I bought a Husky 2000S pressure washer last year. I used a couple of
times and it worked great. This spring, I started to wash my deck chairs
and made it thru 2 chairs and foot rests and the pressure washer
started leaking.
I troubleshot it and it was a blown plastic cap. No problem, Husky
should stock these. Nope! I need a whole new manifold assy. It's covered
by warranty and that's when the circus started:

Darlene: Hi, How may I assist you today?
John L: I have a 2000S pressure washer and it is leaking from the
manifold. The leak is coming from a plastic plug held in place by a
retaining clip. The head of the plug is physically warped allowing water
to come and the machine will not shut off and the output pressure is
significantly reduced.
Darlene: the manifold will need to be replaced
John L: Is it covered by warranty?
John L: I have less than 3 hours of run time on this machine.
Darlene: When was the unit purchased and what is the main use of the
unit
John L: It was purchased 09/09 and it is for home use.
Darlene: To place this order I'll need your full name, phone number, and
shipping address. There is no charge for this order.
John L: John k
John L: John,
Darlene: Please hold one moment
John L: OK
Darlene: Order ID 492265
Darlene: The order has been placed for you. Please allow 3-5 business
days for your order to be shipped. The parts will be shipping out UPS
ground and can be tracked via the UPS website (www.UPS.com) using your

John Lesniak: Thank you very much and have a great day!

It get's better!

Shannon: Hi, How may I assist you today?
John L: I would like to know the status of order 492265.
Shannon: Sure, give me just one moment to check on that for you.
John : ????
Shannon: I apologize for it taking so long. We received the order on May
25, for the Manifold assembly and I'm showing that that was just fine,
however I'm having trouble finding tracking information on it.
Shannon: Let me look a little more in to this, just one moment please.
John L: ok
Shannon: I sincerely apologize for the long wait. I'm going to go ahead
and get your order to reship. For some reason, I cant see to locate any
tracking information. I'm going to make sure it ships out in the next 3
business days via UPS. Again, I sincerely apologize for the
inconvenience.
John L: Please get it to me as fast as possible. I really need to
finish a project that is holding up another project that must be done
before I get too much more rain.
Shannon: I understand, I will see what I can do to ship it out to you on
Monday (unfortunately UPS has already left today so I can't ship it
today)
John L: Thanks!
Shannon: you're welcome. You have a great day.
Let's give it another spin.

Yacine: Hi, How may I assist you today?
John L: What is the status of order 492265?
Yacine: Please just give me one moment. I'm going to research that for
you now.
Yacine: The part will be ship out next Monday and you should receive it
by the end of the week
Yacine: Is there anything else I can help you with today?
John L: I was just on the phone with customer support and he was giving
me an UPS tracking number because he said it had already been sent out.
It has been 12 business days since the part was ordered and I am still
waiting delivery. Every time I ask about it, I get a different excuse.
Please provide me with a phone to a supervisor. I do not want the
1-888-550-1606 number either.
John L: The customer service person hung up on me before he finish
giving me the tracking number.
Yacine: Please call at 1800 381 0999 to speak with the supervisor
The number was just another number to a CSR.
I finally spoke with Chris, a supervisor, today 11JUN10 ( the same day
as the above chat and phone call). He said that the part is on back
order until 18JUN10. I asked to speak to his supervisor/boss and stated
that there was no one higher than him I could speak with. I asked for a
corporate number and he said there was none.
I confronted him with the above chats and phone call and he kept on
dodging the bullet. I have dealt with customers and I would be ashamed
of myself if I acted like these people.
They constantly give you excuses and say anything to end the call. I am
truly sorry that I trusted Home Depot's reputation and bought this Husky
product. The projects I wanted to get done before the real heat starts
are a pipe dream.
I know someone from Husky is going to read this and say call this number
and we'll fix the problem. A good start would be just telling the
truth.
I spent 24 of my 45 years on this earth, defending the USA and this is
what I get for being a good guy.

Just spoke with Yacine
from the Husky PowerWasher Customer Service Team and she said that
manifolds are in stock now and my part will be sent out Tuesday and I
will receive by Friday.
There is not a system in place that they will auto email me a tracking
number once the part has been sent. I have to contact them to get the
information on Tuesday.
Why do I feel that I just fell for the shell game again?
