Just issued a chargeback with SIMSONN - Beware
I just got into sim racing last year, and have been using a 20 year old logitech wheel + pedal combo up until now that I got on marketplace for $10, and I saved up some money to get a solid rig for the new year. I bought a new monitor, wheelstand, wheel, and wheelbase, and had it shipped to my college apartment.
I ordered SIMSONN's pedals near the beginning of the month, resulting in an order of slightly over $300 USD. Their listed shipping times are 5-12 days, so after this had passed, I emailed their support asking for an update. They said that the item was out of stock due to product updates, they were expecting to get more in the warehouse soon, and would ship by the end of the week. The end of the week passed with no update, so I asked again, expressing my dissatisfaction. They basically repeated the last email, and told me "by the end of the week" again. After this I told them to cancel the order if they cannot get it shipped by the end of the next week, totaling around 3 weeks of delay without an accurate timeline. That deadline just passed yesterday, with no shipping notice or cancellation notice. Since I can't trust them to ship my order on time, give me an accurate order timeline, or cancel my order from their end if they can't fulfill it, I figured I can't trust them to process a refund in a timely manner either, so I went for the chargeback.
It's been very frustrating talking to their support while all the other parts of my new rig sit in my room waiting to be built for around a month. I feel I shouldn't have been able to order a product that was out of stock through their website, or should have at least received advanced notice of this huge delay. Instead they hung me out to dry.
I understand it seems like many people love the pedals (which is why I bought them in the first place!), but from my experience, I would advise not trusting this company with your money.
