Merchandise arrived defective

1

Merchandise was broken out of the box. When I called Thule, I was told that they couldn't help me over the phone, Instead I would be required to fill out the product warranty on their site and wait for a call in 2 to 3 days. I tried to explain the product was defective when I received it and it had never been used, I was told "sir this is our busy season". So far, no resolution and no word from the company despite jumping through the hoops I was asked to and completing the online forms.

The pin locking the swing mechanism broke on the first day. Brought the rack for replacement to the dealer. The pin on the replacement rack broke right in the store... Thule, is there any quality controle at your factory. I was hoping the brand would keep its reputation... No more!
