Horrible experience with APSCUSA (NEGATIVE)
So I posted a question 4 weeks ago about what company I should buy a GTK150 (4 seater go kart) from. I got postive replies about APSC so I spoke with Don and seemed very comfortable buying from him. He talked me out of the 4 seater and into 2 separate karts. He put together a fair priced package and said I'd have it no later then a couple days since they are being shipped from Atlanta and I'm in Tampa. Well after numerous calls and continued excuses about "trucking company delays" and "it's being shipped today" ; indeed, 3 weeks later, still no karts. I spoke with them today and sure enough, it was never shipped and now it's a "computer problem". They said they will be refunding me my money and I can reorder next week with the "new computer system". Unfortunately, I've lost all trust in these people. I've seen all the positive reviews with them and wanted to give them a shot but boy am I disappointed! Buyer beware of APSCUSA.

Wow! That's unbelievable. I feel sorry for you having so much problems. I order a Hawk and a UTV from them and it only took about a week. I had damage on the UTV and they sent out replacement parts the next day. Only took 2 days to get them. I also ordered parts for an older atv I have and got them quick. Somebody put the VooDoo on it. It sounds like if something could of went wrong with your order it did. I had that happen to me with KilerMotorsports. I ordered an ATV for my daughter in November to make sure I had it before Christmas and didn't get it till the 2nd week of January. It worked out ok. It was right before her birthday. I hope you get everything worked out.

Just the willingness to offer you a refund is still a classy move as opposed to some of these retailers. Not selling many karts as opposed to 2 wheelers I bet. Someone screwed up.

That would imply a 3rd party drop shipper is involved in the issue . . since American Products Sales Center is located in Adamsville, TN.

An update...After researching my best options from this forum, I called TxPowersports and decided to order from them. I ordered 2 go karts, a GTK150 (taotao 4 seater) and a Monster 200. I decided on the monster 200 cause they had it $400 cheaper then most other places. I got a discount code from one of there employees I spoke to over the phone...MUD1, which was $25 off. So of course I wondered if MUD2 would work...yup, $50 off, yet finally MUD3 was the last one that worked...$100 off. I opted for same day processing (which was $30 x 2, which I figured big deal cause I already got $100 off 😄. I received a UPS freight tracking number the next day and they will be shipped to my door (liftgate service included) Tuesday. Indeed, this will be so much easier not having to rent a trailer and go pick them up at a truck terminal. I'm lucking forward to getting them. Wish me luck putting them together! 😬

The Cubs winning, Trump winning, and someone having a horrible experience with APSCUSA and buying from TXPowersports (aka 'Manny') instead the past couple weeks, means something crazy, like a Supermoon, is going on!

It's probably an issue on Taotao's end. They've been having a bit of a meltdown.
