Customer Feedback

Hi Frank - I wanted to let you know that I received my refund, and want to thank you for your prompt attention to this. It is a shame that the GPS failed but it was a pleasure doing business with you none the less. I will certainly look to your business for any of my future needs.

Bill Philip
MILTON, Vermont

Hi Bill, It is always nice to be appreciated, and especially nice to have someone take the time to show that appreciation. We definitely appreciate customers like you who understand that things do not always work out as we plan or hope for. Naturally we are sorry that the GPS had an issue, but we are not sorry to have you as our customer. Thanks Bill. Frank

Hi Lyle,   Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback. It is always nice when others show appreciation for the effort you make. It is customer's like you that we work for and appreciate. Thanks Frank

Hi Mr. Frank, First, thank you for sharing a brief personal belief and experience particular in Africa and other parts in the world. I was encouraged by your comments and hope to open up more doors of cooperation and opportunity for the less fortunate. Our organization is working to help drill wells for women and children in Tanzania whom had no other way around to acquire such a basic human need like water. Thank you so much and may God bless you and your business.

Editor's Note: Geoffrey is from Tanzania and wanted to contact other organizations that help his people. I said I would search the internet and find some organizations that he could contact.

Hi, I have purchased many tv's from you guys and your customer service is the best I've ever had. I purchased the 22inch HDLEDTV with DVD Player, Model No: NTD-2252. I accidentally during set up pressed Spanish and I can't get the setting back to English!! Frustrating. I've tried everything. Can you tell me how to get TV back to English. Thanks, Debbie. Love your company and your honesty.

Debbie Desmond
Fountain Valley, CA

Hola Debbie.

    Lo siento, eso que no hablo español. Ok, seriously, when you first go into the Setup menu, it should be the 2nd item down on the 1st page. Look for something like "Lengua del menú     Español". Frank

Hi guys and girls items delivered, checked and installed; working wonderfully and do seem to fit my needs in the small RV. I want to thank you for your prompt shipment and very instructive emails; I am sure I will continue with your firm for future needs. Thank you again. Lee Rackley

Lee Rackley
Palmyra, PA

Hi Lee,
Thank you for taking the time to send your kind comments. We started sending those instruction emails years ago, but we would like to enhance that by adding instruction videos on the website. Many people understand the internet, but there are many who do not and tend to be uncomfortable. We understand that and plan to do something to help those out. Enjoy your TV. We hope it will server you well for years to come. Frank.
 

I am absolutely overjoyed with the GPS I purchased from you. I had very little updateing to do, so basically it was plug and play. Thanks for the great service I recieved during the buying of the GPS, the help was very helpful so much so I still consult it every now and again when I am looking for info.

James Madden
Kitchener, ON Canada

Hi James,

Glad you got a lot of use out of our GPS tips. We wanted to make sure all of our customers were able to use it quickly, without having to read the 100 plus pages of the user guide. Frank

(Editors note: James is referring to the email we send everyone who purchase a Truck GPS from us. It basically tells our customers how to set it up & start using the GPS immediately and what settings they should be aware of.)
 

You guys are awesome. I won't be able to check out the TV until Spring as I don't have 12V here where I live in the Winter. My 12V system is at my cabin and it's under snow. You people have done a great job with my order and that's why I recommend you to everyone who needs 12V appliances. Keep up the good work and have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR...Sandy

Sandra Mansfield
Boise, Idaho

Hi Sandy,
Yes you can check it out, as all of our TVs have a 120 volt converter plug that you can use. :o) We really do appreciate customers like you, who make having a business a real joy. Thanks. Have a wonderful and happy holiday. Frank & Marissa.

Editors Note: Sandy was one of the many customer who pre-ordered a 22" Skyworth TV/DVD. We sent her 3 update emails to keep her informed of the progress from Hong Kong to US, to Skyworth to RoadPro.
 

Thank you for this helpful email. I happened on your site while looking for a small 12v TV for my boat. You had a better selection and prices than the marine sites had. Also, cruising sailors face some of the same issues as truckers; size, volume of the unit, power consumption, etc., and your site addressed all of them. Maybe you should insert a marine word somewhere in your web page so you come up when boaters are searching for 12 v devices. I look forward to getting my TV. Fred

Frederick Braman
Fleming Island, Florida

Hi Fred,
We did have 3 models of marine TVs from Skyworth, until we could not get them anymore. We still have a 19" Refurbished Marine Skyworth with a new TV warranty though. Our main focus is on the long hauler, but you make a good point and we may consider that in the future, after we get the website updated and add all the products we want to add. Happy boating. Frank
 

Frank, Never have I had a more enjoyable experience with a company in my whole life! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so patient with me and helping as you have. My son, Ray, is going to be home by the time you can get the refrigerator to him so I am sending it directly to him, good thing I called the little stinker!

Happiness always for you and your beautiful family and workers,

Janet Judy

Hi frank, I just want to say thanks for the great service and also want to let you I received my TND 510 . I also would like to get the traffic receiver for this unit when it is available . Please let me know when you know  Thanks again for the great service.

Graham Fralic

Hi Graham,
You are in luck, you can get the Traffic Receiver now directly from Rand McNally's website. Here is the link for your convenience. Frank

F&M--So far, you guys are unbelievable. Keep up the good work, I can't wait to get the unit. My wife and I leave in about 2 weeks for 5 months in Alaska, and this unit has all the things I've been looking for. I should be able to give you some good feedback as we start out. Again, thanks for your support.

