I purchased an air mattress on 3/26. I used it 3 times. On the 29th, I was away from home until the 31st. Lo and behold, when I return, I see the brand new air mattress, it's half deflated. I went to their web site and tried to file a complaint, only to find out after typing for 15 minutes, that the submit button is not active (that's one way to limit complaints) and of course, when you call the customer service line you are treated to the only phone line in the 21st century that has no voicemail option (again, another great way to limit complaints). After looking at all of the current complaints I understand that I have been ripped off by a professional and the best I can do is spread the word to avoid this garbage company's cheap, crappy products.Business Response

I bought an air mattress from this company that within a few months of using it it deflated slowly and I would sink during the night and refill it 2 or 3x. I tried a patch but could never find the hole. It has a warranty I did everything they require but they deny it every time. They want an itemized invoice which I sent them the invoice from the store I bought it online and only have one type of invoice. This is completely fraud. The are unwilling to honor the warranty and make it impossible to work on their website on it. I did my part I want them to replace the bed.Business Response

On 12/01/2023 I purchased two ITEX air mattresses from Target. They were picked up from the store on 12/02/2023. The mattresses were not used until a few days ago and both were damaged. One mattress would not stay inflated; and the second mattress slowly deflated throughout the night. Target would not take the product back, even though it was still within the eligible time frame to return, only because the store told me the company wanted to deal with their product issues. When I called the INTEX, I was told the warranty was 90 days and they would not replace or refund the mattresses.I had not used the mattresses and was unaware they were purchased damaged. I did not need the warranty because the mattress was purchased damaged and within the return period of the store where i purchased it. I would like to either return the damaged product for a refund, or receive a credit. Warranty is typically for a product that has been used, but might need to be fixed or replaced during a set time period. The item was damaged when I bought it.Business Response

I called about an issue with my intex hot tub. The rep said my part was under warranty and will send new parts. After waiting a week for the part the part received was not correct. I tried calling customer service and was told to send a pic of the new part and call back. When I called back the new rep was so rude to me and kept yelling at me instead of hearing my issue and try to fix it. When i asked to speak with a manager he said no call back and get a new rep and hung up on me. I called back and the same rep picked up my call, when he noticed it was me when i started explaining the issue he hung up on me again. I called back again and got a lady ***** who was somewhat help and tried to be a bit rude and told me i had to pay for the new part. I asked her to get me to a manager and she said she had to put in a call in request. I have never been treated so rudely when calling in for a issue of a product.Business Response

We sincerely apologize for the experience you had with our customer service team.

Our limited warranty only replaces the defective component. Regarding the communication issue, please note that as an inbound call center, agents cannot transfer calls. We do have a call back system in place, with responses typically within 1-2 business days. We deeply regret any inconvenience caused and assure you that we're taking steps to address the behavior you encountered. Your feedback is invaluable, and we'll use it to improve our service standards.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:
This does not solve my issues. I am stuck with a Intex product purchased only 8 months ago thats does not work. As the consumer calling into customer service I explained my issues throughly and it is up to the customer service department to assess my issues and fix it, not send me the wrong part. I do not work for Intex and do not know the difference in parts. I put my trust into Intex. I disregarded the piece after thinking I was sent the correct item.

Complaint: 21370835
I am rejecting this response because: the hot tub is still having the same issue and not working. The replacement part is not fixing the issue. The hot tub is defective and I purchased it from an online store which cant be returned. The unit is only 7 months old and does not work. I paid in full 650$ and spent hundreds of dollars on chemicals. The entire unit needs to be replaced, have someone come to my home and fix it or give me a full refund. I have spent many hours on the phone explaining my issues, many hours taking the hot tub apart and putting it back together and hundreds of dollars on my water bill for it to still be inoperable. As the customer to spend so much time and money and for the merchandise to breakdown within 6-7 months is ridiculous.
Sincerely,
*************************Business Response

