Anyone have experience with q9powersportsusa or wholesaleATV?

[crabjoe]

I'm trying to figure out who to order from.. It looks like q9powersportsusa or wholesaleatv is who I'm comfortable with... That's because these 2 companies actually answered there phones when I called.

Originally I was going to order from ArlingtonAtv but I found out about Manny.. Seems Manny is hard to work with, so I knocked most all the stores in TX out.

So what are your thoughts on who I should order from?

Thanks!

Never heard anything bad about q9powersportsusa. I know a few members have bought from them with no problems. I don't know anything about wholesaleatv.

I actually bought from Q9 on April 17th. It was fairly painless.
Here's a timeline:
Apr17 - Order Placed
Apr 22 - Called as I had not recv'd any shipping info. Was told it had shipped the day prior. Checked tracking, was scheduled for delivery the next day. Note their free shipping option does not include liftgate. I borrowed a truck to just squoodge it from the delivery truck into the pickup. Driver was super nice (R+L).

Apr 24 - Called with VIN information to get paperwork started.
May 1 - Paperwork sent out
May 4 - Paperwork received with all signatures and notarized. The MCO was dated APR 17 from TaoTao in TX, so I suspect bike went one way (West) and paperwork went the other (East) and the delay between calling for the paperwork and it getting sent out was due to it going TX -> WI -> UT. Notary date to posting was next day.

Thanks folk. Especially the info about the whole process.

@deadwood83 - Was your order something in stock or pre-sale?


BTW, how much does the shipping crate add to the weight? I've got a small tractor with a fork attachment. It's only rated at like 600lbs at the pin of the front loader.. You think that'll be enough to get a 200cc atv off the truck?

My order was in stock. Anything pre-sale would put you at the mercy of the importer/distributor. For the Hellcat the shipping package was maybe 10-12lbs max. It's all thin mild steel angle iron with some bolts. Shipping weight was listed at 276lbs, and the MCO states 250. Having lifted the bike with a friend from the back of a tall truck... it's either not 250lbs or I should be able to do some pull-ups :lmao:



TaoTao Bull 200 is listed at 397lbs. If your fork is in decent shape should be no trouble so long as you are smooth. Check if 600lbs is static rating or dynamic. If it's dynamic then all good. If static... go real slow and be very smooth.