John Boubelik
Elm Grove, LA

Hi John,
Very much appreciated. You should have gotten it today. Enjoy your trip to Alaska and I will look forward to getting your review when you return. have a safe trip. Frank

Editor's Note: John purchased the new Rand McNally RVND5510 GPS for RV. We sent him our tips write-up to orient him to the RV GPS and John is expressing his appreciation.
 

Wow. great and personal customer service!! I know where I'm gonna shop from now on!!. Thanks for cleaning up my booboos. DebbieD. I got scared at first cause I saw they have been charged to my debit and then I saw 'your card has been declined'. That kinda stuff keeps me awake at night:) Now I can sleep. Thanks Frank

Deborah Desmond
Fountain Valley, California

Hi Debbie,
You are welcome. Consider using Google Checkout or PayPal button next time. You will not have to keep entering your data every time you order. After the first time, you will only need to log on and ok the order and your done. And PayPal offers buyer protection and you can actually call then if you have a problem. Frank
 

I hope you get this and can use it for a feedback or testimonial, This is the best use of technology going! Finally something that lives up to the hype! I have only had it a day but the ease of using it and the pin point accuracy I can tell this is going to pay for itself in about 2 weeks and then start making me money! I just changed jobs from a local route in NY to a 9 state regional run, so I am way out of my comfort zone. Thanks to the TND700 I had no worries with 5 stops around Boston yesterday! Not being paid hourly (something I always was) makes owning this a must! Thanks Jerry N

Gerald Noirot
Mechanicville, New York

Hi Jerry,
Always nice to get feedback from our customers. You are basically right. The Rand McNally is "the best use of technology going". We have been selling about 80 to 100 units a month and I can tell you that almost everyone appreciates what the TND does for them. To date, we have had only 2 customer who have gone out of their way to complain about the TND. And it is always trivial complaints, that have nothing to do with the main purpose of the Truck GPs, which is to keep you safe (Low bridge Warnings) and save you money (Keep you off of restricted roads). Our customer know that the TND makes it very easy to send that information to Rand so they can correct it. And lets face it.. The TND is for truckers and truckers are responsible to make sure it is the best possible solution for their needs. After all, the benefit is to them. I might also add for other readers of this post, that Rand is coming out with a new unit designed specifically for RVers. Here is the link. http://www.roadtrucker.com/gps-for-rv-routing/rand-mcnally-gps-rv-routing.htm
 

My husband received this for his christmas present a month before Christmas and absolutely loves it. He said this was the best gift ever. So thank you for this email as well, it really provided great insite on the product and it is what it is cracked up to be. Thanks again. I recommend any trucker to have this amazing GPS.

J & G Chapman Trucking/Jamie Chapman
Chillicothe, Missouri

Hi Jamie,
Thanks for the great feedback. Like you, we are convinced that the Rand McNally is by far the very best Trucker GPS available in the market today and it continues to keep getting better. We have sold over 800 GPSes, last year and over 1/2 have been the two Rand McNally TND700s and the TND500s. The TND has passed every test with flying colors, except perhaps the install could be a little more robust. We love the TND and I use the TND700 myself, because I love the way the big 7" high definition screen clearly points out the way to o when I come to those multi-Highway exits. No other GPS does this so clearly. The TND was a wonderful gift that will help keep your husband safe from low bridges, save money on fuel and keep him from getting expensive tickets for being where he is not supposed to be. Enjoy and safe driving. Frank
 

Hi to Frank & Marissa: This is so very nice of you to include all this info. You dont find this kind of service frpm too many places for truckers the days. I know of the Skyworth from drooling over them at a trucktop that had the 19 and 22 in years back as a driver who said one of these days..... well, after open heart surgery I sold the big house I inherited, paid off all the bills bought my 2005 volvo (cash) and now! I get to get my 22 in Skyworth Ive been waiting for. I just bought this laptop and have really been reserching stuff before I buy it. I thought the suspersonic 1080 i had a nice picture but theyre have been issues with the power cord and picture quality over the years. But then I found the perfect 22in with all the bells and whistles and a dvd which is the cats meow. Since in all the trucks Ive driven or owned is the first thing to go. Im tickled pink, cant wait to get it. Thanks so much for supporting the trucking industry. Keep up the great work. HAPPY NEW YEARS. Gail 9-Lives Lort

Gail Lort
NASHUA, New Hampshire

You are very welcome, Gail. We try to provide the value that really is needed today. We find the new TVs can be a bit confusing for some of our customers. Even those who consider themselves to be savvy, do not always understand them, so felt a few pages of tips to help clear up any confusion would be helpful to our customers, as we want them to get value for their money and certainly be able to use the TV, as was intended. Issues will come up for all brands and all products. That is just a way of life, but the important thing is how well the product gets supported. We find Skyworth to be one of our premier accounts because they go that extra mile to support their products. That is why you can get that new remote or the frayed cord replaced. You can also get the TV repaired very cheap even long after the warranty runs out. Enjoy your new Skyworth. Frank
 

Hi Frank, WOW! The TV arrived this evening and the other one is on it's way back. I can't believe that happened so fast. The replacement is the upgraded A-3 model mentioned in your voice mail and the factory packaging was undisturbed, all accessories accounted for. I gave it an hour to come up to room temperature (it's been cold in the Northeast) and then checked the operation. It functions perfectly and will be wrapped and under the Christmas Tree by tomorrow. Thanks again for your help and regard for customer satisfaction. It's something that's missing from a lot of business today but you and Road Trucker are obviously a cut above the rest. I will be ordering a couple new appliances from you after the holidays. Best regards and Happy Holidays,

Bob Brzozowski
Middletown, Connecticut.

