All things considered

All things considered, my order arrived in perfect shape and within enough time that I did not have to short ship customers. Thank you for your diligence.

Hello Mark,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the lack of communication regarding your request to expedite shipping. When a customer lets us know they need an order as soon as possible, they should receive a timely response from our team. We recognize that we should have contacted you regarding your request, discussed the available shipping options, and confirmed how you wanted to proceed before processing the order.

We understand how frustrating it can be when expectations are not met, and we appreciate you sharing your feedback. Your comments have been shared with our team so we can improve our order review process and ensure customers receive timely communication in situations like this moving forward.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to address this concern, and we apologize again for the inconvenience. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.

Tried to order some products

Tried to order some products. Cart said there wasn’t enough of 2 items I needed to complete my order. Called to speak with CS directly. Agent I spoke with sounded like it was her first day on the job. Come to find out, there was more than enough items in stock to complete my order. At first I was told I had to order more of one item as it was only available in single case size (270 units). I only needed 175 units. Was then told I didn’t have to order 270 units and could get 175 instead. My time is valuable and I shouldn’t have to waste it talking to someone when your sire should work properly and not give misleading error messages that aren’t true.

I had expected an order of empty totes by Thursday, Friday 7/17/2026 the latest.

I got a tracking number that did not work. Now it's been stated that I MIGHT get a new tracking number by Monday, 7/20/2026.

This was unacceptable and completely ruined the schedule for the task I was trying to accomplish on a multimillion dollar project, and now the customer wants money back due to the delayed timeline.

Hello Stephen,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you experienced with your recent order. We understand how critical timely deliveries are, and we deeply regret that we fell short of your expectations.

After reviewing the shipment with our logistics team, we found that the carrier was unable to complete the scheduled pickup on Thursday, resulting in the shipment being picked up on Friday instead. We understand the impact this had on your project and sincerely regret the disruption it caused.

We also understand how frustrating it must have been to receive tracking information that did not provide the visibility you needed throughout the process. Clear and accurate communication is an important part of the customer experience, and we recognize that we fell short in that regard as well.

We take feedback like this seriously and are reviewing our shipment processes with our carriers, as well as our tracking communications internally, to help prevent similar situations in the future. If there is anything we can do to assist with this order or future shipments, our team would be happy to help. Our goal is to be a reliable partner for our customers, and we appreciate you bringing this experience to our attention.

Thank you,

Your company had the exact product that I needed, and a great price too! Shipping was fast and was packaged well. The Cary Company will be my go to source for Black Plastic Ink containers from now on. I have been using these containers for almost 25 years to store my Naz Dar UV Ink, but my Supplier was bought out and the new Supplier doesn't carry the UV Ink Containers anymore. I still screen print a lot of Decals and I'm very happy that I still ca get what I need.
