MrScooters comes through with flying colors. order #328 arrived in a lightning fast 4 days (3 if you don't count Sunday. CA to NJ in 3 days... WOW!(shipped fri. via USF arrived in n ;Dorth jersey on Monday, NewPenn sent to South Jersey terminal in cinnaminnson and then delivered teus.). Unfortunately I was not home because I thought it would arrive on Thur. 31st. NewPenn messed up by not calling, just showed up. Driver also came alone and could not move the 320+lb crate. Scoot arrived in perfect condition until tweedle dumbest tried to move it mucho solo. He scraped some paint and wriped a hole in my seat (bummer) while pushing and pulling and still could not get it off the truck, even after he took the cardboard off and destroyed the metal crate trying to free the scoot w/o proper tools (so my wife explained) so he took it away. I went to the warehouse to look at the damage (not bad. Seat hole only major damage) they did not want to re-deliver because the crate fell apart. I told them to remove it from the metal because more damage would result. They refused to re-deliver due to the scoot no longer being in a crate. They wanted me to rent a u-haul or get a pickup and move myself. I Had to call corporate HQ and complain. Straight to the top! Spoke to customer service rep who put my complaint trough to the director of operations before I was satisfied that I'd complained enough. Corporate must have lit a hell of a fire under them because the next day the dock manager in cinnaminnson calls me and cant be more helpful. He has a pallet especially custom built on site by his mechanic to hold the scoot and delivered today Wednesday with no further damage. Wish I thought to take a picture. Could have sent it to Roketa as a suggested replacement for that crappy metal crate that always breaks. oversized pallet w/ 4x4's and tire wedges holding the tires in place w/scooter siting upright on center stand. Had cardboard on center console with steel straps holding scooter down. Couldn't budge scoot. If you wrap the scoot in bubble wrap you would have the perfect transport device. Wont bore u with details. Arrived late at 6pm, so just put battery (which I charged as per PDI) and fuel in the tank (after checking w/flashlight for gunk) and turned her over just to see her run. Warmed up nicely. radiator fan came on, so off she went, and parked her out back to wait for tomorrow when I will do FULL PDI. Pictures will be taken and claim will be filed with NewPenn for seat and panels. LOVE my MC-54-250B. Did I get the linhai motor? no clue. will let you know tomorrow after PDI ;D

NEwPenn sucks... but dang, I'm in Ohio, mine also shipped USF on Friday, and it's just now sitting at Rock Island Ill, on it's way here, but not here yet... that's amazing.. Congrats dude! Really sucks about the damage.. but hey, it's not too bad, and hopefully they'll pay you enough for it to buy new parts, and get some gas in it! JimK

Seriously, MrScooters is awsome!! Super fast shipping , great prices. Look at some of the other dealer threads, i.e., MX and compare. So many ppl complaining about waiting a month or even more to get scoot. I recommend MrScooters to anyone.

my mc-54-150 came last night uncrated it and found a busted windshield . e-mailed mr scooter and told them so wait for e-mail back. it was the third color choice red. put battery and gas in and it stared maybe 5 trys--put almost 5 miles on it up and down the rode..everything is fine but the winshield. being disk brakes all around it doesnt have as much braking power as i would like.friday iwill chnge the hoses and oils since it is at my sons house 15 miles from here---mr scooter did a fine job of getting the scooter here so no complaints . i will probably buy me a 250 next year from them also

I emailed MrScooter to thank them and the response I got seemed to be geared for the forum. Among other things he said that he is really trying to improve communications and it will improve in the future. I didn't say a word about communications, he must have gotten that from reading through forums. I'm telling you, this forum really makes a difference.

I checked my tracking and it said that my scoot was out for delivery! So I called up the local USF holland office and they got me right through to the driver. He should be here in a couple of hours.
Today is waaay better than this coming monday for delivery. :-D lol
I have my camera ready so I will grab some pics as it comes off the truck.
First color choice was red so we shall see what shows up. I can't wait...

Hi All! I'm a noob and have been reading this sites great info for a bit trying to decide which online site to buy from and decided on MrScooter, ordered a MC-54-250 with a credit card and got an email saying my order was being processed, then an email this morning asking me to send a MO or cashiers check and they promised me the moon, upgraded scoot, upgraded shipping and a better price, so I took a leap of faith and sent a cashiers check a few minutes ago. Did any of you do this or did you wait for Credit Card processing, am I getting promises that won't be kept, seems like some of you lately have gotten really quick shipping and all has gone well, Here's hoping that will be my experience as well. Am really glad to have found this site and all this amazing info. Happy Scooting

i ordered but am waiting for the CC machine to get fixed they said today. Sounds like its not getting fixed if they are not taking your cc right now. I guess i will keep waiting. I dont want to give a MO or cashiers check. I have waited 1 week so far for them to process credit cards again. I might cancel my order and go to atvdiscounters since they have a teacher discount and take CC.

They have come throguh big time. Don't stress, you'll get your scoot and it should be fairly quick.

Yeah have faith! I mailed a certified check to Mr Scooter and basically 2 weeks later a beautiful red mc-54-250b showed up. The freight guy couldn't make it all the way in my neighborhood due to a lower power wire so I have to go grab my trailer and haul it the last 3 blocks myself. lol The box has a couple of small holes in it... nothing big. I got the box off and there were a few small bent spots on the shipping cage but nothing rubbing or cracked. Overall it looks great. Soon as I got the plastic off the rain began to pour. Figures... It hasn't rained here in weeks. lol Mr Scooter is alright in my book. They came through and delivered a good looking scoot. Now if it will just quit raining I can go set it free from the cage...

I'm having a hard time getting through to my local USF terminal. The call either doesn't get through or it's busy. I'll stop by there tomorrow on the way home from work (it's not far off my usual path).

I would say they have just as many complaints as Mrscooters does. Mostly communication but everyone last gotten their scooter on that thread.

Post by jimk on Jul 31, 2008 21:57:11 GMT -5
Well, I dunno, so far there were only two complaints, one person kept trying to post multiple complaints.. as if they were all different people, and the other complaint was the one who started this thread, and no offense to him, but he didn't really have a "complaint" as he never actually bought from them, he just couldn't get a response, but he didn't have the right email address, so it's kind of a wash.. Otherwise, everyone has been treated well by MrScooters, all prducts shipped timely, and priced well below ATVD or any other dealer.. I know a few on here have had decent luck with ATVD, but most were from the B&M store, not the online ordering, the online ordering is where the problem seems to lie.. Many people being shipped the incorrect color, and sometimes even the incorrect model. Little to no communication, and after the shipment, NO communication.. And lots of damaged scoots.. Not to mention it seems the shipping times for ATVD is no less than 4 weeks from date of order.. Mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow, and It's been less than 4 weeks since I ordered, and wouldn't have taken this long if I hadn't changed my order twice... speaking of which....

Hey Harmzway looks like the first color choices are being delivered so good luck...
Jim: I bet you are excited as can be...lol
I honestly didn't expect it to show up today. What a cool surprise.
After the worst of the rain passed, I got the scoot off the trailer and out of the cage. Other than a few nicks and scuffs from the manufacturer it looks great. It is a June 2008 Cypress 250.
The showers returned as I was getting the windshield installed so I get a little wet...lol. Showers passed while I was getting the trunk on. I also got proper color matched mirrors. All parts seem to be as they should.
I will try and get the battery charged and get it running tomorrow. Plan to do some PDI this weekend...

Mine could have been here today, but I couldn't be available from 3-5pm, so it will be here tomorrow!
AFAIK, this is the first 68B any of the forum members have received.. I'll try to get up some pics.
