It came in a kit with the free food. 8 months later, the power goes out, both units were charged by the wall outlet and NEITHER solar generator or the cell phone charges worked. I reached out to 4Patriots for an assistance, apparently, the “key” that allows functioning was not included in my kit. They said to use a “Nail file” or corner of a “plastic credit card” to operate since they don’t have any keys to send. REALLY? BS, I said to refund and they said to return all the items at my shipping expense. Nice, I donated the back up food (all GMO quality BTW) to the food bank, I guess i need ot get a client list and knock on the doors to get the food back.I guess, if you wan to invest over $1,800 for junk and non edible food, go head, shop away.

Cooler doesn’t work Cooler doesn’t work, compressor does not come on. Have called 3 times about returning it, they told us they would send out another one. And an email would be sent to send the defective one back after 3 days nothing from them. Called again today and more excuses, now time to call my CC company to refund my account. And made in China on top of that, i would not buy again or anything they try to sell you.

Typically I have been very happy but recently ??!!! Typically I have been very happy and satisfied with 4Patriot and have ordered many items from them. Recently ordered 3month supply XL, and received two of the four shipments several days from each other and the boxes were open, one layer of packaging tape, and the one tote lid was open and not locked down. No packing slips with any of the shipments, so not sure if I even received everything that was suppose to be sent. Tried calling customer service 3xs with the 2nd and 3rd time leaving a callback to no avail. Overall quite disappointed with how the packages were sent and poor follow up after repeated attempts to contact them.

Paid for food I never received Paid for food I never received. Called cust Service, put on hold over an hour. opted for call back option. Never happened. Chat did not answer at all. Have sent emails with account info and order numbers and no response still issue not resolved. I bought a lot from this company in past.No more.

Defective Solar Power The Sidekick solar generator I purchased in February charged fine off a wall outlet. But, after using the generator I wanted to try charging it up using the solar panel. After picking a couple of bright sunny days and charging it for over 14 hours the generator was only 27% charged. I contacted 4Patriots and thinking it was the solar panel they sent a new one. The new panel was DOA. The panel never charged the generator and doesn't even stay on when exposed to sunlight. I'm disappointed in a company who supports our veterans would have such faulty equipment. Come to find out also the equipment isn't even American made (China and Viet Nam). Understandably, it may be difficult to find this equipment made in America but the quality control over what they sell is lacking. I will be returning all of the equipment.
