I placed my order and a few days later it was cancelled by RS Hughes and I only got an email. No further details, no phone call. I was waiting for this material and needed it. Thank goodness Grainger was there to pick up Hughes slack.

Order still hasn’t shipped
The product I purchased was listed to ship a few days after the order was placed. It’s been over a month now and it still hasn’t shipped! And now I’ve got an email asking for a review?! Funnyyyy…
It was a gift for my brother and it looks like he will have to wait until after the new year.

Item showed “in stock”, but placed order and was notified later that item was out of stock. In today’s technology, the website should have been kept up automatically to the latest stock availability.

Bought your Ansel hyflex gloves for work. The company I work for purchased these years ago and I really liked them. They no longer purchase so I opted to buy my own I work with lead and these hold up 4-6 wks per pair on the job for me. Glad I was able to purchase at what I felt to be a great price and didn't have to buy in bulk.

Hey White Peak Industrial,
I'm looking into this for you. Apologies first of all for your experience. I have reached out to the warehouse that was handling your order for more details and I'll follow up with you about this when I have heard back from them regarding the unexpected cancellation of your order.
We do our best to notify customers of changes to delivery or fulfillment times, but we don't always hit the mark. You have our apologies for that. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
R.S. Hughes Customer Solutions Team
edit: WP Industrial,
I spoke with a Team Member, at the warehouse that accepted your order originally, whom clarified that this order was cancelled due to a discrepancy between the billing address and payment method's address. Our records show that attempts were made to contact you, by phone, to rectify this issue. In such a case, if we are unable to reach the customer within the course of a business week, it is our policy to cancel the order as it is common place for fraudulent orders to have mismatched payment methods and address. Once again, I apologize, because your legitimate order was caught in the crossfire of our policy to safeguard against false orders.
In your review you commented that you completed and paid for your order, please double check your payment methods bank statement, as your card should not have been charged in this case. If it has been charged, we will of course help to process a refund for you.
Thank you for contacting us here, once again, I'm very sorry that your order was not completed as you expected.
We are available to discuss this issue further at customersolutions@rshughes.com.

Nicholas Johnston - awesome!
Nicholas Johnston was a pleasure to work with! There was a little error in ordering and when I brought it to his attention he immediately took the reigns and got it fixed, pronto! As a business owner myself, I really appreciate when a company takes responsibility and stands behind their products and offers excellent customer service. Well done!