Hi Bob,
What can I say, but thanks for the recognition. We do try to reconcile the return process as best we can. Enjoy.. Frank.
 

Hi, Just wanted to drop you a little note and tell you my son loves the Rand McNally GPS. He says it does so much more than he ever realized a GPS could do. Thank you so much for calling me and then talking to Scott to explain it to him. Like I told you before no one else would have done that, if you ordered online they would collect the money and send you what you ordered. Thanks again I really appreciate the extra mile that you went.

Karen Greenwood
Belle Vernon, PA

It was our pleasure Karen. We try to treat our customers the way we would like to be treated. We realize that many people do not have a clue as to what to purchase, especially for a specialty device like the Truck GPS and especially considering the misinformation about them due to obsolete reviews and customers who are unrealistic as to expectations. One thing that can not be misrepresented though, is the return rate and we track every single return. We have the data, which clearly shows Rand McNally TND500 and TND700 as the hands down winner with the fewest complains and the fewest returns. The TND also has the most positive comments of any GPS we have sold to date. Frank
 

GOOD MORNING FRANK AND MARISSA, THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUICK RESPONSE; APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR HELP AND YOUR PATIENCE WITH ME; I WEAR MANY HATS WITH THIS FAMILY OF MINE SO SOMETIMES I FORGET TO SAY THANK YOU; SO AGAIN MY MANY THANKS TO YOU BOTH FOR YOUR HELP. HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY; THANK YOU.

SILVIA D ALLEN
TOMBALL, TX

You are welcome. Your updated GPS is on the way back to you and it is scheduled for delivery on Friday. Frank & Marissa. Editor's Note: Silvia had problems with her computer and ask us if we would update her Rand McNally TND700, if she sent it to us and paid for the return shipping. Naturally we said yes, but shipped it back at our expense.
 

Hello Frank and Marissa, It has been a very hectic couple of weeks for Brian and I. Sorry we haven't been able to send a reply email sooner. We received the GPS and it works amazing. Its everything thing you said about it. Thank you once again for saving the brokerage fees for us. If there is anything else that we will require in the future we will be sure to look at RoadTrucker.com. Thanks again,

Brian and Jess Furlong
Napanee; ON

Thank you Brian and Jessica. Glad we could save you some money. Especially the outrageous so called broker fee that UPS charges. We are glad that one of our customers told us about the excessive fees, which gave us a chance to find a less expensive way to ship. Enjoy the TND700, as it really is the very best GPS available today for Truckers. Frank
 

Frank: The new TV arrived and I tested it for several hours on the house current before installing it in the van. It seems to work just fine, color and sound are OK. I appreciate your sending the replacement so quickly, and for the return shipping label. Carole sent the return from a UPS store last Tuesday but did not get the tracking number. It may well have arrived already. Thank you,

Jack Dysart
Steamboat Springs, Colorado

You are welcome Jack. RoadPro has received the returned TV and credited us, so a tracking number is not necessary. Enjoy. Frank
 

I have had the TV for a little over a week and I have not appeared to have any problems with the TV. Thank you for your work and effort at making this right. It is truly a pleasure to work someone who cares. You will be recomended to anyone that I can. My son is looking at one of your tvs for his trailer. Thanks James

James Preston
Pendleton, Oregon

Your welcome James. It is easy to give good customer service when you have a company like Skyworth who is very responsive to their customers. It is 1 of the main reasons we choose Skyworth over all others. Frank
 

Refund received! Can’t say enough about your commitment to good service. We are live-aboard boaters and will share our positive experience with roadtrucker.com with fellow boaters. Lots of interest in 12volt products in our life style. Thanks again

Hi Road Trucker. Just wanted to say how happy I am to have found this website. You guys are just awsome. When I purchased my new gps for truck drivers I didnot expect to get any help. You guys (frank in particular) are the most helpful people in the trucking industry as far as i am concerned. You sent me avery nicely written help sheet on the gps before i even got the gps. It was easy to read and once i recieved the gps I had no trouble setting it up for my truck and start using it. Thank you for suggesting I consider the Rand McNally instead of the Garmin. I have 2 friends with a Garmin and both are unhappy with it. I love the tnd700. The big screen is awsome and you were right it does help you get through the multilane highway exits with ease. Your recommendations for the suggested setup changes made my tnd700 even better. But the 1 thing that impressed me the most and was way beyond any expectations on my part was when i had a little trouble with the part that connects to the computer coming loose. I sent an email and Frank told me to send it to him and he would replace it from his stock. I sent it Monday and got it back Thursday. I could not believe my eyes when I turned it on and checked it out. It was set up the way i had mine and my routes and history and even my state milage was in there. Frank had save my information and added it to the new replacement and even updated it with the latest updates. Who does that? No one. That is so far above and beyond the call of duty that you have a very loyal customer for as long as I drive my truck. I cannot thank you enough. That is REAL SERVICE!

JC Hammond
Cleveland, OH

Hi JC,

Thanks for taking the time to give us your appreciation and feedback. It is nice to be appreciated for the extra effort we make for our customers. We actually wrote up the tips emails for everyone of the Trucker GPSes, as we tested all of them. We agree with you that the Rand McNally TND700 is incomparable. It is without a doubt the very best GPS for Truckers available and we think Rand will continue to make it better. Frank.
 

Frank , After we meet and we will , I'm sure I will also see you in **** , you lying piece of ****, Bla Bla Bla....  See you soon LOOSER. Bla Bla Bla....sorry SOB Bla Bla Bla....the ****** you are Bla Bla Bla.... So I just want you to know who the sorry SOB is, that is now writing every editor of the trucking industry Magazines and RV dealers that you advertise with to let them know that not only is your company incompetent and apparently has no clue as how to ship products and their cost associated with them. 

