Purchased Golden Lift Chair April 28, 2022 from Pill Box Pharmacy in Plantation. Chair was defective and was exchanged on June 27, 2022. Recurring problem reported again on Aug. 26, 2022.Told to contact Golden: objected since they were the ones that sold me chair. Supposedly ordered new chair and delivered such chair on Oct. 17th, 2022 with my paying delivery charge of $100!!!Lift chair continues with same problem of lack of filling in recliner as well as threads debilatating since onset. June 27, 2024 sent email to ******* Golden and still have not heard back. I will not Pill Box Pharmacy because I don't know what chair they brought that does not have a serial number. I am 79 years old and live from social security income and having paid ******* for a chair that would help me with my physical ailments was quite a sacrifice. I have been sold and exchanged a lemon!!! It has been years that I have been battling to get an adequate chair. I don't know what other resources I could use. I cannot afford a lawyer and don't have any monetary resources. I am hoping this might give me some resolution. Thank you.Business Response

On 1/26/2024 I received my $2,400 Golden Technologies mobility scooter bought from Spinlife. Within a week it was blatantly obvious there was a problem with the power delivery system. We had new batteries shipped to us on 2/6 (where my daughter had to change out the packs for me - required a screwdriver and actual maintenance to get them fixed). Did NOT fix the issue at all. By 2/28 a service technician had been out 3 times and still couldnt figure out the problem (he determined it was the upper dash console and ordered that part then). On 3/9 my family went to *********** thinking it would be fine because my mobility scooter had finally been fixed! Not the case at all!!! After 7 hrs and 8 miles (and 2 hrs spent charging at lunch) it started to act funny by randomly dying and the battery beeping at us but then jumping back to fully charged. Very confusing when the model we picked and spent extra money on was supposed to last up to 18 miles in a day so 8 miles is not even close!! We didnt know what to think so we left the park, of course it completely died on us in the parking lot and my daughter had to push it!! Not okay at all. We got home and assumed we must of not charged it properly the night before (how stupid of us!!). We went back to ****** on 4/20 where the day was even worse than the previous experience! After 3 hrs the scooter died and wouldnt turn back on. It eventually did turn on and we made back to the entrance for it to die and have to be pushed to the car (AGAIN!!!). By 4/26 I was told I needed to ship the scooter back to Golden so their technicians could take it apart and determine the fix. Golden wont send us a new unit even though it is VERY obvious that this is a lemon! Box was supposed to be shipped asap and it has now been 2 weeks with no box or call with an update. I am heavily mobility impaired and on federal disability because of it so buying this scooter on a fixed income was incredibly hard and took months to save for!Business Response

not hear back from them so I began calling them for an answer. Everyday I would have to leave my phone # and a recording said I would be called back. It took them a week to contact me again and then they stated it would be $175 just to have someone come out to diagnose the problem. It would be an additional cost to have them actually come back and fix the chair. I don't feel she should have to spend that money to get a chair that functions as guaranteed. The chair is not even a yr old and my mother is a very petite woman so it is definitely not an issue of abusing the chair. She needs a chair that works and does not have time to keep going back and forth between Golden tech and *** to resolve this issue. I feel the company should either repair the chair at no additional charge or send someone to pickup the chair and issue a refund so my mother can purchase a chair that functions as it should. This chair should ease my mothers life and provide comfort not cause her unneeded stress.Business Response

09/22/22 Purchased a Lite Rider envy for $1,850.00 brand new. Four months later it developed a knocking noise while riding which has become more constant & much louder. ***********************, at *********. in Southampton. Pa. ***** has attempted to correct the problem over the past few months. He now tells me that there is nothing else he can do for me. I purchased it from him & it is still under warranty. He has been evading me now & said he will have ***, from Golden give me a call but it never happens. He does not provide me with ***'s phone number or last name. I am left with no answer and am concerned it might not be safe. ***** has indicated that he has no interest at this point since it does work.Business Response
