Has anyone had a similar experience;

6/23/2015 I placed an order over the phone, estimated arrival 7/23/2015

7/21/2015 Received an email notice that I would be getting shipping info by the next day.

7/21/2015 Received an email from GM Alex that shipping has been delayed and new date is between 8/10-8/14 and I would get $154 credit for the inconvenience.

8/24/2015 Called in to check status, supposedly on its way shipping info to follow.

8/25/2015 Received email from GM apologizing for not getting back right away and notifying me that the new ship date will be 9/28/2015

8/28/2015 Called and canceled the order, was told accounting would refund my payment ASAP

9/1/2015 Emailed and requested a cancellation confirmation and refund, they said by the end of the day

9/4/2015 Called with the same above request, promised immediate action

9/9/2015 Called again and finally received an email confirming my request and was told i should receive an email from accounting

9/10/2015 Called my credit card and filed a disputed charge for non fulfillment

It would appear that this company uses every trick in the book to keep your money as long as they can and not ship anything.

STAY AWAY FROM LIBERTY BACKHOES!

My advice is to buy local when you can!

wow....
they could not complete an order in almost 70 days?

Dont blame you one bit - and the fact that you made contact every step of the way was impressive!!:)

Sad that we (americans) cannot seem to get the big picture sometimes that
INPUT = OUTPUT......

if money is what you really seek - then really make the customer really happy......

now - it would have be nice of THAT if they CALLED you and said
"dear sir - we are behind in processing the equipment" we would like to offer you a 10% discount if you will stay with your order....."

sorry to hear about your frustrations.:(

Sucks to hear about your issue. Sounds like maybe a new company with growing pains or something else. Its obvious from their website that they're "trying" to generate good customers and sell their products. A 1888 number, online chat, and the website seems to be set up nicely.

Actually I just looked closer at the pictures of the models and you can see the burning garbage in the background, landscape looks like China and the operator on the machine is Chinese.

This company appears to be reselling Chinese products and is likely having issues getting the product in stock.

You will pay more going to Woods or Kubota direct...but you will have a product you can get parts for and will be supported by the dealer....JMO.

Thanks for the responses, I wanted to get my story out and hopefully save anyone else the hassle of doing business with these guys.