Editors Note: Joe's childish dribble goes on and on with threats, swearing, bragging, etc, but you get the idea. Makes you wonder where these guys get the time, doesn't it?

JOE BLACKWELL

Gatesville, TX

Hi Joe,

I recommend you get some serious counseling. Who knows, you may actually earn some appreciation from those who have little choice, but to be around you. Frank. 

Editor's note: This is how I ended with Joe, after failing to get him to realize that he was wrong in thinking that he could get almost $200 in shipping for $44. He ordered the Vu Qube which ships free and added a bracket and then selected 2-day which ONLY includes the bracket. The Vu Qube is entered as zero lbs in order to get the Free shipping, so there is no way to select 2-day for it without calling first. We tried to help him get his items on time by shipping the Vu Qube out of Salt Lake and sending the bracket 2-day from Wilmington, but Joe basically got ignorant and started to tell us we were fraudulent.. bla bla bla..  The sorry part of this, is that Joe would have gotten his products in 2 days, but he did not like the idea of paying $44 for the bracket to ship. Real cost to ship the bracket 2-day? $59. The Vu Qube would have been $140. He called us a liar  bla bla bla, despite the fact, I actually sent him the UPS receipt and he could have easily used UPS to find the cost himself. Joe proved himself to be the most immature and outright ridiculous customer, we have had in the 7 years of doing business.
 

Hi Frank, Just wanted you to know the Engle arrived this afternoon! Opened it and checked it out - all OK. I wanted to thank you for all your efforts and help in the purchase -- I'll give you a 10+

Here's an idea for you -- there may be some VW Camper owners who would like to get an Engle too. There's a web site ---www.samba.com that has a lot of members who get fix-up information, exchange info, and trade and sell parts in the classifieds. It may be worth becoming a "vendor" on their site and offer your products. Take a look, might sell a few for you!

I'd be happy to pass on my very positive experience. I think the key is that most Engle distributors just do the drop ship and it takes a while and who likes to wait. The fact that you are so close to Engle's office and you carry stock on hand would be a real positive. Once again, thanks so much for making it happen within my short window, you're the best! Walt

Walter Verbanic
Kansas City, Kansas
 

Hi Walt,
I cannot believe I took this long to answer, but I have been slammed and I wanted to wait until I put your email on the website, under "Customer Feedback." It is there now. Thank you for taking the time with your appreciation and feedback and especially for the thoughtfulness of sharing your idea for increased sales with us. We do stock ALL of the Engel's that can ship UPS. The only 3 we do not stock are the larger MT60, MT60-COMBI and the MT80. And that is only because they go Truck freight, which is too expensive to pay for twice. We save the customer money by drop shipping from Engel and picking up 1/2 of the Truck freight, which can be as high as $250. Enjoy your Engel, Walt. Frank
 

Hi frank , thanx for correcting me, it is easy to blame than to correct, I am Sikh from Punjab, India. My younger brother had an open heart surgery, the doctor suggested him a strictly non grease non salt
diet home cooked so he used to do that but there was no way he cud heat the food up so I ask one of my trucker friend n he gave me ur website. Frank this product I wud say is a life saver for many of my
friends. We are vagen vegitarians it is hard to get vegan food in manhattan, even if we see a restrunt we don't get parking so when they got the roadpro stove they all said, God Bless You, now they can bring food from home, sometimes I give them live demos how it works n hv them take a bite from my hot food. Free gift I saw on your website that's why I ask. I am getting more order . We all share the price. Sometimes frank without knowing you don't know what good you r doing. Thanx Frank . Best Rgds

Harvinder Baidwan

New Hyde Park, NY

Hi Sikh,
It is always nice to be appreciated. Since Marissa and I travel a lot, we are well aware of how easy it is to loose something in the translation from 1 language to another; or from 1 culture to another. We have had times when other would get angry and we have had times, when they understand and take the time to explain the differences to us. The main difference is in the quality of the people we meet. Thanks for your kind words. Frank
Note: Sikh used terminology that did not represent what he meant and I took a few minutes to explain the variations and when to use one variation over another..
 

Hi Frank, Just wanted to say you guys are a classs act. I ordered the 22" Skyworth TV and you sent me an e-mail concerned about the high cost of shipping to Alaska. Not many companies now days that care that much about their customers. Keep up the good work and thanks for great service.

Note: Gary sent us this follow-up. We think customers like Gary are a class act.

Frank, As I said we Alaskans are used to high shipping charges, but really appreciate your concern and help with the cost. BTW the Skyworth TV is everything you said it was. It has great sound / picture and with your instructions was easy to set up. Thanks again for a great product and customer service.

Gary Boyd,

Anchorage, AK

Hi Gary,
Always nice to be appreciated. We do try to treat our customers the way we would like to be treated. We are trying to get RoadPro to use alternative shipping methods, but so far we have not had any luck. Frank
 

Received my 13" Skyworth yesterday 3 days after ordering. Impressed with your company AND the tv. I am not a trucker but an avid Rv nut with multiple units to play with. The rv industry has lost many sources of 12 v items recently so you will see more of us as time goes by---you will have my recomendation!

