“Satisfaction Galore”

Tom H.
12/26/17

The items I ordered were on sale with free shipping and they were delivered quickly and as advertised. I was totally happy with this order, a 3-pack of cigarette lighters and three plastic packs of cigarette lighter wicks with flint. The lighters were made in China but look and work like Zippo's at less than half the price of Zippo's. I use them as fire starter survival tools not for cigarettes. Happy trails.

“False promise”

Rob H.

The product was delivered but customer service promised me a refund on the shipping since you have the promo in a much smaller font it's barely noticeable. I saw it after the order was placed and told it would be refunded after i had to call. Then i was told a second time the same thing after calling again a week later still no shipping refund. Not impressed with your integrity and will let those who buy from you know about your customer service.

They advertise a Baofeng two way radio for % 56.99 ( with no battery charger) I got the exact same thing off Amazon for $ 23.00! I f you see something you like in their catalog, do an internet search before you send this company any money!

I've been getting emails from CH Kadels about their sales & promos throughout the holiday season. They've had awsome sales all season long, on things that make great gifts! So, I've placed about 5 orders total just for Christmas. Everything was delivered quickly, service was always great, I did contact customer service regarding 1 order I had a question about, & they were easy to understand, spoke clearly, & in English very well, & were able to fully answer my questions. I'll be doing more shopping from Kadels in the future!

Verified purchase

Do not notify customer of proper charge for order. Mis-leading customer regarding shipping by not indicating shipping on order. BUYER BEWARE! Then tell customer order can not be cancelled when it did not process for over 24 hours! Poor business and customer practice of misleading customer. Will update pending refusal/return process. I expect item will "not be received on return" per seller.

Tip for consumers:
Caution, seller will invoice total and add $$40+ for "taxes,shipping,adminstrative fee, what ever else they can stick it to customer.

One of the things that I purchased was a round stock belt for my 12 Ga. I saw the same thing at Big 5 and it was twice what I paid for it, and\ with no shipping charge that was icing on the cake. I also purchased double aught buck shot that is hard to find.

I have purchased quite a few items from CH Kadels and have never been disappointed. The quality always out-surpasses the cost of the items! I always shop here first when in need of something special, thank you!

Extremely pleased so far with my order. I don't know if I'm more excited for Christmas morning to watch my hubby open this gift or my kids open their gifts. I'm so happy with this order I'm getting my boys each a subscription for their birthdays! Thank you so much!

Prompt, good prices. The plastic GI imitation spoons are a little small and do not appear very sturdy. The metal GI spoons are not military surplus and are not as sturdy as the mil surplus, plus I believe the description said they came with a carabiner to keep them altogether but the carabiner did not arrive with the spoons. Otherwise, I'm happy.

Quality products. Surprisingly inexpensive. Shipping and handling even over the holiday season was often free or a simple fixed rate. I have made several orders in recent weeks. Courteous customer service. Family loves gifts from ChKadels.

The survival tools purchased add to my growing arsenal of supplies and are of better quality than I anticipated. Delivery was timely and very much appreciated.

I had laced an order from CH KADELS, they sent me, 3 items that, I did, order but also, sent me six items that, I Did Not Order. When I called to request the Return package, be picked up on my, front porch, I was told that, I would have to to a UPS or Fedex and ship the Return package myself. I explained that I am disabled, and that all other businesses have returned packages on the front porch, that is the decent way to do business. The CH KADELS customer service lady, pretended that she could not hear me, and hung up. Not only is CH KADELS DISHONEST BY SENDING ME MERCHANDISE THAT I DID NOT ORDER BUT, THEY ADD INSULT TO INJURY BY HAVING ME, GO OUT OF MY WAY TO FIND A PLACE TO SHIP THIS UNWANTED MERCHANDISE BACK TO THEM. CH KADELS is a Sleezy business at best. I Will See You on my public page at
Facebook.

I have shopped C. H. Kadels for years - mostly oddball but useful stuff I was happy with until my last two orders regarding item description v. s. what I actually received. My first inkling was a "Kabar" spork - looked full sized in the ad but what came looked like it would fit right in at an infant's tea setting. Waterproof lighters were waterproof but leaked fluid that in turn burned the skin under my pocket - all imported cheap junk. Ordered the Dietz lantern "cooker". "Lantern will also cook!" "will burn 23 hrs. On 17 oz.#camp fuel#. Now to me camp fuel means either Coleman fuel or white gas. Pulled lantern from box - no instructions whatsoever regarding fuel type but something tells me nothing this flimsy and light could use "surestart" without blowing up. I pull up the lantern on two different sites and sure enough, use K1 kerosene or standard lamp oil - other sites also advertise heating up food or water - not "cooking". Pity the po foo who is unfamiliar with lanterns and fuel types who does put camp fuel in it - do I hear a lawsuit in the making? Will not be ordering anything with moving parts or possibilities of being burned alive by following the ads from these clowns anymore. My order #P******* was from the spring 2019 catalogue #CSP115, pgs. 41, 50, 51, 3.

They send the same items over and over and when you order a mystery bag the items inside are not worth the shipping price.
