After leaving items in a basket, Zack reached out via text asking if he could help me complete the purchase. I responded saying that I'd like to use my points along with the current 25% off retail promo. He recommended I contact customer service via email, so I did. After 24 hours no response was received. I let Zack know this and he asked that I reach out again. I finally did receive a response and Kari said it's not allowed to use points in connection with a discount code. Very well but realize this. No one is going to purchase items on combat iron apparel at full retail price. The items are overpriced period. We as consumers will use a discount code. With that being the reality, when will we ever be able to use our accumulated points? Never. So why even have a point system that is structured to not be utilized. Now, by this time with the back and forth and getting nowhere, the 25% code expired. I made Kari aware of this and she said she would, this one time only as a courtesy, apply the code. Spare me your generosity first of all. Even then I was inclined to make the purchase. I then receive a message from a 3rd person named Billy. Billy tells me to complete the purchase at retail and that my payment would be adjusted for the discount. Since I had left the items in my cart, Zack text me again asking what was going on. I let him know that I'd rather make the purchase with the promo at checkout rather than being adjusted afterwards. He then sends me back to customer service where Billy, or who knows who it was by this time, that it's again a one time courtesy and that it couldn't be done. Reaching out to customer service is like a tennis match with these guys obviously skewing the game in their favor. They could have taken care of this situation at the first touch but instead tossed it around like a hot potato ultimately losing a customer. The shorts they sell are cool but highly absent the value at their high retail and their customer service is a customer disservice. They have an opportunity to turn this around, and bring a veteran owned business I hope they would but I'm doubtful of that. I'll post this on other review formats as well to help potential customers make a decision on knowing wether to buy from these guys or flat out save their money, time, and a bad experience. read more
