Pricing was ok. Viewing of pages were somewhat difficult. Closest store approx. 200 miles, therefore free shipping would cost more than shipping to my address.

It's always been a good experience. One thing that should be changed is shipping costs. When I check shipping options, I get a quick delivery for $17, a later delivery for $9, and an even later one fo... See more

Do Not Order Online From Nothern Tool

I do not recommend ordering anything online from Northern Tool, because they're selling crap from others by taking your order for them, but abandoing you after the credit card is authorized. Northern Tool sells stuff on their website that they do not otherwise accept accountability/responsibility for. I mistakenly ordered two belts of the wrong size (part number was the same as a GATES belt, but shorter by 3 inches).
No more than 3 miinutes after I placed the online order I noticed the discrepancy, called Northern Tool and explained the problem, asking that the order be cancelled. They told me that the order was taken for another vendor, and out of their control!
Three minutes. I'm out $68.00, since to send them back would end up costing me more than just keeping them.

OK already that's enough

To start off with the delivery time was very punctual and very fast. I was surprisingly pleased about that. The only reason I didn't give you 5 stars was because of your chat option, I wasn't able to send the message cause there was no send/return tab to press. I needed information on how to return an item that was to large for me. Thankfully I called the# for professional help and this wonderful customer service agent named Kim was so gracious and helpful. She arranged everything for me to resolve my issue. And I love the jacket I bought (quality and price) so I would recommend northern tool in the future.

2500 Gal Containment Tank

Product was shipped directly from vendor so didn't have really good communication with trucking company for delivery instructions or very good delivery dates. On the flip side, the price was very good, shipping time was quick and a missing lid was replaced very expediently.

Easy & Straightforward

Everything was easy and straightforward. The only glitch was that I had entered my billing address when creating a login account but had to re-enter it when I checked out my purchase.

I ordered 2 jackets and they were never even shipped. Northern Tool has been completely worthless and has not refunded me. Now I'm out the money and jackets. You're better off ordering from eBay or Amazon instead of getting ripped off from these people.

It's always been a good experience

It's always been a good experience. One thing that should be changed is shipping costs. When I check shipping options, I get a quick delivery for $17, a later delivery for $9, and an even later one for $0. When I check out, the $0 shipping is only available if I spend $40 for a year of free shipping. A little deceptive.
