If I could give a negative number I would. I ordered a roof cover for my Polaris EFI 570 Ranger and they sent me the roof for a 900. They admitted to their mistake in the order and yet charged me $50 dollars to send it back. I reordered the roof part again the zipper broke on the first day right after it was put on. I called them and told them about the zipper and they say I have to wait to see if they will give me a full refund! I would run away from this company and go somewhere else with a reputable business name, even if the cost is higher.

1st and Last Experience
December 17, 2020

Like many of us did I ordered a CB from them that they had offered for $8. Having never heard of them let alone ordered from them I jumped at it thinking it could be a "Black Friday" type deal. Within 24hrs I was sent an email stating they could not fulfill the order come to find out it was a pricing error on their end. Not only am I disappointed that I won't be receiving the CB but they are still holding my money hostage... even after they contacted me with FB messages and I sent photos along with order number. Sad that a company can't stand by their pricing nor give people their money back.

Ordered a tool the 25th of November. It still says processing everybody acts like it'll be soon, and they just tell you what you want to hear and honestly, they don't care. It's been weeks and they are awful to deal with. Even if it's more expensive buy elsewhere.

Service Sucks!
August 30, 2018

Purchased a post hole auger back in November used once, still under warranty, went to the store for repair was asked to come back in one week to drop off, they were 3 weeks behind, if I come back in one week then you will be 4 weeks behind, manager Robert Bruch got snotty, made the statement"Ya'll got all the answers" talking about me/us the customer. He finally said you can leave it but we want look at it for 3 weeks. I ask for his managers number after hesitation he gave me a number scratched on one of his business cards. I AM DONE!

Bought a Item# ******* 8 gallon tank sprayer with one year extended warranty. The pump failed on second use. Called Northern Tool and was directed to their warranty service group Centricity (outsourced) which is not connected to Northern Tool. Was on hold for over 40 minutes on one call and over 30min on another call. Still no relief. Have called and emailed Northern several times with the same result - call Centricity. This was a $69 purchase and Northern Tool has ruined their business with me over a small thing that could have been resolved with a stroke of a key on their keyboard. I will purposefully avoid any dealing with Northern Tool or Centricity ever again. Better products are available at Harbor Freight. At least they take care of their customers!

My review is based on my first and last experience with Northern Tool. Please beware. They cancelled my order without notifying me that the card was denied. I called card customer service and it was never declined as Northern Tool and Equipment claimed. Now I have no product and I am left empty handed! Buyer beware.

Lost and going down
December 23, 2020

Number #1 in business... make it easy for your customers to do business with you. NT goes out of their way to make things hard, especially if you order anything online. I spent over $1200 with NT in 2020 and never had a order go smoothly. Gift cards CAN NOT be used online to pick up orders in a local store... WTF? Two large items I ordered online were finally delivered over 60 days from order... 60 DAYS! Also, try to get the online price in your local store - disaster. Exception pricing sheets have to be filled out for EVERY ITEM that has a different sales price. This company deserves to be put down and all customers saved from having to deal with an F-rated company.

Ordered scaffolding 3 weeks ago and am still waiting. To make things worse I called to verify and was told it was on the truck waiting to ship out so I ordered another section. My second order was delivered over a week ago. Every time I call to find out a status I get nothing but lies from customer service.

I ordered a planar combo for $600 which was supposed to be delivered by this past Wednesday. When I called after 30 minutes of holding, they told me that it was back ordered for another month. I asked them to cancel my order and I was assured that they would. Two days later I get a call saying it's still on it's way. Wont get it for at least another week, and if I dont want it, I have to refuse delivery and lose 15% of my money to a restocking fee. I thought I was dealing with a reputable company but their customer service and attention to detail has been negligible. They couldn't even provide a tracking number for this order.
