E Customer Service Review

On this site, and others, I love to write reviews about some magic products. Today I will be mixing it up a bit. Today I will not be reviewing a product or deck of cards, instead I will be reviewing the customer service I was provided with here at E. so let me first divulge into the story.

THE STORY

For Christmas I received the Electric Touch, one of the more expensive items here. I opened the package and flipped. I loved it so much! I couldn’t wait to try it out. So I went home and watched the DVD and read the instructions. I understood what needed to be done and everything, so I took it to the “Special Place”. I won’t go iunto that further due to exposure. But those who own the effect know what it is.)

I waited one week and picked up the “Things” from the “Special Place”. It was great! Everything felt so natural and so right. So I put it all on and decided that I would give it a try. So, off I went. Trying to shock my mom and dad for a mentalism effect. It didn’t work…I tried it on many different surfaces and still it didn’t work, yes the batteries were fine. (People who own the thing will know what I’m referring to about different surfaces.) So I didn’t let that get to me I decided to try it at school the following day. I woke up, ate breakfast, geared it up and walked out the door. Not more than 10 steps out of the door there was a loud “CRACK!!!” And I looked to discover an important part of the machine totally broken. I mean broke clear in half.(Sorry for the unclarity here. Have to be careful about exposure.)

So There was no way that I was going to pay another 30 dollars to bring the “Thing” back to the “Special Place”. So I contacted E Support. At first they told me that it was non returnable but hen they made an exception…

THE SERVICE


So they issued me an RMA number and gave me a form to fill out. When it was done being filled out I shipped the Electric Touch back to Ellusionists Warehouse. There over a 10 day period it was processed and they exchanged the faulty ET for some new items.

Today, I was told that my item had been shipped and was on its way to my house. I am so happy. I am getting The Daniel Garcia Project (All 3), a Ghost Gaff, and Dream of Aces. 180$ worth of stuff in exchange for the ET. I couldn’t be more pleased with E right now.

Throughout the entire ordeal the customer service associate, Luciana, was the one who helped me out. She was very nice and always patient with me. If you are reading this Luciana, THANK YOU!!!


TO SUM IT UP

In The end I could not be any happier with E than I am right now. They have shown me how flexible they are and how willing they are to work with you for the better. So thanks everyone down there at Support. I thank you for all that you have done!If I had to rate this experience, I would say it would be a

9.5/10.

Thank You,
Dylan P.

I too have had great experiences with E's customer service. I had ordered about $80 worth of stuff (I don't remember exactly what...it was a year or 2 ago) And the envelope came with nothing in it. The post office had marked it as 'received without contents' and I had no idea what to do. So I contacted E and they sorted the whole thing out for me even though it was clearly not their fault and the post office screwed up. They re-sent all my items via UPS (seemed more reliable than USPS) for no charge to me.

That being said, I have never had a bad experience with any magic site's customer service. It seems that most sites are small-ish operations and they are very dedicated to service so people keep on coming back. The world needs more places like T11 and E to care about their customers. I cannot begin to explain what a hassle it is working with places (I wont name names) where I get routed to some person I cannot understand or someone who has no idea what they are talking about, then end up getting transferred to 10 different people to answer a simple question.

Props to the magic industry in general for caring about customer service.
 
Only time I had an issue was when I ordered the "Bullet" DVD. I ordered I believe it was the middle option for speed, so not normal but also not the fastest. I waited the days it approximated arrival and it didn't show-up. I waited an extra 3 days or so and when it didn't come I sent a support ticket.

Within 24 hours they had determined it was lost in the mail and sent it to me rush FedEx delivery and received it in less than 48 hours from when I sent the support ticket.

Places like Theory11 and E have incredibly customer service, which all online places should.

E has never let me down. Aside from the insane shipping prices, their customer service is top notch. i think i recall one of their representatives to reply in a mere 3 hours within inquiry. I think that's as fast as it gets.

Best customer service for me ranks like this

E 9.5/10 Quick and to the point and responds very quickly

Mjmmagic 9.5/10 Quicker and cheaper but respond a little slower

T11 9/10 Better than most companies but slower than my other interactions

Penguin 7.5/10 Dam people just can't get their stuff straight but luckily it was only two hours on the phone (sighs) and the lady was respectful.
