These are some shady dealers. When I place an order for a part costing $115 and paid $45.00 extra for overnight shipping, I discovered they don't ship the same day you order so the overnight payment is a shear rip off. They claim they're site makes it perfectly clear that they don't ship same day, but I had to have them direct me to the fine print to find that caveat. Beware of these sharks.
Even when you are finally able to get hold of someone in person, they are rude and less than considerate. I cancelled the order after discovering their not same day overnight policy but they ignored my email and claim to have already sent the item even though I have not received it to date.
When I inquired about this point I was told that they "receive thousands of emails a day and cannot possibly read them all".I think that says it all, right there, don't you.
Avoid these dupers like a plague.

Good Service

Needless to say I was not surprised. I was asked if I stil wanted the tank. I informed the woman on the phone that I did.
I really did not expect any one to have the tank in stock for a generator over 20 years old.
I got the tank in about a week paying standard shipping. I was very pleased with their service & would order from them again.

I am pleased with Pat's

I called them on a Tuesday morning to visit about their complaint record. After roughly 30 minutes of talking about it, I was ready to give them a chance. They confirmed they had the engine on hand and would ship it that day. I did not expect it to arrive until the following Monday because it was being shipped to Texas. Within 2 hours I received a confirmation the engine had shipped. Shortly thereafter, I received an e-mail from Fedex the engine had been picked up. To my surprise, the engine arrived Friday morning. There were no extra fees, no disappointing surprises whatsoever.
I am not affiliated with Pat's in any way. I am a pleased customer. I promised them that if they treated me fairly and did what they said they would do, I would commend them on this report. I can assure you that I will use Pat's again because I got exactly what I wanted, at the advertised price, when I wanted it.
Every story has two sides and talking to them in person paid off for both of us. The lowest price on my purchase adds to my bottom line, and a successful sale and pleased customer has added to Pat's bottom line.
I say Thank You, Pat's Small Engine and I will be a returning customer.

I am positive I have been rebuilding engines for longer than this idiot has been alive. Should have paid the extra cost it would have taken to get it directly from Briggs and Straton

I Trusted Pat's and Their Good Service Went Beyond My Expectations

I'm pleased to say that after placing the order it arrived in two days, and I neither requested nor paid for quick shipping. The items arrived in good shape and were as descibed on the web site.
After my experience with Pat's, I felt obligated to let potential Pat's customers know that Pat's is A-Okay. It is possible that the consumer who filed this rip-off report has distorted the facts of his experience and is possibly wrongfully attacking a respectable company. We've all met jerks in our lives, and the consumer who filed this report is likely one of those types.... not matter what you do, you can't please them.
It is valuable to pass on negative experiences from companies that don't serve us well, but it just isn't right to attack a company that is doing just fine by it's customers.
Thanks Pat's, for taking care of me and my order. I'll use you in the future if you've got what I need and the price is competitive.

Pat's Small Engine Plus is inaccurate (so what's new) with their rebuttal
AUTHOR: Albert - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, April 19, 2007
Now let me summarize how PAT'S SMALL ENGINE PLUS (OR MINUS IN MY BOOK) conducted themselves through this transaction. I placed the order for $115.00 at 11:34 AM on the 17th of April and paid an additional $45.00 for overnight shipping. The item finally arrived on the 19th at 6:30 PM. AND WHEN IT ARRIVED IT WAS FROM ANOTHER COMPANY IN ANOTHER CITY. So in fact the product that PAT'S SMALL ENGINE PLUS sold me with overnight shipping is one they didn't even have on hand to ship out that day or the next or any day after that.
IN OTHER WORDS STEER CLEAR OF PAT'S SMALL ENGINE PLUS SO YOU WON'T ENCOUNTER THE BAUBLE-HEADED TREATMENT I RECEIVED. THESE FOLKS WOULDN'T KNOW THE TRUTH IF IT JUMPED OUT AND BIT THEM IN THE...
BE GOOD TO YOURSELF AND AVOID THEM. YOU CAN GET THE SAME STUFF FROM WWW.STENS.COM. THAT'S WHERE THEY GOT IT SENT TO ME FROM (DROPSHIPPED).
SO WHO IS SCAMMING WHO!!!????
I SURE DIDN'T GO OUT OF MY WAY TO FILE THIS REPORT FOR MY HEALTH. AND I SURE HAD OTHER THINGS ON MY MIND THAN TO BADGER THE EMPLOYEES OF PAT'S SMALL ENGINE PLUS AND MINUS. THAT'S WHY I ORDERED OVERNIGHT. NOT TO BE HASSLED BUT TO GET THE JOB DONE ON TIME.
AFTER THESE FOLKS RIPPED ME OFF FOR THE $45.00 SHIPPING THEY REFUSED TO ALLOW ME TO CANCEL THE ORDER EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD NOT HAD THE ORDER SHIPPED BY STENS, NOR WOULD THEY ISSUE ME A PARTIAL REFUND FOR THE AMOUNT I WAS OVER-CHARGED FOR SHIPPING. THE AMOUNT WAS NEARLY HALF AS MUCH AGAIN AS THE PRICE OF THE ITEM THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO SHIP OVERNIGHT.
LET THEM WITH THE GIFT OF DISCERNMENT SEE WHO RIPPED WHO OFF.
It clearly states on our Web site in (PSEP.BIZ) plain view that most orders are shipped same day if they are placed before 12:00 CST, therefore his order shipped the next day April 18th overnight. Mr. ---- didn't place his order in time. Upon Mr. --- negligence he belligerently badgered our employees with smart remarks and rude comments as stated in the complaint.
I have spoke with Alberto trying to explain the situation on who, what, when, were, why and how his order was shipped the way it did. He is insisting that we are sharks and dupers.
After extensive dealing with Mr. --- I told him that we would be happy to refund his money once the part is returned. In doing so we are taking a $45 loss in shipping and now we have to sit on the part. So who is scamming who?
Ken
