Animal bikes warranty issues

try and get in touch with an animal distro in your country thats what i did with my old freemix

^^^ this. my distro (canadian) is 1664, and any 1664 dealer will be able to help. bring all the packaging and all the paperwork you have. if you cant find the packing slip, make sure to print off a copy of your receipt. it is standard practice at any distribution, shop, or company not to do any kind of warrantee or refund without one or both pieces of paper.

also keep in mind these companies deal with thousands of orders, most of which are sales that provide profit. they have no reason to rush warrantees until they've made their sales quotas. so be patient.

"Welds."

Call during business hours, and ask for the warranty department. Or just give it a little time. When did you send the last email to them?

If you are in Canada I would get in touch with the shop or the distro company you got it through but contacting animal directly might not hurt I've heard Ralph sinisi is diehard as fuck for better quality for riders in bmx

Call them between 8 and 5 tomorrow during the day, ask for the warranty department. If they have a voice mail, leave one (WORDED NICELY WITHOUT NAME CALLING) stating "Hi, my name is (your name) and I have been emailing back and forth with Warranty about some rims I bought from Dans Comp. The welds look "Shotty" according to the person from Warranty I have been conversing with, and I haven't received a response since the 26th of January. Please call me back at (your phone number) as soon as you can so we can rectify the issue. Thanks!"

That should help out.

Lol, i'm not one of those people who call and ask for something then call them a crap company or anything, thanks for the advice,its much appreciated.

I actually haven't gotten a response since the 15th, which is why i am kinda upset about it since its been 2 weeks since i got a response from them and i've made somewhat of an effort trying to contact them since and got nothing back.

That is some shit dude. I have never seen such bad welds on a rim... Makes me sick.

Wow that's sad

I think they could have glued it and it'd have looked better XD

Contacting Animal directly is what I did when I cracked my Sway bars, I forget who I got on the phone with but they were super chill and sorted my issue out within minutes on the phone.

Then again I also work at a shop so that could be something to do with it.





OP, just call them up. They have a number on there site somewhere, call them during reasonable hours and explain that you emailed them and never got a reply so you figured you'd give em a call in case they didn't get it for some reason. They could be out of office at the moment or just behind on things, stuff happens. Calling them will ensure you speak to someone and get it sorted out faster too.
