3Good value for the price... but, at what cost?
By H.T.M
Although it's universal "one size fit all", it works great with my Garmin Nuvi 285WT. The spacers provided helps in tighter fit but, it's still a bit loose and adding your own will eliminate whatsoever extra looseness there is.
There's only one reason for the 1 star rating, see #3;
1. Item arrived with 2 minor "scrape marks" on the clear window plastic. Luckily, it wasn't in the center of the window.
2. The mounting clamp to the handle bar for my motorcycle showed a sign of weakness, started to turn white, after 2 days of being mounted.
Upon contacting the vendor, I was offered an upgrade clamp at no charge.
Initial shipment arrived in front of schedule, USPS of all things, client service replied within minutes of sending e-mail and tried to resolve the issues at hand professionally.
For those of you looking for similar item, from this or any other vendor, look for a better clamping device(upgraded heavy responsibility ones, if available). Considering it hold an costly device in place, further and added few dollars is well worth the price.
When the substitute clamp arrive, I will re-rate the product to 5 stars, if possible, just for the magnificent client service, which is rare now days.
3.Well, I received no "upgraded" clamp. In fact, never heard from them again after e-mailing them and informed them that I reconsidered the return and opted to receive their offer of "upgrade". It's now been @ week since the last e-mail.
Update: I in the long run got a reply stating that person in charge of my order is on vacation and thing got backed up. Regardless, I did receive the upgraded mounting clamp as offered and it will work for me. Hope it didn't take so long to get this resolved, the product was worth the price paid, the service needs betterment but at least it got done. Therefore, I'm upgrading the star rating from 1 star to 3 for at last resolving the issue.
