Default Good things about Holbren.

Their order fulfillment and shipping are fast, fast, fast. I placed an order late last Friday and received it today. That means that they pretty much had to have had it in the mail Saturday.

There's not many things I hate worse than a company taking 3 or 4 days to even process and ship an order.

Those other companies just want you to think they're really, really busy...

I will too from now on. Of course it's 2 hours away but beats the crap out of waiting 2 weeks for your stuff.

In the future you might just be able to call a buddy who might stock levelers.

Hindsight being 20/20 I would have just used Woodcraft's even though they weren't as sturdy.

You should see that new Ace going in near the girls' school. They've put a lot of money into it.
