Q: how old is my sewing machine
A: we're glad you asked. How Old is your Merrow?
Q: this is a great program, but I have 40 machines can you come here to service them?
A: we'd love to, but no. What we can do is set up a dedicated service window for your equipment and have some percentage of the machines (say 10 at a time) come in on a palette and be turned around together and quickly.
Q: i need it returned FASTER than 5-7 days....
A: and we can help. we have an expedited program, just call us and let us know how quickly everything needs to get done.
Q: do you replace the gaskets?
A: we replace any beat-up gaskets that need to be replaced. almost all the gaskets are replaced as part of the $299 program, however there are one or two exceptions
Q: do you replace the gaskets?
A: we replace any beat-up gaskets that need to be replaced. almost all the gaskets are replaced as part of the $299 program, however there are one or two exceptions
Q: I really like my local mechanic, why are you taking business from him?
A: we also really like your local mechanic. and if he can take care of your Merrow then PLEASE send it to him/her. We're offering this service for all of the Merrow customers who don't have a local mechanic anymore, but want to keep their machines in tip-top shape
A: not right now. for the time being our $299 program is only applicable to Merrow Sewing Machines.
Q: Is this an international program
A: Not right now. Plans for rolling it out in the UK, India, Brazil, Mexico are underway however. If you'd like to be a Factory Service Provider let us know -- if you are in some part of the world that needs service, also let us know.
Q: for $299 what do I get 'free'
A: obviously having paid $299 nothing is free... however for $299 you get the following
1. shipping (3 ways) :: box to you --->. machine back to us ---->; machine back to you
2. upper & lower loopers
3. upper & lower cutters
4. needle
5. 3 hours labour to clean and service the machine
Q: what happens if the service is more than $299 AND I DON'T WANT TO PAY
A: if you send in a machine and we can't service it without adding/replacing parts, or need to spend more than 3 hours on it-- we'll call you and let you know what the additional charges are. Keep in mind we WILL NOT charge for additional labour, just parts. If you still don't want to pay (you bought the machine for $50 on ebay and don't want to pay $650 in replacement parts) we have two options for you.
1. we will offer you a credit for the machine if you purchase a new one. The credit averages $600 (not bad if you bought the machine for $50 ....)
2. we will ship it back to you and charge you just for the cost of freight (usually around $90)
Q: is this only for broken machines?
A: no. machines need to be cleaned, tuned, re-oiled, and have general maintenance done. This program does this especially well.
Q:how old is my machine? Is there any agism in the service program
A: we'll be posting serial # aging (carbon-dating) information later this week. If your machine pre-dates the korean war chances are we'll take a shot at it but we can't guarantee anything.
Q:can you make me another M-XXYY, or A-3DW-1 machine, I love the one I have and want it duplicated
A: maybe. one of the things we've been pretty good at is standardizing parts over the years. Chances are we can make an MG class version of that A class machine. Send in a stitch sample and we can try.
Q: will you just buy my machine back if it's DOA
A: sometimes. we have prepared a fair and generous buy-back program for machines that are somewhat salvageable salvageable. If the machine is just a bucket of parts chances are we'll be nice about it, but simply send it back.
PLEASE EMAIL service@merrow.com with more questions. As we get them we'll post the answers to the FAQ.
