On hold two days ago for 105 minutes to place an order. Literally left phone there on speakerphone while I worked on boat. I call another department later and someone eventually calls me back to place order. Two days later. Still no order in progress. Back on hold for another 2 hours. No answer. Get customer service on the line. This time just tosses me back in the call queue for sales. Says oh gee no order is in the system for you. Ya no $hit. Just told you I have zero tracking info coming from the shipping companies (I get alerts moment a package gets in their systems) so clearly the sales guy didn’t do his job. Back on hold. Another 59 min. Gave up. Called two sales managers directly. No one answers. Left messages. Haven’t heard back yet. Own also the prompts that pop up during hold say press 1 to leave a message. Press 0 for operator at any time during call. Neither work. Anytime I place a phone order (which I try to avoid) the order never shows up in my order history. You can’t see shipping until after an order is placed. Simply adding a new CC to your account is a pain in the a$$. This is pathetic and inexcusable. Get your act together AVAD. Like how can you suck so bad in so many aspects for so long and never get your $hit together. I remember months ago someone from AVAD reached out to me in another post saying we are making things better etc etc. Clearly things are not even remotely better. AVAD you 150% suck as a distributor.

Remember a few years back when they sent everyone in their database an invoice for 100k or more just randomly?
That was awesome.

WAVE is in charge now.. Have you tried the new WAVE website that went live on Monday?? What a F-ing disaster... someone took a great working website and turned it into absolute shit.

I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's AV trouble, a man alone. |

I just noticed something...
“Mark Fukuda, former WAVE COO and newly appointed CEO of the combined company”
I’m thinking it’s not by chance his last name has Fuk u in it.

That was awesome. If you send something to everyone, it cannot possibly be random. I know you're making a point, but you don't have to state the impossible to criticize the stupid.

We quit ordering from avad years ago. Last order we placed took twice as long as it should have to get and it was all wrong, then took forever to get it replaced with right stuff

I’m thinking it’s not by chance his last name has Fuk u in it. I knew that name was familiar- he was a hot shot in the car audio world in the '80s and now he's a CEO in consumer electronics? Great- I bet he thought he would be a good fit. IIRC, he installed a remote car starter in a Toyota pickup with manual transmission, but didn't use an interlock for the starter, so it went about a block after starting because it was in gear.

Makes it not such a good idea for most small 1 man shops to do business with them. Amazon is actually a better choice than that. Sad :(
