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.

Shorted-sloppy-Can’t reach Customer Care Spent -$1,056.82. When ordered, 4Patroit provided me one tracking number only. Accordingly, that covered one package. The packages were sent separately arriving days apart. In the end, I received a total of 4. However, I am missing an entire tub of survival meals. Moreover, we had to wipe down the two tubs we received because they were covered with powdered food. I called one day and spent hours on hold. The next day I left my number for a return call. No return call received. This is the first and last time I use this company. If I hear nothing by tomorrow= three days of attempting to reach customer service, I am filing a complaint with the Pennsylvania Attorney General Consumer Protection Unit.

Worst experience ever Worst experience ever. Not the place for those with severe food allergies. Had to ship back product at my own expense which cost me $315 dollars. So I paid to get nothing. Don’t use this company there are other options with more sensitivity to people with food allergies.

AI bs Dear 4 patriots I have ordered a lot of food in the past couple years. No issues. But what gets me when an issue comes up your customer service is not present? I ordered some food and it was cancelled to do some reason, I wanted a further explanation of why? I get an email from an AI bot that couldn’t answer sh.., tried again same email sent another message and nothing? Understand you’re a big company and you should have enough people to answer phones and emails! Customer service is huge for people! When they have to write a review it’s too late for help or apologies. I don’t want to hear current world events or this or that is happening bs! Have real people answer phones and email so a customer doesn’t have to write a shi….review. Would I order from you again? Maybe maybe not idk.? But I won’t deal with AI garbage

Survival & Practical This company sells so many life saving items. I just added 4 of their quality solar flashlights for instance. Take a look at their items, you won't be disappointed.
