A few weeks ago I posted here that I have a Simmons Aetec that went south on me, and I am going to replace it. Just for the principal of it I decided to try out their warranty service.
They have had the scope in their hands for 20 days now, with no response from Simmons. I have called several times, only to listen to some GOSH AWFUL music!
As I am writing this I finally spoke to a Human! I am told that they are in the process of moving from Ga. to Califonia and I should have a scope in about a week!
Even if I get 2 brand new replacements, I will not spend another penny on Meade/Simmons products! Speaking to a live person is next to impossible, and the music they play while you are on hold is obviously intended to get you to hang up! So the bottom line is, no matter what I get, it was not worth what I paid for it, and not worth the ten bucks shipping either!
