The good
The good: Very competitive prices, everyone I spoke to at Voltage was very nice and seem to be trying their best The bad: Endless delays, slow-to-non-existent communication, inability to solve issues with distributors/suppliers/shippers on their own. I could write a 1000-word essay on my experiences with Voltage, but the basics are that I placed an order for two items that were delayed multiple times (initially this was not Voltage's fault, but they did not communicate these delays, requiring me to keep asking for updates as estimated ship dates came and went), and once the items did become available from the supplier, Voltage was incapable of solving issues between themselves, their supplier, and their shipper on their own, and were generally hard to reach and slow to respond to my questions. I understand that delays happen and that Voltage cannot control every part of the process, but when placing a 5-figure order with a reputable vendor, it's fair to assume that handling the logistics of that order is their responsibility - instead, it has been necessary for me to spend hours of my time coordinating between Voltage and their suppliers, solving their own communication issues, and whenever I tried to let them move forward on their own, no progress was made until I once again stepped in. This process occurred for both items I ordered, despite them coming from different suppliers. Throughout the process, Voltage was somewhat apologetic, but largely blamed their suppliers and offered no other resolution than eventually promising that they would ship me the second item via next-day air, a promise they promptly forgot (the item went out via ground, and when I reminded them of their promise, they refunded me $100, less than 1% of my total order, and considerably less than half of the difference between next day air shipping and ground shipping). Now, over five months after I originally placed my order with an 8-12 week estimate, I finally have both my items; needless to say, I will not be doing business with Voltage again.
