Ronco ripoff Knives they sell are no good Internet
I purchaced a knife set that Ronco sells.. The knives are advertised to have a life time warranty, and if they EVER get dull, they will replace it at no charge to me... I used the sportsmans knife 2 times, and it is very dull... I have only had the knives for 2 weeks... I asked for another one to replace it, and they want me to pay to ship the knife back to them, and pay the shipping for another one to be sent to me... If it was a warranty, and they back their product they would send me another knife, and a prepaid package to send the old one back...
Anyways, i dont think i will need another one, because they are very cheap, and wont hold an edge anyway... VERY low quality !!! Hopefully i can save someone the trouble of getting ripped off... If you need good knives, dont buy from Ronco...

YOUR BUDDY DON FOLLOWING UP ON RONCO

Hello everybody: This is your man in the street following up on my report listed above. It is terrific that Cary Hubert got his knife replaced by Ronco....ALBEIT, 3 MONTHS LATER. Don't do business with this company unless you are willing to endure some abuse.
Here's the latest HOT TIP on this unscrupulous and rude company. Just got a letter back from Mr. Bill Locklear our man on the job at the Attorney Generals office, PO Box 944255, Sacramento, CA
94244-2550. Per the Dept. of Justice, they want any and all complaints sent to them on this J.O.
"Mr.Hair in a Can" Ron Pompeil from Ronco.
Mr. Locklears office also suggested that the State (Tax) Board of Equalization be notified; at
23141 Moulton Pkwy, Suite #100, Laguna Hills, Ca
92653.
I was charged 9.7% tax on my order (before I cancelled it on my credit card...and is Ronco "ticked off"...) Our tax rate is 7.75%
so I'm asking the tax board if they are getting the extra tax money that Mr. Popeil is charging.
If you've been charged 9.7% tax on your order, you should notify the California State Board of Equalization and let them coordinate it with your state. We need all the tax money we can get in our state....just like every other state.
I'll look forward to hearing some "new" stories.
Signing off,
Your man on the street

Go to Flatwoods Hey neighbor. Ronco is the company that Ron Popeil started.

Hey neighbor. Ronco is the company that Ron Popeil started. You know, "hair in a can" and all the other whacky crap he hawks on TV. The only thing I've ever seen that actually works is that chicken rotisserie. My sister bought one. It does cook pretty nicely. But so does my oven. Go to Flatwoods Outfitters out there on Riggs Rd. The guy there has different lines, some real cheap, some real nice. There used to be a decent knife/cuttlery store in Jacksonville Mall. I'm not sure if they are still there though. Good luck.
