      On Dec 18 2023, a boat part was ordered and PartsVu sent the wrong part. It did not match the part to replaced and did not fit the motor. The part came in a bent, unsealed cardboard box within the shipping box. PartsVu said it was not refundable as it was electronic and the box was opened. Once again, the box was never sealed. Zero customer service!

      ******************

      Good morning, my name is ******************* and I am the ** of Operations for PartsVu. I would like to apologize for the customer service experience you had with our company. It is bad enough when we ship the wrong part, but even more frustrating when we compound the issue with poor service. I appreciate you making us aware of this issue, the team members involved are great people and just fell short of our standard on this occasion. We have taken the opportunity to use this as educational example of what not to do. 

      We sincerely appreciate your patronage over the years and hope we will have the opportunity to ship you items again in the future. If there is anything I can do for you directly in the future please ask for me when you call or you can email me at ***********************************.

      Sincerely,

      *******************

      **************

      I would like to extend my apologies for the way your order was handled back in September. There is a laundry list of reasons why this was not handled better, but that is not pertinent to your issue. As the new VP of Operations, I want to assure you that we take this seriously and that the team members involved have been trained ** in their deficiencies. 

      Should you decide you would like to return the propeller, we will certainly issue you a refund. I will make a note on your account to that effect.

      The most difficult and expensive part of our business is acquiring new clients and cultivating repeat clients. The fact that we failed you is extremely disappointing. While perfection is unattainable, I can assure you we will learn from this instance. I would welcome the opportunity to earn back your trust in the future. Please feel welcome to ask for me directly or ********************* who is our warehouse manager. 

      Sincerely,

      **********************

      I called and got reference help for parts. I went to the website ordered the part numbers where it says they have a 30 day return policy. I got the parts they came in a cardboard box. I open the box immediately saw that they were the wrong parts contacted them And they asked me to send them a picture of the unopened ********* obviously I open the box to see the parts in it and now they wont refund my money because I opened a cardboard box. I spent $117 with tax and I just want the right parts , but theyre refusing to refund me. I dont know anyone can see whats in a cardboard box until they open it.

      On 7/17/23 I ordered a new carbonator from PartsVu , ******, *******, order # ********** , for my boat, for $846.43. It arrived in approx. 2 weeks. It was not a perfect match so I called them for info to return it. I was asked to send pictures, and I did , and after they reviewed my pictures I I was told I could send it back for a full refund. The item was never installed, barely touched by human hands and shipped back in original boxes and original packing material as instructed. Today, 8/10/23 , I received an email from PartsVu that my return was subject to a 20% restocking fee , noted as "adjustment fee" on the email of *******. The state "not being in, or containing the original packaging ... " There is no specific explanation of why they are stealing ****** from me. There is no restocking fee mentioned on their web site. They are sending me a partial refund , short ******. They are stealing ****** from me.

      My name is ******************* and I am the ** of Operations for PartsVu. I would like to extend my apologies for the manner in which your return was handled. The team members involved have been educated on where they missed the **** on this. We would like to refund the $181.28 that was withheld as a "re-stocking fee." 

      If you would please call us back at ************ and follow the prompts (order #**********). Please ask to speak with *********************** as I will ensure she has the information on your account. If for some reason, she is not available there will be notes in your customer service file, so once your information is confirmed any of the agents will be able to complete the refund.

      While we strive for perfection in our customer experience, we are certainly not without fault. Myself and the team would welcome the opportunity to serve you again in the future with your boating needs. 

      Sincerely,

      **********************

      Proceed at your own risk with anything urgent, out of their stock, or expensive. I ordered a $1000+ cylinder head for a down boat. After ~1.5 weeks it hadn't shipped so I started calling asking for updates 7-8 times over the course of another ~2 weeks, waiting on hold for long periods, being told various things from various people such as tracking errors, ******* didn't ship to them, being placed on "emergency status" etc. I was told multiple times I'd get a call back with updates, and never did. I was told they would have to order another head from Mercury. I then found out mercury shipped to partsvu at the very beginning of all this, and partsvu was the one that lost the part. They then found it at a neighbors warehouse (?) and they shipped to me the following morning. At that same exact time I secured a head elsewhere and it was overnighted from Mercury same day, so now I had two heads in transit. Long story short, things like this happen, I understand. I'm a reasonable guy and was pleasant the whole time. I feel its only fair they cover the return freight, but they refuse. They blame me that I didn't cancel the order while in transit (assumed that wasn't possible), blamed ******* about warehouse issues (but they shipped to them right away...), then blamed their neighbor for being busy and not telling them they received the wrong package. Too many excuses. It's a heavy part and will cost me $150+ to send it back. They did however waive a 20% restocking fee they planned to charge me. Bottom line, be careful with them, especially with anything that's urgent, special order, or expensive. Best to go elsewhere as there are far better companies out there to deal with.

      Purchased a Flywheel for a Force 120 powerhead, and it did not fit my powerhead. I was not worried, because the item listed a 30-day return policy. Flywheel was packaged in a sealed, unmarked plastic bag, and PartsVU is refusing to give me an *** for the return. I have to resort to disputing the charge with my credit card company to get any recourse. Also, I learned that there is a 20% restocking fee, which I would be fine with if they would issue the return. Any reputable company would issue the *** and inspect the item on receipt to make sure it is in new condition.
