Jim Katen Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 So, is Sun Nuclear a scam operation? We placed an order for 4 monitors, they insisted on prepayment of the full cost and promised delivery in a month. The day before delivery was due, they sent us an email notifying us of an "update" to our order - it's delayed by another month. If I conducted business like this, I'd be out of business. Is Sun Nuclear a scam operation or are they just incompetent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles46 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 The last CRM I ordered from them was similiar. Prepay for the monitor, get an email saying it is a one month lead time, then day of expected shipment, get an email "updating" the shipping date to a week later. The "update" email was accurate. Scam or incompetent? I vote lacking competency. Some companies survive and even thrive in spite of themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erby Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I'd say they are too big to be a scam, but incompetence comes in all sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 We have very good service for parts and calibration. not so much for new devices. They are a hugh company and really on the edge of competency - my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben H Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 The last couple I ordered came in within a few weeks. However it took 3 days to get someone on the phone to place said order. It almost feels like they build them to order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I'd say they are too big to be a scam, but incompetence comes in all sizes. Scams come in all sizes too. If they're knowingly making false promises about delivery dates, then it's a scam. Likewise, their web site says "Terms are cash net 30 days starting the day the product transfers from Sun Nuclear or its supplier to the shipment carrier." Yet, when we placed the order, they insisted on payment at the time of the order. That's a scam as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Jim, which model did you order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Jim, which model did you order? We ordered the 1028s, mostly so that they would match an existing stock of 1028s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie R Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Same thing happened to me but I called them and insisted that since they couldn't ship for more than 30 days, they credit the purchase price back to my credit card, which they did. I received the unit 7 weeks after ordering (which was two weeks ago) and they still haven't re-charged my credit card. I'm waiting to see if they pick up on it or not. Incompetent.

You would think that they would have that CRM in stock.. I'm pretty sure it is their best seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mind the deception and the jerking around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 I too have never purchased a new device from Sun Nuclear. I do send my monitors to them for recalibration. They have always been timely and provided good service. They also fixed a broken monitor free of charge. It's apparent they have the most widely used and sought after CRM's for people like us. It's apparent they know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's apparent they know it. Their main push is in the medical diagnostic equipment field. I bet the allocate a very small amount of time and manpower to the radon equipment production part of the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 I bet the allocate a very small amount of time and manpower to the radon equipment production part of the business. Yes. I can't imagine it being any more than a fraction of a fraction per cent of their business, I can easily imagine them getting burned by a few hundred incompetent HI's over the years ("the check's in the mail"), they mfg. to meet (likely teeny) demand, and could give a shit about complaints.

Erby Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 One of the several reason I prefer paying RadaLink to take care of my radon monitor and record keeping needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
