Wow! Let me share an experience with the Jack Wills store and you see what you think.
Being tired of cheap gas grills and their parts rusting out I went in 14 years ago and said I want to buy a gas grill that would last.
They said "buy a Ducane brand grill - they are American made and have a lifetime warranty"! What they did not say but knew themselves then was that Ducane was in Bankruptcy! They did not tell me that and apparently knew that they were unloading an uncompetitive brand that the Chinese had killed and there was no chance they would survive - and they knew it when they sold it to me, the dumb unsuspecting consumer! Remember, this was back in the days of no smartphones and only in-home dial-up Internet!
Fast forward to 3 days ago when I took the rusted and destroyed "life-time warenteed parts" in and was told that Jack Wills could not help me and that Ducane was not in existence! They said just call Webber Grills who they said bought the Ducane Company and work with them on the warranty on the parts and they gave me the phone #.
After 3 days, 8 phone calls, voicemails back and forth and hours of wasted time, I found that yes, Webber had bought Ducane but only the name (post bankruptcy) and no liabilities (verified on-line by Google by documentation I found on the web after I hung up).
Bottom line is I was mislead by the salespeople at Jack Wills on the purchase 14 years ago and "known suspect warranty and continued company existence" the first time and mislead by them again this week because they already knew what I found out after hours of wasted time on hold on the phone! I am furious! I hope Jack Wills sees that customers are being treated like this! They sent me out to call Weber as they did not want me complaining and causing a problem in front of their other customers!
I will tell anyone and everyone I know in the world to NOT buy anything from these people! I am pissed! I want an apology from them and them to compensate me for the bankrupt company grill they foisted off on me! DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING THESE PEOPLE TELL YOU AND EVEN IF YOU SEE ANY WARRANTY IN WRITING - DO NOT BELIEVE IT!
