Letter to Yarbo

To Yarbo Customer Service

Dear Yarbo Customer Service,

Over the past several months, I conducted extensive research to find the best robotic mower available. During that process, I watched numerous YouTube videos covering nearly every major brand on the market. After discovering Yarbo, I became increasingly impressed by both the product demonstrations and customer reviews available online. I reviewed official Yarbo content as well as independent user experiences before making my decision.

Although Yarbo was among the more expensive options I considered, I ultimately decided the investment would be worthwhile. My existing zero-turn mower is aging, and I was excited about the opportunity to upgrade to a more advanced solution. In fact, I took out a loan in order to purchase the Yarbo with the Pro Mower attachment.

When the unit arrived, I eagerly began the setup process. However, upon opening the battery compartment, I discovered that the Xbox-style controller was not included. I also found that the SAM module was missing. Every Yarbo video and product review I had seen indicated that these items were included with the system.

After contacting Yarbo customer support, I was informed that these items were no longer included with new purchases, and that this policy had apparently changed approximately one week before I placed my order. Unfortunately, this information was not made clear during the purchasing process.

Naturally, I was very disappointed and initially considered returning the unit. To address the issue, I was offered 20,000 reward points to assist with purchasing the missing items separately.

However, after receiving the reward points, I discovered they were intended for the snow-track version of the Yarbo system. I live in southern New Mexico, where snowfall is extremely rare, making those rewards of little practical value to me. Since then, I have experienced difficulty reaching anyone who can assist in resolving the matter.

I want to emphasize that post-sale customer service is extremely important to me, especially when making a significant investment. Prior to this experience, I viewed Yarbo as a highly reputable company. While I genuinely enjoy the mower itself and appreciate the innovation behind the product, I am becoming increasingly concerned about the level of customer support I have received after spending more than $6,000.

I hope Yarbo will take these concerns seriously and help resolve these issues promptly. I would very much like to remain a satisfied and loyal customer.

Sincerely,
Greg Bouten

Hello Greg.

I think this is the 3rd time you have posted this open letter. It’s sort of spammy, don’t you think?

Also, we’ve already told you that your Yarbo points are good towards the purchase of ANYTHING in their online store. Not just “Snow track” related items. If you are unsure how to use the points, we can help you with that.

Anyway, good luck. I hope you find the satisfaction you seek. But you really don’t need to keep posting the same letter.

Hi Greg,

We’re truly sorry that you only learned about the removal of the SAM module and physical controller after placing your order. We completely understand how disappointing and frustrating that must have felt, especially after doing so much research and making such a significant investment.

Regarding the Yarbo Points, we’d also like to clarify that the points are not limited to snow-track related products only. You can actually use them to redeem many different items in the Yarbo store.

Since you purchased the Lawn Mower Pro, we believe the following accessories may be especially useful for you.

To redeem them, you can:

  • Visit the official Yarbo website

  • Tap the gift icon in the bottom-right corner

  • Click “Ways to Redeem”

  • Select the accessories you would like to redeem using your points

We truly appreciate your feedback and patience throughout this process, and we’ll continue working to improve both our communication and customer experience moving forward.
