The blade on the Vicking Deer Splitter broke while splitting the collar bone on a whitetail. I emailed the company and got no reply. I called several times, and was on hold for over 45 minutes before being disconnected. When I finally got in touch with someone, I was told they were out of stock on Blades, and to call back in two months.
I was very disappointed in the company's handling of this issue, but was very determined to see if they would even stand behind their product. At this point, I would of given the company a negative star rating if possible.
I called back after a couple months, and was told that they would send me a replacement splitter. I gave them all my info, and waited patiently for it to arrive.
After two weeks, the replacement splitter failed to arrive, so I called the company again. I was told the warranty was processed wrong, and they were waiting on my credit card number to send out a new one. After I explained my situation again, I was told that the warranty info was corrected, and a replacement would be mailed out.
A couple more weeks, and no deer splitter, I called back again. This time I spoke with Chase. I explained my situation again, and he told me he needed to look into it, and he would call me back. I really had my doubts, but I thought I would humor him to see if I would be blown off again.
To my surprise, Chase called back the following day and told me everything was taken care of, and a replacement would be mailed out. I told him I would believe it when I received it in the mail. A couple days later, Chase called me back again and gave me a tracking number for the warrantied Deer splitter that was mailed out. He even called back a week later to follow up to insure I received the product.
Chase did apologize several time for my disappointment in the company, and told me he wanted to make it right. I only give the company a 5 start rating because Chase was true to his word, followed up with several phone calls to ensure the problem was handled, and to ensure I did receive the replacement in the mail.
