PartsVu Reviews Summary

Incorrect Purchase Date above
April 4, 2022

The purchased date claimed above is incorrect and is NOT February 23,2022.
The correct purchase date for my order# *******438 was September 17,2021.
I waited 6 months for my order.
This review will be shared to Social Media.
I totally understand how parts can be backorderd, nothing much can be done about that.
My issue was the "Purchase Date" on the review form which stated February 23,2022.
That was incorrect. The original purchase date was September 17,2021.
I received the my order on March 2,2022.
Between Feb 23,2022 and March 2,2022 is only 4 business days.
Between September 17,2022 and March 2,2022 is 93 business days.
The review form only recognized the 4 days and not the 93.
That was the issue. Not the part being back orderd
Please see the attached screenshot of the order form.
Thank you

Hello Nathan,

Thank you for your purchase and for your review. Your feedback is important to us. I do sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and delays. I see that you placed your order on August 19th at 5:55pm (afterhours). An email was sent to you the following morning advising that the part was on backorder with an eta of 09/17/2022. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do in regards to backorders. Currently, the entire nation is struggling with crippling supply chain issues. We are no exception to the matter. When items are back-ordered all we can do is send a backorder email.

The backorder email is given for 2 reasons. 1, to let the customer know of the estimated time of arrival. 2nd, to give the customer the opportunity to cancel should they not want to wait. In this case, you decided to leave your order open. You did receive quite a few push-back emails advising you of the pushback by Yamaha and also containing a new eta. Since you did not cancel the order the only thing we could do was to monitor your order and advise on the estimated dates given to us by Yamaha. At the end of February, your items did finally arrive to our warehouse. They were shipped to you and tracking shows they were delivered on March 2nd. We do again apologize for the inconvenience and delays. Thank you for your review.

Kind regards,
Jessica

Excellent. Fast. Unfortunately the cover that arrived was for an F350, not the F300 I thought I ordered so it's a little big, and doesn't quite match my other 2 covers. Nonetheless, I needed it and am using it. Otherwise the service was great as usual.

Hello Maribeth,

Thank you for your purchase and for your review. We appreciate and welcome your feedback. In this case, I just want to advise, we have a very strict no return policy on motors, that being said our team made an exception for you to be able to return that even though that is not our policy. The supervisor did explain to you on the phone that we would need to do some digging and get you a correct price for the refund and deregister your motor before having you take the step of shipping this back at your cost. I assure you our team is still working on this, we were closed over the weekend as our team works Monday-Friday 8am -5pm. I ask that you give us time to research and do our due diligence as again, we are making an exception for you and we are trying to get this done correctly and at the least cost to you.

Kind regards,
Jessica
