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.
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.
This now the third time i've ordered from Garrett Wade and in all three cases the item ends up not being in stock and takes 30 - 60 days to get the item. This time they offered a free item with the purchase. I got the free item today and when I called about the rest of the order they said they were expecting it stock in 2 - 3 weeks. What really got me angry about this, is that because they sent me the free promotional item, they charged my credit card for the shipping. I could get nowhere with the customer service dept. as she keep saying that "this is the way we do it here". Charging me the $15 shipping when all they sent was the freebee really is giving them my money to spend for the next 30 - 60 days. When I said I would send back the free item because I didn't want to be charged until I got the item I ordered she said they couldn't take the item back. This is clearly a way for them get money without sending you what you ordered. Be careful with this company. I've now got three experiences where they didn't have what they said they have and now they are in my mind fraudulently taking my money.
I have subsequently been working with Orin Fraser at Garrett Wade and he's admitted to the mistake being made and has made the issue right in my mind. Thanks to Orin for fixing the issue.

We have ordered 3 individual times from Garret Wade and are extremely happy with our experience and quality products.
Easy, breezy to purchase on line and quick delivery with great packaging to protect the item I purchased.
The loppers are well-built as described. Although the price may seem high, they appear to be worth the money and should last a long time.
We're very happy that you love the loppers, Charles! Thanks for taking the time to let us know. We hope you enjoy many good years with them!
We enjoy paging through the Garrett Wade catalog, and found an ideal product to enlarge the print: a thick magnifier. It works like a charm.
I bought the hand pruner and gouge chisel. Both of them are quality tools very well made and a pleasure to use. Shipping was fast too.

Easy to navigate the site. Nice to have a flat rate shipping option. Lacked delivery information that it was on the way.
