If you had a minus 10 start I would have rated these bums. From my first purchase I have been lied to first I was told my purchase would ship in 5 days from my purchase. When it did not arrive I called as was directed to the fine print portion of the terms of agreement. I was told that day and 2 more time that a tracking number would be sent to me in 7 to 9 business days. Guess what today is day 9 and the story has changed now a tracking number will be sent in 7 to 11 days which I'm sure is another lie. Safer wholesale is the biggest bunch of scamers and liars I have ever dealt with. I have filed a complaint with the Post Office and I encourage anyone else who has problems with this company to do so also. Even if the Post Office does not find in my favor the investigation for Safer Wholesale will be costly and the more complaints filed the more likely the Post Office will shut them down.
A real scam. If I was not a deligent persistant person I would never have recieved what I ordered. They sold me a sauna that was on price including shipping and tax. Then after charging my account they called and said they could not ship it tp me because they would lose money? Not kidding. I said refund my money and they told me I would have to go to customer service. Then they called me and tried to negociate a delivery charge. I called the department of State got the Illinois Consumer affarirs made a formal complaint and called back with my complaint number and they lowered the delivery fee if I would recind my complaint?
They are complete ripp-offs and are in Joliet Ill. I can only hope that the department of consumer affairs follow up.
John,
None of our prices listed in Red as the current sales price include shipping. We do custom rate quotes based on the size of the product and the distance the freight must travel. We pay all of our freight carriers and that cost is reflected on the purchase price of the transaction. Sometimes very large shipments require additional fees. Our salesman would not know exactly what the cost of freight is and that is why someone else called you to inform you the actual cost of shipping. I am glad you were able to negotiate a cheaper price, but I assure you the sales price never includes the cost of shipping.
Thanks,
Artie
I purchased a Facial steamer with Magnifying Lamp on April 2012 after several weeks they send me a Magnifying lamp and told me that's what you ordered, after several e-mails and proof that this is wrong item, I found out they do not have my item any more in warehouse and they are not willing to give me my money back eventhough that I returned the item back to warehouse and paid the shipping from my pocket too. This company realy is a highway rubbery.
Frank,
We were not able to refund you directly as you put in a dispute for payment with your credit card company on the day that you shipped it back without notifying us. We had previously informed you that we would work with you to get a suitable product and then you informed us you had disputed the charges. Unfortunately, once a dispute has been initiated the credit card company informs us directly NOT to process a refund as the amounts may come out as double.
Thanks,

Does anyone know the dealer number for saferwholesale / greater sports inc.? I have a scooter from them and cannot register it because no dealer number on certificate of origin. The company wants me to mail it back to them. I have seen nothing but bad reviews from them and DO NOT want to mail them my certificate of origin and chance never getting it back. With no certificate of origin the bike is useless. But cannot do anything with certificate without dealer number! This had been a real eye opener! Thanks for any help you can provide!
Certificate of Origin's are handled one of two ways depending upon the manufacturer. Both are industry standard for the customer's protection. The first way this could be sent, is inside the unit, but unsigned, in which case you will mail it back in to our offices to be processed, along with a copy of this sales receipt. The other way this could be sent to you is, you will not receive it with the unit, but will request it from our offices, once you have received the unit. The way to request your Certificate is to email us at [email protected] with the VIN number off of your unit. Once you have received the completed Certificate from us, you will then go to your DMV to begin your registration process.
Thanks,

Bought a ATV sniper 250. Got it and it wouldn't start. It has been in the shop for a week now with mechanics trying to figure out what is wrong with. I did notice that the clutch cable was cut off on it when it arrived.
I should have checked the company out. They have a BBB rating of "F"
Larry,
I do apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced with the ATV you received from our company. Our products are shipped to you in a crate and do require some set up. If you have any damages incurred in shipping we do insure our products and can get you any replacement parts you may need. I see here you were having troubles with your Clutch Cable being damaged. I truly hope you were able to get all of your issues resolved.
Thanks,

