Goodbye HHF.com...hello DHH.com...

In another thread I reported about my unfortunate experience with HydraulicHoseFittings.com...there have been other complaints as well...including a recent thread in this forum.

A while back I orded a couple things from DiscountHydraulicHose.com and it came real fast...actually since we are in the same state I thought it came the next day, under standard UPS shipping, but guessed that could not have been the case and that my memory was failing me again...

So yesterday I placed a relatively large order (for me) consisting of 11 hoses with fittings on the ends, and a whole bunch of adapters.

What arrives today? A box with 90% of my order inside!

Now I guess I could complain a little, as I told the guy I was not in a great hurry and could wait until the order was totally filled before they shipped anything, to save a little on shipping costs, but still...after waiting a month for nothing from the other vendor, I have to say, this place looks pretty good.

They ALWAYS ANSWER THE PHONE. They faxed me a confirmation of my order (within minutes of my hanging up the phone) so I could check it BEFORE I gave them the credit card number.

Just wanted to give a heads up on what seems to be a good place to order fittings and hose. I think the prices are even cheaper than that OTHER place...

They have done right by me (2 for 2) as far as I am concerned. I am glad they shipped what the did, it will give me a head start if we get some more warm weather. I can't complain.

Probably worth checking this place out if you need hydraulic hose or fittings at a reasonable price. Seems to be working for me! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Henro,
Can you still remember what your project was, or are you sitting there looking at a big pile of parts and wondering why you ordered them?

Henro knows what he's doing but I suspect that he likes to pace himself when it comes to work related projects. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Good to hear you're getting the service you deserve Henro. Of course, the real question now is what are you doing with 11 new hydraulic hoses? A hydraulically powered ROPS drill? Hydraulically operated remote controls to operate two tractors from one? Hydraulic toilet flush?

Cliff and GerardC,

You are pretty right on there. It took me a LONG morning to go over what I wanted to accomplish and make sure I was ordering what I needed/wanted/knew before but wasn't sure now/right stuff...you got it right! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 but I suspect that he likes to pace himself when it comes to work related projects. 

PineRidge, now you are sounding like my wife again. She would have put the period after the word "work" though... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 Of course, the real question now is what are you doing with 11 new hydraulic hoses? 

RobS, I'm going to cut some of them in half, naturally! That way I will end up with 17 hoses (with the aid of reusable ends) for use in my T&T project, which really has turned out to be never ending... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
