Review: Home Lumber Company

Abstract:

Out of Stock Delays, Great Customer Service, Odd-ball shipping.

Details:

On May 16th I purchased a Makita Cordless Drill w/ Flashlight and Tool Belt from Home Lumber Company (Whitewater, WI) through their online store.makita_belt.jpg
The Drill was shipped via UPS and it arrived 10 days late because the item was out of stock when ordered. (Not displayed as out-of-stock on web site). It was shipped in a used box. (bulk toilet paper!) The inner box, however, was standard-issue Makita. The drill was fine, but upon closer inspection I realized that the tool belt had a broken belt loop. This burned me a bit, so the next day I called HLC and complained. Without a word of question they drop shipped me a new belt the same day. It arrived within 48 hours. Awesome. And I didn't even have to return the broken belt.
