Called Harvard Marine to see if they had a part for my Merc Outboard in stock. He put me on a brief hold and checked the stockyard and confirmed he had it. He then helped ensure I would get the part before the weekend so I could enjoy what remains of MN boating season. I would happily use Harvard Marine again!

Ordered a product from them on Amazon. They sent the wrong product and I’ve been trying to get the right item and return the wrong item for over one month. Zero customer service. Finally called and got a rude person on the phone who said he couldn’t help me, to leave a message via Amazon and I would hear back the same day. That was the sixth message with no response. Wish I had read these reviews first😡

DO NOT BUT FROM THIS BUSINESS! Be careful when ordering on Amazon. If is says Harvard Marine, RUN AWAY!!! Called to inquire about an order and upon answering the phone I was greeted with an attitude. I am canceling order and will give my $ to someone else. The crazy thing about it, they are a local business in Long Island and i LOVE to support local businesses. NOT THIS ONE!!!

I would never use company again. I placed an order through Amazon never received it. Never made it to my door. I have video cameras and never had any delivery the day they said I received it. Then when I email them the told me to file a police report. How can you file a police report when it never was delivered. This company is rude and they dont care about their customers. SHAME ON THEM

Be careful when ordering an item from them on Amazon. I ordered a 10 pack of 12 volt bulbs. They were shipped in 5 see through boxes inside a cardboard box then in a bubble wrap envelope. However the was no cushioning between the bulbs and they rattled. I ordered another set from a different company and not only were they cushioned they were half the price of Harvard marine.

Bought one of their listed items on amazon. Was suppose to be a quick release strap, an they send a ratchet strap. Called the number that the straps came with an told me I need to look at the model number. When in all actuality they put up the wrong picture for the selling item. Would definitely not reccomend an also left the same review on amazon. I had also contacted customer service which was no help at all. Here is a comparison of pictures of what was advertised an what I recieved. Poor service an not customer friendly, STAY AWAY from this company.

I ordered 32oz quicksilver chemicals on Amazon from them on Jan 3. Today is March 2nd. I cannot request a refund from amazon as the order has not been shipped. I msgd them through amazon and was told all items are on back order from mercury.1. How are you selling a product you don’t have?2. Why do I have to contact you to tell me you don’t have it.I asked for smaller sized bottle to fulfill the order since I can’t seem to cancel through amazon.

Mike was extremely helpful when I called the shop he dropped what he was doing and searched for a part that was ridiculously hard to find. When I missed him on the phone due to my time difference he reached out to me on his cell phone so I would be able to speak to him as needed, he got my item out fast and efficiently! Great guy and great service I’ll be coming back for sure.

I have been dealing with this Company for years. They are not only very helpful with answering all my questions but they make sure I always order the correct item. They ship quickly, even with COVID-19, and never have I had to worry if I was getting my products. Wish more Companies should be like this.

I called the store, not thinking about the time difference between them and Missouri. The owner answered the phone, and stated he was working late, and it was 10 pm there. He asked what I was needing, and I told him the part that I was looking at on Amazon, and he looked it up in his inventory, took my payment over the phone, and shipped it to the repair shop where Im having the work done at. He went above and beyond, and was more than helpful in helping me resolve my situation. I dont give 5 star ratings, because the only perfect person was Jesus Christ himself. This gentleman represented the effort we all should put forth when we deal with each other. If all business owners were as helpful, the world would be better off...for sure. Thanks again, and have a blessed evening.

DO NOT ORDER FROM HARVARD MARINE!!! I ordered parts via Ebay from this company. The parts did not fit and they told me to send them back. After getting only the answering machine with a COVID message and no return calls three months had gone past. When I finally got the older man on the phone he claimed it had been too long to find the information and said all refunds had been processed, he then hung up on me and would not take my return calls. Very poor customer service and they kept the parts and my $85 dollars plus return shipping costs. DO NOT ORDER FROM HARVARD MARINE!!!

Do not do business with this company. The other bad reviews are accurate. You order an item from amazon through them and they ship a cheaper product. Product I received was not the item that was listed. They also just ignore e-mails. Very unethical.

Ordered a 6 pack of spark plugs instead of stopping by a local store. I even chose a higher priced seller on amazon thinking there would be no problems... received 5 plugs... sent an email stating the shortage, and was told i was sent 6. No s@#t!! Why would i need to send an email stating a shortage if i received all 6? I wish i had read these reviews before i ordered... i could have either went to a retail store or chose a cheaper seller on amazon. Now i have a fresh rebuild v6 with 5 plugs, and will have to go to a marine shop anyway. Amazon, drop this seller. Harvard marine, eat s#$t and die. 5 frugging spark plugs for a v6, you guys suck azz.

All the negative responses are dead on, when I called he did not even ask my name, just to tell me to be patient and it will come, 19 days later nothing. No response on emails or nothing. Avoid this place

Worst customer service. Could have saved my day. Bought a fuel water separator from them. Ended up needing it in the biggest bass tournament I ever fished. Once I opened the box, realized they sent me the wrong filter. Then they would not return the incorrect item they sent me! Ill let my boat sink before I ever gave them another dollar

Bought item off Amazon from Harvard Marine, 1st, they took my money without shipping the item, after waiting 2 weeks past arrival date, kept emailing company, no response, I requested a refund after a month late, they would only issue a Refund when I shipped the item Back to them, Stay Away. They take your money and run dont ship nothing to you. Reporting to BBB.

