The picture and description of the #3546 Outrigger Wall Display are very misleading. They show many parts that do not come with the set, and do not clearly indicate that they are extra. Buyer beware!... See more

Rude

I was contacted by a very rude and indignant person regarding my order. I canceled it immediately.

When sending ink tape the lid and tightly package it. It came broken and dripping out the box onto my floors before I noticed it. The plastic pillows didn’t secure it.

Awesome!

Awesome!! I’ve been trying to find a bushel basket for forever. I was thrilled when I saw you had them on your website. I could not believe how budget friendly they were!! Most places are charging double for baskets that are NOT as good as what you offer. THANK YOU for the great customer service and I hope you continue to offer your baskets! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to share my experience.

Thank you so much for your order. We apologize for the damage and frustration. I see that you spoke with Natasha, and she discounted the damaged cash register stand. I sincerely hope we were able to provide you with a satisfactory solution to the situation. Thank you for taking your time to provide feedback.

Order arrived on time

Order arrived on time. Delivery driver was extra nice. He had to maneuver around lots of road construction in front of our business and still kept his sense of humor! Displays were easy to put together and look great.

Fast service

It was easy to order. One thing I was looking for after I ordered my carts is when they may show up. I was really surprised to find them on my front stairs the morning after I ordered them. I like the fast service.

Superb products and service

Purchased a complete set of Grid & Go Plus panels to upgrade my existing vending display ... They are fantastic, well-made products. In addition to the fact they fold in half, the removable feet are a game-changer for storage, transport, and setup on event day.

Customer service, however, is the real benefit to shopping with Specialty Store Services—they were quick to respond with recommendations and to rectify issues and I received my order within a week of confirmation. Highly recommended.

Very happy with my Specialty Store Services purchase and customer service experience.

Specialty Store Services is a great company to do business with. I was looking at the folding grid wall panels but was hesitant to make such a significant purchase based on online pictures/descriptions only. I called and spoke to Carl in customer service who made me more confident in buying the products by discussing them more fully and also explaining their company’s Customer Satisfaction Guarantee. He explained that I would get a full refund if I was unsatisfied but was very up-front and honest that the shipping back would be paid by me which is understandable. I bought four folding grid wall panels and I absolutely love them! Unfortunately, one of the panels had a manufacturing defect. I called the company and spoke to Beth in customer service who apologized and asked if I wanted a replacement or refund. I definitely wanted a replacement as, again, this is a great product. She asked me to email her pictures of the defect and she had a replacement grid wall panel shipped out the next day at no charge to me. This company has definitely stood by their promises and I will be using them in the future for any of my retail display needs. I’m a very happy customer!
