I ordered some cans of textured rust encapsulator and I needed some help. Danielle J was quick and very helpful in making sure everything was right and meeting expectations. Service likes this makes me feel confident that I can keep coming back for more Eastwood products.
I purchased an Eastwood Mig 180 right before Christmas. In January, Eastwood started selling the Mig 180 with the spool gun included for the same price. I spoke to a customer service rep about sending a spool gun which was now included for the price I paid. She was very nice and forwarded my request to the "Team." Unfortunately, the team didn't care about making it right. I will no longer do business with Eastwood but keep getting bombarded with emails and texts wanting me to buy more.

Danielle J answered all my questions quickly and professionally. Eastwood's customer service is fantastic. In addition their prices are fair and their warranties beat the competition. I highly recommend them.

An item, purchased through Amazon, was returned for a refund via UPS.
The item was received by Eastwood, (as tracked by UPS) and my money was refunded.
A year later they are about to send my "unpaid bill" to a collection agency?
I called the company and there was a mix up related to Amazon returns. The customer service rep took care of it immediately and they agreed it was an error on their part. Phew! Things like this happen from time to time but they were quick to set things right.
Tip for consumers:
Keep track of EVERYTHING you do with the company. A year later they may come backing looking for money for an item you returned!!
Products used:
None, item was returned.
Thank you Don for your review. We appreciate your understanding in the mistake. Once again sorry about the mix up.
Today I contacted Eastwood and was transferred to a very nice and helpful lady named Summer S. She was great to talk to, very informative, thought outside the box to help take care of my needs, and was very considerate and understanding with the reason for me needing a replacement machine ASAP since mine burnt up. She definitely helped smooth over the dropped ball on the Eastwood Customer service departments behalf, and made me feel much more comfortable doing business with Eastwood for in the future. I have ordered 2 welders, and hundreds of dollar with of consumables and parts from Eastwood at any given time. Eastwood you need to read this, she IS the reason you will be having a returning customer, thank Summer for earning my business for you, because up until this point you had lost me as a lifetime customer. Thank you again Summer, you did everything you could have and I APPRECIATE YOU!
I have made a few purchases and have been satisfied. I was not satisfied with the last product and posted a review. The review was rejected as not meeting their website guidelines. I read the guide and violated no guideline. I just gave a non-favorable review. This makes me question their entire review process. How can I trust it if negative reviews are filtered out.

Hello Dave! Very sorry for the inconvenience! The system can reject reviews if it doesn't like a word or phrase mistakenly. If we can have some additional information we love to look into it.
I want to sincerely express my appreciation for the level of customer service that James provided. I recently inherited a vintage vise and needed to obtain a base that would fit. Websites do not list any base dimensions; however, James at Eastwood was able to identify a base that would fit by taking the time to go into the warehouse to measure several different bases to find a match. Customer service at this level is very hard to find snd i am truly appreciative of the service James provided and for Eastwood in allowing this level of support. Great company!, Thank you James!
Ordered item. Waited along time for item to ship. Guess what? Item was cancelled. Don't waste your time trying to order here... Wish I had read the reviews on other sites before trying to order! After talking to my colleagues, they also had similar experiences last year unfortunately.
Tip for consumers:
Don't waste your time with this company hoping to actually receive the items you order.
Unfortunately due to a manufacturer error with sourcing materials, we had to make the tough call to cancel a product. While not an easy choice, we felt it was in the best interests of our customers rather than continue to hold reservations for a product that would have an indefinite wait. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and appreciate your understanding. Thank you
The customer service team at Eastwood, with particular commendation to Brianna, have demonstrated outstanding resolve in addressing our product shipment and delivery concerns. We are pleased to acknowledge their exceptional performance, which speaks to Eastwood's commitment to excellence in customer service. Their efforts have reinforced our confidence in the company's service delivery and we are grateful for their support.
Item ordered, looked like good buy. Talked to support very helpful. Shipment on way and expected two days.
I purchased a bench vice one year ago directly from the manufacturer, Yost. Apparently Yost sold or gave control of their vice benches to The Eastwood Company. I called Eastwood hoping to get some help with a warranty issue on my product that's less than one year old. The tech support person confessed that they haven't even "seen" the product and only offer assistance to purchases made from them, not Yost! My advice... stay clear of Eastwood!

