In January 2009, I ordered a snowblower I desperately needed from these people. I paid $679.95. I never received the snowblower, as they claimed the shippment was delayed, then they were different from the one pictured so they had to email everyone a picture to see if they still wanted it. I never got an email from them. In March, I finally told some guy Conner to forget the snowblower and give me my money back. He said sure no problem, I would receive a check within 30-60 business days. Tomorrow is June 1st! And guess what, NO CHECK! I've emailed them too many times to count, and still no response. And when you call the phone number they tell you to email, and then hang up

I'm a single mom, on disability, and I really need my money back.

Can anyone help?

I am in the process of dealing with Safer Wholesale also. Ordered a "scooter" with them in early May. Received a completely different scooter then what I ordered. The engine size being 4 HP vs 6 HP-total problem. The one I ordered went up to 45 mph, the one delivered 25 mph. The color is baby blue which doesn't even exist on their website. When I saw the scooter after it took my husband over an hour to remove all the packaging (nicks & scratched on scooter) I recognized it right away as I had been shopping around online for sometime. The one that I received was priced $185 cheaper on at least 3 other sites. As this is not what I ordered I am hoping to return it. I have been working with Jay who seems reasonable enough but they are trying to get me to keep the scooter and give me some compensation back and then have me order something else "free". The problem is I don't even really want the scooter they sent. It's not what I ordered and it won't accomplish our needs as the engine is too small to use in our area, I am hoping to come to some mutual agreement. I would prefer to get my money back and move on but now I'm afraid I will never get any money back after reading the comments.

This company should not sell any of their products. The "Go Kart" I purchased was $699 and $40 for shipping on 5/21/2011. My grand total was $739.00. I received a call two days later from Cory telling me there will be an additional $240 shipping charge and to confirm my order. I wanted to cancel my order and would be charged 30 % of the total cost. The company's business practice is unethical and ready to screw you for every buck. I should have bought from another company--saved me the hassell and money. Think twice before buy from safer whole sale--piece of ### company.

I purchased a scooter on [protected] only to find out that the one I purchased they can no longer get so they told me to choose a different one which I did but every one I was interested in was also out of stock. When I finally found one that they had in stock it was defiantly not anything close to what I had originally wanted. I received it 4 days later than their 10-15 shipping days which I was okay with since I had to choose a different one. when I received it it was in a box with a steal frame around it which took 3 hours to remove. Then the hood was scratched by the steal frame. (Not Happy). O so we get it almost put together to never find the directions. a battery and bolts for the mirrors. There are also 2 dents in right fender ( didn't complain about). O so I contact them it takes 2 days for an email response so I barrow a battery from my neighbor who also has a moped simular to mine and now it wont start. Because it is Saturday I have to wait till Monday to get a response from them about it not starting. I have had it a week and still can not use the moped. I am loosing my patience with this company on not seeming to feel that it is important enough to have someone in their office on a Saturday to answer questions and not just to tell you to email customer service which I did again. I am not convinced that this company is bad but they really need some help on the customer service end. Kristy

TERRIBLE COMPANY! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! I placed an order for a moped with this company (Saferwholesale.com) in early 2011 and they failed to tell me that the particular moped ordered WOULD be illegal to operate in my state of California. After trying to cancel my order by emailing, calling, and computer assistance failed, I notified my bank and the BBB. Saferwholesale basically took my money for a bike that I would not be able to use once I received it; moreover, they refused to reimburse my total charges when I tried to cancel the next day. This company has no license to sell any bike or moped in the state of California! This company has been disguising themselves by changing their names and webite once lawsuits and BBB complaints have been filed against them. DO NOT believe their responses on here! They tell you to contact them but when you do, they never answer or reply to your emails or phone calls; and they'll definately give you the run-around! Lastly, my bank is going after saferwholesale for my money!

people, i purchased a moped from safer wholesale, so far, my money is still in their account, thanx for that. idealt with safer whole sale through a debitcard, more chances are, i am ok with buying anything from saferwholesale. sometimes people get panic on making deals with buissnesses, and they just give up easily. by the way, i am dealing with conner, and hopefully everything goes as smooth as motor oil.

When you purchase from safewholesalers, READ the fine print they have buried at there website. They won't let you return nothing. They buy from drop shippers.
When the item is defective, you have to deal with the droppshippers.
I am still stuck with a tankless waterheater that doesn't work.

Tis is to the single mom on disability who got scammed...I am so sorry this has happened to you! This is a late answer to your prob. But hopefully it can help out others as well. may I suggest to u:
CONTACT YOUR CREDIT CARD CO AND TELL THEM ALL-GIV DOCS
they will investagate it and may do a CHARGE REFERSAL...
and or SEND A LETTER TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS IN YOUR STATE. they will ask for doc, proof, story etc...and send the co a letter to respond to them within 7 days ie their side of story and how they plan to resolve issue.
That should help u alot...I know because I had an issue myself with another co ...after 3 mths my cc bank did me a Reffersal charge. They saw how much trouble I was having ...and Consumer affairs is VERY Helpfull as well. all so if need be...ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICE.
forget BBB...in my view not much good at all. Hope this help. from another helpfull USA Citizen :=)
