“I'm old, fairly mechanically inclined, totally inexperienced...”

MrDan
2/12/24

I'm old, fairly mechanically inclined, totally inexperienced with rebuilding RV trailer hubs/brakes... but seeing the required parts listed along with videos of their installation/adjustment gave me the confidence to do this job. It appears my outer bearing caved in and caused major damage but, thankfully, it came apart as I was backing into my driveway AFTER towing the trailer across a major lake dam and through some complex road construction! Thank you, God!

“Incomplete order”

DV
5/8/24

Unfortunately my order came incomplete. Now it seems I have to order a whole new mat/ rug instead of just the missing portion. This mean I must remove missing pieces from new order or repack the old order. Neither an easy task because it is oversized and the box isn't easy to open without ripping which makes the return that much harder. Not even sure if I have to bring the package somewhere which is also difficult. Not a good purchasing experience at all.

E Trailer has always provided excellent service and products. I haven't had an order yet where I'm dissatisfied. It's shipped quickly, the item is always as described and the instructions available either in the box or their website are always great. I ordered a 4 prong flat plug wiring kit for trailer lights. Following the instructions I had it installed in 45 minutes taking my time. They work great and came out looking factory. Thank you again E trailer!

Reason I chose this business:

I pick E trailer when I want a good product that fits my specific application with good instructions.

My wiring harness came in a matter of days after I ordered it. The instructions were clear to include photos which really helped. The only thing that the kit did not contain was the proper 30amp fuse which was easily obtained from an auto parts store. Fantastic response time, instructions, and pricing compared to others to include the OEM. Definitely recommend this company for those wishing to buy a hitch kit and accompanying harness.

Purchased a 26"-60" storage slide to use as an outdoor kitchen on our 5th wheel. Ordered on a Monday, delivered on Wednesday. I don't know what magic E-Trailer uses, but to ship a large box across the country in 36 hours is amazing. The Moryde sliding tray is awesome. Super heavy duty and easy to install. My two burner Blackstone fits perfectly, now I just need to build it into the tray as planned.

Reason I chose this business:

Because it’s E-Trailer and they have always exceeded expectations in the past.

One of the best online buying experiences I've had in a long time. I originally ordered two items, only to realize I needed a third item a few minutes after placing the order. I was able to call a live rep in the phone to cancel my original order and add my additional item. Not only did they help me with that, but they followed up a few days later to let me know the item had shipped. As someone who works in the service industry, I applaud your staff and work ethics and you've got a customer for life. Thank you!

Reason I chose this business:

Simple google search on a part that I needed.

Overall, my experience was fantastic. While I initially received the product with a crack in the black acrylic, I contacted etrailer.com and they promptly arranged for a replacement to be sent out the same day. The replacement arrived in mint condition and resolved the issue perfectly.

I'm incredibly grateful for the swift resolution and excellent customer service provided by etrailer.com. Thank you for ensuring that I received a high-quality product in the end.

Reason I chose this business:

I chose etrailer because of their reliability and wide selection of products. In particular, I needed submersible lights for my boat trailer, and etrailer had exactly what I needed. Their prompt service and quality products made them my go-to choice for all my trailer needs.

Receiver hitch was very nicely constructed. It's a welded, one piece, assembly. Installation took about 45 minutes with my brothers help. You do have to drill the frame for the mounting bolts, but that was expected. 1/2 in drill bit was the largest needed. I'm happy with the quality of the product, which in my opinion, exceeds the quality of the offerings from Curt or Reese.

Reason I chose this business:

Competitive price, detailed description for my specific vehicle, and vehicle specific reviews.

I needed chains fast for a trip over Mt. Hood in winter and eTrailer delivered. Much, *much* higher quality than what I could have gotten off Amazon or even at my local AutoZone. Incredibly reasonable price, and the slightly faster shipping I paid $22 for was even quicker than I thought due to the speedy order processing by the folks at eTrailer. Fantastic experience, if I ever need tire chains again I know exactly where to buy from!

Reason I chose this business:

Highest quality name brand tire chains available with promised delivery when I needed!

Typical stainless steel fenders found on bass boat trailers. I've ordered same fenders from other places at a much higher price. A few scratches due to poor packaging/handling but it's the same no matter where you get them. Fenders fit great on my 2014 Marine Master tandem trailer and were easy to install. Fenders come bare...no diamond plate step or inner pad...it's the same everywhere. Get your fenders here and order accessory parts/stickers from OEM.

Reason I chose this business:

Had the parts I wanted.

Hail storm came through and broke all the vents and the AC cover on our 48' Living Quarters race trailer. Went online the next day, ordered all my parts and they were here to Ohio in 2 days. Easy ordering, fast shipping, fair pricing, and wide selection is why we'll continue buying things as needed from you. Thanks so much again.

Reason I chose this business:

Previous experience. Good selection. Items in stock.

I haven't installed the unit yet so I can't speak to the produce but the purchasing and receipt of the product was a great experience.

The company kept me updated about my order every step of the way from order to processing to shipping and tracking to deliver and follow up with helpful articles and videos. It seems pretty obviously how a company should act but so many don't these days that it feels like white glove service!

Reason I chose this business:

You liked to have yr right product, “how to” videos to help me install it for my precise make model year and a great price and good reviews!

