KUIU - bad customer service
« on: February 21, 2017, 11:08:13 AM »
I bought a KUIU bino harness last year for my 10x42 binoculars. I was advised by KUIU to get an XL. The top flopped open and wouldn't stay closed. I contacted KUIU and they told me that I need a Large, not an XL.  I returned the XL, waited three weeks for a credit, and ordered the Large. The Large is too small and doesn't fit my binoculars. I contacted KUIU today and they said they can't refund the original purchase price; they can only give me another gift card. I will have paid for four shipments (two each way), and will have a gift card that is worthless to me (after waiting another three weeks for the credit, most likely.)

It's worthless only to me. I don't plan to make any more purchases from KUIU.

Got it. They should have refunded you since the product did not work for your binos. Put the gift card in the classifieds somebody will probably buy it

That's how I see it, since the purchase was made on their recommendation which turned out to be incorrect.

I will try to sell the card when I get it.

Swarovski EL. They have to be squeezed in with two hands.

Did you look at the u tube set up. I have the 10X42's also and didn't have any problems.

Gotcha, I run the slc's. The el's are a bit bulkier. Only complaint about the kuiu harness is that its not user friendly to go back and forth from the tripod, the snaps need to be down on the harness so that you do not loose the straps over your shoulders.

I have 12x50 El and they fit in a large.  It is tight but they fit.  I should have ordered the XL but I manage with what I have.

It amazes me this company is still in business.  They seem to have a very small market and that's all they care about.  But you get people drinking the Koolaid and that's all it takes these days.