Ben Williams

Mt. Pleasant Utah

Thank you Ben,
We do focus on the long haul trucker, but find that many RVers (many similarities to the trucker) find our products useful too. Hope you found the tips email useful. Frank
 

We ordered a Skyworth television with a built-in DVD. It arrived in record time. There was a problem with the DVD part. (Thank heavens for that DVD!!). I emailed RoadTrucker and within an hour Frank was on the phone. Amazing customer service. Shortly after our phone conversation there was a pre-paid shipping document in my email to send the defective DVD to Skyworth. I sent it off the next morning and am sure I'll receive the replacement within a short time. This is by far the best customer service we have ever received from a company. Kudos to Frank. I would not hesitate a second to order again or to recommend RoadTrucker to any of my friends. I am one happy customer!

Vicki Douglas
Port Orchard, WA

Hi Vicki,

Since then I found out that the DVD might have been ok. They act peculiar, so if you have any trouble with the new one, do not push the DVD in. Let me know and I will walk you through it. I had the same problem, but it was more the quirky nature of the TV then it was the DVD. Thanks for the nice comments. Frank.
 

Received the Skyworth TV this afternoon and I already have it hooked up and running. I was amazed how fast it got here. Your "Tips" below were really helpful - thanks. I had a little trouble figuring out switching from the scanned air/antenna stations to Direct TV but I finally figured it out. The wall mount that I have in my travel trailer fits the back of the TV but I am going to have to lower the bracket that screws through the wall to match the height of the Skyworth - no big deal. I think I am going to be very happy with it and make good use of it when I travel and I am not hooked to power and don't want to put up with the noise of a generator. Thanks for suggesting it & answering all of my questions.

Follow-up email from Butch:

My wife and all of our visitors were super impressed with the Skyworth 22" TV that I got for my travel trailer. I pulled the trailer to Colorado and stayed with friends during a wedding a week or so ago - everyone wanted to come in and see our trailer and all were impressed with the Skyworth TV as I showed them how it runs on 12v as well as 110v. I told them all where I got it and hope you get some business from showing it off.

Butch Goodwin
New Plymouth, ID

Hi Butch,
I had that under cable or satellite, as they both use the Analog tuner. If you use the Coax in, you put it on TV and if you use the component in you put it on AV screen. Frank
 

After smoking my TV (2 wires, I had a 50/50 chance) I called Skyworth per your advice and sent them the TV 1 week and $50 later I'm back in business and happy. Ken

Ken Browning
San Diego, California

Hi Ken,
50/50 are not very good odds Ken. You should have cut only 1 wire on the plug. Then using an ohm meter or continuity tester, tested the cut wire to determine if it was the positive or the negative. i.e.. Positive going to the tip of the 12 volt plug. Then mark the cut wire plus or minus depending on where the other side of the cut wire went to. It really is very easy. There is no guessing. We do like the way Skyworth supports their TVs. Frank
 

Comments: DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!! We had to return something which they require to be done through email. I followed the website instructions and sent them all the info they needed in an email. I received an email back asking why I was returning it. I told them why I was returning the items and a back and forth started via email. I thought I was explaining myself well but the last email I received from them was very rude and demeaning. Frank was the one who wrote me and was so rude it was unbelievable. I followed up with a phone call to Frank which resulted in him telling me to "Grow Up" and in a sarcastic tone "You're right, youve got ALLLL the answers" and then he hung up on me. BOTTOM LINE, DONT ORDER FROM THESE PEOPLE.

Unsigned Review left on a couple of websites by

Shand Bell Louzader

Medina, OH

Shanda,

There should not have been any issue here. All returns are covered by the return policy and they need to be documented in writing. You called on your father's behalf before any email was sent. Your farther was very incoherent. I believe it was because you called under the pretense of getting help with a setup. You obviously felt that if you kept talking loudly, that somehow that gave you the right to set our policy. It does not. Once the one sided conversation got to the point were trying to communicate with you was impossible, I saw no reason to continue with you. Yes, you were told you needed to grow up. I hope you will reconsider that advice, as the benefits will be to the people you love the most and are the closest to you. Frank
 

Hello Frank: Not sure whom i was speaking to yesterday but i had a terrific time. Funny thing is that i purchased the 500 for my son who's name is also Frank-that name must mean "good people" . Thank you for all your advise and web site information. God Bless you and your family and not to forget your business!
p.s.-Marissa-if you are his wife-he adores you!

Cindy LePoidevin
Piscataway, NJ

Hi Cindy,
I believe you were talking to me. And yes, I absolutely love and adore Marissa, who is the most fantastic woman in the world.

As for helping our customers, we do take a lot of time to try and offer the best service possible. Not because we need to or because we owe anyone, but because Marissa and I feel it is the right thing to do. Whether it is just answering our phones after hours, or taking the time to write-up and send helpful tips on using your GPS, or just trying to give our customers support, so they do not have to wait in the queue for support from the manufacturers. And although I have to admit, there is one crackpot every now and then, the overwhelming number of our customers, like you, really appreciate the extra effort. Thanks for the very nice feedback. By the way, check out this great Video by a Trucker which shows the fantastic tools on the TND500 and TND700. http://www.roadtrucker.com/gps-truck-routing/tnd700-rand-mcnally-7-inch-gps-truck-routing.htm.

I ordered your skyworth 22'' 12volt tv/dvd last week. I talked to you about shipping times and such on the phone because I have a camping trip comming up this weekend (it was for the R.V.). You not only offered free shipping on the item but it is in no way the usual FREE terms (4 weeks) I had the tv on my doorstep in 2 buisness days. You guys are awsome. And thank you for recomending the skyworth it looks like its going to be an awsome addition to the toyhauler.

Hi Korey,
Thanks for the feedback. And you are right about the Skyworth. It is an awesome TV with an awesome picture and sound. We get more positive feedback on the Skyworth, then we have on any other TV we have ever sold in the last 7 years. Frank.
 

