They don't seem to want your business
Filled out the online contact form requesting quote for gravity conveyors. They never got back to me, but didn't hesitate to put my email address on their junk mail list. Called them but was put on hold for several minutes before they hung up on me. Called back, no answer. My company will take it's business elsewhere.

Hi Dave, we called you, and YOU hung up on us. Please, gladly take your business elsewhere. Thank you
Friendly, very helpful, prompt responses via email, easy ordering process. Payment on-site. Top products. Happy to use again. Highly recommended company.
Product came damaged and the trucking outfit you recommended wouldn't pay the damages and your company wouldn't take responsibility either.
We got stuck with 15 damaged racks.

Jerry, we apologize that the 3rd party freight company damaged your product. After providing you the pictures of the wire decks in condition when they were loaded onto the truck, we did ask you to confirm how many decks were damaged and we would help you with replacements but you stated you were going to deal with the shipping company.

Could not have picked a better supplier…
Could not have picked a better supplier to partner with for racking out our new warehouse space! I worked with Jim A and he was responsive to my requests and changes. He sent pics to show the quality of the product before I placed the order. The order was shipped as promised and arrived without issue.
The decision to use American Surplus as the racking supplier for our warehouse expansion was the right decision. I will definitely use them on future projects.

Great customer service
Easy choice selection, and they were very malleable. I had originally planned on picking up the material lift, but ended up changing to shipping and they were able to accommodate without a problem! Thank You!

Great pricing, and very responsive service. Very satisfied with the custom mezzanine, and will be duplicating this order in the coming months. Thanks very much!
Josh, Rachael & Danielle were great to work with. Our warehouse & manufacturing love the work benches. We be needing more & look forward to dealing with the team in the future.

Charging unit we ordered didn't come…
Charging unit we ordered didn't come with one of the cables needed for install. Not disclosed and is a common sense assumption that it would be included. Company didn't want to ship the cable and said it was our responsibility. Unit also came pre-configured for a different setup despite a few emails confirming it was for a 240v application.

We apologize for the misunderstanding but you should always have a licensed electrician install these chargers and they would easily add the cable and plug according to your building needs and would be able to reconfigure the wiring for 240V no problem
Our order was handled by Bill Lizotte from start to finish. We needed to run a system temporarily which required two conveyors. Conveyors arrived ready to go as promised with correct incline legs and flat conveyor legs. It was easy to assemble and was plug and play.
