I ordered 6 spark plugs for my motor and they were shipped to me in a Ziploc bag inside a plastic bag mailer with no other packaging, 3 of them were damaged and even if they weren't I would not have used them for fear that they would cause a breakdown 40 miles offshore!!! I called and was told that they would send me a label for return but no concern for the way that they were shipped.

I have used Boats.net for years
I have used Boats.net for years. I ordered a part online. First off the shipping was three times the price of the part but I needed it so what can I do. Then when I got it. It was the wrong part. It would cost me more to send it back.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. We would like to make this right for you. Please call our customer service hotline so we can look into this and help you further. Thank you for the order and for continually choosing Boats.net

It was good as business owner
It was good as business owner, sadly Boat.net has grown that forgot about business owners.
Late shipments or delays in shipping and no more comercial discounts forced me to stop buying as we used to

Unfortunately shipping issues have occurred during Covid and caused delays beyond our control once they leave the warehouse. We truly do care about every customer and their order and we hope you give us another chance to earn your loyalty Carlos.

Spark Plugs
Spark Plugs
I ordered spark plugs from this website and the item said in the title "pack of 4". So I ordered (1) pack of 4 of the spark plug I needed.
I even called to confirm the item I selected was a pack of 4.. becuase it was $6.. seemed like the price of a single spark plug... but they confirmed it was 4...
Only one single spark plug arrived.
I called again to see why I only received one spark plug when I ordered "a pack of 4". They explained thats how the manufacturer of the item wants the product to be listed on their website.
BUT, they did place another order to send me another spark plug, expedited shipping and waiving the shipping cost. I requested they rename the product listing.
For this reason and because I don't need the spark plug immediately.. 2 stars is fine.
This was my first experience using this site, not sure if other products may be listed with a deceiving title or not.. but how can they expect anyone to know any different from the listed name of the item?

Hi Daniel,
We are surprised to hear about your experience and we will be looking into updating the labels of some of the misnamed parts. We appreciate the heads up and the feedback. We are going to continue to work on improving our communication and labeling systems. Have a great day.

Parts in stock
Parts in stock. Pay for expediting. Supposed to arrive on a Wednesday before a holiday weekend.... and they don’t fulfill the order until 3 days later and parts now get here until the following Monday. If I don’t pay for expediting, fine, I get what I pay for. But I paid for expediting and certainly didn’t get it. Agree with previous comments... just find the part number on boats.net and then order from Amazon. At least you’ll get your stuff on time. Two stars instead of zero since at least the prices seemed reasonable.

Hi Travis,
It is unfortunate to hear about your experience with Boats.net. We are sorry about the delay, even when using expedited shipping parts sometimes can take longer than expected to arrive due to a variety of factors. We will try to be more upfront about when your parts are expected to arrive and update you every step of the way. We hope you have a nice weekend.

Boats.net Mislead Me, Not Once but Twice
I placed an order for a SC-1000 Tac. I received it on time, but the bezel, that the salesman told me was on it, was not there. I called, to find out why and they said, that it was never there and that the sales person was wrong.
I ended up ordering the bezel, they said they were in stock. I mount up the tac in my new boat. awaiting the Bezel, that makes it look right, and nothing shows up. I get on and find out that they lied to me again. The bezel was no longer in stock and would not be shipped until the 8th or 9th of the month.
That is a 100% failure in my mind. I paid for rush handling and everything.
I would look long and hard before I used these guys again.
They did respond and said mistakes happen. Well this is twice, once when they said the kit included a bezel and a second time, when they said it was in stock and Inshould pay for priority shipping. That isn't a mistake, that is a grevious failure of any customer satisfaction policy. A resolution would be to supply the bezel freight free, or supply the bezel they said was included. This isn't about a $28.00 bezel w/freight, it is about customer satisfaction, which is always defined in the mind of the customer.

Hi Greg,
We are sorry about the miscommunication regarding the bezel. We try our best to keep our site up to date with the latest updates on our parts, mistakes happen from time to time and we apologize for the confusion. We are sure the bezel will arrive very shortly and we hope you will give us another chance.

Terrible customer service--no response
Terrible customer service. Ordered 7/13, shipped 7/23...supposedly...and as of 7/30 still has not arrived. Customer service will not respond to emails nor calls. I will Never use this site again. Update--finally got a call back 7/30 and they said they are starting the process to refund my purchase. Takes 7-10 days.....we shall see. Update 8/14--They refunded my money...thank you. Product never showed up.

Hi Jim,
We are sorry that everything is taking longer than usual. This is a frustrating time for us as we are working under strict COVID-19 regulations and reduced staff and reliant on the shippers to deliver the parts on time. We are happy to hear that our customer service team is processing a refund for you. Please send us an email at [email protected] with your order information if you have still not received your refund by then.

I am having the same issues
I am having the same issues, i understand Covid, but 8-10 days is the bar they have set on replying to an email...

Hi ST,
We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with our customer service team. We have been dealing with reduced hours and reduced staffing and this has contributed to delayed responses and delayed orders. It should not have taken 8-10 days to reply to your email. This is not up to our usual standards and we are hoping to return to our pre-COVID-19 structure very shortly. We sent you a direct message so we can look into your order and we look forward to hearing back soon.
