Why place an order with a company that shows items in stock on website and then find out days later they are not. I was told the main item on my order (why ordered through them) is not available, but still shows in stock on their website. I give estimates on cost and how long repair will take by stock information given.

Hi Rey,
We hope you understand that everything is taking a couple days longer to arrive and it seems the waterpump you ordered is on back-order. We sent you a private message so we can get you in touch with a customer service representative and coordinate a refund. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

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.

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.

What?
The service and parts I received were so average I don't even remember making an order with this company, but they won't leave me alone until a post a review. So here it is. But I don't use either Facebook or Google so it won't post

Ordered a 500 oem part on 8/3 with expedited shipping. Suddenly the website states it wont be in until Nov 2nd!!!! Emailed, no reply. Now calling and I have been on hold almost 2 hours and Im still 50th in line. Boats.net you should be posting your capacity constraints on your website. This feels like a bait and switch tactic! We all understand times are tough, but if you are having this amount of capacity issues with no online cancellation policy how are customers supposed to get a refund when you can`t ship?
Additional info** After a little more than a 3 hour hold i was able to cancel and the refund came back to me within just a few days. Called a local marina who did a parts search and hooked me up with an out of state dealer to get the part shipped to me. Still waiting to hear back from boats.net as to why their site showed 2-3 days for shipping when even Yamaha had none in the states and could only find one in Japan!!!

I ordered three small parts over 2 months ago and haven’t received them. I then called customer service and waited 2 and a half hours for them to do a new order that still hasn’t come. Not the place to actually receive the products you paid for.

Hi Fixing Milk,
We are sorry to hear about the delay. Waiting two months for your parts, even during this health crisis, is incredibly frustrating and we know must do better. Please send us your order number and order information and we will get back to you shortly.

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.
