  1. Their website states orders received before 4pm go out the same day.
    When I found out today my order still hadn't shipped, I wanted to cancel.
    Their website clearly gave the impression an order can be cancelled if
    caught before sent out.

    Their customer service refused to cancel because my credit card had
    already been charged. I told her they're not supposed to do that (Fair
    Credit Billing Act) but she said that's what they've been doing for years.

    Basically, CSR disavowed the same day shipping before 4pm and the
    existence of a cancellation policy. Nevermind what their website says.

    BTW, I called my credit card company and they told me my account has NOT
    been charged.

    I should have checked their ranking in Epinion before ordering...this
    kind of incompetence/dishonesty seems to be par for the course.

    If you really need the order to ship, and arrive, on a certain date, your best
    bet is to call and ask. Don't just assume that because their web site says so,
    they will do it.

    For what it's worth I've been buying stuff from Supergo for about 6 years
    and have never had a problem. Of course I'm not a nit picker like some
    people we could mention.

    The thing is, their web site states one thing and their customer service
    says another. Call it whining or not picking, but if they say same day
    shipment for orders before 4pm, I feel that's exactly what should
    happen. If I'm not happy they didn't, I should be able to cancel my
    order and not be given a bunch of bogus excuses why I couldn't.

    My negative experience with them does not negate positive ones you've
    had in the past.

    Actually, it says: "Shipping Times Express orders (2nd Day and Next Day)
    received by us before 4:00pm EST are shipped the same business day. If you
    received our order confirmation email Monday - Friday, before 4:00pm Eastern
    Time, your order will be shipped the same day we received it. Please note
    that a very small number of orders require extra processing time for various
    reasons."

    So that begs the question: DID YOU PAY FOR EXPEDITED SHIPPING?

    Wah.

    I (and many others) have ordered from Supergo often over the years; never
    had a problem. (BTW, they'll take anything back if you're dissatisfied, so
    stop whining.)

    If you wish to retract or revise a web order that has been processed,
    get on the phone with our Customer Service department as quickly as
    possible (please have your Web Order Number in hand) and let us know.
    Please know that web orders are typically processed immediately so it is
    VERY likely your order has already been processed. Do not use email to
    contact us about cancellations.

    You can reach us in the USA and Canada Toll-Free at: 800-326-BIKE
    (800-326-2453).

    Since Supergo's goal is to ship all orders received before 4 PM (Eastern
    Standard Time) that same day, your order may already have been shipped.

    I have to agree that if they claim a policy and then fail to deliver then
    you shouldn't be liable for payment.

    My point is that if you are getting [censored] because they didn't mail
    something out in time you should be buying from your local shop and not
    Supergo.
