It seems like customer service keeps declining.
I made a purchase today via their website about 2:30 EDT. At about 3:30 I decided to add one more thing. So I called their customer service line and started to explain that I made a purchase and wanted to add one thing. I was immediately told "No, we can't do that."
No I know from experience they are not the fastest in fullfilling orders - never have been. And I am confident that they did not fill my order in one hour. But they wouldn't even try. How hard would that be exactly? Instead - I was told that I could get it shipped for only 5 dollars. No offer to waive shipping. And if they can ship for 5 dollars which is lower than their cheapest rate it tells me they are just ripping us off on smaller orders.
Unless I can't get it anywhere else - I'm done with Penn State Industries. In all the years I used to deal with the owner of Arizona Sillhouette (before it was sold) - he was grumpy but ALWAYS took care of his customers. At least that was my experience.
