Got an interesting letter from the RCMP today

[rjmack]

if the information is as bad as your competency of being able to create a link that works, it must be terrible news

well, it's probably not good news if you are figuring on getting more than 10 cents for a used everlast welder.

Don't you own a scanner. I can't read that

scanner is hooped.

I suppose that is a potential problem with just about anything you buy any more
In my opinion, you seem to have serious emotional problem regarding it tho
I hope you get over it soon

Are the welders made in China? I have heard about quite a few Chinese-built products that carry safety certification markings but end up having no certification at all. They simply "knock off" the decals without ever going through the certification process. It's really important for any companies sourcing the products from China to be sure this stuff is in order.

I would be happy to sell you my everlast pa200, but the police have sent me a letter telling me to take it to the dump as quickly as possible. :confused3: :laughing:

I suppose if they told you to jump off of a bridge you would do that too?

fine, you want to get serious?

Everlast lied to me, and all of its other customers, for over 2 years.

they told us they were selling us tested and approved merchandise.

turns out they were printing phony labels and sticking them on themselves, and the machines were not tested or approved as claimed.

given this fraud, what do you think I should do?

I think settling for a full refund is a very reasonable position to take.

It's certainly less extreme than going the refund AND damages route.

There is no question Everlast threatened my well being by fraudulently claiming the machine had been tested.

This affects a limited number of Canadian customers...from 2010-2012 I believe, and all affected customers were sent letters. Actually rjmack, I am glad you posted this. I'll forward a release from Everlast Canada when I get it. It should outline that things as well, and a good point to show that things change as we and they have grown. As far as the dangers, anyone can get shocked from a welder...I know I have from all the brands. I haven't seen the letter myself, so can't comment on any specific comments. Everlast Canada is committed to working with the customer, I do know that.
As far as Scooby's comment, no, no one has been banned that I know of, and it was just recently posted up in our forum as this is a new release. This is something he is making up. The thread has not been taken down or locked, and is open for further discussion. In fact Duncan at Everlast Canada has just returned from the factory and is addressing this since he was at the factory during the release. As usual flaming the thread though.

Canadian laws are different...and it was indeed a production error from the factory that has been rectified. If it were an immediate issue, would it take 2 years for a letter like this to be generated or would it be voluntary? (My thoughts, not an official one)


Possibly Duncan may reply here himself, but they are taking care of things with each customer on a personal level if they want to call in and discuss the issue.

Try another picture in macro mode ("flower" mode on most cameras) with a lot more light.

what about my money?

why is Everlast only offering 10-50% and only applying it to purchase of a new machine.

you guys lied to me and you expect me to buy another one?

I would like 100% refund, in cash.
