BUYER BEWARE OF GARRETT WADE. I bought Garrett Wade's Ultra Tough Hose Reel, within weeks the hose burst in several areas. The hose itself was weak throughout. I contacted GW and sent them pictures of their faulty product. They said to return it and they would review it to see if they would offer a refund. Once the hose reel was returned they said they couldn't issue a refund because it was returned, "dirty, broken, and used". Their product, that they sell BROKE, while IN USE. I don't know if they expected me to clean and fix their faulty product, but it's entirely unacceptable to not stand behind their items. It has been a fight ever since. They offered a replacement, but who wants a replacement of a junky product? I'd rather eat the cost rather than deal with them again. They also continue to remove my reviews from their site. Again, BUYER BEWARE OF GARRETT WADE.
WEnt on the web site and bought a steel pan, Looked nice and figured it would serve my needs. Tapped the button to buy and *pow* my $$ disappeared...Got a reply that it would ship"soon" yeah,right...No shipping confirmation after about a week, Went to the Garrett-Wade web site, No help there. Said I didn't make an order. Tried a couple of times and same result...Tried calling...futile effort, Seems everyone was out cooking in my new pan... Waited a couple weeks and the pan finally showed up, Third party shipper from their warehouse...As a side note: The pan is as advertised and works well.
Was about to give up on repairing my kitchen's wooded trash bin when I found the perfect tool for holding the wooden lid frame while the glue dried. Worked like a charm and very easy to use. Have used it on other framing projects now that I have the right tool.

Dear Jerry,
How nice to hear how pleased you are with our products and our service! It's our genuine pleasure to bring these unique items to our customers, and to offer further assistance when needed. Thanks very much for your thoughtful review!
Got into this site looking at wood cutting tools. I stumbled on to waffle maker, looked good, wife's birthday coming up, breakfast is always an adventure.
Actual waffle maker is a nice package. Can get away from freezer waffles, unless we have extras.
I would like it to be about one more row around of the nubbies, yielding a larger waffle. This is great, maybe another model.
Dear Loren,
Thanks for letting us know how much you like our items and in particular, the waffle maker! We hope you wife has a wonderful birthday and enjoys the waffles that you will be making for her. That's an excellent suggestion and one we will certainly consider. We truly appreciate your taking the time to post such a thoughtful review!
They have an excellent return policy, great customer service that responds to your inquiries in a timely manner! I had bought an item that I had used that didn't work as well as I had hoped. I wasn't sure if I could still return it, even though it was within the 90 days return period. Sure enough, Garrett Wade accepted the return and refunded my full purchase price! Also, all the items I ordered from them have always arrived as scheduled, in perfect condition and ready to use. Will continue to order from them as needed.

