I ordered a Weigh Safe Hitch from realtruck.com on the Saturday after I bought my truck. Afterwards, I realized that I really needed a weight distribution hitch and that the Weigh Safe wasn't weight distributing. I called RealTruck the first thing Monday morning and ask them to cancel the order and the support person said she'd try. Half an hour later, I received an email saying the order had already shipped and it was too late to cancel but to call when I received it and they would give me a return authorization to ship the hitch back to them. I've been trying since it was received to get the return authorization with no luck. Ten days later I'm still get a runaround each time I call saying they're working on it but never any concrete action. I'm calling my credit card company this morning to involve them before 30 days has elapsed.



I did a google search for them and see that realtruck.com has many complaints and a very low satisfaction rating on the WEB.



Just a heads up before members here decide to do business with them.

Visa credited my account back for the amount of the hitch. I'll send the hitch back as soon as RealTruck sends me a return authorization and mailing label. Still haven't heard from them though.

Never dealt with realtruck.com until I ordered a tonneau cover from them two weeks ago. They shipped it immediately and gave me a great discount for being an FRF member.

Good afternoon @Terry

I wanted to apologize for the service you had with trying to return your hitch. There is no reason it should 10 days to receive a shipping label. While I know it's a little late, I would still like to look into the situation, bring it to our leadership teams attention and ensure a similar incident doesn't happen again. Additionally, I want to do everything I can to right the past. Could you please PM me your order number/email? If it's easier, please email me it alternatively at [email protected]. I will reach back out directly to you.

At RealTruck, our primary goal is to serve customers and delays such as this are unacceptable. I appreciate you bringing it up. In the future, if you are any other members have problems... Please use my forum team and myself as a resource. My direct email is above and you can PM as well.

With the internet and direct shipping you can now start a company from your backyard shed. It’s easy to make a website look professional and legit after signing on to be a distributor for different car accessory companies.

I agree, that’s trying. Keep in mind, all suppliers, vendors, manufacturers etc. are going to have issues. How they handle the issues is important. OP had a situation of his own making he tried to fix but the vendor let him down. They are trying to make it right. If they didn’t care, they wouldn’t bother.

kudos.
