I've tried them a couple times and had unreal wait times. I get the impression they are operating out of the back bedroom of a trailer there in missouri. I like to google earth addresses to see their operations from above, Theirs is the first I have ever tried that does not come up on google.... a fake?

If you pull the address up on mapquest:

http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=D...41#a/maps/m::11:36.767415:-89.972394:0:::::/e

Then use google earth manually it looks to be an older style farm type house, the driveway is covered with trees and so is most of the house, probably a privately named road.

yeah, can't see anything but a roof.... Thanks, thats the first time I've seen google earth get stumped on me. If I would have seen that first I would have saved a bunch of time ordering elsewhere.

Funny, I've had many orders from them, all of them with excellence service, incredibly fast shipping, and all my emails answered within probably 6 hours, even the ones I've sent Sunday night.

I would highly recommend them. Let me guess, you ordered one of the ones they had to get from germany that they warn you about?

Nothing like responding to one year old posts.

No special notices, just items out of their little online inventory. 6+ hours is nothing to shout about. Sounds almost like your the guy in those woods here in disguise.

6 hours on a Sunday night is quite good. Honestly, what are you expecting? No wonder they can't please you. I sent an email around 3 am this morning asking for copies of receipts for taxes because I lost one. They emailed me all my receipts at 8:52 am.

As for me being them, stick around a little, you might learn something.

I think you hit the nail on the head there for that place.

No kidding there all you can see from the air at that address is a little roof in the trees.

ordered 3 pairs of knipex (7" wrench pliers, 10" raptor & cobra ES) on tuesday night. arrived today in a flat rate envelope. i'm happy.

the wrenches were a dollar more than chad but shipping at USPS cost was $4 cheaper than chad's 8.95. I wish more sellers would learn that!

I've noticed that a few times, but chads price protection plan takes care of you, you can't buy for lower prices anywhere. They factor shipping into it, its total purchase price considered- normally this works to their advantage cause most places charge more for shipping, but it goes both ways.
