This is in response to the GPS crazy E Mail of Jan 15. I was in error when I reported that I had returned Mapsource Topo to this company on Dec 12, it was actually Dec 8. This is the actual timeline: Nov 25... item ordered Nov 27... item received via Airborne Dec 2... Wife phones CS number... a recording Dec 3... I request RAN Dec 6... I re-request RAN Dec 6, PM, I receive RAN with this E MAil --------------------------------------------------- Yes, please send it back to: GPS Crazy, Inc. RMA BP120501 468 Telluride Drive Gilberts, IL 60136 We will immediately issue credit upon receipt. Thank you, William GPS Crazy, Inc. #112 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dec 8 ... Item returned via USPS Dec 27... I ask when I will receive the refund, and receive this reply... _____________________________________________________________ Gene, We are processing RMA's today and yours should be processed today or early tommorrow. Thank you, William _____________________________________________________________ The fuzzy math employed to justify this particular failure is amazing. Nov 27 to Dec 3=Two weeks Dec 8 to Dec 27=two months On my calendar it hasn't been two months since it was ordered! much less, since I returned the item. The claim that there was no attempt to communicate with this company is false. Dates E Mail have been sent by me... Dec 3,6,27 Jan 2,4,5. The final three have yet to be responded to by GPS Crazy. Phone calls are a waste of time because the recorded message directs one to the website. I am anticipating the redelivery of my software (MapSource Topo) as has been claimed to have been sent in the GPS Crazy E MAil to this Forum. I am so sure it hasn't been sent, that I pledge the proceeds from my future sale of this software to the Disabled American Veterans. Finally, I could have offered no argument or complaint that could have illustrated the lack of entegrity envolved here better than their factually challenged E Mail has proven. I suggest that a portion of the time spent debating the posters on this forum be redirected into productive Customer Service resolutions. Now, I think I will go find a cache.

My wife ordered a Magellan Explorist XL and Mapsend Topo from this company in November. They offered a special shipping deal fron Airborne and the unit was delivered "overnite". Kudos for GPS Crazy. Unfortunately, they sent Garmin Mapsource instead of Magellan Mapsend software. I sent "William" three E Mails and placed three telephone calls before I was sent a RAN so I could send it back for credit. It was returned via USPS on Dec 12. Since then I have been assured that the funds would be refunded on Dec 27, or soon after. I admit that one or more E Mails I have sent have been snide, but I really don't understand why the order of TWO items was bungled to begin with, or why this guy can't answer inquiries timely, or just keep his word and refund the money. Looking back... I should have offered the Garmin software for sale on E Bay rather than trusting this guy. Right now I am out $89.95 and see no possibility that I"ll ever receive my money. Adding $90 to the advertised price makes this one of the most EXPENSIVE offers on the internet. Bottom line... I have no dispute with those who have had a more positive experience , but I DO NOT RECOMMEND this company... there appears to be good reason they have been removed from Bizrate and Pricegrabber. You are much better off paying a few dollars more and deal with an honest ( competent) company.
