Hello Fellow Hawksters,

My original intent was not to “bash” Bear Mountain Tomahawks, but it extremely difficult to stay positive with such poor customer service. Back in April/May 2009 I ordered a Minute Man Tomahawk which was paid for via credit card. The payment came off the card immediately, but no tomahawk was delivered, or for that matter any contact made for over 6 months. I attempted to e-mail and phone the company with the information provided on the site, but the phone was not in service and the e-mail function would not accept any incoming mail. In November I managed to get through with an e-mail and contacted Suzanne Settle who responded apologizing for the delay blaming it on various problems that took place over the past 6 months . She then stated that they would immediately courier my tomahawk the next day if still interested or refund via cheque for the purchase price. Due to my frustrations with the company I opted for the refund. Three months later...several e-mail sent....several telephone calls made (no answer, just keeps ringing)...no refund.

I’ve read a lot of positive reviews in the past about these tomahawks, and they certainly appear to be excellent tools.....but what’s up with this poor, poor customer service? Doesn’t Suzanne realize that just because you ask for one refund it doesn’t mean that you will never order from the company again? Had the tomahawk or refund arrived in a timely fashion, I would have surely given the company a second chance. Now I can’t say anything positive about it.

9 months and waiting......I think I’ve been ripped off.... $128.93 dollars.
 
Yep, that's too long and too unresponsive. I'd file for a refund through my CC company.
 
That's nasty. I'm sure glad I did my business with Steve from Coal creek. I ordered six hawks and paid upfront, the hawks were made and in the mail in one week.
Sorry to hear about your problems, with this economy I imagine we will hear more of this type of thing.

Regards

This thread belongs in the GBU forum.

maybe in addition to here.

hawk and axe news needs to be here IMHO, otherwise folks here may be left in the dark.


sorry for your troubles, brother.

i hear they make a fine product and we will pray that they get straightened out for you.

I'll heartily second what "Pipeman" said. Steve from Coal Creek Forge is awesome. I ordered a spike tomahawk from him and had it in hand in a week. It is an incredible piece of work and his communication is excellent.

i'm sure this thread will get moved to the GB&U but it will leave the link so hawk people will have a heads up anyways.

i did go ahead and send a pm to Suzanne about this thread so she has a chance to chime in. Says she hasn't logged in since 6-09 so it probably doesn't matter anyway.

i hope you get your money back bro
