Redriven.net Redriven.ca SCAM?

These are made and inported from China folks. Dont let them tell you they are being made from them in Canada or elsewhere.  Can you trust that it will last the years needed to repay your investment if they cant be trusted to reply to your email and to tell you where the turbine is from?

Scary if you ask me..

Im unsure if its a scam, but id be leary and do more homework if it was me.

Redriven.net & Customer Service

Well here I am today, just attempting to let everyone know that if you plan to get serious about alternative energy that you should forgoe all efforts to spend your hard earned money with Redriven.net Redriven.ca.

This is beginning to be more of a game now than serious business.

As most of you know that have been reading this blog, ive been showing the world about some of the shady points of the people that own Redriven.

Again, on Wednesday September 3rd, 2008 I filled out the contact form located at http://www.redriven.net/contact.html and waited for a reply to some of my general questions to do with some of thier windmills.  Here it is the following monday with NO REPLY at all.

Let me ask you something right here..... Would you really spend $20,000 + of your money on alternative energy if they cant take 1 minute to email you back. Give you a call back or anything?  

Would this make you nervous about spending your money in the first place?  It SHOULD, this is the third time we have tried to contact them to see if we could get them to respond. All three times, NOTHING.

My point may be, if you want a chinese windmill / turbine, you might want to find a dealer that will admit to 1. It being Chinese 2. That responds to customers questions with an email in a timely fashion.

redriven.net Website Changed?

I see their website is down at the moment, OOPS its back up with what looks like a temporary website. I have to say, from what I see so far, the new website looks like total garbage.  Why in the world would you downgrade the looks?

I cant wait to see the products page, the terms of service. 

Ill report back when they get the terms of service up.

No Email Replies ?

Well I emailed Redriven.net over the weekend to time the reply that I 'Might' get. Now I realize that its a holiday, so I wait here in California here on wednesday for my reply. As of right now Wednesday Sept 03 I havnt recieve a reply to my product inquiry.  Take note that I sent the email on this past Friday.

Ill keep you updated on if they decide to get back to me or not.

Would you trust 15-20k with a company that wont email you back in a timely fashion?

What if your insurance company finds out?

Lets say you drop 25k on a new windturbine from ReDriven.net.

Lets say they come and install it and your putting out some power and your having a great time with it.

Lets say that something bad happends, lets say that during a storm it came unglued because well.....thats what chinese junk does.

Lets say during this storm the electronics burn out of it or something.

Will your insurance company cover this turbine and the subsequent electronics inside that operate the turbine if NONE OF IT IS 'UL' certified? You may ask, what is a UL certification.... UL stands for Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). Its a STANDARD in the United States for safety in electronics.

WOULD YOU BE COVERED??????? Thats a hard one to know, you might want to look at the fine print on your coverage. We all know how insurance companys will be looking to void any claim on any technicality they possibly can...

Good luck

Well today I tried to purchase redriven.org & redriven.com

Unfortunately for me, it appears that some other company has purchased them. What is humorous about where these domains point to is a company called 'China's Best Products'. If you surf around the site a bit (if you can stand it), you will see alot of the same images that Redriven.net have. The turbines and parts are EXACT. Now let me remind you that if you call or email Redriven and your lucky enough to talk to someone or get a return email they will tell you that the turbines they sell are REDRIVEN. They dont like to tell us its CHEAP CHINESE JUNK that will NOT stand the test of time!

I really wish I could have gotten my hands on those domains.

Remember folks, if you like your hardearned money, keep it in your wallet instead of handing it over to these clowns.

Youtube videos from redriven?

Lets try and be real here for a minute, these wind turbines were not put up by the folks at ReDriven.net!

Don't let anyone tell you any differently!

Folks if you value your money, KEEP IT IN YOUR WALLET!

Windmills from Redriven. What is the brand?

First of all I emailed them a few weeks ago asking for specifics on where its made, the brand etc.

They try and tell you that the brand is 'ReDriven'!!! There is no such thing folks, Redriven is the business name only. These things are coming over by BOAT from China. They don't appear to be UL listed in the United States from what I can tell or get from the emails I recieved from them as well.

So you will not have UL protection, and they are made in China and just rebranded Redriven which appears to be in Canada. So if your in the United States and something happends, your totally screwed. You will LOSE your money, and what about the people in China, are they going to be sympathetic to your cause? NO! HELL NO!

I suggest everyone read this and make up your own mind.

Has anyone seen one of these windturbines?

Im curious to talk to someone who has one of these up and running. How nice were the parts from china? How was the install? How are the instructions?

ReDriven.net ReDriven.Ca

I emailed them multiple questions, didnt get one single reply to my questions on some of the ebay auctions they were running. I would be very leary of using ReDriven.net or ReDriven.ca for your wind turbine.

Apparently Rebranded?
