Ripoff, defective product, does not honor grantee, horrible customer service

My Leatherup.com Nightmare!

This has turned into a buyer beware!!!

So I bought a set of saddlebags from leatherup.com and a set of easy brackets from another place. I got the saddlebags without a problem and had to wait 2 weeks for the easy brackets so I could mount the saddlebags.

So I get the easy brackets and I mount the saddlebags I have to start with the right side first because that is what the instructions tell me to do. So I put it on after drilling the holes to mount the saddlebag. Now keep in mind I have had these bags for about a week waiting on the hardware to mount them. And I have taken them and set them in place to see what kind of clearance they would have and to get an idea how the new bags would look.

So I get the hardware installed and I mount the saddlebag. It looks ok but it kind of leans to the outside a little. No big deal.

So I do the same for the left side I mount it on the bike and uh! There is something seriously wrong here

([PHOTO 2 to be posted soon])

This bike is NOT leaning to the left!!! And there is nothing in the saddlebag.

Well Im not very happy since I spent a lot of time making sure that they are even so I call Leatherup.com and tell them that there is a problem with the bags and I would like a replacement or refund. They promptly tell me that since I drilled holes in the bags that they will not take them back because they cant re-sell them.

I tried to explain to them that I had no idea there was something wrong with the bags until they were mounted. The said I should have held them up to the bike to make sure they would work, I tried to explain to them that I in fact did hold them up to the bike but when I mounted them that there was a serious problem with the one bag.

Well talking to them is pretty much useless The response I get from them is we will not take the bags back because there are holes in them

WELL HELLO! You have to put holes in the damn things to mount them on the BIKE!

What about (quoted from their site!)

Hassle-Free Return Policy - No prior authorization is needed.

Satisfaction Guaranteed or your money LeatherUp.com we stand behind our products 100%. So, if you are not pleased with your purchase for any reason, simply ship it back to us according to the directions below for a full refund of your purchase price (this does not include your original shipping).

Sorry you put holes in them

But dont you understand there is something wrong with the bags?

We will not accept the return since you put holes in the bags

HELLO! You have to put holes in the bags to MOUNT THEM!

There was nothing wrong UNTIL I mounted the bags! The one bag is defective I would like my money back now.

We will not accept the return since you put holes in the bags

Well at this point I am about at the end of my rope and about to give this lady on the other end of the phone a serious piece of my mind. I did warn them that I would do exactly what I am doing now and that is telling everyone that will read this not to do business with leatherup.com.

They do not stand behind what they sell and this page <a href="http://www.leatherup.com/showpages.%20Asp?%20Pid=1004" target="_blank" rel="noopener external">http://www.leatherup.com/showpages.Asp? Pid=1004</a>

Is filled with untruths as far as I am concerned. I am within the 30 days and they are not standing behind their product 100% like the site says.

They tell me I cant return the bags because they cant re-sell them, why would they re-sell something defective?

Here is their info

You can note my order number 1155591217 when emailing them.

BTW. I did email them with no response and that is why I called them.

I hope everyone that reads this refuses to do business with Leatherup.com and send them an email telling them you saw this and sent it to all of your friends.

Update! 9/22/06

So, I just got off the phone with Leatherup.com AGAIN!

Michelle told me that the bags are made by them so I am out of luck since they will not take the return. They do not care who I tell about how they have treated me because they have thousands of customers and my business will not hurt them... I even sent her a picture if the bag and she said that she would be proud to ride a bike that had bags that looked like that.

So please send my link to everyone you know and have them do the same...

Email Michelle @ [email][email protected][/email]

Im not mad that I got some junk bags Im pissed because of the guarantees they have on the site and then will not even help when they are the ones that manufacture the bags that they sell.

When they say Satisfaction Guaranteed or your money back you would think they would take back the bag and at least replace the bad one but they refuse to accept the return at all.

Here is the policy
