Hankook Tires are FINKS

Total Fail on Hankook honoring rebate offer... see below:

Letter to Hankook Faxed to Korean HQ... Surprise... no response. Broken English... broken promises.



Is this how you treat your customers? Unless my purchase discount/rebate is honored I will no longer purchase Hankook products. My wife even called and spoke with Mlee and got nowhere, apparently there was a language barrier also. We have not been really impressed or happy with the customer service department. Please advise/rectify.

Regards,
Yusuf (JP) Saleeby, MD

The mail-in was never returned to me by the US Postal Service, so what proof do I have that you never received it. In my opinion it was mailed correctly, you may have lost it at your end or not processed it (for whatever reason). I don't hold the USPS responsible. Just for a matter of completeness, I will no longer be purchasing Hankook products.

Regretfully,

JP

Michelle,

That is a horrible reply to my inquiry; that statement reflects poor customer service. I mailed in the rebate in good faith and followed instructions implicitly. You are now "Indian Givers" and will refuse to honor your rebate offering. Should I not receive my check from your company, I will be forced to never consider purchase of any product from your company in the future. That is too bad for I am a repeat customer and have always been loyal to the brand.

I expect you to go over my request and issue with your supervisor before denying your customer due process and consideration. If you provide a fax number I will fax you the receipt and date of purchase of the tires in Charleston, SC. I went to great lengths to print the forms from your website and fill them out completely and submit by mail before the deadline.
Respectfully,
Yusuf (JP) Saleeby, MD

Good morning JP & Sharon,
Unfortunately, we have never received a rebate application from you. We are not responsible for lost or misdirected mail. There is nothing further we can do as too much time has elapsed. A block has been placed on our system and we cannot enter any additional application entries.
Thank you for your attention.

We have submitted a rebate receipt and paperwork over a month ago for new tires purchased. The special was a rebate of $60 or $80 on 4 new tires. Wanted to check on status of this rebate check. Thanks, JP Saleeby, MD (912) 656-xxxx
