Back in early December I ordered a bunch of PW50 parts from PW Only and PeeWee Racers (Michigan based), the service and parts were quick from PW Racers (thanks!) - but nothing from Florida based (allegedly) PW Only. I was trying to restore this ‘95 for the grandkids for Christmas. On or about mid-late December, after emails brought nothing, decide to call PWOnly, dude answered the phone; “ Yeah?” Yep. Red flag right? Dude seems disinterested in my plight and claims, after taking my order number, he would call me back in an “hour or two”. Nothing. Asked wife to cancel transaction somehow... (under dispute) - anyway, kinda pissed off, I remember I’m going down to my winter palace in Naples, maybe I’ll slide by their offices and see what’s what ? So, I roll up last week, on New Years Day to 4355 Mercantile Avenue and.... nothing, everything closed up...of course it’s a holiday (dammit) - but no sign or signage of PW Only. Nothing. Appears to be a fancy car brokerage or something... Oddly enough, there’s a Sheriffs Substation next door.... Anyway, still no parts or communication, trying to get money refunded, think it’s happening... started reviewing online reports about this place.... Just WOW. Beware, my brothers and sisters.

Good looking out Rup, was planning to order some stuff pretty soon from them.

FYI you can buy a complete Carb from RockyMountain for $17, don't go spending $7 on just a jet.

* Curious, any of you ever install one of those foot-brake conversion kits on a PW, my grandson is small and has tiny hands.... also need to do the same in his StayCyc - anybody ever make that conversion ?

That’s cool. Usually do Veggie Pizza. Lots of IPA’s. Been in Florida awhile, hooked again on Jai-Alai. Might do some Bells Two Hearted, some Hazys, Juicys, but all IPA.

a ton of the super small online only shops like that are just someone running it out of the back of an existing business. that's my guess with them.

I've ordered from PW only in the past, I wouldn't say they are scammers , but rather just not well run , with zero customer service. i didn't have luck communicating to a human when I needed to either. my guess is their inventory is hit harder than normal and are even less so caring about service.

their stuff is 'good enough' for PW's, but its cheap cheap china stuff. not the 'good' china stuff we are most accustomed to.

I have brand new set of pre 2017 forks I ordered from there. Contacted to make sure they would fit my 2020. Of course they will. Nope. Not even close. That was almost a year ago. Still haven’t heard from anyone. If you need forks I got you.

You have too many 6's in your phone number bro. You're clearly the devil of mini bike parts.

Mr Rupert,
I do not have the 65 main jet but I do have a 62.5 or 62.5 in stock. do you want a different size or refund? I do not have the inner tubes in stock right now, about 4-6 days they should be here but everything else in in stock and ready to ship. Please tell me what you want to do next.. refund the items I do not have and cancel them? refund everything and cancel whole order? wait for items not in stock and ship everything?

Yes. Just cancel everything and refund money, Cancel the transaction. I do appreciate the fact that you appear concerned now, but I’m not interested.

I had the same shit experience and rude interaction with PW only. The forks are super cheaply made. The retaining clips don’t hold the forks together. They popped out after 10 minutes when my son was literally riding in our yard. Thankfully we weren’t at a track when the clip failed. It would have been a bad day. When I called, the guy was super rude and basically told me tough shit.
Overjumped, that’s a really messed up posting someone’s info. I’d assume you’re with PW only, and if you’re the same dude I had to deal with, it was a terrible experience. I’ll never buy shit off of your site again and I’ll inform everyone I know to do the same.

I ordered plastic from there this summer and the stuff is just garbage. When the price is too good to be true there's a reason..

That was one of the worst business moves I think I’ve ever witnessed.

I tried calling this dude dude back a few times to resolve this issue but he dont pick up. He has a very strong English accent on his voice mail.
Rupert X posted many pictures of my building, my address, plus details of the contents inside my building, posting this has nothing to do with him getting a refund for a PW parts order. Anyway, I have nothing to hide. My name is Tim DeNardis and I been in the motocross business since 1995. I got hurt at the Gatorback Pro National in 1992 in my morning qualifier race. I broke my back and was paralyzed with complete spinal cord injury. I always loved motocross and still do, but its not easy and make a living in this industry. I was blessed that I created one for myself. Yes, Its hard for me sometimes, I work hard every single day, I do the best I can.
Mr. Rupert Pellett, I personally refunded your money back on your credit card already January 6, 2021. Please do not contact me any more. Please do not call me, contact me, or show up at my business or home anymore. THANK YOU

Lol. Yeah Rupert, leave this poor guy alone.

That was sarcasm btw.

It’s funny how businesses try to get the ball rolling only after being called out on a public forum. Minus the 2 stroke master that we are all aware of thanks to this great place

You doxed a paying customer.

It’s just as easy to dox you if he actually wanted to. Luckily Rupert didn’t pay you a visit on Viking Way in Naples 😉

If you treat customers better, and actually reply and resolve issues BEFORE being called out on a public forum, business will be a lot easier for you.

And you are a business with your address publicly available. BIG difference between that and a personal address.

Plus, for a guy with legal issues, you think you’d try and avoid any more...

I ordered from this clown years ago, never again. I ordered an orange tank and plastic set. I received a black tank. When I called and asked to be shipped the orange one I ordered he responded with "you're lucky I even shipped you the black one". Take your business elsewhere!

Rup did not post anything that i couldn’t easily find by going on your website and trying to get in touch with you...oh wait. I did that, and found your shop address, was able to look it up on Google Maps...with a street view that shows everything that was posted on here.

You posted the mans home address. You really think that anyone that would be a potential customer, and sees that, is going to order from you? Never.
Just based off of your responses to me, on this board, and to other people, your attitude towards your customers is laughable at best.

Just a refresher for anyone that may be thinking of ordering anything though Pwonly.com. Been waiting for six weeks without any response from emails. Just glad I had paid though paypal.