About 10:00PM Saturday night I placed and order, only to find out that PayPal was using an old address I had changed 3 months ago. I fired off an email to Road Trucker to inform them of my screw up, and within a couple of hours, they had sent an email telling me they had cancled the order, and I should re-order once I got the adress squared away with Paypal. My account with paypay was credited for the amount of the cancled order, right away. No jerking around, and all about midnight on a Saturday night.They took care of busnies in a fast professional manor. This is the first time that I have used Road Trucker. But you can be sure I will use them again. There needs to be more companies that take care of people like they took care of me. Thanks for the great service Frank!

Hi Russ,
No Problem. I think sometimes they have issues and run backups, because I have seen the same thing where something is right,then magically gets screwed up. We can't ship until Monday anyway, so you have not lost any time in getting the unit. By the way, great piece of equipment. Frank
 

Road Trucker has got to be the best online store I have ever done business with. I called on Sat. 4/24/10 with a question about a GPS unit and said I would order that afternoon but I didn't get a chance that day.
Imagine my surprise when I called on 4/26/10 to find out if they still had them in stock and was told they put my name on one 4/24/10 after I had called. Ican't get people I deal with all the time to lay anything away.
I ordered 4/26 at about 8:20 pm, when I got home 4/27 it had already shipped and I had it on4/28. The service was better than I have ever experienced on line, you are amazing the way you take customer service to the next level. That is customer service over the top. Telling everyone that asks and some that don't where I got it and how good the service was. I really appreciate it.

Hi Dan,
Thank you for you kind comments. We try to give the best service we can on all products, but to be honest, we have more control over the TND700 Trucker GPS because it is one of the products we stock here in Wilmington. I would not be able to do that with some of our other products. With the Rand McNally GPS, since we do stock them, we can set one aside for our customer and ship it same day if it is ordered early enough. We can even ship it to Canada. If there is an issue, we can have our customer send it directly back to us for resolution which saves them about a weeks waiting if they had to send it back to the manufacturer. By the way, you should have also received an email we wrote up for our customers with tips on getting the most from your new Trucker GPS. Enjoy. Frank
 

Frank, You guys are the best. After the mix up last week when you said you would check today to see when my new TV would be shipped, imagine my surprise when my receptionist at work called and said I had a package waiting in the lobby. Lo and behold there was my new TV. I actually took off work early, came home, hooked my TV up and watched the end of the delayed Nascar race.Thanks to the tips email you guys sent when I placed my order the setup was quick and easy and the picture is beeuutifuul!!! I even managed to pick a number of over the air channels in a really bad reception area where I live and the satellite is awesome. Then I fired up my computer and saw the email that my package had been shipped.Great timing. I'm looking forward to doing future business with you and will pass along to people I know and some RV fourums I'm on what good products and GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE you guys provide. Thanks again, Roger "the Dodger" Tubaugh

Your welcome Roger. Skyworth actually told me they were out, but they had shipped the TV to you before they ran out. A little mis-communication, but "All's well that ends well". Frank.
 

A last note: on the pages above, and on http://www.roadtrucker.com/feedback-from-customer.htm, I am very impressed with the care and concern you've shown for your customers! A website such as yours is a lot of work just for product listing, but you go well beyond that, including descriptions, uses, expected run times and other info -- it's nearly like taking a college course on the product! You all are to be commended, well done!

Larry Buck
West Haven, CT

Hi Larry,
It is always nice when a customer recognizes the work that goes into providing good service and it is especially nice when a customers takes the time as you did to provide corrections to the website. It helps us to maintain accurate information, which is what we want for all our customers. You will also find that we send out an email with tips for getting the most out of many of our products. For example, TVs, Trucker GPS, Vu Qube, etc. We are recognized as one of the few 5 Star stores on Google and we have the recognition of our customers like you to thank for that. You are very much appreciated. Frank.
 

I received the order a couple of days ago , and have the following to say :
   1 - Received in excellent condition.
   2 - Received promptly, as promised.
   3 - As for your feedback "percentage" I give you a 100% rating. I paid you for a product, and you delivered it. As we all know, there are those in this world that go out of their way to find fault with others, but I don't do that. There's an old Chinese proverb that states - "small things entertain small minds." Thank you,

Dan Brown
Richwood, OH

Thanks Dan,
I agree and appreciate your comments. I do not think people realize how hard they make it for each other; and I do believe that most of the world's larger issues, stem from small, sometimes insignificant issues, that planted the seed. We all need to be good to each other. p.s. Like your signature phrase.

Hello Frank,
You and Marisa are great to do business. I got my replacement 12 V 19" tv in 3 days! Replacement set work's great. Picture quality is better than expected. You stand behind your product's 100%. Thanks again.
ps: Skyworth 12 V tv/dvd player is an excellant product.

My Naxa 13.3" dc television arrived and i hooked it up today and it is everything you said it would be. I am very happy with my purchase and glad i waited out the backorder to do business with a fine company like yours..... I wish you much success in your ventures and hope everything positive comes your way.......:) Thanks again for taking the time to talk to me and will be back to your store when the need arrises.

