Greetings,

Has anyone had good success/ customer service / timely delivery, etc from Bingham Enterprises? They are in my neck of the woods, but I don't know much about them.

Thanks Scott,

I'm frustrated at the increasingly longer lead time and delivery from my current supplier.

Scott,

What is their inventory like? how often do you have back ordered items, and on those things, what is the average lead time?

Thanks

Inventory is pretty good. Get a BO for Fuji sometimes and it's hard to say with them on replenishment. Sometimes she doesn't have the St Croix I want, but she has it dropshipped directly.

I've dealt with Karen a very great deal over the last 10 years and have been more than satisfied. She is first class all the way.

Karen,

You are the best. You always take to time to return phone calls or reply to emails no matter how trivial. I have never felt rush when speaking with you on the phone even though I am surely not your only customer. You have always done for me whatever is within your control to satisfy my orders. You are a shining example of outstanding and excellent customers service.
