My experience was fantastic!
April 26, 2024

Boat.net's performance was excellent. Their quick and accurate shipping exceeded my expectations and allowed me to finish my maintenance project ahead of schedule. And while I did have to pay for shipping, it was at a reasonable cost. Nice!

Old motor but parts were in stock!
April 26, 2024

I have a 17 year old Yamaha 2 stroke. The online help person was able to send me links to exploded parts drawings of my motor with part numbers, descriptions, availability, pricing and links for ordering. A very easy site to navigate.

Slow delivery
April 26, 2024

I have used boats.net for years. In the last year the delivery has gotten much slower. Even when I pay for expedited service it took a week for what used to be overnight.

Honda 100 OB maintenance
April 26, 2024

Parts support staff confirmed all the parts I had in my cart for proper fitment with motor serial number. This gave me the added insurance that my maintenance for upcoming fishing season will be a safe one on the water.

Over priced
April 25, 2024

I found the same parts much cheaper and free shipping! I looked for a upper housing, found it for $30 less and free shipping!

Needed a thermostat and thought I'd give boats.net a chance. Paid for 2 day shipping. Didn't receive the part until almost a week later. Ended up missing out on a fishing trip because of the delay.

Thank you for your feed back. I have reviewed your order and it looks like you paid for expedited shipping which is typically 1 to 3 days for delivery. I see that the order doesn't fall within that timeframe and do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We have refunded the shipping back to the original payment method. We hope to do business with you in the future.

Not what I was told

Good afternoon Carl,
Thank you so much for reaching out to us. I see a carburetor repair kit is on the original order placed online, however jets do not normally come in these kits. I see a separate order was placed for the needed jets on the 18th, one had to be ordered in so they shipped out on 04/23 with tracking number 92748999916797553038370558. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact us. We appreciate your business and hope you have a great day!

Owner
April 25, 2024

Next day air has been breaking down. UPS is struggling. Some out of stock on common service items. I'm having to delete them from my Boats.net order and pick them up locally from dealerships that have a health in stock status. My purchase price could be better. I've noticed on some high demand expensive items have no cost break. But overall, you guys have been great. I typically use option #2 when I call due to the sales department has been a bit uninformed.

Excellent service
April 25, 2024

Exactly what I needed in stock and ready to ship. I went to the local parts dealer and they did not have a head gasket for my Yamaha. In my opinion a common item. They said we have to order it and it will take a week.

Intake gasket
April 24, 2024

The shipping was messed up and then when I opened the package the gasket had been folded to fit in the box. You don't fold gaskets. That's what causes leaks.

PayPal pay in 4 does not work
April 24, 2024

My last two purchases did not charge as PayPal pay in 4 like I selected at checkout. I even set it up on PayPal, but upon checkout, the full amount drafted. I contacted PayPal, and PayPal indicated this was the fault of the merchant. Please fix this issue

Thank you so much for reaching out to us. I apologize for any confusion, the pay in four installments is with the PayPal merchant. Boats.net does not offer the after pay system, that is only through PayPal, they would need to be contacted to have this rectified. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact us. We appreciate your business and hope you have a great day!
