I tried to cancel my order a few minutes after it was placed (after hours). The next morning I was told that it already shipped, when the shipping label creation date & time are clearly listed on the tracking page showing that not to be true.

Very nice customer service and product

Very nice customer service, and very good products. I love the quick setup of the displays, it's clever, solid, and easy. I only wish there was a taller version of the display I bought, but this is great for what I need for now.

Thank you very much for your order! I see that your bank required us to verify or correct your billing address. We understand this slowed down the process, and we're sorry. Though it delayed the order, we were able to make certain your information didn't fall into the wrong hands with your confirmation. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Item as described. Quick shipping. Directions on assembly are terrible. The finished product was not very sturdy so we added zip ties and it's great now.

Didn't get our tax exemption as a business like we do with every other company that we've done business with. Will just continue to shop elsewhere...

The stand is flimsy (useless if you can't place it against something) and NOT the same stand as given in the image. Delivery was held up a week, so I couldn't even replace it with a different model. I ordered 20 of these things.
