Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gladiator GarageWorks GAGB272DRG Premier Modular GearBox
Customer Review: 5-Star item but HORRIBLE 1-STAR SHIPPING FROM AMAZON THREE TIMES IN A ROW!!
Summary: 1 Stars
PLEASE NOTE: This is a 5-Star item but shipping is 1-Star via Amazon. This is a great heavy-duty cabinet and I recommend it without reservation to anyone who is looking for a solid heavy duty cabinet to hold their tools. The cabinet looks great, is easily moved around for projects and the internal shelf is full extension with roller bearings. Everything about the cabinet is extremely durable: the internal shelf, the piano hinges on the doors...even the casters which look like they would support a small truck. However, you will need to purchase this cabinet somewhere other than Amazon to receive it intact. I ordered it the first time and received it via Fed Ex. The cabinet had huge dents and the left door was so bent that it scraped against the bottom edge of the cabinet during closure because of the damage. As I said earlier, this is a heavy duty cabinet and you have to seriously mistreat it to cause this kind of carnage. I called Amazon and a second cabinet was sent via UPS. This one was also damaged but less so that the first. I called and voiced my concerns to customer service and the supervisors about shipping a THIRD item via the same methods. Prior to this order, I had ordered the GearDrawer which Amazon shipped via Ceva Logistics and this was received in PERFECT condition. After seeing this, I asked the Amazon supervisors if they could either ship the GearBox via Ceva or if they could offer me some assurances that efforts would be made so that the THIRD shipment would not arrived damaged. They could offer neither and shipped it again via FedEx. Well, it didn't arrived damaged...this time IT DIDN'T ARRIVE AT ALL. I was simply told that it was "lost in transit". When I called to discuss this issue, the supervisor promised that there will be an "internal investigation" in the shipping dept that will "assure this will not happen again". When I pressed for details or follow-up of the issue in a few weeks he could not tell me that there would be any more info forthcoming and that it simply "wouldn't happen again". He was fairly evasive the entire time. If Amazon could truly promise me it wouldn't happen again, I would re-order the item from them in an instant. As it stands, I had them finally refund the purchase and I will have to go to Sears to get this item. The main lesson here is that Amazon shipping methods are unreliable for large, heavy items such as tool chests, etc, and they can't (or won't) make any special effort to make sure it gets to you undamaged. Again, this is a terrific tool chest that I would encourage you to purchase as you will be very happy with it. However, I *strongly* recommend you buy it through your local store as it will almost certainly arrive damaged and subsequently send you on the same customer service merry-go-round that I had to endure.
Update 3/14/10: I didn't have the time or a truck to go pick this up from Lowes and Sears was not offering the Premium version of the cabinet. I figured that it's not costing me anything to order this multiple times from Amazon so I decided that I was going to re-order the item and have them send me as many replacements as it takes to get it right. I was prepared to have one shipped 1-2x/week indefinitely if needed. Either one would eventually show up undamaged by random chance or it would cost Amazon so much money in shipping charges that eventually they would notice and ship it via alternative means. The first one (4th attempt overall) showed up obviously badly damaged again (major damage to sides of cabinet) so was refused and taken back by UPS. The replacement (5th attempt overall) was shipped Fed Ex overnight and was left *upside down* on our front porch despite labels on all sides saying "This Side Up" and "Do Not Ship Horizontally". This one had two minor dents on the bottom edge of the cabinet. After banging these out with a hammer and turning the cabinet right side up, these are not noticeable so I've decided to keep this one. AGAIN: This is a great item and I give the cabinet 5-Stars for quality but you'll have to keep the shipping issues in mind if you decide to order it from Amazon.
