warranty service
Back in November of 2018 I purchased a pair of activheat heated gloves. After the 2nd use I noticed that several of the fingers were burnt through from the inside. These gloves carry a 1 Year warranty so I made several attempts to contact them by phone, and one attempt thus far to contact them via email. To date I've not received one response! I paid $177.00 for a pair of defective gloves that I expected to be promptly replaced. To say I'm frustrated is an understatement! Contact info is as follows, Cell-[protected], [protected]@yahoo.com.
Customer service
In my experience, the ActiVHeat company has essentially no customer service. I have called their telephone number repeatedly and left voice-mail messages, and I have emailed their customer-support address numerous times. Despite the fact that I have an obviously defective product, I have received no support from them at all. I did receive *one* email message, which acknowledged the problem and promised a resolution, but nothing further ever happened. The complete reply I received is as follows:
We’re going to send you out another battery pack this week.
Sorry for your trouble.
regards

BEWARE DO NOT ORDER ANY PRODUCTS IF YOU THINK YOU MAY REQUIRE A REFUND! I ORDERED A PRODUCT AND WAS DISSATISFIED AND THEY SAID TOO BAD! POOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION...I ordered the heated glove liners and used them a couple days skiing. The liners did heat but they limited circulation to my hands. I called the company and finally got a response. After I explained my situation, the customer service rep told me I could send them in for a different size...I told them that I wanted a refund that I was dissatisfied and I was simply told that they do not offer refunds only exchanges, , , , BEWARE.
Had an ActivHeat car seat recalled May 2011. By December, still had no replacement, despite several contacts with email customer service. However, in early Jan 2012, we did in fact receive the replacement heated seat cover. It works beautifully! Do not know if my continued efforts was the difference, or if they just needed the additional time to get product - from China, of course - BUT THEY DID COME THROUGH! Just our own experience.
Going through this problem as we speak!
Called and called, no response.
Emailed, no response.
Added a note to the order saying I need it for a trip, and no reply to say it wouldn't be here, yet look at the order online, still says processing?!
How did you cancel your order?
I placed an order with Activheat for a heated vest, they changed site to reflect unavaliable til fall day after(6 months away). When I orderd I asked to be notified if there was a delay as on day of order they were avaliable. NO reply, numerous emails, and calls from Australia no reply ever. Went to account details, to cancel order, even though that option is there it doesn't allow. I placed a complaint with fair trade to remove order. Unproffessional service. Reson I cancelled order was if they can not respond to sales enquirey, how could I tust if I needed a return. I suggest lodge a complaint. Disgusted with service will never use will recommend no one does.
no returns allowed
Received heated glove liners that do not function. You must have an authorization return number to return or exchange. The company has not answered several emails and phone calls for the number over a period of 6 weeks. In effect, there is no return or exchange for any reason. Even if you were able to get a return number, you must pay $20 to get the exchange.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

No Response or return
I sent the faulty battery back to the company with ALL their required paperwork. They promise a turn around of 14 days yet it has been over a month and they will not return my phone calls, faxes, or emails. You can only leave voice mail as no one answers the phone. I spent 200.00 on the jacket as a christmas present for my husband thru Brookstone and the battery only worked for a few days. It is supposed to heat the jacket. It does very well but is useless without the battery. If this is the quality customer service they have, I certainly would not buy any of their heated apparel.
