and shipped on 12/4. I see you had called to cancel on 12/2 but unfortunately, the order was already picked and processed for shipment. In these cases, we do have to treat the orders as a return the order shipped. On a case by case basis, and for your order where the item is one we stock, and we did try to cancel but couldn't past the estimated ship date, we would waive the return fee. I see that the order was refunded, and I am sorry for any extra aggravation or miscommunication here. We appreciate your business and are working to provide a better experience.

Unacceptable

OMG, these are scam artists! Don't shop there. My order is 3 month late and I'm having issues with getting a refund/ replacement. The woman on the phone is downright incompetent. They want you to cancel the existing order so you place it again at a higher price and pay shipping again ($16.99).
They should not be in business. If you have problems with them, report them to your credit card and BBB.

Hi Anna,

Thank you for providing additional details. I see that part of your order shipped, part was cancelled, and I see the final remaining PPE item is in stock and we are working on shipping your order. I see you have an open support ticket with us and we will be in touch shortly. I do understand your frustration completely, and we are working to rectify the order and make sure it is complete. Unfortunately, PPE items can take some time, but we will be in touch.
