I bought a trailer from a municipality and as normal paid for it before I could get it. I drove 7 hours to get it and it was junk, frame twisted, flat tire on 1 wheel, loaded with scrap metal stuff and this was just the part I could see. I refused it and called the municipality, and the guy was great, said he was not aware of the condition and I could refuse it. I drove back home empty handed. I contacted Gov Deals by email and they said they would assist me with the refund. I was directed to Flywire (the new payment department representing Gov Deals) and started my claim for refund. After 10 emails, sending my payment verification papers 4 times and over 5 weeks later, as of this email I've still got nothing. The amount I paid was $1,265.65. I've bought from Gov Deals for over 10 years and probably spent upwards of $100K on "stuff" but never had an issue with them in the past. NOW I'm getting screwed and Gov Deals just keeps referring me to Flywire. I just read some reviews on this site and from what I read, it's all to about business and not about customer service. it's time to stop doing business with them. Hate to do this but I'm adding my review. I paid with a wire transfer and once it's sent from my bank to them, it's gone, cannot get it reversed! The date is 10/27/2025, my claim started 09/22/2025 and still nothing. It's buyer BEWARE!!!!
