              This store is notorious for posting items on sale on there website, only for people to purchase the item, provide all of there CC information along with addresses and phone numbers only to cancel the item a few days later and say that the price was an error. I am not sure if they are doing this just to get people information and do who knows what with it, but these pricing errors happen to often. This website is a scam, I am surprised a class action lawsuit hasn't been filed. The last item purchased that was cancelled without notification was a Milwaukee M18 LED light on Jan 29th, ****.

              My first and LAST order with this company. Ordered a 50-ton hydraulic press on 12/21 and was told it would be delivered 12/29 or there about because of the holidays. After several calls with them assuring me it was on its way, product was delivered on 1/24. It wasn't a 50-ton press, but two 10-ton jacks. Called on 1/26 and was finally able to talk to a supervisor. He seemed very helpful as I told him my story. I no longer wanted the product and wanted a refund and for them to pick up the wrong product. Was told I would receive my money within 48 hrs. It is now February 7th. I do not have my money and I received an email telling me that a replacement order had been submitted. Called them back AGAIN. They are holding my refund until they receive the wrong product back, however, that is on hold with their transportation and supplier. NO ONE CALLED TO TELL ME. I am now waiting for a call back from another person so I can get my refund so I can pay the people that will actually deliver what I ordered.Not once have a received a follow up call from them. I do not trust one word their reps say.
