Most people today take our modern communications system for granted and don’t realize that during a major “Act of God” like a natural disaster, civil unrest or the loss of the rule of law, which some refer to as a SHTF event (when the $hit Hits The Fan), or even what some speculate is a very real possibility in the modern age of warfare, an EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) blast, these systems that we’ve come to rely on such as your cell/mobile phone, your home telephone and the Internet may become unreliable, or even completely inoperable. In fact, it wouldn’t even take a major disaster to disrupt your ability to get help – it could be something as simple as the power going out due to excessive heat or a strong solar flare, which has happened in the past, and that’s when you need an EmComm (Emergency Communications) solution.

When the SHTF, BetterSafeRadio than Sorry!

Stephen, It's too bad that you refused my offer to repair or replace your discontinued radio, which had a very minor metal plating manufacturing error of an external part. Instead, you became argumentative and insulting, even refusing my offer to return and refund the entire order (after you threatened to send everything back without an RMA #), and then threatened to post a bad review. Your intractable position to work with me in good faith (like 99.9 % of my other customers), puts you in a select group of disgruntled, unreasonable customers that I will now no longer do business with.

Thanks for this Joe, I think? ;) This has to be the strangest review I've had so far, but I'll take it. I guess this means you're happy with your UV9G PRO, UV9PX and accessories. :) Cheers and Be Safe!

Solid, trustworthy business.

Glad I found this company

BetterSafeRadio has been excellent to work with. I won a radio from them in a contest, but that was just the beginning. They sell a great line of products and I have already ordered some great add-ons for the radio I won. I am so very glad I learned of this site through Reddit. I'll be ordering some more goodies soon!

Happy customer

I’ve ordered several time from BSR and the service and products are always top-notch. I would recommend upgrading your shipping because USPS has become atrociously unreliable and slow.

Great service!

Ordered a UV9GX+ from Mark along with the code plug set. Received code plug info immediately and the radio was shipped really quick. Instructions included with the radio are very clear and makes it easy to operate it.
I ended up having an issue with the radio and sent an email about it. A few hours later I got a response back with some troubleshooting steps. Fortunately the radio decided to magically fix itself, but happy to have the help to support it.
Spring sale is on now, so I'm going to order the ham equivalent.

Can’t get a reply on email.

Can’t get a reply on email.
3 out of 3 no reply after several days.
Would like to be like so many others and give great review about CSR support. But so far not over joyed with this aspect. Simply put I was interested in making my 3rd purchase with them. After not seeing a reply to emails. Perhaps not. The product speaks for itself and punches above it weight. The lack of finding a phone number to call them is also an issue.
Things like this have me reconsidering my choice in moving forward with more investments.

Hi Rex,

I’ve replied to you every time you’ve emailed me (including the one this morning).

I can’t help it that you use a horrible email service (Yahoo) which very frequently flags legitimate email as spam. I bet you’ll find all of my messages in your spam folder.

Further, I offer multiple chat and text methods of contact on my contact page that you’re welcome to try before assuming I'm not response to customer support issues.

Your review is not fair and I implore you to correct it, but I'm glad you like the gear, so thanks for that.

A superior service

I was extremely happy with the service. Items were packaged with care. Fast shipping. I also love that the radios came programmed with a host of frequencies and that the website has detailed descriptions of the times along with additional supplementary documentation I could download.

BetterSafeRadio goes the extra mile to provide a service above and beyond faceless corporate-type online vendors. It feels like a lot of care goes into the distribution of the products. A solid vendor you can trust. I would purchase from this source again without question. Thanks for what you do!

Always quick to answer the phone! That's important to me. Also, they know their products. I receive the answers I need from customer support whether it's for something I'm looking to buy, or have already purchased.
