Regular  673    SF Bay area |  Subject: Props to XLAB for great customer serviceAll too often we hear about bad experiences when dealing with companies that supply our tri habit. I wanted to take a minute to give some positive feedback in case anyone is waffling between an XLAB product and one from company B. I got their System 100 Torpedo aerobar mounted hydration system a few months back and unfortunately managed to put a hole in the bottom of the bottle. I contacted them asking what I needed to do to get a replacement and within a few hours got an email back asking for more info and a photo so that they could see the damage better. Once they got that, again within a couple of hours, I got a second email asking that I send the bottle back to them so that they can examine it more closely to determine how it got damaged (I'm assuming so that they can engineer out any issues) and that they would be putting a replacement bottle in the mail to me that day. This is the kind of customer service that will keep me coming back to a company, and I know that there are many others out there who could learn from this. Just curious, what other companies have you encountered for Tri related goods that have behaved similarly? It would be good to know for future purchasing decisions.

Two of the four straps holding it in place had been worn through and I called them to see if I could order more. I told them the edges of the holes were rough and chewed through the straps. They responded to me quickly asked me to take a picture and send it to them. They said that was one of the earlier ones they made and that they round out the holes now to stop that from happening and said they'd mail me a new one at no charge. I told them it came with the bike and I couldn't find straps for it and even though I didn't buy it they still replaced it for me. I agree with TTom, excellent customer service from my experience as well. |

| Chatham Ontario | Subject: RE: Props to XLAB for great customer service This is awesome to read seeing I managed to get rid of my profile design stuff and I just ordered Xlab with my new bike. I can't say the same for NATHAN products. I bought a hydration belt from them that totally stretched after 3 runs to the point I can't wear it already. They refused to do anything and suggested another one of their products as a solution to me. FACEPALM. I will never buy another one of their products. |

Member 388 Miami | Subject: RE: Props to XLAB for great customer service Xterra wetsuits, FLO wheels, and Garmin for me. Not that happy with other brands, but these ones so far go beyond what I expected in customer service (not only replacing products, but also prompt to respond and always trying to help). By the way, good to know about Xlab, the bite valve of the torpedo system I bought a couple of months ago, broke for no apparent reason. I can't get liquid out of the bottle. |

Veteran 976 New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Props to XLAB for great customer service TrainerRoad - After an update I was getting ready to ride and none of the workouts would show up. Emailed their help department, within minutes I got an email back (with a direct phone number in the signature) with some suggestions. After a few emails and maybe 15 minutes total I was up and running and I didn't even miss my scheduled ride. I've also sent them a few ideas/suggestions and they always respond. |
