No cust. service after the order rcv'd - UPDATE: MADE IT RIGHT!

Received the mat'l in a timely fashion but never received the documentation that was required with shipment. Have sent multiple emails requesting and have received absolutely NO response. Frankly, 3 stars may be a little too high at this juncture.

UPDATE - 01/18/2024: After RSH rcv'd my review they jumped all over it and had this situation resolved immediately. Certainly appreciate their working to make this right. For that I give them the thumbs up!

Incomplete order of batteries

Ordered box of batteries, received just one sleave out of the box. Called and it took a follow up e-mail days later to ask for a status. The issue took quite some to resolve and then ship.

The customer service was excellent, but I cannot give a five-star rating because the company sold me an item that was already out of stock at the time of purchase. The customer rep. was able to track down the item that I was looking for.
