I honestly don't know where to start with this company, I ordered he Zenith "level" water pipe 2 months ago. When doing so I had my money immediately taken from my bank account like i assumed would happen but never received a confirmation email. I tired to reach out to the support team, they did reach back but i say this so seriously in witch they couldn't help a fly land on $#*!. That being said I wanted to cancel the order and get my $109.50 back and when i then contacting them about doing so got a response with in a day telling me i could only get store credit and the only way to acquire a cash refund is within the first 24 hours of making the order. Mind you this was 2 months ago and i never received confirmation the order was placed in the first place. If i knew all of this in the first 24 hours of me ordering the pipe do you think I still would have ordered it? Basically a slap to the costumers face. On top of all of this they advertise priority shipping for like 5 or 7 extra dollars witch i got but then told me they could not fulfill because of covid. I understand the pandemic were in but why say you can do something you very clearly cant do. As of me typeing this no one has gotten back to me from hemper about where my order is or if i will even receive it. DONT WASE YOUR TIME OR MONEY, just go to your local headshop... HEMPER doesn't care about you they just want your money I promise that.
They dont respond in timely matter at all. False advertisement. I have been trying to get assistance since April 20th. Will not buy again
To start off, I will say that the quality of the products I received was quite decent. Everything after that is a nightmare.
1. I ordered a box using Hemper Prime shipping. It wasn't until I inquired a week after ordering my product, that customer service told me that their "Prime" shipping only came into play after the product left their facility. My package then sat in Las Vegas for over a week. I felt completely burned that I paid extra for this service, only to wait over two weeks to get my product.
2. When i finally DID get my package, I did not receive what i had paid for. I received a very generic glass piece. When i wrote my displeasures in an email, I was told that Hemper reserves the right to replace any item at any time (im paraphrasing). Funny this policy wasn't shown on their website.
3. I wrote multiple two star reviews, only to have my reviews vetted and never end up on the website (surprise).
4. After my displeasures, I cancelled my subscription. Low and behold, i received a confirmation email about a week later, stating my new box was on it's way. Another email, another load of generic crap. I was told that if i was unhappy with my order, I could send it back to their shipping facility. I avoided this, as I figured I'd never see my money back.
5. When i received my "April Mystery Box", IT WAS THE EXACT SAME BOX I HAD GOTTEN IN MARCH! I sent another email to the company, but don't expect anything other than generic, by the book answers.
I will never, EVER recommend ANYONE spend a dime with this company. There's a reason why they use a Columbia based internet address. One of the most dishonest companies i've ever had the displeasure of dealing with.
Answer: Scam, they don't send the "products " you order and only offer in-store credit in the event of a return.
Answer: Barely possible to get an answer. Sent multiple emails and never got anything back until a week later, and my question wasn't even answered. I asked for a refund because they charged me w/o my authorization, and their response told me how to skip a month on my current subscription. Like, wtf?
