This company seems to be formal, but when you return the goods, they change their faces. First, you have to pay a 25% restocking fee, and you have to pay a lot of freight, which far exceeds the actual freight. Even if the goods you buy have not been used at all. What's even more exaggerated is that you can only refund half of the tax when you buy it! Robbery!

Seems to me they are scoundrels, I ordered a $6,388 generator kit, they decided to ship only part of the kit leaving out the base. They decided to charge me the full amount of the kit, and told me the base would be shipped 2.5 months later. I told them they had not right to do that, I cannot have a 400lb generator sitting around and I cannot do anything without the base, cancel the order. I am still waiting on the credit to my account and filed a dispute with the credit card company. They were very fast to charge the full amount for a partial shipment. Buy from someone else.

we had had a terrible experience with this company. we feel we were purposely misled on shipping times, and would have never ordered from this company had we known that the product would not arrive for as long as a month or later, since they inform us AFTER the order was funded, that they do not even have the item in stock. Additionally, we were treated rudely by one of their staff when we tried to resolve the issue. they offered no resolution, and made no effort to make it right.

I purchased a Quincy Air compressor from Air Compressors Direct (ACD), aka Power Equipment Direct (PED) on 11/30/20 with a shipping date of 12/10/20 (at the latest from the factory). I contact ACD on 12/11/20 to find out the status of my order because they never sent me an update and they said Quincy was the holdup in shipment. I waited till 12/14/20 and still no update. I contacted ACD and they had no information. I asked to talk with a supervisor and supervisor was in a meeting. They would call me back that day. No callback. Called Quincy, the manufacturer, they said they have not received a purchase order from PED since 11/25/20! I called 12/15/20 and asked to speak with a supervisor. Nope, supervisor was in a meeting. Asked for a callback. No callback. These people are scammers. Stay away!

If I could do a -10 I would. I ordered a unit November 22, 2020. I didn’t receive the unit tell December 9th. Not there problem due to COVID. But I then received my order on December 9th with the out side unit completely banged up. Called them as soon as I got the shipment, informed them it was messed up. Paid a repair guy to show up to see if he could make it work, he tells me that he would have to hook it up to see, Ecomfort tells me I can’t hook it up and that the only option is they come back and pick up the unit and send me another one as soon as they get confirmation that the unit is pick up, the earliest they could pick it up on December 11, 2020. So if we would atleast wait 2-3 weeks for the new unit and pray nothing happens to the new unit. So I am then out of heat for atleast another month in the middle of winter. So I called to see what my options are because unfortunately I couldn’t try to run any more baseboard heaters due to the fact that my electric bill for the month of November was well over 400 dollars due to the fact that I have a 6 month old child that needs the house to be atleast 60 degrees and some nights much colder. So I asked them what can we do, they gave me the option I just explained, they gave me the option to keep the unit and they would give me 75 dollars for a 2000 dollar unit and take the risk. I have never in my life wrote a review much less delt with a company so horrible in my life. I have been a general contractor for 4 years, overseen hundreds of projects and never felt the need to write a review on a company. I am taking time out of my day to make this review so you all don’t make the same mistake I have made. Sorry for the long post and I hope you choose to work with another company, and don’t make the mistake I made.

Never in my life have I tried to buy stuff from such an idiot company. I ordered a natural gas tank-less water heater online. No email, response or other communication. I figured, since the charge was pending on our credit card, all was well and we'd get our heater. Little did I know this place is run by melon heads. Suddenly, the pending charge on the credit card just disappeared as if to say: "We're here to help! Here's you're money back. We here at PED don't think you need hot water anyhow". Finally broke down and called. Requested an automated call back. Never happened. Their phone system must be attached to the non-sending email server. On hold for over an hour listening to this Home Depot knockoff music. Did they ship my item? Why did the charge go away? Did I even order from this company? Am in floating around in another dimension? Seriously. Worst customer service in the universe.

Ordered a Cub Cadet SC700E Lawn Mower on 3/27/2000. Salesperson on the other end of the line was polite, helpful and informational in our discussion about 11:00 a.m. on a day when he was working from home during the Covid-19 Pandemic. After ordering he informed me that the mower would be shipped on Monday, 3/31 and that I would likely receive it by 4/3/2020. I'll admit that I was a little concerned after reading several negative reviews about the company so I checked the BBB Website where I saw they had an A+ rating. I then went to ZoomInfo and found that the 100 employee company did 19 Million in revenue last year. Knowing that you can't please all the people all the time I decided to give them a try (plus they offered free shipping). Result = 5 Star Rating. Rather than shipping on 3/31 the mower arrived via UPS to my front door at 2:50 PM on 3/31. Mower was well packaged & in good condition. Everything needed was in the box and I rolled out the full contents on my garage floor at 3:00 PM. Followed the instructions, had it all assembled by 4:30, started her up, cut @ 3/4 of an acre and started writing this review about 5:45. Excellent company, excellent product (shipped free to my front door VS. ordering from one of the local equipment companies where product would have shipped to their store at a cost between $50 - $110 and required me to pick it up), shipped and delivered ahead of time and arrived in great condition. Excellent experience! Eric J Perrell, Eighty-Four, PA

They will walk you through anything and their experts have been around the small equipment industry. Dale, the engine expert was a Briggs tech for 20 years. I bought a bunch of home improvement products for my home. I love my new ecobee 4, an indestructible water hose, a pressure washer, and a portable generator. All going strong! If you take care of your equipment, it'll take care of you.
