Can’t ship anything on time
"Have ordered multiple times from them needing stuff for a trip and had it not get to me in time and end up not having it for what I need. Takes them over a week to just ship it out after I pay for faster shipping. Makes no sense why I’d pay for faster shipping for it to take them a week to even get it in the mail"
Always reliable.
"Always reliable. Never an issue with the top knot and consistency in taper."