Joseph Zuppa
Reading, PA

Hi Joseph,
Thank you. We always appreciate when our customers take their valuable time and send us Kudos for a job well done. Glad you like the NAXA. It is indeed a great little (big) TV/DVD with many Inputs and an excellent picture. Enjoy. Frank

Hi Frank,
I received the Skyworth 22" TV last week and this Weds I brought it to my camp in Vermont. I have only 12 Volt batteries for power and gas lights. The camp is at 1700' on the mountain, I installed a 100 mile range large antenna on the roof. The Skyworth is everything you said it would be. The Picture and sound are perfect. Thank you for the tips you sent they were very helpful. I appreciate you keeping me informed about its arrival and this note. I will let my friends and others know about your good business practices and merchandise. Thank you Again,

John Thompson
Mansfield, MA

Hi John,

Thanks John,
We try to treat our customers the way we want to be treated and with a very small exception, they very much appreciate us, as you do. We did have 1 customer who said he was disappointed that the DVD was actually on the Right side, but he did not want to return it (at our expense) for a Supersonic 22" TV/DVD with the DVD on the Left. By the way, we went ahead and purchased the 22" Skyworth TV/DVD just to make sure we finally got it right. Really a very nice TV. Don't forget you have a 1 year warranty, but we find the Skyworth holds up very well and I think this new 22" is the best Skyworth yet because of the surge & low voltage circuitry. I talked with Skyworth's North American president and suggested they work on a 12 Volt TV that runs on voltages from 10 to 14 to work with high output alternators and low battery situations where you must run off the battery alone. Enjoy. Frank Editor's Note: Thankfully that customer did not exchange it for the Supersonic. We fond that they made a mistake in their manual and that DVD was also on the right sire. Sheesh... Some days, you just can't win..:o)
 

Hi Frank,
Thank you for your reply. It was very helpful. Having been in business myself, I DO understand about returns and that's why I asked. I figured, the worst you could do was so "no". LOL Since I last emailed you, I rode with my husband in his truck and now I will be using the seat in the passengers seat. My back hurt so bad after just one load around town!! So not all was lost! I will be using it!! Thank you guys for all you do for making life easier for the ones on the road. My husband ran 12 convenient stores most of his life and is now driving a truck and loving every minute of it. He says "he traded his office view of the golf course for a bigger view of the world". God Bless You.

Marci Dameron
Crawford, TX

Hi Marci,
I wanted to make sure I answered your email because of the understanding and acceptance of the Return policy. We have seen irresponsible and insecure customers go out of their way to blame us and give us a bad review and basically go to war, solely because they did not get their own way, when they wanted to violate the Return Policy. When you ask someone for something and they can only say yes, it is not really asking. It is demanding under the guise of asking. More people need to grow up and be like you. Your right, it never hurts to ask, but when we ask, like you, we should always allow the other person to decline. To me, it is the only acceptable human behavior. Hopefully others will emulate you and in dong so will make the life of their loved ones much easier, since any intelligent person realizes sooner or later, that we do not switch off ignorance, just because we go home. We must always try to act with dignity, honestly and respect, if we ever hope to be a good family person. Thank you again. By the way, I use one of those seats in my office. I have had lower back pains for years and since using the AirHawk, I have not had any back problems. It really does make a significant difference. I also use one of these waist-belts that you see on the home depot people. They are cheap and help give the spine support. Frank
 

Very POOR! Rude people, talked down to me and would not listen. Thank God I cancelled my order.

Ralph W Shaw
South Berwick, ME

Ralph,

The only Rude and disrespectful person was you, Ralph. You ordered a small TV, then called to request we change that to a larger TV. You talked to Marissa. Everyone (and I mean everyone) who knows or has ever met Marissa knows she is one of the sweetest people on the planet. She was NOT Rude Ralph and she did listen to you, over and over and over again. Marissa tired to tell you that the difference in price was an extra $112.33. But you had it in your mind that the difference between $279.96 and $167.63 was $100.95. We have 3d graders in this country that can subtract better than that.  I was sitting right next to Marissa and I could hear every word you said to her. You were talking very loud and aggressive and in my opinion you were abusive to her. You kept interrupting her and telling her she was wrong and the difference should be $100.95. You must have repeated that at least 1/2 dozen times. Well she was not wrong Ralph, you were. My advice to you, is to grow up and  learn to respect woman. Frank. (Editors Note: Ralph ran out to Google and gave us a low mark. And that is ok, because we are still doing just fine, but I'm betting Ralph is still struggling with 3d grade math).
 

All this information is Awesome!!! to be honest with you when i first opened this i thought .. HERE we go.. bad news! I was amazed as i read on.. This is something i have never experienced when ordering from anywhere. Thank you so much for all this information as i'm sure it will help. I was a bit leary about ordering last night from this unknown site but when i searched on Sears website and couldn't really find what i was looking for the "personal shopper" chat feature on the Sears website directed me to your site. I will be looking forward to getting the tv and will be sure to follow all your instructions! Thank you again for taking the time to send the information! Have a safe holiday weekend!

Diane King
Lisbon Falls, Maine

Hi Diane,
I am impressed that Sears would recommend us. They are a pretty big chain. We have also had Circuit City and other large chains recommend us. Marissa and I decided to write tips on the TVS, Vu Qubes and Trucker GPS, because we find that many people have a bit of trouble with them. We started with the TVS because the instructions that come with them can be a bit confusing. Our basic goal at RoadTrucker is to offer the type of service that we would like to have when we shop and make a purchase ourselves. Unlike most internet stores, we actually buy the products and test them, go to the product shows and stock many of the products we sell. We understand the products and we understand the business. It is probably why we are 1 of the few Google 5 star Stores on the internet. Enjoy your new 19" Skyworth. It is one of our favorite TVS. Frank

Editor's Note: Diane was referring to the email tips we send to customers who purchase one of the LCD TVs. We also send a tips email for the Vu Qubes and the Trucker GPS.
 

