    Anyone else have an issue with softopper customer service?
    Ordered topper w/ dog cut out window. Window was not shipped with topper.
    They’re phone option is disabled and not replying to my email inquiry (about a month).
    Aside from driving there…. Any suggestions?

    I've heard of a lot of complaints coming from other members here about their shady customer service.

    they were super helpful when I bought one off of a guy and needed to have some panels replaced. the lady on the phone sat down with me for about an hour while we tried to figure out what exact model I had ( I bought it off of a ford guy who bought it off a dodge guy who didn't know what it came off of) so that the panels would fit right. I gave them a 10/10. that was a few years ago though.

    They don’t offer phone anymore as a means of communication.
    I gave them a 0/10 rating in the customer service email as a last ditch effort to hear back

    Bestop owns Softopper now, maybe they are now a bit overwhelmed and customer service is crapping out? I got my black top in less than two weeks, seems the lead times are spotty. Did your top have a Made in Mexico tag on it?

    How about disputing the credit card purchase . That will surely get their attention. I’m sure they will contact you

    Hmmm... I purchased a topper on the 29th of June... few hours later got an update that it was shipped, then received a tracking number.... since then I check the tracking number and freight company says they haven't received it yet. There website say expect 2 to 3 weeks on some models, so I am being patient. Hope it all works out alright...

    Hope things work out for you too, OP.

    As soon as they(and most places)get an order they will print a shipping label but tracking won’t progress til the carrier picks it up. I got mine in 13 days, seems the tan ones take longer for some reason

    6 weeks later, and I still haven’t gotten a shipping notification. Sent an email, heard nothing in over a week. 6 foot bed topper… kind of a bummer.

    Bestop bought out Softopper so probably wouldnt change much on the CS side. Softopper's look better than Bestop's anyway
