Grado Customer Service (Bad)

I have had really good luck and customer service from Grado, both with headphones and cartidges (back in the day).  One time when I called, I even got John Grado on the phone.  He was very nice and helpful.

I like their house sound for headphones, although I own other brands, too.  But, overall, they have been really good to me, and many others.

And, if you have to get testy, please be nice.  They are all from Brooklyn, New York and are probably pretty inexperienced with coarse language :)

My only service experience with them was very positive. I had a pair of G1000s and the wood turned sort of grayish. I’m not sure how long I had them, but I think it was a couple of years. I sent them in and they sent a new pair. I didn’t expect that at all after such a long time of ownership. 

I had a good experience regarding one of their cartridges. They honored a warranty that had expired six weeks prior. It did take some time for them to get back to me but that’s not out of the ordinary.

Welp, I returned the headphones over a week ago. They emailed me back pretending not to receive any of my prior emails. I had to explain once again why I was returning them.

I kept it short and simple just letting them know they sent me brand new headphones with a bad plug.

They asked if I wanted a replacement and again, I didn't get into any of the previous emails I just politely said that I'd like to return please.

It's again been over a week and I haven't heard back. 

This is really bad on all fronts..

@bcgood Well internet law says that the sale is in your jurisdiction, assuming you purchased them online. From everything you’ve explained, I’d be aggravated myself. Isn’t there a way to call them?
