x pole – no replies? Getting really frustrated

Ooops, forgot to do the body text. I have had loads of problems with X pole UK.
They asked for my postal address in an email to 'move forward with the matter' but then haven't got back to me when I asked how they were moving forward. I've emailled several times since but nothing!
This is the THIRD time they've just stopped replying and I understand they are busy but I don't expect to wait over a week for a brief email reply.
I'm just so disappointed with them. I don't know what to do. Please help. =(

I had a problem with my pole when I first got it and they took about 6 weeks to reply to my e-mail. I think they are just really slow, they did sort it in the end. But it is frustrating when everyone raves about the fantastic service from x pole in the US.
-
Perhaps I should be more patient, however, I waited already 4 months with no reply, so I don't have high hopes for hearing back any time soon. I don't want to be rude to x-pole as a company they offer a quality product and I'm sure they have an awful lot of work on.
I just don't have time to be faffing with broom handles every time I need to move my Xpert and because I'm moving house I don't want them to ship the pieces here after I have moved 5 hours drive away!

X Pole UK are freakin' AWFUL for getting back to people. I'd be very reluctant to buy from them again given their customer care. I emailed them about 8 months back and am still awaiting a reply… don't hold your breath!

I'm actually considering buying an 'elite pole pro' instead I've seen good reviews on another forum and their customer service is apparently top class. The only problem is, as of yet, there are fewer options, they only come in chrome, 47mm and extensions are not available on the website, you have to contact directly to get them.
Certainely, at the moment I can't say I would reccomend, based on my customer care experience with x pole so far.

Can you call them? I think that XPole UK is on this forum, also, or you may want to try to email the US office and tell them of your issues.

from your one post it sounds like your xjoints are getting jammed arent they? I had both joints on mine jammed. It wasnt bad for actual poling but taking down was a PITA. Xpole reccomends that you equally tighten the joints and check everytime to see if the joints are in line.
-
Thanks chem and lulu,
Yeah they are but the problem is not that they are getting jammed – it's that there is damage to the joint and inside of the tube meaning that no matter how tight and evently tightened they are they will twist round when in use.
I'm not so bothered about spending a little money on replacing the parts so make my life easier, I would just like it to be sorted out. It may turn out that it is cheaper and easier just to buy a new pole.

If you just want to replace the parts that don't work and would spend the money on them maybe you could just contact another x-pole seller in the UK?
I can think of: http://www.verticalfitness.co.uk/index.htm
That's where I bought my pole.

I also had a huge problem with x-pole. I needed a part for my pole so I emailed and phoned them about 10 time over the period of three months and never heard anything back. (that was about 6 months ago). So finally I gave up and bought a brass platinum stage multi piece https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif they have been awesome to deal with and my new pole should be here soon. so really my advice would be find another x-pole seller or go with platinum stages https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

that is a shame you guys have had problems with x-pole as they're customer care was spot on when I had issues with the DVD that comes with the x-pole https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
Have you tried ringing them directly? It's no use waiting for a company to reply if they havent got back to you within 2 weeks because if they haven't replied by then… chances are they wont at all, as the email will be lost amongst old emails, replaced by new ones and never read again.
I would contact them until you get an answer, even if you have to email every other day! Seriously it does work, you should also tell them that you're having issues with getting a reply. I had the same problem with a totally unrelated company, faulty product, no reply to emails, could never get through on the phone so I sent them the emails again and again until they have to top ignoring me. I mentioned that their customer care had been appalling, told them how many times I tried to contact them and that I would appreciate a reply… they got back to me (surprise surprise!) sometimes it just takes a few words so they know you mean business https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Ok so after kicking up a constant stink I have got a reply – I asked if I was about to purchase/replace a b pole a 200mm x joint, a 250mm extension. Unfortunately they are now sending:
1x A pole
2x B poles
2x 200mm xjoint
What am I going to do with those? 0_0
Think I will just buy the other replacements as the B pole was the only bit I needed that I can't buy on the website.
Madness.
