Cuisinart CONAIR Cookware non-stick went bad, sent to co to repair/replace, co sent cookware back more damaged and did not follow their own email correspondence. Internet, New Jersey
Consumer's Original Complaint : Please see the email I sent cuisinart. I sent pots and pans back under warranty for review and fixing. They did not do what they promised, see below.Dear Cuisinart,We talked to a CSR and did not get good service. On October 6th I checked in with Cuisinart through this email (all history below) and asked how we would know if the pans would be fixed for free, or if they needed to be paid for fixing. On October 6th I got this "The technicians will send an invoice if necessary otherwise the pans will be sent to you. If you have any further questions please reply, with history, to this email. We invite you to call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-726-0190, if you prefer. The hours of operation are 7 AM -11 PM EST Monday through Friday and 9 AM - 5:30 PM on Saturdays and Sundays, excluding major holidays." The technicians DID NOT send an invoice. Your repair shop just sent the pans back with the petty excuse "we tried to call". My wife is home all day raising our little girl. There's no way she missed a phone call. I also emailed this address several times inquiring about what was going on. This service you have provided me is embarassing. If you are not going to be serious about having a manager call me and make this right, I'm going to report this to every agency I can. I don't want to report you to the better business bureau or other fraud agencies, please make this right. At this point, I think your company should offer to repair the pans for free. Here's why: I was told over the phone that the loss of non-stick was covered under warranty, that I would get an invoice if the pans were not deemed under warranty (but I was told it was), and the fact that I was lied to. That's bad business. I was proactive emailing about the status of the sitiuation, did not get any phone calls or mail invoices, etc. Product_Or_Service: pot/pan set
Consumer's Desired Resolution: DesiredSettlementID: ReplacementI was told that my situation would be covered under warranty. Even on the off chance it was not, I was told that a voucher would be sent to my house with a fix price. I did not even get that. I want a full replacement of my pots/pans set.
EMAIL TRAFFIC: has some duplicates sorry Ms. CUSTOMER LAST NAME,
We attempted to call today (3:17 Eastern time) and somehow was disconnected when someone answered the phone. The mailbox was full and we were unable to leave a message. Please call our toll-free Customer Service Center at, 800-726-0190 Monday - Friday 7:00 am - 11:00 pm EST and/or Saturday - Sunday 9:00 am to 5:30 pm, excluding Holidays. Sincerely, Michele Cuisinart Customer Service Representative ------------ Original Message ------------------- Dear Cuisinart team,
I would like a manager to call me. I am extremely mad that the pans arrived back at my house in the exact same condition! I was told two things over the phone.
1. That the loss of non-stick is a covered item
2. I would get a phone call or email asking if I wanted Cuisinart to FIX the pans should the techs decide it was not covered
I got neither! I am going to file a complaint with the better business bureau unless someone is able to make this right. I communicated with you folks this entire time, I can't believe I was lied to.

Pans are supposed to arrive on Wednesday with the below AR number. Please treat us fairly on this, we were so disappointed that our pans broke (no nonstick covering) so quickly! If the call on whether they are replacable or not comes into play and it#39;s borderline, please keep in mind I#39;m a 70% disabled veteran. I can provide paperwork to show that, I deserve atleast a fair shake.

Model Number : GW-10 Color : Black/Silver Serial Number : Description of Problem : We have had this cookware for 6 months and REALLY loved them when we got them. The last month or so they have really become disappointing and seem to have gone down hill. It seems like the non stick part has come off and the handles get very hot when cooking. Also, they scratch very very easily. We have taken care of them by hand washing only, and hanging them on a pot rack as opposed to stacked in a cabinet. We have followed every instruction carefully and they still have not held up well. We use a mild dish soap, but we do have hard water here. I don#039;t know if that would have anything to do with the non stick issue. PLEASE help us out and make this right. We were looking for long term cookware and are extremely disapointed. Thank you.

