This probably goes without saying but anyone who is considering *****.net for parts, think again!

Granted they have some good prices but that's just text!

Long Story Short: They took my order WITHOUT having parts in stock. They kept sending me "updates" 2 or 3 times per day all saying the same thing, that my items were backordered.

Everytime I emailed they would ignore it. When I called, they said the same thing evey time: parts will be in in 2 days.

They then told me once that BRP is out of stock as well as 4 other vendors, that was a lie!

I finally cancelled. They still kept sending me the "updates" and never did cancel until I sent 6 emails in a row and they finally cancelled... then guess what? They charged me anyway days AFTER I said to cancel and not to ship anything.

Oh, and I ordered from BRP and all shipped next day.

I usually search for reviews but it was a small order... afterwards I did search for reviews and there are plenty of bad ones!

ALSO: How in the heck do you order form iboats?? When you do a search it comes up with tables of parts and thats it. Also if you search for EXACT part number you get nothing! For example, I need a flywheel to crank key, part number is 307480... or 0307480 and search result come up with NOTHING! Where do you search for part numbers?!?!

Thanks!

Hey, Intermediate Mariner, since you live in Wichita, have you tried Shady Creek Marine ?? Sometimes you can get parts from them,-OR- at least get an idea where you can get them. They're a good roup of guys. IMO

I removed the company name (website). We have a FIRM no bashing policy here. You can explain a bad experience but not name the offending company.

It keeps us friendly.

Shoot guys I understand the point of no bashing but just trying to help people out. This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. One other thing I didn't mention was I told them early on NOT to split order because I knew they would try it with the backorder items and ship the in-stoock stuff. Guess what, they split it anyway! Also I had cancelled on a Friday and finally rec'd TWO confirmations of cancellations on Tuesday. They charged my card for the full amount on Thursday after they said they shipped SOME items on Wednesday!
