The employees at wise sales are very rude and cannot be trusted. They are very nice when making the sale, but are not ready to follow up the promises. I bought 4 generators for my children with the understanding of returning them if not pleased. My total was $7,749.98. I talked with 2 employees that were so rude and told me if I returned 1, which I am keeping 3' they would charge me $468.00. They were too busy to listen to my view of the promises made when I bought them. I will never buy from them again and will share this story all over the web. Unhappy in alabama
I ordered a Honda lawnmower on June 8,2015. My check was negotiated on June 11,2015. I heard nothing for a week, so I called. Backorder they said. After more waiting and several more calls, on one I was told that it was Honda's fault, I cancelled my order. I'm still waiting for the refund. FTC regulations state that once a refund has been requested, a refund must be sent within 7 days. I am now in contact with the Illinois Attorney General's office. I'm sorry I didn't see all of the negative reviews before I sent my order.
I placed my order for the Honda 2000i & 2000i companion on 1-10-2015. My credit card was charged at that time for the full amount. I started calling about the order 3 weeks ago & have been lied to time after time. "No inventory", "my boss told me they will be shipped out today","its on the dock & will be shipped out today or tomorrow". Thats what I was told last friday, 2-13. Today, 2-17, I was told they were expecting the 2000i's to arrive today or tomorrow & my order would be shipped out. I suspect what they are doing is using our money instead of theirs to purchase the merchandise. That saves them a considerable amount of finance charge. Wise, in my opinion, has the worst customer service ever.
Like everyone else, I ordered a Honda 2000 companion set. Instantly charged on my credit card and then the game of "it's on backorder. Be in next week." Weeks turned into two months. Supposedly canceled, but the money hasn't been returned. Losers!
Do not order for this company. The keep telling me they are going to ship then they don't then I cancel order and they promise to refund card and now I am having to go through my credit card to get my money back. $9000 in hole right now.
I placed an order for 15 Honda generators. The price was the lowest by far of any other dealer in the US. I paid my money and the product was shipped. It actually arrived ahead of schedule. The service i received was first class! These guys were great to deal with. I have a funny feeling that many of the negative reviews on this site are phoney. There are probably a lot of other honda dealers jealous of the great business these folks are doing. Today i am ordering another 15 generators

I have made several purchases from Wise Sales, all went very well. Have also received very helpful phone support on a few problems. Prompt attention and shipment on subsequent accessory items too.
I can't say enough good things about this place. I was skeptical because the price was so much lower than other places. I'm glad I didn't see this bad reviews until after I had already received my item, or I might not have purchased it through them. I had absolutely no problems with them. The people on the phone were courteous. The process was quick and efficient. As I mentioned, the price was excellent (10% less than anywhere else I found). The item arrived 2 days after ordering it, and it is exactly what I ordered. New, and in proper packaging. The only negative (and it's a small one) is they charged me $14 for boxing and insurance. They didn't tell me they were going to charge me for that. I consider that a little shady, but that amount was insignificant compared to the cost of the generator I ordered. Overall, I am very happy.
Well I've been researching Zero turn mowers. The Timecutter series got great reviews. Found a GREAT deal with WiseSales. I was reluctant to spend so much over the internet, but the deal was too good to resist. Free shipping, Free tailgate service, 3 year 0% interest? No one locally could match it so I jumped on it! Their phone people were very helpful and the transaction went smoothly. 6 days later the mower arrived at my doorstep. The ABF driver even put it in my garage with his pallet jack! The hardest thing about this whole deal was getting the mower out of the crate! It was in great shape and ran flawlessly. Thank you for a pleasant experience!
I ordered a commercial back-pack blower. The web site said it was in stock. I immediately received an email confirming my order. Within two hours I received another email stating that my unit was in shipping and provided me with a UPS tracking number. Within 24 hours I received another email that my package had been picked up by UPS. That same day, I received an email from UPS confirming their receipt of the package and confirming the original tracking number. My package arrived two business days after my order was placed. Both UPS and Wise sent emails as to when to expect delivery. The blower arrived in good condition. Within 20 minutes I had the blower assembled filled with fuel and running. The unit worked perfectly. This was a no hassle purchase and could not have gone better and the unit price was excellent.
I ordered 2 items, Earth Digger and Auger Bit. One arrived on time but the other turned out to be out of stock although the sales rep. Assured me both were available just before I ordered.
I called the company to give me status on the other item and was told they are still out of stock.
I had scheduled a plan to use this tool but had to cancel.
I felt misled by the sales rep.
I can not recommend WiseSales to other prospective customers.
Was out of power after hurricane Irene and found wisesales on the web. Ordered a Honda Handi *******@1pm ET with overnight shipping (pricey but necessary) and got it the following morning. Wisesales came through beautifully and in the clutch- price was competitive too.