I am so glad you are a patient man. I checked all I could check and finally decided to box it up. The thing that was throwing me is that our other one I can leave both ac and dc plugs in and it changes automatically in the TV. Well when I hooked up the other TV after all the messing around, and plugged in just the dc, it would not work. This gave me an idea. I unboxed the other one, unplugged the RV from the ac and plugged in the TV. I have sound and a great picture. Now I know, one or the other, not both. Thankyou again for all the ideas. It made me think about some things anyway. You are great to do business with.

Georgia Cox

Union, OR

I don't quite understand what your talking about, but if I were to guess, I would say that when you plug into the 120 volt power source, it automatically shuts off the 12 Volt system. Not sure, unless I look at it. If this is the case, I do not understand why you were able to get a picture, unless it just interferes with the 12 Volt source a little. Anyway, as many of the Skyworths we have sold and also bought ourselves, we know it is an excellent TV. We even have a 32" 120 volt Skyworth. It is our favorite TV. Glad you got it working. Enjoy.. Frank

Editor's Note: Georgia was not getting sound using the 12 Volt adaptor, but did get sound with the 120 Volt adaptor. This means the TV was good, but we still needed to help her solve her problem, so several emails were sent back & forth.
 

Frank,
Thank you very much for handling my order for an Engel MT35. I ordered it Friday, Engel shipped it Monday and the UPS guy delivered it today (Wednesday - 05/13/09). You and your staff are the greatest.

Jerry Jones
Black Mountain, NC

Your welcome Jerry. You will find the Engel is by far the best product you have ever purchased. Enjoy your Engel. Frank
 

Hi Frank, Thank you very much for all the time and information you gave me on the phone. Your first hand experience is just what I needed to make the decision to go ahead. All the best.

Your Welcome and enjoy your new MT80 & TwoZone Orion. It has already been shipped and is on it's way. Frank

In May, I paid $1979 to Frank at Roadtrucker.com for Engel and TwoZone refrigeration equipment. Included was $321 for insulation covers for each unit. I've been unable to get near the insulation covers because they give me a headache and put me into a stupor. I've aired them out over the summer, but that hasn't helped.

Frank was the friendliest, most personable retailer I'd met in a long time when I was buying this equipment. However, when I called to explain this problem, he was entirely different -- he told me I could throw the covers away or give them to a friend. When I asked for contact information for the two manufacturers, he gave me his email address, told me to "have a nice day," and hung up on me.
 

Orion Crawford

Cedar Crest, NM

Yes Orion, but you set me up by continually repeating "What am I supposed to do with these covers". And what I said was "it is really is not ours to say. You can do whatever you want with them. Throw them away, give them to a friend, sell them on eBay or anything else.

I told you to have a nice day and hung up the phone, because I found you to be very repetitive and aggravating and felt it best to terminate the conversation. You know very well you were going to continue to beat on me until I told you to shove them where the sun don't shine. I chose not to do that. You had 30 days to return the items. You took 3 months. That's irresponsible. If you were a remotely reasonable person, you would not have even called, let alone try and stick me for $321. 

I am sorry you have allergies, but good grief man it was 3 months after you bought them.  Get some allergy shots! Frank
 

thank you so much for the prompt service re:my order RC5117202.your selection was very good,and the product arrived,"as advertised"

richard legault
port saint lucie, florida

Thanks Richard, Sorry for the late reply. We have been on the road to new product shows. We always appreciate it when customers recognize the extra effort they receive at RoadTrucker.com. Frank
 

I got the Vu Qube from RoadTrucker and it arrived in two days, awsome shipping. Also the person I talked to on the phone was very helpfull on answering all my questions, very knowledgable. If you are thinking about buying a Vu Qube you will not regret your purchase, I love it keeps me from going outside and setting up a dish in the cold weather. Here is some usefull info on the Vu Qube you don't need to put it outside I keep mine on the top bunk strapped down you just gotta make sure your truck is pointed south and you will find the satilite. Also I'm driving a freightliner condo cab but the top is made of fiberglass. If you put the Vu Qube on the dash when you park it works there. RoadTrucker love your site and I will be buying from you again, and if you have a suggestion on a new 40 quart cooler. I had the Coleman and it broke within a year so something else with about the same price range. Thanks again RoadTrucker.  Sincerly

Nowyll Trippe
Norwalk, OH

First thanks so much for the nice comments and appreciation. You are the customer we are in business for. As for the Cooler, we recommend the Koolatron's that say 1 year warranty. Basically the numbers that start with a "P". If your a long hauler, we definitely recommend at least taking a serious look at the Engel 12 Volt Refrigerator Freezer. They are the very best that are available anywhere. Frank.
 

wow what a hell of a good site for us truckers. just bought a tv dvd player. planning ojn getting sate antenna and blanketwe do not have apu systems so this will come in handy. will come to your site for all my truck needs again thank you penny aka squirt.

Thanks Penny,
We do spend a lot of time on our website, in addition to checking out products and trying to find the best of them whenever we can. Frank
 

Frank,
I worked in Customer Service for 38 years and its the personal service that makes the difference! Thanks for your quick response.

Joel Webb

Youngsville, NC

Hi Joel,
Thanks for the appreciation. We are actually on the road this month, but we still try to provide a decent level of service, even when we are traveling to the new product shows. My emails to AirHawk have bounced back, so they may be having trouble with their server. I will try and call them today and get back to you. Sorry for the delay. Frank
 

Frank,
Just wanted to let you know that I received the shipment this PM. Everything was as advertised. Thanks for your excellent service. I will keep you in mind when it comes time to make another purchase.

Tony Fulcher
Morehead City, NC

What can we say? We love the people who take the time to say nice things about our business and service  Frank.
