I too have had a rather frustrating experience when buying through padovaimports - their high positive feedback is a joke!

I bought a brand new Ramsond diesel generator which was defective.  The body was dinged (no big deal) but when the injector pump was defective - it needed to be replaced.  They eventually sent me a replacement pump which I had to pay someone to install.  Then, when we hooked up the battery - it was dead and couldn't be repaired - so I had to go and buy a new one from a specialty shop.  My added expenses were just over $250 to which they said I would receive a credit.  This all occured from Oct 16 - Jan 31.  I still have not received my credit - I highly doubt I ever will - but my greatest disappointment is that I was unable to leave negative feedback.  I should have gone with my instinct and just left it instead of holding out hope of ever getting my credit.

Although we did manage to get the generator up and running - it wasn't nearly as troublefree as it should have been.  I understand that items can be damaged - but so many things went wrong, and now their blatant lack of communication is inexcusable. 

So perhaps this guide will serve as my opportunity to leave 'Buyer Beware' Feedback.
