Staying Strong During COVID-19
These are uncertain times, and we at POM want to assure our clients that we are open for business and able to meet your needs. Since the first known outbreaks of COVID-19, POM has kept the factory and office open. We have continued production and shipments of our contract manufacturing and parking meter products, and we have continued our engineering, accounting, sales and customer service from the office. We do offer and encourage online, virtual product demonstrations and online interaction between prospects and our existing client references as opposed to face-to-face meetings with clients (for now). To keep our employees safe, we have closed the office and factory to unsolicited visitors; hand sanitizer stations have been placed all over the plant and office; we offer free face masks for all workers; we take temperatures of staff and encourage those who have been exposed to stay home and get testing; and we encourage social distancing in all areas of the plant and office. We just replaced our phone system with a new cloud-based system that will help us provide even better, real-person phone monitoring for our customers. Together we will survive this pandemic and emerge a stronger industry. Call us at 800-331-7275 or email pom@pom.com and let us know how we can serve you today and into the future.

Repair Policy
If your meter is out of warranty and you want to send it in for repair, please put a note with it indicating what the issue is, box it up with good, protective cushioning, and take it to your local UPS or Fedex office. POM will only send a prepaid courier for items under warranty. Damage in shipping caused by improper and/or inadequate packaging and separation (i.e. multiple items) are NOT covered by warranty. Please do not send meters that are so old the main boards and coin chutes are no longer available, as our repair technicians will not expend labor to troubleshoot them. If we do receive one that is non-repairable, we will need authorization to either return it as-is and bill you for the shipping, or authorization to scrap it at the factory. If you are unsure if your meter is repairable, press the reset button and call POM Customer Service with the firmware number (first 8 digits that appear after reset) and we will look it up. Thank you.
