Incorrect Parts Sent 7 Times and Counting

I sold my home and moved my SimpliSafe System to my new home. When I removed the Sensors and Magnets, the Adhesive Tapes were destroyed.

I ordered new Sensor Adhesive Tapes and Sensor Magnet Adhesive Tapes, I received all Sensor Adhesive Tapes, non for Magnets. I called SimpliSafe and explained what happened. I requested that the correct parts be sent to me overnight at SimpliSafe's expense. I asked to speak with a supervisor to verify that the correct parts will be sent, the agent took my name and phone number to have a supervisor call me. I never received that call.

I get the shipment and AGAIN I received Sensor Adhesive Tapes but no Sensor Magnet Adhesive Tapes. I placed another call to SimpliSafe and I asked to speak to a supervisor but was told they are not available to customers, only agents. When I was insistent that I wanted to speak to a supervisor I was placed on hold for about forty-five minutes and then told no and eventually the agent hung up on me. Who does business like this? I call back and get a different agent who told me that this issue has been happening to other people and I could just cut down the Sensor Adhesive Tapes to work with the Sensor Magnets. This is not something I feel I should have to do and because the Sensor Adhesive Tapes are thinner and not as sticky as the Sensor Magnet Adhesive Tapes, I'm not able to use the included mounting screws. The agent said since I do not want to modify the tapes I received, another order for the correct parts would be placed with overnight shipping to be covered by SimpliSafe. The agent said she would enter a specific note on the order saying that I received the incorrect tapes again and to be sure I now get the correct ones. She felt confident that I would now get the correct parts.

Today I get the third attempt and, you guessed it, wrong parts. AGAIN. I call SimpliSafe and explain what has been happening. I'm placed on hold for around fifteen to twenty minutes while the agent speaks with a supervisor, for whatever reason Customers are not allowed to speak to a supervisor. I'm told to solve this the supervisor suggested that a new order be placed to send both types of Adhesive Tapes. I explained that when I placed the initial order, it was for both tapes and the order was messed up. She then said she will also include the same note as the other agent used. I remind her that that did not work the last time. She said I could either do it this way or modify the tapes I was sent.

Received the forth and fifth attempts and of course both are wrong AGAIN. This company is a joke. How flipping difficult is it to fill a simple order for Sensor and Sensor Magnet Adhesive Tapes??? Too bad the CEO does not review these forums to see how his/her employees are handling issues the customers post.

Miserable customer service.   I have been promised 2 day delivery of a chime connector kit three times and each time, Simplisafe has failed to deliver. Lots of excuses, lots of apologetic form emails and phone reps, zero action. I have not had a working door bell since I got the kit. Will be giving them one more chance and then I'm boxing up the system and sending it back for a refund before the 60 day trial period.  Simplisafe is simply not ready for prime time. Very disappointed to see so many of their customers experiencing similar miserable customer support.

I suggest you send it all back now. Be sure you tell them the reason for return is poor support. Maybe if enough people would actually return the system they'd get the message.

Sending the system back might be satisfying, and even make a statement.  Be aware that if its been more than 60 days since purchase, your odds of getting a refund are slim.

I'm willing to bet a ton of folks have sent back the system in frustration over one thing or another.  It won't matter how many people send them back (another purchase will take it's place), it has been clear for a few years now, that SS just does not care.  About a lot of things.  I'm sure there are employees who care and most likely wish for improvement as well, but as we all know, it's upper management who needs to get on the ball.  And the "new" CEO.  And more than likely, a ton of others.