I put in for the warranty of my airbed and they took a while , said my bed was on back order. Later I was told they would send me a substitute better than my bed, I said I would try out as long as it was better than mine. I received the bed and it was ridiculous and horrible , no where near as comfortable as my bed . Didnt even hold air completely, on there it says the air expands so you have refill it over the 1st night, 2nd night comes around it was going down . Myself and my baby were on a wobbly surface to the ground . Not only was the replacement substitute TERRIBLE but DEFECTIVE and all I can get is a dumb answer about how its nothing they can do because I accepted replacement and it was delivered . Asked to speak to a manager and ** told there is no one , Ill receive a call back which I never do. They are a ridiculous company , the customer service rep ******* even apologized and said if he was the company manager , or owner , he would send me another bed or compensate me for my bed. This is the worst company and the worst products , I definitely wont ever spend my money there again. Spent nearly $200 for a bed that went down the drain .Business Response

I bought a queen size air mattress with built in pump. It lasted a week and started leaking air. I called Intex. They said fill out the claim form I said I don't know where it's leaking from we can't see any holes or feel air from anywhere. The guy said it's probably from the air pump area. Just follow the claim form. Send us pictures of the receipt with the claim number on it. The box label and the area it's leaking and we will get you out a new bed. So I did all that. A week later I got a denial email saying I did not send in the proper photos. So I called. THATS when a lady...well 3 ladies told me to cut the plastic where the INTEX label is and send it in to us. They said FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN BLUE ON THE CLAIM FORM. It says to *********** in. Soooo I did all that. Using my own money to pay. I've waited 2 weeks. NOW I'm being told I was not suppose to send ANYTHING in I was just supposed to send in pictures. That's NOT what the instructions in blue letters told me to do. Everything time I bring this up they ignore me. So when I ask for a manager they say ooohhh someone will call you in 24 to 48hours. Yet they NEVER do. I was robbed.i followed instructions twice and got told noo you did it wrong. So it's a stall tactic.Business Response

We bought an Intex inflatable spa pool on December 21, **** to replace one we had that would no longer hold air. The new one arrived in two days, but after we set it up we discovered that this one also had a bad air leak and was unusable. We contacted Intex in ********** and they said they would send us another replacement once they received pictures that we had cut up the one they sent. We cut up the tub as directed but when the new tub did not arrive my wife contacted the shipping company and found out the delivery address was some 450 miles away to a home that we had sold years ago. Intex would accept no responsibility for this error, so now we are out over $200 and we cant even get an Intex Supervisor to call us back.Business Response

12-13-23 ordered replacement bladder for Pure Spa ordered through ******* as the one that came with the spa was defective. After 30 mins canceled the order as we found the hot tub base was defective and the entire spa needed to be returned. Received confirmation of my email cancelation, then received a shipping notice. Reached out to Intex again, told could not stop shipment to refuse. ***** delivered when I was not home so was unable to refuse the shipment. This item should never have been shipped, and the company refuses to provide a shipping label. Was hung up on 2x's by the same customer service person, *******. Was told supervisor would not approve a shipping label but kept insisting someone would call me back. Per a lot of feedback read on line, Intex has a terrible problem with supervisors never returning calls and leaving customers hanging, which is why I called back a second time, and got the same person, who again hung up on me. I called back for a 3rd time in a last ditch effort to resolve the problem. Talked to another **** ******* who advised there is nothing he can do but to call back if no one has returned the call within 2 days. Intex needs to provide a return shipping label for an order that should never have shipped and provide me with a full refund. Their lack of customer service is unacceptable, and they do not provide any of the front line persons with the ability to help customers, nor supposedly can they transfer a call to someone above them. How is that any kind of customer service? I am left with no choice but to wait 2 business days and then call them back once again. Terrible, and all over a defective spa unit that had to be returned on top of this replacement part order that should never have shipped. Poor non existent customer service from a huge company that should be doing so much better.Business Response
