509 Goggles - Terrible Customer Service!

Has more to do with the fact he has been on here for years giving great customer service. So those of us that are used to seeing him and hearing the great things are a little sceptical when a noob comes on and starts throwing trash.
 
I also vouch that I received an incorrect order from 509. Tried contacting Tom twice with no results. Thankfully I am not very picky so I haven't said anything. Did take a little longer than I expected but rode with them already and they are an awesome product so I am keeping the wrong ones. Very satisfied with the product, not so satisfied with the service.
 
Tom is a great guy, he upgraded my shipping at no extra cost just so i would have them in time for my trip.

The goggles look great and work awesome. Only had one time they fogged up on me and it was my fault.

Only one disappointment with them, i ordered and extra set of lenses blue mirror, with blue tint, they came with a lil scratch in them. But didnt affect my vision at all so i just wore them anyways. Rode with them one day and they look like i have been wearing them for a hole season, many scratches. They scratched very easily and they didnt get thrown around... the original lenses i have 2 days of riding in the same spots without being thrown around and they look good as new.

Anybody else have problems with their lenses scratching easily?
 
ya know when a guy with some history posts his expierience it is real easy to look back and see.... is this guy a chronic whiner or a stand up guy who got screwed. a guy rolls in and puts a BS post for his maiden voyage.....unreal.

I suppose if you deal with enough folks there will be some problems. I feel for anyone that gets hosed on any deal, we have all been there and if not will be. but to register on a forum just to bash a vendor is crap.
 
hmmm

Sorry if this offends anyone...but i really appreciate the reviews on here. Both the good AND the bad. They've really helped alot in my purchase decisions.
 
Gentlemen the name of the game here is customer service we all understand mistakes are made. The key here is the lack of communication to the customer, weeks with out any email or phone contact is unacceptable. There is no excuse for bad customer service.
As far as this isn't the place to vent about bad service that is crap! This is exactly the place to vent.
 
I also ordered 509 goggles from tom. Recieved in short time, but they do not have the chrome lense. They are clear with a yellow tint. He told he that they were chrome, i just had to put them up to a mirror! What does he think i am an idiot. wrote back to him many times and now he wont write back.
Last time i do any bussiness with him.

Like I mentioned before, I am very confident you received chrome/yellow and not plain yellow. That is what the factory installs in all the goggles. Feel free to send them back for me to check. If they are in fact plain yellow I'll send you 10 free chrome yellow lenses.

Placed an order the first part of December on the website and I received my order on Friday, December 12 and it is all wrong. Ordered 2 SNOW camo goggles and I received 2 SKULL camo goggles. Ordered 2 extra lens of the orange tint/chrome and I received 1 just orange tint. I ordered 2 quick snaps and received only one. I was charged for all the product. I have e-mailed Tom twice to no answer....I also called and left several messages to guess what...NO ANSWER or reply. These were to be Christams gifts and had to hold off on giving them because the order was not correct. It is now the 3rd of January and have had no response to my phone messages ot e-mails. I have contacted my credit card company to begin the dispute process and cancel the payment.

If thinking about ordering anything 509, you may want to hold off!! Justy FYI!

Sorry I messed up your order. I did double check and you did order Skull Camo and not snow camo. Simple oversight, however we shipped what the order listed. Here is a copy of your order contents (please double check your order confirmation email)....

2 x Sinister Goggles - 2009 Model

- Goggle Hard Case: No Thanks
- Goggle Accessories: Quick Strap Compatible Straps (+$30.00)
- DVD Special: No Thanks
- Dirt Accessories: No Thanks
- Additional Lens #3: None
- Additional Lens #2: None
- Additional Lens #1: Chrome lens - Orange tint (+$30.00)
- 09 Goggle Style: Skull Camo
The mistake was that we mistakenly shipped one each of your accessories and not two, our fault. I will correct that. PM me if you would like to exchange your skull camo for snow camo, that will be no issue.
 
Wow, I'm Impressed. Way to take your first to posts on this forum and bash someone.

Tom is an awesome person to deal with and he will make it right with you. It's a busy time of year for snowmobile products and Tom is a very busy person doing all his retail sales and the videos.

Firefag22, please do everyone a favor next time before you post. Unzip your pants, pull down your tighty whiteys, spread your cheeks and pull your head out of your a$$ before you start typing. Thanks in advance

Hey anyone recall the time Tom drove to Kellog ID to help a special person figure out how to put goggles on the correct way?
 
But then again, I'm still waiting for my copy of Evolution to show up that I never ordered......
 
Tom, thanks for the quick reply on the forum...

I will double check the e-mail confirmation on the skull vs snow camo. We did only recieve one of each of the accessories (1 quick strap, 1 extra lense). The extra lense we recieved is marked on the package as a Orange Tint/Chrome, but it is in fact only orange tint-no chrome. Appears to be mis-labeled.

Sorry for the public outcry....normal means of business were leading to no avail. I happen to be in retail myself and understand at times it can be overwhelming. Not trying to bash your product it appears to be a great product! Just needed some resolve to my issue.

Please PM me with a way to get in contact with you.
 
again.. tom comes through to make it all right..


first ride in the deep stuff this weekend with the 09 googles.. :eek:.. didnt belive they could be better than the 08's.. but they are :D

Thanks tom

They are chrome. Just like I stated to the guy above, you can't see the chrome finish until the lens is installed and you are wearing them. But rest assured they are chrome. Once you are wearing them, they'll be just like a mirror.

Just PM me here again, I'll ramp things up tomorrow and all week. Been on vaca for Christmas & new years, shipping every chance I get. I'll get you squared away.

Pinnedunderdoo, PM me as well. I've never received a PM from you. We state on the website, hoodys run small. I'm 6'4" and wear a 2x just fine. We have 3x if you want to try one. PM me the details.
 
with the way folks consistently get on here to bash 509 it makes be wonder if one of his competitors starts these 509 bashing threads?
 
if ya have a good product ya have no competitors,you create them with no confidence...l will need goggles soon...these sinisters...pardon the pun...have caught my eye...

i just left a short brief message in a pm to make sure it works first before i get into details. thanks for responding quickly.
 
I love when people leave me red rep and don't sign there name. They try to leave a sarcastic comment that comes out sounding like two retarded kids battling it out for 27th place in the spelling bee. And still don't have the balls to leave a name. Figures