I'd definitely buy from them again (thanks WiseSales).
Wisesales can't be trusted. I ordered a Toro 726 Snow blower for $1,299 on their website on Friday, January 28,2011. I called them the next day to confirm that they had the item in stock and was told it would be shipped on Monday, February 1. On Monday I noticed that their website advertised the same snow blower for $1,599 and claimed it would be ready to ship Tuesday, Feb 2. I called Wisesales again and spoke to a manager and was promised they had them in stock and that mine would most likely ship on February 3 or 4. I called again on February 8 to confirm that it has shipped and was told that it was back ordered and they wouldn't be getting any more in for the season. They asked if I would be interested in buying a different snow blower for $1,699. This is outrageous. They should be shut down for price gouging and illegal business practices.
Yeah... no tax and free shipping... but it's been a week and a half and still not item shipped. Ordered on Sunday, said it would ship next day. Nothing. Again promised on Tuesday it would ship next day. Nothing, Again promised the following Monday it would ship in 2 days... still waiting. Not impressed. You get what you pay for i guess.
Ordered a Honda generator on March 28 and got my confirmation right away. That's where all communication from Wise Sales stopped. A week and a half later I called and was told it would ship early the following week and I would get an email stating it shipped. On April 17th, still no email and no generators on my door step so I called on April 17th. This time I was told it was shipping on April 21 or 22 and that I should've got an email telling about the delay. On April 25 I still haven't heard from them so I called again. This time I was told they were shipping in mid May! I cancelled the order.
To the guy that thinks the bad reviews are from competitors or whatever, consider this. You ordered 15, maybe the folks ordering in bulk Zaire getting prefferential treatment. In the meantime, I'm being told that my money has to be returned from "the county"?
What kind of internet sales company does not indicate and/or notify you that a product is back-ordered?
Waited a week - assuming my order was in order only to find out that my product - a mower - was back-ordered a for an undeterminate amount of time - "probably a few weeks..."
No particularly empathy - no defined due date - no communication on the front end that the prouduct was not in stock. Huge waste of time. Anything but reliable... My suggestion: Be Wise and don't Use Wise.
Buyer beware!
Don't give them your credit card number or debit card number!
You will never see what you ordered or you money back!
Don't believe me then give it a try!
Ordered a Briggs and Stratton ******* Generator after 2 months of research and searching after two separate weeks of no power in CT. The site product photo showed an older version and concerned me, but they said it was the newer model as I wanted, and it was as they said.
Originally ordered it from Drillspot because of the reviews, BUT Drillspot dropped the ball and Wise Sales was the only other supplier I found that had it in stock. They were excellent! Polite, helpful, and did everything they promised. Delivered by FEDEX freight as promised. I declined the "insurance", with no pushback from them. Would definitely buy from them again.
This place came highly recommended by a good friend. I placed an order for a honda generator EU2000i on November 24 for a Christmas gift. My card was charged on November 25. I was told it would ship out the following week. I have called in every week since then, with the same response of "it will get shipped out next week". Today I talked to Andy, who was the worst customer service person ever. I asked to talk to a manager, and she refused to transfer me and instead suggested she would be "very glad" to cancel my order. I had not thought of canceling the order until she suggested it. Order cancelled. My 1000 purchase will go elsewhere. Thank you Andy, for your wonderful suggestion, and thank you WiseSales for hiring Andy. I would hate for her to be working for my company.
I bailed on my purchase at the last second. There were several red flag. The attitude of the people, the need to collect as much personal information from me as possible and the blatent mis representation of some of the items on their site. As it turns out, there have been complaints about them both at the state and federal level. Be carful!
Answer: I had to call my bank which had issued my credit card and had them get the money back. Wisesales are the most unwise company to use for any purchase. I called the Schumburg police and filed a complaint with them and notified the local Better Business Bureau about their unethical business practices, also the Schumburg Chamber of Commerce. They all acted as though they could care less. I have not filed a fraud charge them since I did get my money back but if you need me as a witness I would be happy to see anyone connected to Wises Sales go to jail!
Answer: You won't... They stole your money. We have all contacted our credit card company to file fraud charges.
Answer: You need to file a claim asap. Call your bank or credit card and dispute the charges for fraud. Call the local sherif as well.
Answer: My credit Union has refunded my money and is trying to recoup from Visa. They have never been able to contact these snakes. They also had a rental company, Wise Equipment Rental. You might try that avenue. I did receive a call from the Illinois Attorney General's office in response to my complaint I filed with them. Also Honda Power Equipment was starting a file about this company when I talked with them. You might check with Visa or MasterCard directly I'm sure this is on their radar.
Answer: I called the credit card company & the Wise Sales. Finally asked to speak with someone in the credit department at Wise. Took two tries but finally got though & was given a credit after two months! Warn people about this company! Hope that helps...
