Not sure where to post this, but I placed an order two weeks ago, got the message the payment went through and since then nothing. I've tried emailing and pm'ing him and no response. Not sure where to go from here.

Is there a better way to get a hold of him?

:/

With Rootmedic you just have to be patient. Justin lives up in South Dakota (if I remember correctly) and its fairly remote. The packages go through USPS and with a couple of my orders THEY were the hang up, just letting packages sit around.

To compound the problems Justin is usually extremely busy. I think he's an EMS and works really crazy hours. He'll get back to you and he'll do what he can to make it right, but patience is key.

It's not really a business, it's more of a hobby-business for him I think. So, good quality stuff and nice guy, but I don't think you can expect a constantly high level of service from him. I'm sure you'll get your stuff ASAP!

 

[penpal]

Far enough, I don't mind waiting. A little communication would be nice though, it's just kinda frustrating not knowing whats going on.

USA / Canada mail is notoriously slow for no apparent reason. I've had packages get to me from Hong Kong faster than I got a package from Windsor at that's only an 8 hr drive from my home near Chicago.

+1. I ordered things from Hong Kong and US on the same day, and my package from Hong Kong came first...in fact my package from the US is already 3 business days behind my Hong Kong package.

I ordered a package (ultimate kit worth $100) in mid September and still do not have it. There have been "issues" which I've been more than flexible in accomodating.

If I do not hear from him by Thanksgiving a fully detailed write up of my experience will be posted. There will be no lack of emotion...

Thanks for the info. I do not want to break any forum policies, but feel that potential customers should have an opportunity to hear buyer feedback.

I know you can leave a review on pTrader if you purchased something through this site, but I purchased through rootmedic's site. Can you suggest the appropriate place to inform others of my experience?

Have you tried emailing him?

I've had some pretty good customer service from Justin and I don't see him as someone who would be called out and unanswered.

Yes, I've emailed him using his website's contact info and replying to his previous emails. I allow numerous days (usually over a week), before attempting to contact him again.

Without going into detail, I don't doubt what you say about his customer service. WHEN he has responded he has been very apologetic and offered to make things "right."

He could be spending the Holiday with family.

 

[penpal]

So I got a response from him finally, from what he tells me is that some how his email and password was changed and he wasnt informed. Anyways he says he is working overtime to sort everything out. Hopefully i get my order soon.

I'd give some time, he's not the type of ignore etc, stuff happens and if you are one guy, go out hiking and fall, have a bone sticking out of your leg, well..........I know him enough to say he's be very happy to send and ship if he was around.

I also have had some problems with rootmedic lately.I ordered some root tabs on 11/10 and it said that they still have not shipped. I emailed Justin but he never responded so I was worried. I am glad I found out what happened before my parents made me try to refund my order.

 

[dropkick706]

For the record, I'm emberrassed to introduce myself to the planted tank forum through this thread. I can see from the responses preceding this post, Justin has earned himself a strong reputation.

I sent him another message through his website last week and PM'd him here tonight.

I will continue to wait patiently.

 

[Ben!]

I still have not heard from him either and I am still waiting as well.I have no problem waiting because everyone says he is a good guy and if he has something going on I dont want to bother him.

 

[Fat Guy]

if you've been waiting over two weeks, why not cancel your order with him and pick up some dry ferts and go from there instead? Justin sounds like a good guy, but if people are having such issues with him, then why not examine other options for fertilizing your tank. I hope he resolves these issues and everything is ok..
