We bought a Moen faucet about five years ago. Some time ago, one of the pieces of the faucet broke and the handle became loose. We made do for a while, but it eventually bugged me enough that I called the company to order a new part. After asking me a few clarifying questions, the customer service representative who answered identified the piece that was broken and sent it to me... along with another part that, she says, I should change as well.
I was never asked for my receipt. She asked me what year I bought the faucet, not to see if I was still under warranty, but because a few years ago the shape of the piece was changed, and she wanted to make sure I received the right one.
No headache. No hassle. They did not make me feel bad, nor guilty, for calling them. My next faucet will be a Moen.

Hi Laurent,
ReplyDeleteI had the exact same experience with Moen last year. Not only did they send the broken piece but all the parts inside the faucet too... And I only sent en email with a picture of the broken part (and the receit too...)

I now understand why they stress that we should go directly to them, and not to the store owners or managers when something breaks in their products: they are managing their image.
ReplyDeleteI once returned a Moen cartridge to the store, and I had all sorts of problems getting a replacement. I eventually got the replacement because one of the employees told me to come back after hours, after the manager had left the store...
Thanks for your comment.
