Wow. I purchased a humidor from the shop as an alternative to less expensive models found online with the hope that spending more at a local shop would provide a better product with higher quality components. After following the instructions and seasoning the box correctly, I noticed the hygrometer gauge did not budge from time of purchase. I then purchased a replacement humidor online with the intent of returning the defective product. When I tried to return the product I was told "no" because it had been seasoned even though the hygrometer was broken. I informed them that I had already purchased a replacement and the snide answer I received was "well I guess it looks like you're gonna have 2 now". Great. Awesome professional customer service. Another employee decided to try and smooth things over by telling me he'd sell me another hygrometer instead of replacing it for free, which I denied. Realizing that I wasn't going to leave, the last solution was to pull an old trash bag full of cheap hygrometers from the back to replace the already cheap broken one I was stuck with. When I told the 3 employees that I had worked over 20 years of retail customer service and this was not the way to treat people they seemed irritated. I simply wanted my money back for a defective product that their establishment sold me. Typically in situations such as these the retailer refunds the customer and returns the defective product to the manufacturer for a credit. Even if they did lose the few bucks on the sale it does not outweigh the loss of a customer and future sales. Now I'm stuck with the product and won't return to the shop again. It's really a shame that even the most meager effort could have salvaged this customer service experience.
