Tools and Hardware Reviews of Triton WRC001 41-Inch Tall by 4-6-Feet Wide by 12-13/16-Inch Deep Wall Mounted Woodrack
Customer Review: Great Product - Horrible Packaging!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have to start out that I really like this product. I have been using it for a couple of months and for anyone that does even a little woodworking, this is a real time saver for getting both your scrap and stock wood organized and easy to sort through.
With that said, there is really no way that they can get this to you in one piece. Like most people, I read the reviews that said that his had bad packaging and ordered it anyway assuming that the problem had been corrected or that I would get lucky. No such luck!
The first shipment of this product had an actual piece of the product protruding out of the box. UPS had taped the parts in place outside of the box & it was a real work of art. When I opened the box, all of the hardware was missing and several other pieces were missing. Amazon replaced the product and the second try for this product was a little better. Between the two shipments, I hatched together enough pieces to put the thing together. Ok, I actually had to make a run to the hardware store to replace some missing screws.
Little did I know, my fun on this item had just begun. Even though the problem with packaging is clearly an issue, you will be responsible for finding a new box (the original one is useless) and returning the remnants of the broken shipment back for credit. Finding a box that is this big and getting it back to a shipping company is a chore. You should keep this in mind before buying this item here.
Great Product, Horrible Packaging and the trouble will be all yours!
Customer Review: Lousy Packaging
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the worst packaging I have ever seen in any product I have bought, and I have purchased lots of things from Amazon with rarely any problems. I just received my replacement shipment for the first damaged shipment. The second shipment was even more damaged and more parts missing/broken. There is absolutely no packing in the box, leaving 15 pounds of metal bars to rattle around and pretty much destroy the flimsy box. Both boxes were open upon delivery. Once might be a fluke; twice is inexcusable. And it sounds like others have experienced the same thing. I'm done with this particular company.Customer Review: Triton Wood Rack Packaging and Shipping Problems
Summary: 4 Stars
The Triton Wood Rack is well designed and reasonably priced. I purchased three of these wood racks, and the total cost was less than a competitor's lumber storage system. I purchased three wood racks so I could handle lumber longer than 8 feet. The one problem I ran into with this product was the packaging and shipping. The painted parts are packaged against each other, so almost every painted part arrived with scratches, scrapes and gouges. I believe this damage was caused by the shipping process. These wood racks are shipped in the manufacturer's original box. These boxes are not meant to be shipping containers. They are meant to be display boxes. All three boxes broke open during shipping, and one box lost the bag of mounting hardware. Amazon was quick to send a replacement wood rack. The replacement wood rack also broke open during shipping. The bag of mounting hardware was not lost, but three of the twelve shelf pieces were missing, and as with the three previously shipped wood racks, most of the painted parts were scratched, scraped or gouged. If these wood racks were shipped inside a corrugated cardboard box with air bags, none of the damage would have occurred. Everything else I have purchased from Amazon, has always been packaged in corrugated cardboard boxes with air bags. I don't understand why these Triton Wood Racks are sent with no protection.Customer Review: Well worth the cost!
Summary: 5 Stars
This rack is well worth the price, in that it is as advertised and more. This item is well built and very simple to assemble and easy to mount. I placed my rack on 2X4 studs (4ft centers) affixed to a wood ceiling beam in my basement workshop. Using 4 ft centers provide good support for 8 ft material. I plan on placing a second unit on the opposite side of the studs. It's amazing how much material this racks holds. Material racks are not that difficult to make from scratch, however to make one as good as this, you will end up spending more for your materials then the Triton costs.
