Audible illusions Slow customer service


Just had to post this, been contemplate-ing doing so,Contacted the company for a power supply- as they didn't have one, but they had an older unit that they would refurbish and sell me for a very nice price. Well they found a problem in the unit that they couldn't get it up and running.That was over 1 full year ago, still coming up with reasons for delay.Nice units id find someone trustworthy to send repairs to...

Have you just asked for them to send it back? They aren't that exotic. Any qualified tube tech should be able to repair it.

Here is what happened, needed a Power supply only for a l1 thought factory might have one. no

But he offered me a trade-in that he would  refurbish, paid him the money now he comes up with every excuse there is , Nice fellow but..

I want to warn people about doing business with Audible Illusions. I initiated a trade in on July 17, 2021. I made the final payment for the new unit on August 16, 2021 when Art told me that the new preamp would “ship by the end of the week.”

It did not ship by the end of the week. Nor did it ship by the end of that month. I spoke to Art in the first week of every month since then and he kept telling me that it would “ship by the end of the month.”

It’s now January, 2022 and I still don’t have the unit. I told Art that I’ve decided I don’t want to deal with him anymore and that I want a refund. He refused to give me a refund and told me that he doesn’t have any money to refund. He called me back about 20 min later and pleaded with me to take the new unit which he said he’ll “ship by the end of the month.” I told him please not to send the unit (I don’t believe his promises anymore anyway) because I just want my money back at this point. He said during this second phone conversation that he’d do his best to refund my money “by the end of the month.”

There are many companies out there. Please think twice about working with Audible Illusions. I have been mislead pretty much from the word go.

In the interest of being fair I will post if and when I get a refund.

 

 

 

 

That's a real shamejj71, and I really feel for you. He has lied and used you and your money. I hope that you get it back, and that this is a warning to any others considering doing business with him. 

@roxy54 Have you just asked for them to send it back? They aren't that exotic. Any qualified tube tech should be able to repair it.

 

^^^ +1.  Exactly. Get your AI preamp back at least.  Can you do this, even if you send them a prepaid ship label?