Different peo said different things about the scooters. One said yes, another said they
Didn't have it. They also said X number of these are california approved. Not what other
Co. Said who sold same vehicles... i put off deciding on getting one, and i found this site by accident! Boy did i get lucky! I knew these are all made in china but i thought i heard things are improving as far as their products... wow... this site saved me around $ 2,500!
Called on phone to order a Trace 3024e inverter. Craig/salesperson said no problem and took the order. Within 2 hours I visit the web page and determine they do not, sell Trace products. Twice I am on hold for over 10 minutes each time and I give up and email my cancellation of the order. I get a call the next day from "sales manager" who is rude and very aggressive. I explain the problem and he tells me I will have to pay 30%. I explain his company did not sale what I ordered and I would not pay and had called visa and backed up the charges. He kept asking if I had visited the web site and I explained the order was by phone 4 times. Finally he agreed to refund 100%. As I think back over this there must be some hook that if you visit the web site they get 30%.
Why would any business treat a customer this way. They will be in chapter 7 soon.
RC,
I do apologize, but due to the fact that we ship products directly from the manufacturer's distribution facility, once an order is placed they charge us a restocking fee. Due to the fact we have such small profit margins this restocking fee is reflected on our cancellation policy. If we can get the manufacturer to waive the restocking fee for us we will reciprocate this and waive the fee for you. I am happy you were able to get a 100% refund.
Thanks,
Artie
Possibly the worst customer service ever. Everything they said was total bull, right from the get go. I would NEVER purchase from them again.
Ron,
I do apologize you feel you did not receive the customer service you deserved. We experience very large customer volume and it can be difficult to cater to each customer's needs specifically. We do our best to help out every customer. I truly hope you were able to have your issues resolved.
Thanks,

Upon calling for customer service I was told thaty I could only contact them thru email and have yet to get a response. I rate this company as a -1, they even have a reveiw site on their invoice and all of the reviews are from inhouse personel, thats called false advertising!
I am 49 years old and have been an avid buyer on the internet for 20 years. This is the absolute worst buying experience I have ever had. I foolishly ordered a hot tub from whoever runs this site. I also foolishly gave them an electronic check. Then I received a phone call informing me that there was an $869 shipping charge, which was much different than the $40 charge for residential delivery that was posted on the listing. I said "no way jose". Then they lowered the amount due. Eventually they lowered the amount to zero, but I still said: "Cancel my order". This was 5 minutes after placing it, but the response I got was: "You must submit your request in writing. This is a custom hot tub, blahh, blahh, blahh". I submitted my request in writing, but low and behold, they charged the full amount against my bank account the next day. The electronic debit that they submitted did not use the check number I gave them and they changed the collection name. Therefore they got by both: (1) my effort to stop the check and (2) the fact that I had drained the account. For some reason, my bank clears electronic debits regardless of available funds- even though it does not clear checks. So now, I am investigating the legality of their actions. If you look this company up at the Better Business Bureau you will see that they get an "F" rating. They have never resolved a complaint. The company does business under many identities. So you don't know exactly what name will appear on your bank card or e-check. Assuming that I don't get my money back, I assume I will receive something that loosely resembles an 8 person hot tub. But god forbid anything is wrong with it (a condition I consider likely) because Safer Wholesale's policy is that they are not responsible for "any defect". According to their policy, if you sign for delivery, than any defect is yours. So when my hot tub comes in a box, I can either: (a) accept whatever junk is in it or (b) try to get the freight guy to wait 7 hours while I take the hot tub out of the box, inspect it thoroughly, fill it with water and see if it actually works. I doubt that he will accommodate my request. If it doesn't work, SaferWholesale.com will say: "but you signed".
Kurt,
Not only did they lower the shipping price substantially they actually waived the delivery cost completely. Your product was delivered to you shortly after the purchase via yrc.com # 371-969308-1. There has been no further communication between our company and this customer. Therefore, we assume that all issues were resolved amicably.
Thanks,
Artie
Once you place an order you cannot cancel, and their customer service is rude and disrespectful.

Absolutely the worst company I have ever dealt with. I placed an order a month ago and it still hasn't shipped despite numerous phone calls during which I was placed on hold for very long periods of time. Nobody there seems to know what is going on there. Do not use this company - it is not worth the extreme frustration just to save a few dollars!
Theyl promised to refund my money of only 200.00 Lay away fee, they say it went against policy but i see no policy rules, after my mom passed but never got it filed a complaint with BBb but nothing happened, they also seem to false advertise the product, the mojo is pictured but I notice the trike is different else were,, and very high priced. They charge shipping when other offer free and the final

