Based on the shipment details, the remaining package is still tracking within the expected delivery lead time and is currently expected to be delivered on Tuesday, July 14.

Please know that we are actively committed to getting your orders delivered as quickly as possible and appreciate your patience and understanding as the remaining shipment makes its way to you. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call us at 630-629-6600. We appreciate your business and strive to be more than a supplier, but a committed partner to your business success.

Poor shipping quality

The bucket liners I ordered are meant for use to contain an OTC product. On the website it states that the bag liners are made of FDA approved LDPE -- based on this I would assume they would be handled with more care. My concern is with the shipping of these bags. One of the boxes showed up completely destroyed and the bags are open to the air and potential contaminants. They are unusable. I do know the carriers are pretty rough on boxes, but the material of the box is quite flimsy and I don't feel like it had a chance -- especially with the weight of the bags inside.

Other than that, the company is responsive and the shipping was fast.

They are a VERY helpful company and I am giving 5 stars because their customer service and responsiveness is top-tier. They're currently working on helping me resolve my issue.

Ordering was easy and efficient

Ordering was easy and efficient.
However, I was told lead time was 3-4 weeks, its been 3 weeks today and now you are telling me 7-31-26 before it ships. (6 weeks).
I know you can't control some parts of the business but be honest or give feedback along the way.
I will try another company for next order.

Hello Drew,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are pleased to hear that the ordering process was easy and efficient, but we are sincerely sorry for the frustration caused by the lack of proactive communication regarding your order.

We understand your frustration. We should have done a better job communicating the latest shipping information and keeping you informed throughout the process. We apologize that this update was not shared proactively and understand the inconvenience and uncertainty that caused.

We have shared your feedback with our team and are reviewing our communication processes to help ensure customers receive important order updates as soon as they become available. Clear and timely communication is an important part of the customer experience, and we recognize that we fell short in this instance.

We genuinely appreciate your business and regret that this experience has fallen short of the level of service you expected and deserve. Your feedback helps us identify opportunities to improve, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. If you would like to discuss your order or have any questions regarding the updated timeline, please contact our team at 630-629-6600. We would welcome the opportunity to assist you and address any remaining concerns.

Hello Andy,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience this shipment delay has caused, especially knowing it impacted your plant operations while you were waiting for your product.

We understand how critical timely deliveries are to your business, and we regret that this order did not meet the level of service you have come to expect from us over the years. After reviewing the shipment, we confirmed that the order shipped on July 1 and arrived at the local terminal over the July 4 holiday weekend. Unfortunately, delays at the terminal impacted the final delivery schedule. While we understand there were circumstances that contributed to the delay, we recognize that does not lessen the impact on your business.

We are pleased to confirm that your order was delivered on July 8. However, we know this does not change the disruption the delay caused, and for that we are truly sorry.

We greatly appreciate your longstanding business and the trust you have placed in us over the years. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Feedback like yours helps us identify opportunities to improve our service, and we are committed to learning from situations like this. We value your partnership and hope to have the opportunity to provide the reliable service you deserve on future orders.

Thank you,

Hello Dalva,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the frustration this shipment delay has caused, especially given your production timeline.

After reviewing your order, we found that it was fulfilled from two separate warehouse locations and shipped via two different carriers. One portion of the order was successfully delivered on July 7, while the second shipment is currently in transit and is expected to be delivered by Monday, July 13.

We understand how important it is to receive all components of an order when needed, and we regret the inconvenience caused by the delayed arrival of the remaining shipment. While the second package is currently with the carrier, we are actively monitoring its progress and will continue to provide assistance as needed.

We appreciate your patience and understanding and are committed to doing everything we can to support you until the remaining items are delivered. Thank you for your business.