Dear Cuisinart,
We talked to a CSR and did not get good service. On October 6th I checked in with Cuisinart through this email (all history below) and asked how we would know if the pans would be fixed for free, or if they needed to be paid for fixing. On October 6th I got this "The technicians will send an invoice if necessary otherwise the pans will be sent to you. If you have any further questions please reply, with history, to this email. We invite you to call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-726-0190, if you prefer. The hours of operation are 7 AM -11 PM EST Monday through Friday and 9 AM - 5:30 PM on Saturdays and Sundays, excluding major holidays." The technicians DID NOT send an invoice. Your repair shop just sent the pans back with the petty excuse "we tried to call". My wife is home all day raising our little girl. There's no way she missed a phone call. I also emailed this address several times inquiring about what was going on. This service you have provided me is embarassing. If you are not going to be serious about having a manager call me and make this right, I'm going to report this to every agency I can. I don't want to report you to the better business bureau or other fraud agencies, please make this right. At this point, I think your company should offer to repair the pans for free. Here's why: I was told over the phone that the loss of non-stick was covered under warranty, that I would get an invoice if the pans were not deemed under warranty (but I was told it was), and the fact that I was lied to. That's bad business. I was proactive emailing about the status of the sitiuation, did not get any phone calls or mail invoices, etc.

If the call on whether they are replacable or not comes into play and it#39;s borderline, please keep in mind I#39;m a 70% disabled veteran. I can provide paperwork to show that, I deserve atleast a fair shake.

Sincerely, Toni Cuisinart Customer Service Representative ------------ Original Message ------------------- Hello,
Can you please verify for me that my case will be handled fairly? We did not see in cuisnart box that we should not use in CUSTOMER ADDRESS texas. There was no warning that the product would lose the non stick surface from hard water. I understand burn marks are not covered, I#39;m asking about loss of nonstick surface after limited use. Pans were never put in a dishwasher.

Model Number : GW-10 Color : Black/Silver Serial Number : Description of Problem : We have had this cookware for 6 months and REALLY loved them when we got them. The last month or so they have really become disappointing and seem to have gone down hill. It seems like the non stick part has come off and the handles get very hot when cooking. Also, they scratch very very easily. We have taken care of them by hand washing only, and hanging them on a pot rack as opposed to stacked in a cabinet. We have followed every instruction carefully and they still have not held up well. We use a mild dish soap, but we
do have hard water here. I don#039;t know if that would have anything to do with the non stick issue. PLEASE help us out and make this right. We were looking for long term cookware and are extremely disapointed. Thank you. Additional Information : This message was auto-generated and sent at 2011-06-03 16:28:35.

Dear Cuisinart,
Is it official policy to lie to your customers and then ignore emails when it is pointed out? Please provide an answer to my last email from 12 days ago.

Unprofessional response from Cuisinart
#2Author of original report
Mon, January 09, 2012
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Whoever is replying is not reading everything. There are 3 reasons why cuisinart must replace my cookware set. 1) I have in writing a CSR saying I would get an invoice for repair if it was not covered 2) I was told over the phone that loss of non-stick this early is covered 3) CUISINART DAMAGED MY COOKWARE SENDING IT BACK. I sent my cookware to cuisinart for evaluation with bubblewrap and towels. It came back to me in peanuts! What kind of customer service is that? The peanuts settled and my pans we scratched beyond repair. Be professional.

We do not accept cuisinart's response. We were told that hard water IS covered under the warranty, and that losing the non-stick coating from hard water is a defect! We did not abuse these pans, we did not stack them, we hung them, we did not dishwasher them, we hand washed with a mild soap with a soft sponge. Please accept responsibility here. Also, we have in WRITING one of your customer service reps saying they will send us a voucher to repair if it was found that it was not coverd. So you have failed to meet your terms of service on two counts. One a CSR told us a repair voucher would be sent, two that hard water is covered, and non-stick loss at one year is abnormal. Be professional.

We appologize for any misunderstanding between theconsumer & our reps but we do not, nor have we ever, repaired cookware. Also, we do not refund at the retail level. We cannot be expected to refund monies we never received. The problem encountered with this cookware does not constitute a manufacturer defect and therefore was returned to the consumer. This information was stated on the packing slip. We only replace if the problem is a manufacture defect. Strictly as a one-time courtesy we will refund her $7.00 S&H fee.

On December 26th 2011, I talked to floor manager Deandra. She was very helpful and promised to forward my complaint to another level of management. A day or two later another manager called but was extremely rude, would not let me talk or describe my issue. The lady kept talking over me and not allowing me to have a cordial discussion on the issue. I hope someone in corp. will see this and call us to resolve this in a polite manner.
