It can happen with any item and any seller. It all depends on how good the service is AFTER the sale. EF is awesome for customer service. I have had three major toy "damaged in shipping" or "dead on arrival" over the years, and in each case it was an over $100 premium toy!!!!

That has sure been our biggest issue...the REMOTE. That is why we NEVER get one with a "thumbwheel" type control or on/off anymore. THOSE always get lube or something in them and then POOF, they are broken in no time. Give me a nice touch screen or solid buttons/switches.

Indeed. Same here. EF is THE BEST for everything...including customer service, when needed.

Indeed. The high end toys we got that were broken were FACTORY SEALED. How could we hold EF responsible? However, they replaced these toys RIGHT AWAY. THAT, as much as anything, made us devoted customers.

Never any broken toys but I did have an incident where the oil bottle opened up and ruined some of the other products. Eden replaced it all immediately! They have great customer service!!

No, I've never received a damaaged toy but mine are mostly silicone. I have received more than a few dvds that had come loose from the case and were scratched.

I've gotten one so far, in my many many many orders from Eden- the bullet in my Tantus Tsunami totally doesn't work at all. But I don't even care to bother sending it back It's too small an issue for me!

Just recently, but im in the process of getting an exchange. So far things are going smoothly, we shall see. I always come to EF for all my toy needs, even though it is faster to go to my local store, I truly trust EF!

My A bomb came with a very very minor defect on it, but it's not something I see as worth sending back.

Yep, one was a free vibe that was a free gift and just now I got a very high end vibe that's dead on arrival. From my experience so far I know EF will take care of it, there customer service is great.

I've received many defective toys from EF. It sucks to return since I'm in Canada and EF doesn't cover any shipping costs and will only process returns, no exchanges. It can cost me an extra 50$ out of my pocket just to get a new toy that works. Usually I've had great customer service experiences with getting things handled quickly but I'm currently in the process of returning a defective Jopen and it's been over a month since I opened the ticket and I still can't get any help.

Nope, I've had good luck with everything I've ordered here. The only minor problem I ever had was one time I got a vibrator in a different color than I'd ordered. It wasn't a big deal to me.

When we received our Fetish Fantasy Swing it had a cut in the nylon webbing where it attaches to the metal bar. Defective right out of the box. I felt it would not be safe to use as this cut would expand with use. We simply submitted a return ticket, printed the return label and dropped the box off at the UPS store. Eden promptly sent us a new swing. We have ordered many, many items from Eden and this was the only item we have returned. We were thrilled with the excellent customer service!

I would send another ticket or whatever it is can do, because this doesn't sound at all like the customer service I, or all the other members, have been talking about! I really find it hard to believe that you have to foot the return postage on something that was sent to you defective! I'm not doubting that's what you were told/read, but I'd get another opinion on that, especially when we are talking $50!!

I don't live in Canada, but hearing your experience, as well as some of the others from Canadians, it makes me wonder if I would use EF if I lived there. It just seems all I hear about are the tough times you guys have with shipping issues! But, I can't say I know anything about the problems EF has with shipping their, either.

That said, I have received stellar customer service, probably the best service I have ever had with a company as far as dealing with mishaps. In all the items I have received, only a few had something wrong with them & all of those were manufacturer defects. Customer service has always been friendly, quick to respond & really flexible in offering different options to suit me. I don't have a printer & they always happily mail me a free return label as I have had to return every defective item. But, as soon as I have the tracking number, I send it to them & they send my replacement instead of having to wait for them to get the return. Talk about making everything less painful, they really try to avoid as much inconvenience to me as possible!

The return policy is what drew me to EF, not the points , but if the actual return process wasn't so smooth & easy, it would not have been a reason to stay. I imagine there are others who remain loyal customers based on their similar experiences with customer service. Kudos to that department & a special thank you to Megan, who has been my primary contact & a pleasure to work with!

The only problem I've had was with a Liberator BonBon. It must of been placed under a lot of weight while being shipped UPS. The fabric was fine, but it had a rip in the foam. No problem though, Eden/Liberator replaced it within a week.
