    Boats.net anyone?

    Anyone ever use this company for parts? I ordered some parts that were in stock according to website then a week or so later I get an email that it is back ordered and ETA is unknown. I emailed them for an explanation/update and no response. Try calling, forget it. No answer. Just wondering if any of BBC members dealt with them in past.

    I've used them in the past, always had parts in stock and shipped fast. But it's been 2 years.

    Before finding Don Weed, I used to order from them. You are experiencing exactly why I went looking elsewhere. Unreliable shipping and delivery times. They are legitimate so you will lose your money but they can be a pain.

    I've always had a good experience with them in the past but I placed an order a couple days ago and got an email the next day saying due to the virus it will be 6 to 8 days before it will ship

    Most companies are slow to ship these days including Amazon. I've used Boats.net, never had a problem with them.

    Over the years I have used them 6 or 8 times for various different things. I have always had positive results.

    I've used them a couple times in the past with no issues. Friend of mine did a full rebuild on a GT150 years ago with parts from them. Hopefully they bounce back on the reliability if they've done down lately but seen lots of once great companies go to pot for one reason or another.

    I've used them in the past with no issues. Shipping times and availability might be a bit slow right now due to everything going on and trying to get back to normal...

    I’ve been waiting 23 days for a water pump, fuel filter and Poppet valve.
    said it would’ve shipped in 5 days and it took 20 days to ship.

    I have bought from them for years and never had issues before.
    But this is just ridiculous.