My wife is an avid gardener. Garrett Wade has many things that Gardners covet and use frequently. Not only is their selection vast, their service is top notch and shipping is fast! I f I need a gift for my wife, Garrett Wade is usually where I start looking! (plus the Jewelry store, ha!)
Dear Rick,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience here with others. And for being such a terrific customer. We hope you have a plentiful harvest season!
2nd purchase from GW.
Did not receive a confirmation email to 2nd order, which made tracking/receiving difficult, but customer service made everything good in the end.
Must have been a glitch.
I left a negative review in the midst of frustration in trying to locate my purchase.
Ultimately, good products and good customer service.
Bumps in the road happen and they handled it well.
Thank you GW Team.
Dear Katyln,
Thank you so much for your order and your patience. And also for taking the time to write such a nice and thoughtful review. We're sorry that there were some issues but we're happy to hear that it was all straightened out for you. We truly appreciate your loyalty!
I purchased a few items for a barn project and everything is just so darn good! Check out is easy and everything arrived in secure packaging and in a reasonable time frame. I'm a very satisfied customer.
Dear Robert,
We're delighted to hear it all went well and are very pleased to hear how much you like our products! Thank you for your order and taking the time to leave us such a nice review.
Garrett Wade sent me the incorrect item and refused to correct it or issue refund until compliance with their return systems. They specifically offered a free version for the inconvenience but that turned out to mean that the item I had already paid for could be sent. I followed up with multiple genuine reviews on items purchased from Garrett Wade, in light of my very poor experience with their customer service, but those were never made publicly available, my refund was mysteriously never processed and email correspondence went ignored. When I tried to speak with them on the phone I was 'disconnected'. This is a company that clearly spends more effort on their marketing than quality, customer service and integrity.
Dear Aaron,
We're very sorry to hear of the disappointing customer service that you received. Can you please write to me directly at susanm@garrettwade? We would like to have someone call you to resolve this for you as soon as possible and will need a good phone number where you can be reached. Thank you so much.
GW offers our family a variety of tools and accessories beyond what is available at big box home improvement stores, or even specialty hobby or gardening outlets. Many of their available tools source from quality providers in the USA and worldwide, rather than being sourced from mass producers of lower quality and less innovative designs.
The online catalog is easy to access and survey what is available for a hobby, gardening or home project. And, orders are promptly properly packaged and shipped.
The invoicing process was straightforward and pricing or discounts properly applied. Customer service is responsive should any issues arise.
Dear Michael, Thank you so very much for your wonderful review. We're very happy to hear everything went well, and that you are pleased with our products.
I've made many purchases lately. Every item has been of highest quality at very reasonable price. Some things I've never seen anywhere else. Shipping is always prompt. I thoroughly enjoy dealing with GW.
Great price, fast delivery, good product. Shopping online with this firm has been a long time good experience for well over 25 years. Garrett-Wade never disappoints a customer. Excellent service, unique products, fair pricing.
Thank you so much for being our longtime customer, Jim! And for stopping by to let us know it went well. We truly appreciate your loyalty and your taking the time to post a review.
Unique selection of products in GW catalog. I'm hoping the German made safety goggles are a hit with my son- they look so cool and are well made. Just he needs for his copper etching hobby...
Dear Karin,
Thank you so much for your order and for your thoughtful review! We hope that your son will be very happy with the German-Made Safety Goggles. Your feedback is much appreciated!
I've long known that the right tool is half the job and GW offers the best tools around, a great variety and often surprises with new ideas. It's, by far, my favorite store when it comes to finding what I need to fix things and spend time resting from my other obligations in life.
I purchased a weed puller from Garrett Wade and as usual, it was a flawless transaction. I got a great tool at an excellent value and it arrived ahead of schedule. I have never had any problem with GW... so I cannot share any first hand knowledge about their customer service dept. No doubt in my mind that they are excellent as well.
We truly appreciate your sharing your experience, Richard! We're so glad to hear that it all went well. We hope you will be very happy with all the items you purchase from us. It's our pleasure to serve you.
Garrett Wade sells a wide array of very high quality tools, leather and canvas items for craftsmen and gardeners. I've been very pleased with my purchases and interactions with them. Gardening is so much more satisfying when one has good tools that work well.
Purchasing with Garrett Wade was a breeze and I found these doormats at a very reasonable price. The mats themselves are extremely effective at scrubbing off any debris on your shoes and seem very durable. One caveat is that they are fairly light and slide around a bit. I suggest placing them in a boot tray or other means of keeping them in place.
Thank you very much for stopping by to share your thoughts, Dennis! We're pleased you like the mats. Thank you also for your suggestion about keeping them in place. We truly appreciate your taking the time to post.
Site is simple and clear. Products are obviously evaluated by the company--nothin cheesy, cheap, or trendy. The business end is as thoughtful as the products. Discounts are available allowing the months and years of my orders to provide free shipping plus an additional award (without having to meet a price target each time I fall for another item.)
Dear Candida, thank you so very much for your wonderful review! We're pleased to hear how much you enjoy your purchases and that the ordering process went smoothly. Your stopping by here to share your thoughts and experieince with others is much appreciated!
My Husband and I both, have purchased many products from Garrett Wade over the years. We have never had to return a single item. Most of our purchases we view as being "generational". We will be able to pass them on to future family members because, the quality is so good (so refreshing). Everyone at GW, who we have had contact with, have been very friendly, helpful and have gone above and beyond to ensure we are delighted with their products,service and Company...WE ARE!
Thank you so much for taking the time to post your thoughtful review here, Kathleen! Especially during this very busy time of year. We're delighted to hear you enjoy our products and truly appreciate your sharing your experience. Happy Holidays!

Dear Donald,
Thank you very much for your order. We're sincerely sorry that it took so long to reach you. At the time, our shipper was experiencing a logistics issue which has since been resolved. We will be looking into why you were not informed on the shipping confirmation, and also why no one was able to assist you at our 1-800-221-2942 phone number. Since your package was late and you did not receive satisfactory assistance, we have issued a credit on shipping which should appear on your statement within the next 3 business days. Please accept our sincerest apologies.