Ordered a spool gun for a mig135,175. I had just purchased a used Eastwood mig 135. Well it doesn't work with my 135. Spool gun is round 4 pin connector and my welder is 2 spade connectors. First email got a reply that she would find out which spool gun I needed an we could return the one I purchased. I've sent over 5 emails and posted message on Facebook page. No replies back even said if I needed a adapter to allow it to work let me know.
I will be contacting my bank to cancel the payment for the spool gun. Maybe then you will talk to me.
Very angry customer would have left 0 star's if I could.
Tip for consumers:
I would not have purchased a used Eastwood welder accept that it was matched with the spool gun I purchased from Eastwood.

After investigating, the wrong spool gun was purchased for the version MIG135 the customer owns. A return for refund is required at this point and a call (for faster assistance as emails are delayed by up to 3 days per the auto-response message sent to all customers) to our Technical Support team can assist with selecting the correct spool gun before a purchase is made
Eastwood provided top notch service to me on an item a few weeks ago. I had an issue in the online purchasing department but a quick phone call the next morning lands me with Brianna C. Who took care of my issue in minutes and also I feel went above the call of duty and replied shortly after or call in an email with some information and products they support. Great job and a great experience in buying online. I will be dealing with Eastwood again in the future for my resto needs.

This is unbelievable poor customer service. Poor website function, ZERO communication, zero accountability and no attempt to correct or fix THEIR issues. This company has no problem failing on order, billing, delivery and communication but they will hold customers 100% responsible for every failing they have. NEVER AGAIN will they get a penny. Prismatic Powders has never pulled this garbage.

Bought a full quarter panel from Eastwood for $697 dollars. It is advertised as an AMD panel, which is high quality, made in USA and, rightfully costs about $600 to $700. What I received was an "X-Panel", that AMD also sells at a much lower price ($399) that is made in China. This is false advertising, fraud, price gauging and just down right dishonest. I paid more for a high quality product, and got sent the lower quality product at the same price. NEVER again will I trust this company.
Hi James! We are so sorry to hear this happened. The AMD panels ship directly from the vendor (AMD) and this appears to be a situation where they shipped the wrong part out to you. If you haven't done so already, please contact us privately to get this sorted. Thank you!

First time costumer, I order a product on February 25 "product was on stock" I sent an email wondering about my order they never got back to me until I had to call on March 5 they told me the product was on back order that's why it was taking longer I would not order a product that was not on stock since I needed asp. And I read the cancellation policy they have pretty much u won't get that money back and just wait till they decide to ship your order this was horrific never ordering from this business again
Tip for consumers:
I don’t recommend it

Hi Alberto, we apologise for the confusion allow us to explain the cancellation policy - once an order is placed because we focus on fast shipping orders typically cannot be canceled once it has begun processing. As the item you ordered is not in stock it has not started processing and can be canceled. Please reach out to our customer support and we can take care of that for you!
Had a minor issue with the online order process but Leah C. Got my order on track. Very efficient and pleasant. Thank you.

Lots of ordering issues. I didn't receive the correct items and had to pay out of pocket to send them back. Coupons seem to be a scam. Coupons are accepted but make no change in the order total. Even the coupons they sent me. After my first experience with Eastwood, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

Hi Todd, We are very sorry for the inconvenience. Regrettably, the order did not meet the requirements of the coupon preventing it from being applied to the order. Additionally are sorry for any confusion related to the order - we shipped exactly what was listed on the online order we received, and no changes were made to the order.
Melanie M. From customer service/ support was SO nice. Easy to speak with. VERY knowledgeable about these equipment. I would MOST definitely recommend Eastwood products to my friends & family.
