ordered CFR mufflers in Feb 2018, they said could take 3 to 6 months to get. No problem, these were mufflers wanted. Aug 2018 no mufflers, started making calls and got all kinds of excuses, a guarantee their being shipped. Did not happen. After cancelling order in Sept, had to make more phone calls why monies not credited back, even told over phone it was done. Now twice by email told it was done, STILL not done. BBB has been contacted along with Visa doing a investigation for what that's worth. Dec still not seen 649.95. How can they get away with this?

Stay away
If you think the prices are to good to be true you are right, If you buy from these guys you are going to have a bad time. I'm down $900 for a part they advertise, don't stock and cannot source. Cannot get a refund as they don't answer emails or communicate. I'd rather spend a weekend at a hotel run by the Taliban than try another purchase through Phat performance. Run far, Run fast!!

have been waiting 29 days for a seat I ordered that was to take 14 to 21 days. No one returns my emails or phone calls. I was told it was being made by Lepera, I called Lepera and the have no record of the order. I called Phat again and the person told me owner would call me back. He did not. I called again after 3 hour because they were closing. When I asked for the seat or a refund I was told he couldn't help me and that I had to send a email for a refund and that refunds were only done on Sunday. They SUCK!

HORRIBLE
Ordered clutch parts that were listed "in stock" and typically ships same day. That was now going on five days ago and still no shipment. Also no response to my email asking about shipment and, of course, no response to my telephone call that went to voice mail. I'd have purchased from another vendor but didn't because it was listed as a quick shipment. I tried to cancel but their system wouldn't allow it because my order was too far along in the process. Too far along?? Pick up the box with your hands put it in a box, label it and ship it...too far along my behind. That was two days ago and it still hasn't shipped.
A week went by and no clutch parts, no comms from seller so I telephoned...again and again. Finally spoke to John who said the owner is working with the manufacturer to get the parts and I can talk to the owner. Really?? I told him to just cancel the clutch. No can do over the phone. I need to send an email. Really?? cuz you were just going to have me talk to the owner about his business with the manufacturer. I sent a cancellation email and asked for a confirm. Nothing. A week goes by and send another asking for a confirm. Nothing. Get the charge card bill and I'm charged for the merchandise. Now I'm jumping through hoops with the credit card company proving that i cancelled the clutch. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS VENDOR UNLESS YOU WANT SLOW SHIPPING AND NO CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I despise being lied to
I despise being lied to. There is absolutely no place for a company to repeatedly lie about shipping an order in today's market.
I guess it's time to file a claim as its been over thirty days and I'm still being told 'two weeks', 'next week', or 'tomorrow' or whatever pops into their mind at the time.
Phat Performance Parts was exceptionally quick to take my money, wish they had a little bit of that motivation to actually ship products.

Good response from boss, useless from sales team, mistake from them, wasting my time, they cancel my order then greedy price gouging
I bought a stereo for $315 which was 20% cheaper than the competition. I tested their new site to get the 7% discount and called Jensen as their sales guys are too lazy to do it.....then gave them the info I'd obtained to allow them to sell to more people since they can now say that it fits almost all Harleys 98 to 2013.
Next minute I get an email from the boss telling me the price was supposed to be nearly $650 which is waaaaaay more expensive than the competition.
I get that people make mistakes, but own your mistakes. I just helped these guys both improve their advert, test their new site AND fix a pricing error but he repays me by offering the same 'price match' almost everyone does; for wasting my time. No thanks, I will give my business to the most competitive company that bothers to tell me the stereo will fit my bike instead of wasting my time, canceling a valid order without even asking and then expecting to charge an insane price.
Here is the email conversation:

Hello,
I placed an order a few minutes ago and forgot to apply the code PHAT7 after checking out your new site.
I called your sales team and they said just reply to this email and the boss can apply it retro-actively.
Please do so so I can get the 7% discount or cancel the order so I can re-do it properly.
I called Jensen customer support and they told me that this will work with the 1998 Electra Glide Classic FLHTC so you might want to update your listing to make more sales.
They said the wiring and thumb controls are compatible but the auto volume down when slowing down will not work (which I don't care about)
with regards,
Craig

Thanks for the order! Unfortunately this items price was a price mistake on the website as you may have guessed. This means we are not able to process the order at the current price. The correct price should be $623.09. We’re able to extend 10% off this price if you still wanted the item to make up for the mistake. This will still be one of the best prices avail on this kit.
The order has been canceled accordingly. If you would like to order at the correct price a new order will need to be placed. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
Regards,
Terry

Thanks for your reply; but isn't that against consumer rights?
You were $100 cheaper than the next cheapest supplier; but now you are about $200 more expensive.
I'd prefer you just honor the price after all the messing around including testing your new web site and sitting on a line waiting for info from Jensen for ages........which you can now apply to your advert to net you more sales. It was definitely an inconvenience so would rather not cancel.
regards
Craig

I am sorry Craig, internet companies are exempt from price rules as they list hundreds of thousands of items are at given time. I am sorry for the mistake but we are not able to ship at the original price as it was a mitake. Were happy to match the lowest price you can find on this time as long as it list the correct MSRP of $650ish. Let us know. T

I'd rather give the business to the person with the fair prices, next to one lone seller on Ebay, you are by far the most expensive, so it would be both unfair to other sellers ......and myself given my time I've wasted that you don't seem to have any regard for.
Thanks for your polite tone, but I'd rather you were rude but fair. As a business owner myself, I think sometimes it is better to take the hit but you are obviously a different kind.
with regards,
Craig
