  I ordered 2 sets of Bulwark coveralls from these guys. It was nothing but confusion from the start. On my first trip there, I specified the coverall I wanted. I gave the lady the exact Bulwark product number and size that I needed. Im a large guy, so i knew there was gonna be some kind of up charge for sizing & some sort of lead time to get the size i needed. I was told that management would contact me once they verified pricing. That never happened. Since I never heard from them, I stopped by a second time a week later to see what was going on. I was told they had made contact, but didn't have any information. Again, I was told someone would contact me. Still never got a call, so I stopped by a third time to see what was going on. Finally, the order had been placed. It was explained to me that it took three weeks to place the order because this particular didn't have a credit card to use to place the order, so it had to be placed by another store. I was also given a price that each coverall was going to cost. But, due to the lead time, I was told again that someone would contact me to give me an idea when they were gonna be in. Guess what, I never got that call either. Three months after my initial visit, I did finally get a call that the coveralls had arrived & I needed to come pick them up. Coveralls were exactly what I had ordered. But, the price i was charged was $100 per coverall more than what I was told. When I brought this to their attention, I was told that was a pretty standard price. When I asked why I was told a different number, there was just a blank expression. They asked who I had dealt with, & I had no answer because I never got that phone call from the manager like I was told I was supposed to. The only people I ever dealt with were the checkout staff. If I didn't need these things for work & hadn't already waited as long as I had, I would've walked out the door & let them eat the cost for these things. But as it stands now, I'm the one who got screwed over. I don't even mind spending the money on things that are worth it like good safety gear, but why can't you just be up front about the cost. Needless to say, this place has received it's last dollar from me. To everyone else just be aware of these kinds of unethical business practices.
