Their hours of availability is perfect and have been so helpful with any questions I have. We went over every option and all while educating my mother about each product and every function. The people were so patient with my mother, with me and with us both on the phone, multiple phone calls! Every time they were so helpful, patient and very informative. She ordered/swapped the kiln a second time but realized at that point she was going to include me to ensure I was gonna receive the kiln I really wanted. Luckily the company offered to swap out the kiln and with a discount to something that was currently in stock and would be a fraction of the time to ship. We quickly realized the original kiln that my mom had ordered, did not reach the temperatures I needed and the shipping was much longer than expected. First of all I cannot say enough about this business/company and their customer support/service, they are amazing! So it started off as a surprise but quickly turned into a group effort in purchasing this kiln.
