Proud Shopper LOOK OUT

Annoyed By: Proud Shopper


I ordered some do-rags. The money come out of my bank the next day. A month later and nothing. I sent several e-mails to Ron, NO response. I called and get a machine that tells me the line is busy and hangs up. Unless you like your brain to bleed i would stay away.

Elite Heat Pumps, New Brunswick

Location: New Brunswick, Moncton
Industry: Other
Annoyed By: Owner and Products


Stay away. Beware!!!! Cheap product. Elite buys them from the cheapest bidder in China, then re-sold as 'Elite' Heat Pumps. Warranty only for one year on labour. Owner does not give a 'CRAP' about customers.

Here's my story:

Purchased two heat pumps, 2 years ago. One pump for each floor. One works like a charm, the other is a lemon. It's been serviced 4 times, and we regularly have to re-set the breaker as it keeps tripping it. Right now, i have no air conditioning. I called for service. AGAIN. I politely (but aggressively) asked why... why! had they not replaced it from the beginning of our issues? This is obviously a lemon, it's crap. Keeps giving us problems (the heat got stuck on 'on mode' one month, and we didn't realize until we saw the inflated power bill that it was malfunctioning that month. Again.) Of course, the clerk (receptionist) can't do anything for me. Asked me if I'd like to speak to the owner. "SURE!" I say.

There was a brief delay... I was not put on hold. It almost seemed like the receptionist simply passed the phone to the owner. He picks up the phone and says: "If you say 'crap' once, i'm going to hang up on you!". - no hello, no 'how can i help you'. Nothing.

I burst out laughing! Then I say: "What... would you prefer I use other choice of words?" He says: "If you do, you'll be talking with yourself." I say: "Now, really!! isn't that a nice way to answer a customer's phone call!" He says: "You started it". I say: "you're the one who sells crap! I'm in need of 6 other heat pumps and you can be sure Elite Heat Pumps will NOT SEE A PENNY of it." He says 'fine then". I say "fine then." click. Click.

Selling cheap, crap products is one thing. Back this up with an idiotic owner and poor salesmanship, you've got a recipe for disaster. It's a wonder they are still in business.

When purchasing a Heat Pump for your home, please look for recognized brands: Lennox, Carrier, Westingouse, Mitsubishi, etc.... Do your homework, paying a little extra will be worth it in the end. Oh, and stay away from Elite Heat Pumps!

Do the world a favour and help companies like this into bankruptcy. Even if it means that I won't be able to get cheap Chinese parts for my units when they break again and that I'll probably have to spend another 10K to change to a better brand!

Dissatisfied to the max.

Sally: The worst service I have ever had from any courier company ever. Not only can you not get the item delivered but you cannot find out where it is or give me a number that I can call them on or find out where it is yourself. Your tracking information is 4 days out of date and you cannot get a response by email in less that 24-48 hrs. Really stunningly bad service.

placed an order Feb.19,2012 and it said it can take up to 3 weeks to ship because shirts have to be printed-ok I got that,but I also ordered silk flags.I waited 3 weeks and no sign of my order or no word.I contacted proud shopper-Ron- was informed the flags got lost in shipment and he would ship that day. I got the shirts after a 2 month waiting period and me having to contact Ron every couple of weeks.After 2 1/2 months of waiting I told him to cancel the flags.gave him a week to refund my money and contacted him-He said I cancelled the order.I told him after 2 1/2 months of waiting and him refusing to send the flags and I wanted my money back or him ship the flags.Told me he would rather refund my money so I told him to do so.He then informed me that the flags were never available.That no one makes them any more.Isn't there some kind of law advertising stuff for sale you can't produce?? It's almost a month later and he still has not refunded my money.. PEOPLE TAKE A FOOL'S ADVICE AND TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW--DO NOT ORDER ANY THING FROM THIS Place!!!
