Elk Ridge Reamer Rentals???

[papapaul]

Does anybody do business with Elk Ridge reamer Rentals? I went on-line, rented a reamer, got an order confirmation by email, and then, a day later somebody called me and wanted to raise the rental $20. Is this a scam? I can't imagine not being able to rent something at the advertised price, providing you had it to rent. So, does he not own the reamers he advertised? Is he crooked? Not very smart? I sold on the internet for 10 years. It is the most unforgiving and consumer oriented venue there is. You can't scam the customers and stay in business. If you want to raise prices you need to do it in advance. If you make a minor mistake you eat it and drive-on. Also, everybody's on-line with the same stuff. Your minor increase prices you out of the market. You can't expect your customers to understand. They had a choice.

P.S. I'm PO'd. That reamer should have been here today. Now, I'm waiting to see if this guy is going to honor his order confirmation or not, then I'll have to order a reamer from somebody else.

I have rented a few without problems. But, the price I was charged was I think 4 bucks more than what their website shows.

Reamer Rental

Reamer rental is like a crap shoot. I suggest you call Kathleen, Ashley, or Melina at PT&G. Dave Kiff's girls are pretty darn good at getting you a first class reamer. Have them send you a print before it is made that will clear up any issues.

I rented one a few weeks ago for my 260 AI project. Came in on time, as priced and without any problems...........couldn't be happier.

Not everyone can afford to buy a new reamer for a one time use.

I have rented from them a few times and the reamer was always on time and clean and sharp. Price was as advertised. Couldn't have been esiar. Did you mention the error to them? Sometimes things get changed and people on the phone are not aware of the changes made to the website.

Sometimes web sites don't get updated on a regular basis. I've seen lots of web sites where the prices listed aren't current with what the company is presently charging. They usually cover themselves with the "prices subject to change" statement somewhere on the web site. I haven't looked at Elk Ridge's web site in a long time as I very seldom ever rent reamers so don't know whether that applies to them or not. I have rented a reamer or two from them and there wasn't any problem with the reamer that I rented or pricing either.
