^ The first refit took 6 weeks, and the other took over two months. Sue (who's related or married to Andy Regan) in repairs kept apologizing and thanking me for my patients via email. I was completely nice and understanding. She said that their musician customers (who come first) had emergency repairs and that the "show must go on". I said I completely understand. In fact, several times she thanked me for my patience all via email.
Then I got back this mess of a left earpiece with the cable sticking out away from my head and the fit wrong even though the fit was perfect before. It should have been visually obvious before they mailed it back to me. I emailed Sue, nicely, explaining my situation, and she stopped responding even though she was responsive before this. I called Andy Regan who tried to make excuses as if it wasn't a mistake with tons of attitude even though I approached him in a friendly manner. No apology or sorry for all you've been through, just attitude. I asked him if there was ever an application where the cable should stick away from the head. He said no and finally admitted it was a mistake. "He said we have so many of these things coming in and out of here". He said send it in, I said it was your mistake can you sending me a shipping label so I don't have to pay for a third shipment? He said I'll have Sue send you one. I have been ignored ever since. No shipping label, Emails don't get responded to, and they are always "out to lunch" or "unavailable" when I call.
I even said I'd take a refund if they don't have the ability to deliver what I paid for over 6 months ago. Ignored. I asked for someone other than Andy Regan, there was no one. He's the boss and he can just ignore you, and you can't do anything about it. So, I'm going to go through the repair process a third time, and send them in today paying $40-50 in shipping for a third time. I'm just going to suck it up and take the high road, hoping they have the ability to actually get things right. After this, I'd really hate to turn this into legal action, but I may have no choice if they don't deliver.
I don't post this stuff to trash JHA. There are many happy customers. I just want people to know what they might be getting themselves into. I would never have gone down this road had I known that they don't give a crap about their customer service unless you are one of their musician customers. There are too many TOTL CIEMs out that match or better JHA's offerings now which wasn't the case a few years ago. I'll never purchase anything from them again. I've never had a retail experience quite like this.
The funny thing is, someone who had 6 repair attempts over a year and never got a working product after ordering a JH16 (literally wasted $1,500+ down the drain) warned me before I placed my Roxanne order. I figured it was a one-off and wouldn't happen to me. I figured wrong.
