Delivery ahead of schedule.
Perfect packaging, like delivery. The problem, then solved with the courtesy of the staff assigned to the public, I come to the point; nothing was sent to me in Italian, all in English. They lacked a certificate of power and guarantee, as I said before, got everything through the kindness and seriousness that distinguishes the staff in charge of the public, in particular Ms SILVIA GANDOLO, who took the opportunity to thank her.

Good and powerful engine with a few weaknesses
I use him for a dinghy. The delivery was fast, however, the outer packaging was already badly damaged because there was no filling material inside. Engine was ok. Runs great on the first and the other starts. Needs little. It is good that the oil filling opening is very large. Unfortunately, there is no handle or grip surface on the back of the case, which makes carrying and lifting from or onto the boat very difficult. Unfortunately, you can not lock the throttle grip so that it always tilts when standing upright. But really annoying is the awkward trim setting that you can not use while driving. But the low weight, the good performance and the decent price are a plus.

Good packaging, delivery of a package intact but big defect the notice is only in German. A multilingual version would have been welcome!

Engine preserved in extremely damaged condition
In the last few months and years I have bought material for a lot of money at SVB. This resulted in the empirical values that with DHL and UPS, especially with the last 6 orders, I only get broken, smashed or otherwise damaged. Deliveries take an extremely long time and I don't just mean the couriers' time. I am paying right now for material that was PRE-PAID on May 5th and left SVB on May 16th! When I called there again, the supervisor said, Oh-I can see that your goods have still not been released, hmm- that should have been out long ago. What happened on the 16th, too late. Today is 23 and I ALWAYS don't have this material. If you call SVB and signal that you cannot reach anyone for the new pending shipment to Switzerland, and that I have been installing my long-ordered goods in Spain for 1 week and have now been waiting at home for 2 whole days (not in the company, but waiting, but cannot call DHL from anyone, although the message states that the importer or the exporter should contact (on a phone number that is invalid!). Call SVB at 1500 It's time to wait until the evening, if the courier is still not there at 1700, says SVB, now it's too late to investigate, wait until tomorrow ...! I was sent express parcels to Denmark and my goods arrived Much too late and again with severe damage. Instead of SVB taking action and finding out where the goods are and why they cannot continue, they just wave it off and refer to Corona. I just received it in 5 days Material from a 3 world country in the Caribbean and from England. Road transport from Paris to Switzerland was chosen both times and I had no delays or problems. ONLY WITH SVB, DHL AND UPS! And if you resist, nothing changes and SVB sends DHL again despite an absolute customer request, because the sales manager can get better conditions with them and my material counts too. It is legitimate as a customer to choose the courier with whom one has less shit with, but it seems that SVB customers are completely indifferent when they open their mouths because of multiple gross mistakes. Ps. The sales manager and I communicated that these are not inventions. But apparently SVB has such cheap courier contracts that material despite CAUTION and GLASS and FRAGILE glue, it does not matter if the customer receives broken material time after time, always and always with a long delay. If you defend yourself, you can see how one is helped. As if SVB had to bite horses' nails! What a shame, a shame. I specifically mention that this does NOT affect the consultations, just everything that has to do with packaging and transport in the SVB but also with the couriers. SVB can delegate the transports, but SVB is also responsible in the umbrella term. But that's why the high volumes that may not cost anything for the courier services. In the end, the customer pays with ANGER, INCORRECT DELIVERIES, PACKAGES THAT ARE TOO HEAVY AND DAMAGED GOODS, which you would rather keep than do the WHOLE all over again.

SVB staff good, Courier once again completely wrong
The SVB people are great at providing advice. I still have the engine in the original packaging, as it still has to be transported, so I can't say anything yet and that's why the average rating. BUT ...., although it is printed in large on the cardboard stand that you should NOT lift this light motor with a handcart, the entire box came to me completely broken open, smashed and all around with holes from the handcart. The UPS types tried to lift the 17 kilogram light motor with the handcart on all 4 longitudinal sides. Fortunately, the front and back where the engine block and the screw are, is specially framed with styrofoam and it looks good there at the moment. I just didn't send the engine back because I'm in a hurry and I can't wait for a replacement, but have to drive 1200 km to the boat. I have received ALL packages since Corona torn, broken, goods stored on top and box completely crushed by DHL and UPS. Whereby DHL is causing me the bigger problems. I know that SVB is not directly responsible for the transport, but the courier companies should take them tougher and then let the customers know. I'll get back to you when I can test the engine. I am really looking forward to this.
