Storm Island – Ketchikan, AK – Dealt only with Kristen. Very professional, knowledgeable, and “nice” – nice is as important as it gets.

He has foreseen problems in printing orders and gives me great solutions to them.

I couldn't be happier with the services available from your company that Nathan has introduced me too.

He helped me put together most of the brackets, shelving, hardware and also researched and found me great acrylic bins, a custom riser and display items to make our new gift shop work well...

He's awesome and like I've already mentioned, he's a great representative of your company and his great customer service is one of the reasons I keep doing business with American Retail Supply!

The Khaki Star – Colorado Springs, CO – I would like to thank you for the outstanding customer service I’ve received as a small business owner over the last year. I would especially like to thank you for the recent service I received from Donna Hanzlicek.

I usually ask your staff when I call in my orders to duplicate what I placed the previous month. Upon receiving my order I noticed one of my items was the wrong size. I called Donna and mentioned the problem and she quickly offered several times to correct the order. I declined because it was not a big deal. I simply wanted to make sure that the item was correct in the system insuring that I wouldn’t bet the wrong size when I placed another order. A few days later I received an “apology” letter from Donna. The times in which we live, I was astonished at the care Donna had for me as a customer. You have no idea how that letter made me feel as though I was your largest customer. Donna deserves to be commended for the dedication she has to customer service. Your employees are always a pleasure to deal with. Thank you.

I appreciate your marketing tips very much and have learned a lot from them. You also have some of the most courteous employees in the business to deal with.

I have customers even order the coffee for themselves as home use, so pays to give away quality. Thank you for your help.

The Sycamore Tree – Baker City, OR - I read and enjoyed the article about you and your store in this month's issue of Country Business. I saw in the article that one of the first changes to your "new" business was to institute a POS program. I was just curious if you would mind sharing the POS system you use and any thoughts about using a POS. We are a relatively small retailer (2500 sq feet) in a highly seasonal area and are looking at installing a POS to help with inventory and profit control. However, I have many sleepless nights thinking that could be our worst nightmare! If you have time, I would really appreciate any experiences (positive or negative) you had when choosing and installing your POS and which system you are using.

Thanks so much in advance!

Latah Creek Wine Cellar – Mike Conway - "American Retail did more for me in the past three months than the competitor did in the past three years"

Latah Creek Wine Cellars - Spokane, WA - I wanted to let you know that your tech support department for our POS system is the absolute best I have experienced ever. They are very knowledgeable and willing to help with any issue. In fact, we did a minor Microsoft software update last month that prevented us from being able to get into our Wine Club Manager (a Microsoft RMS add-in developed, sold, and supported by E ***** program purchased from E ****** a few years ago. After talking with their tech support for about an hour with no resolve (the new software update apparently installed a few password encryptions which prevented me from being able to get into Wine Club Manager), I was about ready to give up. Even though WCM was their product, they did not have an answer for the problem. I was told they would work on it and get back to me once their development people have a chance to play with it. As a last resort, I called American Retail Supply people and within 3 minutes they logged into my computer and fixed the problem. Thank you.
