After researching boat covers for my 2011 Sea Hunt BX22 Pro, I chose to purchase a Carver Custom Cover from Iboats.com. I was confident that it would fit based on Carver's reputation and looking at their fitment guide referring to trolling motors. I was also reassured when I saw on the page I was ordering from a comment that states "Easy Returns" When I received the cover, there was no accommodation for my trolling motor and it doesn't fit.
I spoke to an individual in customer service that was very pleasant, but stated that these covers were non returnable. After hearing that policy a few times, I requested to speak with a supervisor, who quoted the policy again and again. I requested to speak to the next level of management and was told there was no one. Out of frustration, I asked who the president of iboats was and was told it was Gordon, but that he doesn't take calls??
I did my own research and found that Gordon Peterson is the CEO or possibly the CFO. I left him a message yesterday and also sent him an email. I'm hoping to hear from him.
At minimum, iboats website is very unclear about returns and appears to be advertising that these covers are returnable with bold letters right in the ordering field. Their fitment description also needs updating regarding trolling motors. There are a large number of Sea Hunt BX22's in my area and every one has a trolling motor. I cannot imagine why ordering a custom cover without even an option for accommodating a trolling motor.
I feel that this is an iboats caused issue and I should be allowed to return the unused cover in original packaging with no restocking fees. I hope that Mr. Peterson cares enough about the reputation of this company to reply. Thanks in advance.
Please note Easy Returns on the ordering site. https://www.iboats.com/shop/carver-custom-fit-custom-boat-cover-8472.html
