              I ordered 3 items on August 6 with a new user discount of 15% the system did not credit me and I asked by email why. Then the order was broken up into 2 shipments. The second shipment was delayed. I asked why by Enail and my account multiple times. Nobody responded until 8 days later and said oh sorry we didn't respond for so long. Oh sorry you disntbyet your Dicount. Its expired. Then this morning they charged my card more money and the second shipment has yet to arrive! Customer support is terrible, slow and sarcastic.

              10/18/2024

              I ordered a $200 tool in September of 2024. It stated that I could expect it to be delivered between October 14-18th. By October 18th I checked the tracking information and it stated that it hasn’t been processed yet. I emailed customer service, and they told me they don’t have the tool and won’t be able to get it until late November. Why let me order it and tell me when to expect it if you don’t actually have it.? Furthermore, they said they will keep the order open and will ship it when they get it which seems to be preventing me from canceling the order because in their system they never charged me yet. I’m glad I haven’t been charged yet but I need to buy the tool from somewhere else and don’t want to be forced to get it from them when they finally ship it! Let me cancel it so I can buy from someone else!!!
