PERFECT in every way: pricing, speed of packing, shipping, communication. Many sites say "free shipping" but then load me with an exorbitant shipping fee at the end of the process because "oh, but... See more

I had a great experience with Defender

I had a great experience with Defender. Shipment was fast and correct. Unfortunately for me one of the items had to be returned and they handled the return quickly and professionally. Excellent customer service! Thank you.

Your website sucks

Your website sucks. The search results are horrible mostly because I don’t know what you call what at I’m looking for. The suggestions that people also bought along with the item are hit and miss. Alternative and similar products could be improved. I eventually find what I want but it takes me longer than I would like.

Great customer service

I had pre order jitters of a non-returnable item. I had many questions. Each time I called, I got a live person to speak with. Email answer was exactly what I had asked about. I felt my concerns were addressed before I placed the order. After the order, I received an email explaining what steps to take regarding truck freight acceptance and refusal. This further allayed my fears of getting a flawed or defective item without recourse. Can't wait for it to arrive now.
