Company is falsely advertising product and offering warranties which they refuse to answer to emails. Company has turned off comments on all social media platforms to prevent people from sharing their thoughts. Company also billed my card a second time for something which had not been purchased a month after the originalCustomer Answer

Purchased tint for car on 22-Dec from a ******** post. They said 2 weeks for delivery. After 2 weeks I asked for a status. They sent an email saying they were working on the Oder. After 4 weeks I asked again. They sent an email on 23-Jan with a **** tracking number, but it only says a label was created. I have been going back and forth with them on when the item will be delivered and the keep saying it takes 2-5 days for the carrier to update. Well it has been over 2 weeks and the tracking only says a label was created. I requested a refund and they said they cant refund me because the item shipped already but it hasnt. There are other people complaining about not receiving there order. They have turned off comments on most of their posts so people cant see the bad complaints.Initial Complaint

Ordered full package tint on Oct 7th 2024 for $143.98. Sent an email Nov 2nd 2024 asking when it would be shipped out, received a response November 14th 2024 with some BS and them lying and saying my package was already shipped when it wasn't. The tracking information stayed the same until this morning Feb 8th 2025 where it magically said out for delivery with *****. ***** updated with a delivered notice and I checked the delivery proof which showed a completely different house from mine. After posting to a community page I located the property owner where it was supposedly delivered. The lady was helpful and sent pictures of the packages still in her yard showing and confirming nothing there was addressed to me. They tied my shipping information to another address in my city to try to show proof of shipping/delivery. Well I have picture proof they are 100% a scam.Initial Complaint

11/19/2024 order ***** was confirmed by this company for a set of tints for my 2020 Acura TLX sedan. The total cost was $188.47. The companys policy stated a lifetime guarantee for the product. It took multiple weeks to arrive and when I went to install the product they were clearly faulty and did not remotely come close to fitting. I promptly sent a message indicating this and was met with a generic email response to provide documentation which I eventually did. I was offered a replacement set at no additional cost at which point I asked for a refund instead and was never responded to again. I subsequently reached out to multiple times and each time was responded to again with the same generic email response, indicating there is minimal human response to customer service issues.Initial Complaint

Placed an order for window tints on 12/27/2024. Was advertised that order would be shipped in 7 days. I emailed 4 times and each time someone would reply that my order has been manufactured and that they'll mail would be shipping the order within the week. We're now going on almost 2 months with the same excuse and still haven't been sent my order. I requested they refund my purchase and they ignored my request and replied again that they'll mail were going to be sending my order. This is an ongoing scam they have going on because once I googled some reviews they do this oftenInitial Complaint

I ordered this product on 12/29/24. I emailed about 4 weeks later on 1/21/25 to see where my order was at. I was told that it was just shipped and system was waiting for a tracking number. I emailed again on 1/29/25 about my order, I got no response. As of 2/1/25 I still have no response on where my order is or if they actually shipped it.Initial Complaint

They sent me the complete wrong product. After seeing it was wrong and in horrible condition. I emailed for a refund and to return there product. They request I unbox and take pictures to prove it didn't fit on the vehicle. I did what they asked and they responded they can't give a refund due the product being used. Now they will only offer a replacement, I really don't want there product after seeing how scratched it was do to poor packaging. I've asked for a refund several times and they refuse.Initial Complaint
