Can anyone recommend a prompt and reliable online welding supplier or is what I am experiencing with Baker's Welding and Gas typical of the online welding supply retailers?
I have a couple of orders pending with Baker's and they have not been honest with me about availability and shipping time. Apparently they just order what I order from the manufacturer and when everything comes in, ship it on to me. They're great with the automated "Thanks for your order" emails, yada-yada, but one order was placed two weeks ago and they are still waiting on manufacturers to ship my items to them. In calling their customer service three time I got a different story each time. This last time they offered to ship quicker if they could substitute items - TIG gloves and arc welding electrodes - but I declined because I ordered what I wanted.
I'm in a small town about an hour and a half from any metro area where the local welding gas supplier's main business is running a private garbage pickup service - they have a relationship with Mississippi Welding and I can order supplies online through MS welding and they will drop off my order at the local place but their prices are substantially higher and their options are more limited than most places.
Thanks - I just want to get welding!!!!
