Default My Experience with Jafrum.com

I wanted to share an interesting experience that I had with Jafrum.com. On 13 MAY 2010, I ordered a textile jacket from Jafrum.com. After 10 days, I still had not received the order. I contacted Jafrum's customer support on 24 MAY 2010 inquiring as to the whereabouts of my order. I was told on 25 MAY 2010 that my order would be shipping out that day. I still have not received it a week later. I decided to email Jafrum's customer support again today. The customer support representative told that my order would be shipping out today, 2 JUNE 2010.

How the heck can that be possible, I asked myself? They told me it had shipped on the 25th. I decided to ask for a tracking number. See the email below for the full scoop. Jafrum flat out refused to help me track down my order and blatantly lied to me. I spent $134 on this damn jacket and neither of us has any idea where it is, it would seem.

I have placed several orders with Jafrum before and they all worked out pretty well. This is the last time I will ever buy anything from them.

Nice attitude and curt response. This will be the last purchase I ever make through Jafrum. I will be sure to share this email with everyone on hdforum.com and the Harley Owner's Group. YOU ARE WELCOME.

I did not order anything from Helmet House. I ordered a Fieldsheer Jacket and was advised by a customer service representative that the order had shipped out on 25 MAY 2010. How could it have shipped today if it shipped on the 25th? Is there a tracking number for this item?

Then there is an issue with the website. Upon submitting the contact form on the website, the order number, reason for inquiry and email address are all required. If it was not forwarded to you, I would have that looked into. Thank you for your assistance with this matter. It is greatly appreciated. Have an enjoyable holiday weekend.

I placed this order over 10 days ago and still have not received the items nor a tracking number despite the order having been fulfilled. Can someone kindly advise of the whereabouts of my merchandise? Thank you.

Has your CC been debited yet? If so call the card company and dispute the order stating the reason. If not cancel the order and call the CC company to let them know the circumstances so it doesn't get charged later.

I had something like that happen once. It was with American Classic motors. Some guy ended up calling me to tell me the item was on back order and he would cancel the order or i could wait it out. To bad all vendors couldn't be so up front about their screw ups.

ya that sux, i for one just added them to the do not buy list, i would dispute it with your card company, of call the police dept in there town and file a report for theft. that is what they did and it is a crime, further more if you paid by money order or with a check through the mail its federal.

i use paypal and i'd dispute the SOBs and get a refund immediately cuz you got a limited time to dispute.
I ordered a leather face rag from em n got one for a tiny skull with cheap velcro (they barely grip) attachments instead of a leather tie straps like i thought i was getting.
i haven't made a 2nd order and most likely never will.

They already charged my card weeks ago and I used a Visa debit, so I might as well have paid cash. Lesson learned there, though I have not had any issues with other reputable online retailers.