Shockingly rude over-the-phone.I placed an online order.3-minutes later, I realized it was incorrect.I emailed customer service to please “cancel the order”.I then called to verbally confirm the cancellation, before they shipped the product.The man who answered was unbelievably abrasive. He began scolding me immediately to just “send the email”.I did get a confirmation email that they received my request and no further action was required. Great - problem solved, right?3-hours later...I get a shipping notice, from Harvard Marine. I called and again, spoke to the same unpleasant man who declared, “Look PAL - I got 3,000 boxes a day goin’ outta here...blah - blah, you can imagine the rest at this point. He was literally shouting at me.Terrible service. Never conduct business with Harvard Marine.

HARVARD MARINE Does Not Stand Behind Their Products! Buyer Beware!I purchase a water pressure regulator from Harvard Marine which failed two weeks after the installation. The unit developed a fracture and was filling my boat with water.I contact Harvard Marine to return this item and they told me it’s now a warranty claim with Jabsco. What a joke! I was sold a defective product and now I need to go to the vendor and pay shipping costs to get the item replaced?!?!Harvard Marine follows the Amazon Returns policy which is 30 days. I am within the window, but they still chose to not accept the return. They are obviously a very small company that I will NEVER do business with again!I like to shop on Amazon because the prices are usually better than the local boating stores, but when companies sell defective items and do not stand behind them, that makes me more opt to stick with my local stores. Local stores will accept any return within 30 days, especially a defective one.

Worst customer service I have dealt with ever! No stars at all, but have to mark at least one to review. Will not do business with him again. We only received half of the order and they would not talk to me on the phone. Just a snotty man that said they were closed but the store hours on the web said they were still open.

I ordered and paid for two of identical items from this vendor but only recieved one. I emailed the vendor Harvard Marine through Amazon several times and recieved no response. Amazon provide their phone number and I texted and called several times. The man answering the phone was unable to talk or hung up the phone. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

Absolutely the rudest person I have dealt with. Ordered an item from this company through Amazon. The item listed did NOT match the item that was received. I emailed and got a snotty response. I then called and was yelled at by the man on the phone. Will avoid doing any further business with them... and will advise any boater to do the same. I would rather pay more money elsewhere than deal with this jerk ever again.

Review №37

Very deceptive company. From their ad to their customer service. Ordered a product clearly described as 1lb on their amazon site. It was 8oz. I complained to no avail. They said 1lb referred to size not weight (!). I decided to return it & HM tried to make me pay return postage. I contacted amazon & they intervened on the postage issue. Then HM contacts me saying I have to pay a restocking fee Never mentioned until Amazon asked them to pay return shipping.Should have read the reviews B4 ordering!

Worst company ever, we orderd an impeller/water pump for an outboard motor and he sent a roll of tape. When he found out about the mistake he sent some electronic part that had nothing to do with pumping water. We have family that traveled to be here and want to spend time with them while we can aso dont buy from this guy if you value time!

Took the time to call me back almost at the end of business hours to focus on getting me what I was looking for. Took the time to print a shipping label for the part to confirm the part would arrive on time so I could go fishing the day after it arrived. Awesome customer service.

They advertised a fan for $36, And fan for $26, charge me the $36 and sent me the $26 fan. Call and The guy was very rude and ignorant and said theres only one fan theres nothing he can do about it. Very terrible company to work with any ended up hanging up on me. Overtalked me, if not let me get a word in edgewise. Started saying there was a restock fee, thank God for Amazon prime.looking at the rest of reviews they are right stay away from this company.

Mike is a crook. He refuses to pay for product he purchased and then sky rocketed the price and resold it. Do not ever by canvas for boats from him. He is does not have the original factory patterns. Letas top shop has the original patterns and that is where he purchased them from and said they were his. He also lies.

Review №48

DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM!!!!!I know that somehow fake reviews get posted on business profiles that seem too bad to be true and its probably some kind of smear review. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. I ordered a product from them through Amazon, they sent the complete wrong product. After refusing to help me because his phone was about to die and they were closing in 5 mins (mind you they werent closing for 45mins) I called back the next day. Upon calling I was lambasted for 5mins about how it was probably my fault and I need to think about things when I order. I hang up, verify that the item that came was not my order, and return the call to see if theres any communication that can persist via telephone. That was when the warhead exploded, I was told things and called things that I refuse to repeat in this review and belittled because I had requested that they pay for the shipping for the wrong item they sent me. Ive dealt with many upset people in my life but never have I been so disrespected in my entire life. The fact that a human being can even muster the hate to speak to another human in that way, let alone a customer; I was paralyzed. Before I could even mutter a word I was hung up on. I know some people overreact about situations and blow things out of proportion, but I am very easy to deal with and rarely raise anything beyond what it should be. I hope nobody ever has to deal with anything like this from anyone. I write this in an attempt to spare others from being victims of the same thing, and hopes that this person will be incapable of dealing with another customer.Also, may the Owner dare contest this review, I challenge you to post nothing but a link to the phone call so everyone can see how you truly are. Dont you dare make the false claim of customer lies. You know the kind of person you are, cease your deception and simply change your ways.

Avoid. I wish I had read the google reviews prior to ordering as the ebay reviews I now realize are likely fabricated. I ordered a 10 oz bottle of Aerospace 303 protectant spray. I received a form in the package that read If you have any issues please contact us... The bottle was half full so I called the number and the guy who answered (says he is the manager) was extremely rude. He yelled at me and hung up the phone. I have never experienced such poor customer service.
