They indeed have the "Best Things" now, thanks to them, so do I.

by ekimdnalrad, January 17, 2006
I found this site supplied very fine products of the highest quality. I had been searching for special carving tools and was having little luck finding a variety from which to choose until I found The Best Things. Because I needed these in a hurry, I called and spoke with Lee who was very knowledgeable and helpful. As a result found not only what I was searching for but some additional related items which I also purchased.

Great Customer Service!

by speedray, January 4, 2006
Customer Service was great. When you call, you actually get a real person! They were out of stock on something I ordered and gave me a direct personal phone call to let me know. After that, I changed my order twice before it shipped, and they were very helpful and repackaged my order to give me exactly what I wanted. I was very pleased & will shop there again.

My experience was as one should expect from a first class operation: fast and accurate.

by mike1022, December 30, 2005
My order was placed on a Tuesday morning. I received it on Thursday afternoon with ground shipment. Who can ask for faster service and delivery. In addition, the order was exactly as I placed it and the prices were cheaper than comparable websites. I am definitely going to be a repeat customer

EXCELLENT and PROFESSIONAL service and merchandise

by doublehelix528, December 22, 2005
EXCELLENT Service provider and IMMEDIATE shipping. I had tried to obtain this Nikon charger from several other online and brick-and-mortar sellers. However, it was always Out-of-Stock and/or backordered. The Best Things Online Store had what I needed, at a better price than the Out-of-Stock sellers, and shipped it immediately. Customer service and purchase follow-up was exceptional. I will use The Best Things Online Store again for my electronic needs.

Exceptional - everything!

by blakehall, December 21, 2005
I found this company through a search on Google and took a gamble that things would work out OK. I am amazed! The price for the pen I ordered was the lowest I found on the net. The pen was shipped the same day of the order. I was notified by e-mail when the order was shipped [with the tracking number] and it arrived a day ahead of schedule on December 21st. I would rate this company a 10 out of 10 [10 being the best] on every category.
I'll go back and buy again, I am sure I will be treated as well next time!

Thumbs up!

by hypecast, December 13, 2005
I had a good experience here. There was a *slight* problem that they took care of immediately. Part of my order was damaged in shipping and they had a replacement in the mail pronto. I really appreciated their customer service. It's hard to come by these days. Good prices, too, plus I think they'll match a better price if you find it. I'd shop here again.

Excellent quality, prices, speed & service

by maf127, November 30, 2005
This was my first order with The Best Things. I was surprised to find they had such discounted prices on the items I was interested in (woodworking tools). I placed an inquiry at the time of my order & received a prompt, courteous call from their customer service dept. Customer service was extremely helpful and handled a couple of changes to my order without any delay in shipping. Everything arrived much quicker than I expected. I've done a few hundred online transactions with a variety of vendors and The Best Things is definitely top-notch in all regards.

by razorstone, October 10, 2005
My order with them was completely satisfactory. The product was actually better than what I was expecting. The delivery time was excellent and they were also very polite. The price of the item was actually lower than anywhere that I looked. They actually email you when you email them.

An excellent experience

by manu10, September 23, 2005
I ordered a Parker Pen with this merchant on September 20, 2005 with a three-day UPS delivery option. They took almost 24 hours to send me an Email with a tracking number. The delivery was scheduled for September 26. On September 23, I happily received my pen. I am ready to place another order with Best Things. They have the best price for Parker Pens

First choice for high quality hand tools at great prices

by adgodwin919, August 25, 2005
For top quality hand tools, like Sorby chisels and Lie Nielsen wood planes, The Best Things is my first choice. They offer great products with highly competitive pricing and prompt delivery and service. I will be ordering from them again.

I was very, very pleased with the whole thing.

by ssalih, August 19, 2005
I would rate my shopping experience at The Best Things as excellent. I highly recommended. I was charged only the listed price, not a cent more; I was sent exactly what I ordered, and the item came really fast: I ordered it today, I got it the next day. The customer service representative was very friendly and professional. That's why I would love doing business with this company again.

Great product, price, service and delivery!

by charlesp, August 6, 2005
I recently ordered a turning tool from The Best Things and was delighted by the experience. The item was exactly what it was supposed to be. The price far exceeded competitors' offerings, so much so that I expected a knock-off, which it was NOT. Service was excellent, delivery was rapid, and I plan to order all turning tools from them in the future. GREAT SITE!

Fast service, good e-mail communication, interesting selection.

by earlgrey, July 30, 2005
I will not repeat the common comments in most of the other reviews here, except to say I got very fast service with my one order with these folks - they shipped the day after I ordered, and I ordered in the evening.

I will disagree with the point made by the lead reviewer that these guys are mainly good only for their specialty - antiques - and you are probably better off with the big boys for mass market products. I find this often not the case. I bought a knife set for about 25% less than the amazon price, shipping included. I am buying today an appliance for 15% less. I have seen other such examples.

I also appreciate the care with which they select what they will carry. I will certainly check this site in the future before making buying decisions.

I found The Best Things by going to Google and typing in Sabatier carbon steel knives. The Best Things had listed all sizes of the knives which I wanted. I called their toll free number just to check. Went back to their web site and ordered 2 knives. Their email response was fast, delivery was just as promised. The knives are perfect. I plan to order more.

I made major order(s) with them for my woodworking plane collection and found the customer service to be excellent. Additionally, the products were perfect, delivered in a timely manner and follow-up is great.
I would continue to buy from them, however, I have ordered all of the products that they carry that I am interested in. I hope they get some new wood plane lines that interest me so that I can continue to do business with them.
Best of luck and take care of Jodie if you order from The Best Things.

The Best Things customer service was excellent! When I ordered my product (Rotatrim Pro 54" Paper Cutter) I asked lots of questions from how long have they been in business to very detailed questions about my purchase. She was helpful, friendly and very patient with me. My order shipped very quickly and arrived packaged professionally. I am so happy that I can order products on-line with "the best things" and feel reassured they will "DELIVER".

well prepared and protected, for a modest shipping fee of $6.00. The company is a pleasure to deal with.

Keep returning to purchase new wood working tools from "The Best Things" because of the reasonable price, fair shipping costs and well packaged and handles tools. The more you look the more you will come to realize the vast selection of hand tools that is offered by "The Best Things" is difficult at best, to find any where else. If you are looking for top shelf hand tools, eather new or vintage, save your self some time and check with "The Best Things" first.
