My Experience with Todays Gear

Hello,

I have created this site to document this shady company who primarily sells products under the Backyard Gear name.  I unfortunately bought one of its products and have attempted to contact the company over the last four months in every available form.  Unfortunately this company has no regard for the customers that buy their products and will not respond to consumer complaints or warranty claims. If you call their support number on their site you will only get a recording and prompt to leave message. No one responds to phone, email or mail.  Please check out their profile on the Better Business Bureau website (below)- They are rated F

In my case I brought their Deluxe Barbeque Station BB150 and it began leaking profusely after the second use. Note, I only used this product a total of two times on holidays and it had issues. It is now a piece of junk sitting in my backyard. I have spent hours emailing, leaving messages and writing this company which never responded.  I have compiled the following links and resources to bring light to this company’s bad practices.  If you have been frauded by this company, please do the following and utilize the links below: 

(1) Create a complaint on RipOffReport.com
(2) File a Complaint With the Better Business Bureau
(3) File a complaint with the Minnesota Attorney General's Office  
(4) Write a complaint letter to the reseller - including other complaints and references.
