The Gift code for the PP Course didn't work ! 😞

I decided to send the gift via email to my nephew. I didn't want this course to be confused with the ones on my account but unfortunately the code via email doesn't work. I know he is excited and I wanted him to use your course but we are in a holding pattern . 😓 Disappointing

The website overall is very easy to navigate. The only suggestion I have would be in the email confirmation of the purchase of the program I got put link to download the study buddy app. But thus far my experience has been really good.

I just spoke to a support rep a day ago about a damaged product. A part of a product that could be replaced. They insisted on replacing the entire shipment. I even tried to confirm twice.
Ive left multiple reviews, but Ill do it again.
I AM CONVINCED THAT THE SPORTYS TEAM FENDS OFF DARK SPIRITS IN THEIR FREE TIME TO KEEP EARTH SAFE!!!!

P.S. Ive already recieved the replacement from them!

Great customer service

I was a slacker and did my CFI EFIRC the last possible second. I called customer service to see if I could make sure they signed my IACRA on the 30th before it lapse and within 5 min it was signed.

I love the yearly Christmas ornaments

I love the yearly Christmas ornaments. They are the highlight of my year. They are high quality and always ships on time. I have never had an issue with Sporty's and return to them for all my aviation needs.

Excellent customer service

Excellent, personal customer service. If you need assistance, you can actually talk to a real person, and their English language skills do not require Google Translate.
