i was looking  to buy  a pitmasterIQ or a BBQ Guru.

after i spoke to nepas i decided to buy the pitmaster after few e mails with Matt kennington he promised that when i will be Ready he will ship it to me in south Africa .

now i wanted to place a order but this time a gentleman by the name off Barb Kennington reply to my e mail with( i am very sorry we do not ship to south Africa  )

on my replay that  i was promised by Matt to ship it to  me his reply was ( i am very sorry we do not ship to south Africa ) .

he did not have stock of the IQ when i was in the USA so he made a promise to ship it to me and now ? that is bad marketing and a bad attitude .if that how they do business how will be the after sale service ?

OK than i bought the BBQ Guru. thy will ship it to me to South Africa no problem  man i am waiting for it.

Sorry to hear that about the iQ. Seems customer satisfaction dont mean much anymore cuz its just about the $. The guru will serve you well.

You going to make the Gathering?
 
Ahron, good morning....   Hope all is well at your home....  Too bad about the IQ....  and the company attitude...   Dave
 
Things will work out for the better. The Pitmaster people really did you a favor. While the BBQ Guru is more expensive, it has better reviews and a very devoted following. I always think that it always a good idea to buy the best quality product you can afford. This actually saves money in the long run.

Just curious but did he ever say "WHY" they would not ship it to you?  Especially after they indicated earlier the would in your specific case. They get their money up front and UPS/FedEx/DHL ship to any address anywhere in the world with trackable verification of delivery. So if you are paying the shipping costs anyway this does seem odd. Or is it they just don't do international shipping or shipping outside North America?

Ahron, You are probably better off NOT doing business with them.  They will get none of my $.  Thanks for the information!
