Etrailer - Never received product
Never received my product I ordered from this dishonest company. Would never recommend them. They said it would arrive Feb 4th and still haven't gotten it. Now they say they don't know when I will get it, and it will take over 14vdays to even process a refund . Ridiculous

ETRAILER DID NOT WARRANTY FAILED PARTS

ETRAILER DID NOT WARRANTY FAILED PARTS

ETRAILER DID NOT WARRANTY FAILED PARTS - Image 3

I have spent a lot of money with etrailer over the last few years. About six months ago we replaced the electric brake assy's and drums on a customers trailer.

The customer brought the trailer back for the brakes not working. We found the magnets dug deep grooves in the drums the likes we have never seen so the magnets were not making good contact. We replaced the drums and brake assy's at no charge to the customer. With the new parts, the brakes worked perfectly.

After going back and forth with etrailer they will not warranty the parts.

Whether they believe me that the parts failed or not I was shocked this is how they would treat a long time regular customer. We will be finding a new source for our trailer parts.

Terrible customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Chatted with two different reps for about 45 minutes to try to get an answer about a purchase I made concerning Rhino Rack compatibility. Was given self-conflicting information and when I tried to clarify, both reps disconnected me. Finally had to call Rhino Rack directly and was given a straight answer in 30 seconds.

Resolved: Incorrect part included in the hardware bag and Etrailer rudely refused to rectify the situation.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Jun 14, 2023

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with product replacement. Received apology and a replacement bracket has, according to Etrailer, been shipped. Problem appears to be resolved.

Original review Jun 12, 2023
Last winter, February 7th to be exact, I purchased from ETrailer a 12 foot Solera Family Room tent fabric product to create more usable protected space outside my camper. This Family Room add-on to my camper cost me near $1000.00 and I could not complete installation for my up-coming camping vacation because of a missing part.

The hardware packet contained TWO right side mounting brackets and no left side mounting bracket. Due to persistent inclement weather I waited to install it until the weather became less so. I waited for warmer weather with less wind so the fabric panels don't blow all over during the install. This past weekend the weather was calm enough and I attempted to attach the Family Room to the camper.

In doing so I found that the mounting hardware did NOT include a "left-side mounting bracket" to attach the left side wall of the family room to my camper. The hardware bag did however, contain TWO "RIGHT side mounting brackets". I contacted Etrailer and although the customer service rep seem pleasant and helpful enough at first, (Victoria her name is), abruptly cut off the chat saying "It'd been over 60 days and we won't help you." She sent me a copy of their policy but it says nothing about replacing missing hardware. I am NOT happy with their customer service nor do I appreciate being cut off that way.

All I needed was a replacement left side mounting bracket to complete the installation of the Family Room on my camper.

I want ETrailer to send me the missing left side bracket and I also expect an apology in writing from Victoria, (NOT FROM HER BOSS) for her unacceptable treatment of a customer who spent almost $1000.00 with her company.
Desired settlement:
Replacement left side upper mounting bracket for my camper. Apology, in writing, from Victoria in Customer Service.

Pros:
  • Shipping was reasonable
Cons:
  • Poor service

Preferred solution: Send me the missing part and I want a WRITTEN apology for the customer Service Rep VICTORIA herself. Not from her boss, but from Victoria herself.

User's recommendation: Avoid this company! You'll be sorry if you don't!

Failure to rectify an incorrect trailer hitch

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Etrailer - Failure to rectify an incorrect trailer hitch
This had to be a factory second or damaged hitch because it was impossible to screw 6 bolts through 6 the holes in the hitch and mount to a toyota vehicle.This should have been a VERY easy install that anyone could perform. After multiple phone calls and emails with LoriAB, no action whatsoever. hitch is a throw away loss. No refund, no exchange, no call tag.
View full review

User's recommendation: just go to a local place where the hitch can be installed and they do not get paid until the job is done right. Etrailer gets FIRST- paid no matter even if the parts they ship are incorrect or damaged.

Absolutely the WORST customer service Ive ever seen!! Waiting two weeks for a company to ship a small piece of plastic and then they email me and tell me that theres going to be a delay!! When you want it they sit on it! When you cancel it they send it!! I ordered from another company and it will be delivered in two days!!

Bad Business Policies

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
We ordered a product for a vehicle and were sent the wrong item. Asked for them to send an RA and to kindly furnish us with the correct product and they refused, saying it wouldn't be "cost-effective" for them to authorize a return and they denied sending us the correct product citing that "it was not confirmed" when, in fact, it was. Caveat emptor. DO NOT recommend doing business with this conglomerate.

Failure to reply to my message sent via pissed consumer.

E trailer do not have a publicly accessible E mail address, a rather curious fact. Am in the UK and trying to buy a trailer hitch for a Smart for 2, model since I cannot source one in the UK OR IN Europe. Etrailer do supply them and even have a U Tube clip of how to fit them. Perhaps its a trailer thing, also E mailed another company, an agent of Etrailer, who did not reply.

Etrailer - Will not stand behind warranty

I bought all new drums, backing plates with brakes, bearings and seals, leaf springs to tune up my boat trailer. 2nd trip out the bearings failed on 1 side of 1 of the axels.

Totally destroyed my axel. They say I installed them incorrectly. I said I did the other 3 wheels right, what's the chances I did that 1 wrong. Plus I have done brakes and bearings for years.

Never a problem. $900 later and Etrailer will not stand behind their 1 year warranty. The do it yourselfer is their business model of customers for this company.

Buyer beware you are on your own if something fails. Their warranty is useless and they don't stand behind their products.

Don't Stand Behind Their Products

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Purchased an AMP Lock from Etrailer last year. The lock failed after one year.

So considering the high price of the lock, a years use is not worth it. I bought two locks for my cargo trailer exactly a year ago. Last week I loaded up equipment into my trailer, locked the doors, went 30 minutes down the road, and along the way one of the locks fell off. It had to of failed because I locked up my equipment and the only way to remove the key is to put the bolt into the locked position, and as the AMP key is on my key ring with my truck and house keys, it's not as if I left the key in the lock.

After unhitching my trailer I drove back along the rout hoping to see my lock on the side of the road, but never did find it.

I told eTrailer about the issue, but never got a response. The other AMP lock is working fine, so the one that fell off might have been a lemon, but for that price, who wants to take a chance.
