“Very informative and easy to understand”

Brandon B.
1/25/24

Wow, what an experience! Went in not knowing much about what to go with regarding installing a new stereo unit in my vehicle, and Adam Price was extremely informative and told me exactly what I needed! He set me up with everything, and explained how every component works. Very happy with this company and highly recommend them.

“Bad customer service”

Don L.

Bought a set of speakers. Tried to contact them as soon as I got them. One of them was no good. It was blown. Asked him to do a exchange. They declined and said they won't do anything. Will not do business with them again

I ordered a sub box blaring them and it's been a months so I still don't have it! It's very frustrating and I won't shop there again

Tip for consumers:
Don’t order any sub boxes that they don’t have in stock

Do not buy from this company poor communication and helping you recover your package they lie continually

Products used:
None didn’t receive them and they lied about their communication with Fedex. Contacted Fedex and their are waiting on them so I can be refunded, they lied continually saying that a claim was started. I contacted Fedex and they said the business have not done anything it’s going on a month. FedEx has already considered the package lost and told me when I was on the phone with them if they would have done what we asked I would have been for my refund

Purchased a subwoofer cover 10" size at a good price. Received it and checked fit by hand without mounting it. Decided to go with a larger 12" cover so I could keep the original beauty ring. I requested and received an RMA on March 9 and shipped within a couple days. March 29 I was told I would receive a store credit for about 60% of what I paid although their website policy clearly states a full refund (my product stated the 'standard refund policy applied' - they were metal speaker grilles anyway). I emailed that day saying I preferred a refund to my card - again exactly as their policy states.

APRIL 15 - someone finally emails me back to ask if I've heard anything further. I told them no and restated my desire for a refund to my card.

APRIL 26 they finally reply and say their warehouse team issued a store credit and they can't change it to a refund. I reply that day and state their website policy.

MAY 3 - they finally reply and "I'm not trying to be hard on you but our policy..." Even though their policy says I should get a refund. I reply that day and restate my case. They reply and say they'll see if their warranty department will agree to a refund but now they want to invoke a 25% restocking fee.

MAY 4 - They reply and state their restocking/return policy, none of which applies to my purchase or the condition of which I returned the metal grilles (no scratches, all parts, original box, etc). I explain yet again that the grilles were in perfect condition and ask for my refund.

MAY 5 - they reply "Since the refund has been issued, I can no longer reverse or override it. One option I can do on my end is to apply a store credit, I'm sorry this is the only thing that's within my scope." Funny - two days before they were checking with their warranty department but never mentioned any decision/feedback from the.

MAY 8 - I've been on the phone for 56 minutes with the same 5 callers ahead of me - really? 5 callers and not one completed call in nearly 1 hour. I finally chose the option to have them call me back. Any wagers on the over/under on how many days that will be even though the message says I won't lose my place in line?

AVOID THIS COMPANY LIKE THE PLAGUE.

Horrible Company --- Don't use this company ever! They charged my card for product they NEVER sent. Then they sent me a bogus tracking number that didn't track anywhere near my home, they sent me a photo of something that was NOT my home! They said to check my home, around my home. Then went I went to cancel it since I didn't receivve it, they sent me return stuff, when I called 'they sent me 'return stuff, then I caled and emailed them "i can't return something I NEVER got' then I called AGAIN, explained that I never got it. Then they sent me a affidavit, filled that out, had it notarized, scanned and emailed back, faxed it. Three times. The confirked it was received was told it would take 7-10 days, then got told when I called it would take 24 hours, it has been 3 days -- it is now 1/24 and they have still not returned calls/emails. I consulted an attorney and a legal aid and have paperwork prepared to file lawsuit to get my $$ back for product they never sent to me. All I want is my $$ back for something they never sent. I don't want a credit to their company cuz they never send product. I want my money back to my credit card! This company is a joke and I would not recommend them. Don't use this company for anything -- buy elsewhere or go to Amazon, you will get it from Amazon. This company steals your money and doesn't follow thru and sends product. They are scammers and theifs! Save yourself from being ripped off!

Tip for consumers:
Dont use this company for anything.....

SonicElectronix is currently my 'go to' source for electronics, specifically car audio. I have been a customer for around three years now and have placed 8 orders. Occasionally I will find the same product at a slightly lower price through another online seller or through EBay or Amazon, but despite this, I generally, but not always, buy from SonicElectronix as I am confident that if I had any issue, It would be promptly resolved.

The website is attractive, well organized and I greatly appreciate the high resolution pictures and indepth descriptions and specifications that accompany the listings. Shipping is always very quick and items are always very well packaged. SonicBux are also a bonus as well as the instant savings pop-ups.

Small beefs: Getting through by phone to customer support is nearly impossible with short queues but interminable wait times. I suppose they could probably use more phone service agents. Also, support tickets sometimes go unanswered. However, with that said, on my latest order I did not notice that an included wiring kit did not come with a set of interconnect cables (subwoofer that can be run off high level inputs). Although I did not receive a response to my ticket, my order was updated almost immediatelyand they threw in a free - and decent - set of cables.

I was a bit surprised to read some of the negative reviews regarding service and returns etc. These may well be valid criticisms. However, to date, my experiences have been very positive. SonicElectronix will continue to be my supplier of electronics until such time as I experience what some other customers apparently have.
