Hi all,
I decided on an Oztent RV5 and paid the money on 9/12/10. I was guaranteed delivery before xmas.
It was sent last week but addressed to
Parkes ACT not
Parkes NSW.
I will hopefully see it by the end of this week 14/01/11.
Ive contacted them what feels like a dozen times but haven't had a satisfactory answer to the delivery problems. Their answer is because Ive purchased thru a camping store (Large camping chain) That Ive gotta contact them and when i get the store to contact Oztent they don't get a satisfactory (accurate) reply.
I believe they've got a good product but have delusions of adequacy in the service dept.
Regards Mike

That's a first. I have never had a problem with Oztent as far as service goes, and neither have a couple of friends who have the same tent.
I think your beef is with the store you bought it from. Clearer addressing was needed, which it seems the store did not provide.
Good luck with it. You will love it once you get it. And from there on, if you ever have to contact Oztent direct with any problems I think you will be more than happy with their response.
Cheers

Hi Jack,
The address part of it can be explained by a typo either end No dramas That happens Move on.
But when the store rang Oztent looking for it and they stated it had left that day to be delivered 2 days later and when 3 days had passed and it hasn't arrived, The store would ring again and it would be a different story Like it was being made and would be leaving the next day etc.

Hi Mike
Do not let this get you off to a bad start with Oztent.
We have had the RV4 for a number of years now and it is the best tent that we have ever purchased. We purchased it direct from Oztent and it arrived in about 4 days from
Sydney into country SA. I have since purchased extras for the tent, again direct from them and super fast delivery. I have also had to use their service department for help when we damaged the frame (No fault of the tent what so ever, we never pegged in down and we were hit by a mini tornado in
Quilpie. We held the tent with that much force to stop it from blowing away that we bent the top part of the frame. We thought that we were unlucky, but many caravans had very expensive roll out awnings ruined and a lot more that $25 to repair) When we spoke with the service department they were very helpful, but like he said and it was very true, what happened was no fault in any way with Oztent. We paid the small price for the new cross bar, and it was here in 3 days. I can only sing praise for their help and very fast delivery every time that I have wanted something from them.
Like the service man said, always peg it down to stop this type of thing from happening.
You will very soon to be able to use your very wise purchase.
Cheers and Happy Camping
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
I hope your right, I hope my experience is a one off as I plan to have the tent for many years to come.

Hi all,
Quick update on the long and drawn out saga. The tent was supposed to be hereon Wednesday but didn't show, again promised to arrive Friday (today) and again no show.
I know they are supposed to have a good name for service but I just cant see it. The owner is apparently the one chasing it, If I was him. I would of sent another one weeks ago.
If your going to buy one, get one off the shelf and don't pay for it till you receive it.
Good news is its supposed to turn up next Tuesday or is it the Tuesday after.
Cheers Wilko

Perhaps you could still get one quicker and cheaper from the USA, I have a 10% Discount Certificate so it would be $899.00 over here.
