Rewards
September 28, 2025

Canceling rewards after 6 months just makes people mad. Why put in a system that is supposed to generate goodwill and have it piss people off?

Shipping

Poor service and poor communication. The only benefit to using them is cost.

Does not follow agreements made at the time of purchase
September 26, 2025
Previous review

I had a warranty issue and your reps did mot follow the agreement we made and then tried to make me pay a second time for the parts. I'm glad I documented the conversation or you would have charged me twice for your representative's incompetence.

Order Detail

We need to have immediate access to the order details. We lost that feature for some reason. It was working correctly for a while. We had the same issue when the website update happened a while ago.