The item itself was exactly what I needed (5 stars), but it arrived with some damage due to very inadequate packaging (2 stars). The unit weighs almost 2.5 lbs and has some glass pieces, but it was packed only in a very thin bubble wrap sleeve. As a result, the corners on one side got some pretty big dents. I was able to carefully straighten it out enough where I could mount it, and there was no other visible cosmetic or functional damage, so I decided not to go through the hassle of doing an exchange.

They offered to replace it, but I was able to repair the damage and didn't want to hassle with doing a return.

Reason I chose this business:

They had the item I wanted, and I had purchased from etrailer before.

E trailer was very helpful when ordering my Swagman XTC4 hitch mount bike rack. The site had tons of info and photo reviews that were helpful in making my decision, but I still had a few questions. I reached out to customer service to see if they had more information on the product. They were speedy to respond and courteous of my concerns. I ultimately made a purchase which arrived in great condition and just as expected. I would gladly recommend Etrailer, and look forward to doing business again in the future

I just had some questions about the product I was hoping to purchase. They responded quickly, were more than happy to help and they addressed my concerns without issue.

Reason I chose this business:

Etrailer had the product I was interested in, in stock at almost 50% less than other competitors. I initially thought it was too good to be true, and had to do a bunch of research. As it turns out, they are a great, knowledgeable company and provide expert service at a reasonable price. I'm very satisfied

Installing hitch and wiring on 24 Honda Passport very easy. Package arrived quickly. One slight challenge and reason for 4 not 5 stars was that one of the hitch mount holes had to be slightly filed and repainted in order for all the mounting bolts to line up. It wasn't a big deal but made the project take an extra hour. The 4 pin wiring harness was also easy to install. Having a small mirror and flashlight made finding the factory connector easier without removing the side panel. Everything looks and works great.

Reason I chose this business:

Great past experience. Good price. Good quality. Easy installation. Good installation videos. Fast delivery.

Our shop has bought many, many products from ETRAILER and 90% of them have been great experiences.including this one. I was asking hard questions to the tech lady helping me and instead of BS her way thru it like alot of people do in some companies, she put me on hold to find out the CORRECT information. When people do that it tells me they care.I dont care if someone doesn't know all the answers to questions as long as they care enough to get the right one.

Great service

Hinge came in round hard cardboard tube. Taped on both ends VERY good. Hinge is unpainted and oily to the feel. (GOOD). I can clean it and spray black paint. Or maybe just leave it. Not sure yet. No holes so I will drill my own where needed.
Seems VERY strong, this is not a cheap flimsy hinge you might think! Very heavy duty.
Also came within a week. Very fast shipping. Thank you

Best price and had exactly what I was looking for.

I purchased a Yakima rooftop rack for my son's 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. The high quality item arrived on time as advertised and in excellent condition. We installed it today with no complications. Etrailer provided very useful installation videos which helped to interpret the written instructions. This is the third rooftop rack I have purchased from etrailer. My experiences from all three purchases were very similar.

Reason I chose this business:

I chose etrailer because of positive prior experiences. Selecting the correct product was easy from the website. Online videos showed what the installation consisted of. Prices were reasonable.

I am definitely impressed with e trailer and appreciate the description of product that also includes a description video. It's nice to know ow your getting exactly what you expect when making a purchase. The only downside I experienced was the shipping by UPS was slow 🐌. That's definitely not e trailers fault. 5 stars from me! Thanks!

Bought this for a 2020 Volvo XC90. Install took about two hours (I had never removed body panels before this project). Written instructions are fair, but the install video is fantastic. I did NOT have to trim the heat shield on my vehicle. Instructions don't tell you how wide to cut the opening in the bottom of the bumper fascia. I cut 4 inches (centered), which was perfect for the receiver (roughly 3-3/4 inches). The only challenge was tightening the new bolts--it's impossible to get a torque wrench on the heads because of Volvo's bumper design.

Shopping was easy. Everything that I needed was referenced to my chosen vehicle, nice. Wiring harness plug support plate was over-priced. Its just a piece of bent metal with a hole in it!
Received package a little late, box was in bad shape but all components were in good condition. Haven't installed it yet so time will tell

Did a lot of research for a rooftop cargo box and shopped around for the Profile18 from Malone only to find eTrailer had the best price and by far the most informative product page and resources (even watched some really helpful video reviews posted by eTrailer). I've never had a bad experience with eTrailer and this order was no different. The cargo box showed up in immaculate condition, vertically secured to a pallet to prevent crushing, well done!

Reason I chose this business:

I’ve dealt with eTrailer in the past and have found them to be very price competitive with unmatched resources and customer service and support. There’s a reason why customers come back to eTrailer, barely any online retailers hit all those marks consistently and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Keep up the good work!

Instructions were easy to follow. Took about 4 hours to install. Mainly due to the 2 bolts above the gas tank. And putting the heat shield back on.2 Heat shield bolts were not accessible from out side of the truck due to frame brackets being in the way but is doable just have to have patience. All in all very happy. Will be going and getting 5th wheel home from storage in 3 or 4 weeks.

Reason I chose this business:

Have bought multiple products for you. Have never been disappointed and quick delivery.

I don't do feedback and am not happy with having to respond to whether or not I received an order. Rest assured that if I didn't get it you would hear from me. That's what tracking confirmation is for (for you). This is just BS online marketing crap that takes time on my part and tries to drive future sales on yours. P.S. If I'm going to order from you, it's because you have the right part at the right price. If I find it somewhere else cheaper, I'll buy it there. Cut down your amount of communication emails!

Reason I chose this business:

Best price for the item.
