    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.


    I had ordered this product with the agreement from the companies own website of receiving it between January - February. After not having received the item and reaching out to them the delivery was pushed back to March. Now it is June. They are consistently pushing back deadlines on a product I have already payed for and not fulfilling my order in the time frame I was originally promised. And now they are pushing the deadline further back 2 more weeks even though they’ve had 5 months longer than what was originally scheduled. I need immediate compensation for the product I never received or the product shipped to me as soon as possible. Not 2 weeks from now.



    Regards,

    I ordered a product from this company and have yet to receive it. I waited 6 months before reaching out because I was told it'd take a while to produce. I received an email saying it was due to ship in Feb. Then it was April. Then in May I reached out to see what the status was. I have not heard back from anyone regarding the status of the product. I asked if I could get a refund or if they has an ETA. They have ghosted me. It's going on almost a year.

    Hi,

    Please accept our sincere apology for the delays. We were temporarily down a customer service rep, due to an unexpectedly early maternity leave. We've been struggling to keep up with communication. This order has since been shipped. We hope you'll be satisfied with your purchase.


    Thank you for supporting small, family-owned businesses.

     

    All the best,

    On May 2nd 2023, I placed an order for "The Sidekick (APPENDIX)". I was informed during purchase that it would be a minimum 12 week wait which I was okay with. I sent my first email on October 26, 2023 and received a response on November 7, 2023. In that first email, I asked for an update because it had already been 5 months since I placed my order. I was told my order would be fulfilled in December. Again, I patiently waited. After not receiving anything again, I sent another email on 4 March 2024, requesting a refund and I received a response the following day saying they can't refund my money because they already ordered materials. I was told my order would be fulfilled and shipped in April and I still haven't received my order half way through May. There is no reason I should be forced to wait for over a year for a product.

    Hi,

    We apologize for the inconvenience; unfortunately production has experienced many setbacks in the last year, trying to keep up with the massive influx of orders we've received, while increasing staff and still outputting quality products. This order is currently in production and will be shipping as soon as possible.

    We appreciate your patience thus far in this matter.

    Thank you,

    On April 04, 2023 I ordered a level 2 holster for the Sig 365 Xmacro from the company.

    My personal email has deleted their emails since, however the lead time was 12 weeks and it has been over a year since purchase. Multiple times I have emailed to check when they’d ship the holster, and each time they told me it was going to ship a month or two later. The latest email was in January of this year, where they assured me it would ship in March. My order number with the company is #**********, so they should that on file.

    The last email I sent them has yet to receive a response, and I fear it won’t. I used my own money to buy this product for an application in law enforcement. As a police officer and Marine veteran, I’m disgusted that Northcoast Tactical can treat hardworking citizens this way.

    It is important to note that the original order was for a Glock43x holster, however Northcoast tactical updated my order to Sig P365 Xmacro holster last summer upon my request, though the order remains unfulfilled.

    We deeply apologize for the delays on this order. We've experienced an unprecedented amount of setbacks in the last year, but we're working diligently to catch up and bring our lead time down to a normal time frame. This order is completed and will be shipping.out today. We are grateful for the continued patience and understanding.

    I ordered a custom holster through their company. A day later I was looking at my order and realized the turn around time was going to be 8+ weeks. I contacted them via email to request a refund/cancellation which they denied. They stated a refund could not be made on custom orders once materials had been ordered. I asked them to provide evidence materials had been ordered or my order started. they ignored my emails. I did a quick search on reddit to see if anyone else had dealt with this company and reddit is filled with horror stories on how this company treats their customers. 10/10 wish i had done research before engaging with this company.

    To whom it may concern,

    We run and operate a small, family-owned and operated business, specializing in fully custom made products. Ninety percent of our products are made-to-order, meaning materials are purchased based on specific orders that come in. Because of this we have a strict no-refund policy once custom orders are placed. We state this explicitly, as well as our current lead times, on our website and require all customers to agree to the terms and conditions of our website before they can place an order. Opinions on how we run and operate our business are irrelevant, as all information about our policies are provided and agreed upon by the purchasing party.

    Regards,

    Made a pre-order on a product with the agreed lead time of “12 weeks minimum” on 06/2023.
    Waited the allotted 12 weeks prior to any communication with business with a few extra weeks for good measure. Reached out at the 4 month mark and received a generic response due increased work load and setbacks.
    Asked for a refund with hopes to purchase the item at a later time once lead times drop. No response from the retailer recieved as of yet.

    Mr. ********,

    We do sincerely apologize for this confusion. At the time of your initial email we had 300+ inquiries, so we hired a temp, who we thought was ultra efficient, but it turned out he was just copying a pasting a response without answering customer's questions. We've been cleaning up this mess ever since. Unfortunately, due to the method of payment, your order in unable to be refunded. What I can do is make sure this order gets completed for you as soon as possible. So we will have this out to you this upcoming month of February.

    Again, we apologize for this inconvenience.

    All the best,

    Dan

    Hi ****,

     

    We do sincerely apologize for the delays in production and communication. Your order went into production in October. We've had a lot of unexpected setback and further delays with the holiday season, but it is in the final stages of production and will be shipping before the end of this year. We greatly appreciate your patience and support in these unprecedented times. 

    Thank you,

    Hello ******, 

    We do sincerely apologize for the delays and inconvience this has caused you. We've had many set back and unexpected delays this year, so unfortunately our lead times have defaulted to "or longer," but we are beginning to catch up. I looked into your order and it is currently in production, as it is still December, and we still planned to have it fulfilled this month.

    Please let me know if you need further assistance,
