Default Retailer RevZilla

Has anyone experienced this...

While searching/looking for different slip ons (Cobra 4” neighbor haters for example) for my Ultra Limited, I found them for $404.96 on RevZilla. While searching on... I found them at Denniskirk for substantially less. *$291.72*

RevZilla advertises a price match guarantee. I’ve bought from them/RevZilla before, so I inquired (and sent them the link/URL as per their instructions) about their guarantee. I received a response via email, explaining they would not be able to honor their advertised policy. Needless to say, I was taken back by their response... long story short, email correspondence between myself and RevZilla, began.

As some of you have stated, it too has been a little while, since I’ve ordered from Rev. I was always satisfied with the purchasing process and end result. (NOT NOW!) Which is why I inquired about price matching. A repeat customer is usually a satisfied customer?

I will more-than-likely give Dennis Kirk my business! I’ll reward not only them, but myself I’m the process.

I was shocked, even a little pissed (to say the least), that a reputable company, who advertises price match, doesn’t actually price match. At least not in my case!

If there’s one thing I know, and without any hesitation... RevZilla lost me as a customer!!
You know, that`s another thing. Price match? Why not price beat? If you are only matching it, I`ll buy from the vendor that had the best price in the first place. Price match is bullshit. I want price beat. Even if it`s only by a buck.
Rant over.

Revzilla ain't cheap. There are LOTS of other retailers out there that beat Rev.

But they DO have a decent return policy.

Pretty sure Revzilla has recently been purchased by a holding company that also bought out Cycle Gear
That may be the change in policy

The cycle gear holding company tie in would explain why I get email sale ads from both stores on the same day for darn near the same gear

Not on Sena or Cardo communications stuff.Unless this changed, They won't take a return.
I'd only buy someone who will take back a problem product - Amazon, for example.

Apologize if this is too far off the topic of Revzilla, but it seems worth mentioning...
I've had OUTSTANDING experience's with Dennis Kirk, and JP Cycles in a couple of instances when a return was necessary.

I have but will not again. If their price match policy is “selective, they should make that clear in their advertising. By that I mean up front, not in some fine print.

Exactly!

The last (thus far) email I received from RevZilla, I was told, “if I find another authorized US dealer with a cheaper price, they would match that price.”

Talk about splitting hairs!!

I've used Rev Zilla for stuff but have been shying away lately. Been using Parts Giant a lot more. They got me a real good deal (and an HD forum discount) on the S&S tear Drop air filter for my bike.