I purchased a tiger 300 cc trike lase summer (2011) and from day one it was a piece of CHINA junk or worse. They try to copy Japan and failed. Customer service sucks, Matt may as well go to china for he is usless as a human beign in the USA. I have spent around $800.00 fixing this pices of junk and cannot get the $150.00 out of them as Matt promised. What is great is I work at Lowe's and park the trike in front of the entrance doors. It is a great looking trike and hundreds of customers want to know where I purchased it so I give then the name of Saferwholesale's competitors. Do not purchase anything from these thieves.
I ordered and received an LG Super AB Toner chair with bicycle attachemnt. The chair is ok but the bicycle attachment was broken. I immediately called saferwholesale and they said they would send a new attachment out. I never received it and calle again and spoke with Kyle. He said he would send one out to me.
I waitted another two weeks and called again and spoke with Matt explaining that I had not received the bicycle attachment. He asked if I had sent a picture of the damaged product. I explained that Kyle did not request a picture.
Matt put me on hold about seven minutes. When he returned he said he tried calling the manufacturer but the guy he needed to talk to was out to lunch. He said the guy would call him back and then he would call me back. This really sounds similar to all the other reviews I have read. I'll wait another 2 weeks and see what happens. I consider myself lucky as this was only a $10.00 attachment.
Bought a 27-ton log splitter for 1499. 00 with free shipping, if shipped to a business with forklift or loading docks. Money was immediately removed from my account, by electronic check, which was to give me an addition $50.00 off. Representative called and and total bill was for $1854. 00 with some story about transit fees via Los Angeles. After approximately 3 weeks and no delivery I contacted customer service and was told that the log splitter that I purchased was not in stock and that they were going to replace it with a 42-ton log splitter of equal quality. Again after two weeks and no delivery, I contacted them again and told them I wanted to cancel the order. I was told that it would be impossible to cancel the order because it was in the final stages of processing.
Now for the nightmare. When the log splitter arrives, I knew right away that it was a piece of crap. As I put it together from a diagram enclosed done of the figures matched the log splitter that I received. In addition there as absolutely no way to identify the maker of the log splitter or engine. Everything was painted black. After finally getting put together by looking at pictures of log splitter on line it was time to put it to use. Within 5 hours the whole thing began to buckle and twist. Parts started breaking off within 5 1/2 hours of use. The whole thing is absolutely useless and can not be fixed with replacement parts. Th I-beam is bent and twisted. The wedge completely fell apart and broke off of the compression rod.
Contacted customer service and was told I could not return it or get a refund because the order had been processed over 30 days ago. When I asked about the 2 year extended warranty I was told to send pictures and all defective parts would be replaced. When I told them the extent of the damage and that replacement parts meant sending a whole knew log splitter built of the correct gauge of tempered steel, I was told that the manufacturer would be contacted to see what could be done. Have not heard back and it has been over two week.
Have a feeling it was a very expensive lesson. Should have looked at reviews before I ever purchased the thing. I am in the process of filing a compliant with the BBB and looking at all avenues to help shut down this company. How a company like this can stay is business is beyond belief.
I purchased a Tankless Water Heater from this company. It exploded two weeks ago. I had the guy who installed look at it but he didn't know what was wrong with it (another jack ***). BTW I never received an invoice, packing slip, or any other type of paperwork for this item except for a poorly written instruction book from the manufacturer (will address them later).
I called the company and they took all of my information. They said that someone from the company would call me. That never happened. I tried to call the manufacturer but all you get is a recording of their customer service hours (from 8am-2pm?).
I called these jokers again today and they said they would call me back at the end of the day with more information. Yeah. Right. Would you like me to start holding my breath now?
Also, the manufacturer of the product, USA Tankless Water Heater, Inc. of Miami, FL is also a SCAM. Their corporate status is INACTIVE according to the FL Dept of State.
CAVEAT EMPTOR... DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE COMPANIES!
Paid 1,500.00 for a scooter. Never got it. A very expensive lesson learned. Should have checked this web site befor buying. Found the web site on ebay, thought it would be safe, wrong. I intend to pay them a visit personaly very soon. They should call themselves UnsafeWholesale. Com.
Ahhh... sounds like it's just like https://www.eglobalwireless.com/
Everyone should report to BBB. I looked up 'reviews' first so thanks to you all for posting and helping.
Very similar problem here. They charged me $650 right when I placed my order, and no delivery date was promised. That was 5 1/2 weeks ago. I called them, and at first was impressed by the speed by which they answer. But after 3 calls, they refuse (no exaggeration, flat-out refuse) to give me any information about when I can expect delivery. I asked to cancel my order, and they gave their stupid 'that's not possible, all sales are final' BS. Excuse me, how can all sales be final if you haven't even shipped anything? Thank God for credit card charge backs! I told them I'd have to contact my credit card company, before the 60-day limit, and that the only time I'd ever had to do a credit card charge back in the past was when I bought a DVD from an overseas company which never arrived, and it turned out that company was a Canadian organized crime syndicate!
Answer: I am still out $1200 and it has been over a year since I ordered my Facial table for my business. Everytime I call and try to get an answer I get disconnected or people including the managers there are rude and make promises that I will eventually get my refund and to give it up to 90 days. Well it has been well over that and I still don't have my refund or the item that I ordered. BEWARE! THEY ARE SCAM ARTISTS! I believe in Karma and one day they willl get theirs. So sad that people in this world can take advantage of our hard earned money. I am disgusted of how cruel they are.
