Order not received, zero customer support Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I needed some special hardware for my antenna installation. No one else seemed to have it, so I placed the order despite the bad reviews here. Mistake!

To keep this short: (a) order never received. (b) No USPS tracking data. (c) Calling by phone is a waste of time--I only got voicemail and never got a reply. (d) Meanwhile, my antenna installation was delayed for a month and a half due to non-receipt of needed parts.

I finally referred the matter to my credit card company to reverse the charge on my card.

Stood by shipment Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I recently bought an antenna from these folks. It was delayed by Fedex for over a week. I knew something was wrong. When it got here I see that Fedex had repackaged it and it was badly damaged. I sent photos to ARS and they sent me another. So no complaints here.

Fast shipping. Great quality Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I ordered 450 Ohm 16 gauge copper clad ladder line, #13 copper clad wire, a W1FFL ladder lock and two porcelain egg insulators in the evening. The order shipped next day and arrived in two days. Very fast!

I built a new ZS6BKW antenna and it is performing very well.

Not sure what issues others had with this company but my experience was very good. I would definitely do business with Amateur Radio Supplies again.

Great Prices + Fast Shipping! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I needed a small quantity of 450-ohm ladder line and a couple of SO-239 connectors. My order was placed on 5/18, and the package arrived today, 5/21. You can't beat that. The ladder line is a good quality JSC product, and the connectors look a lot better than some I've seen.

The prices were very reasonable and ordering was easy. I can't explain the uneven ratings, but I certainly have no complaints. If ARS has what I need, I'll definitely buy from them again.

Good experience Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I ordered an item from the website last Monday. A couple minutes later I got an email acknowledging my order. A couple hours later I got an email saying my order had shipped. Two days later I received the item, USPS Priority Mail, in good order.

Horrible service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Don’t order from them if you care to have your order within a month. They do not inform you, or list on their website when they are out of stock. And a couple weeks later when I emailed them to see what he hold up was they informed me that my order hasn’t shipped yet becasue they haven’t had two items on my order in over a month. And did not know when They were going to receive them. I asked for them to ship the other items or cancel the order because I did not want to wait another month for the other half. And I got an email saying it was canceled and sent to the accountant. Now I get to wait on my refund. It isn’t hard to automate inventory. And an unknown shipping date is unacceptable. Davis RF and this Mickey Mouse sister company will not get any of my business again.

Excellent service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This is the second order I made with Amateur Radio Supplies in the past six months. I was very pleased with the service and quality of products. I ordered several items on Monday and received all on Friday. The coax products are manufactured by Davis, which makes an excellent product. Reading some of the earlier reviews makes me wonder whether Management of the company has changed.

Good experience Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I wanted to add a favorable review in contrast to a number of very poor reviews. I placed an order for some 450 ohm ladder line and flex-weave antenna wire back on November 28th, 2016. It shipped on 11/30 and was delivered to my door on 12/2. The order was complete. No problems at all.

American Radio Supply Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Bad vendor! No customer communication, shipping is terrible. I ordered two items that were common connectors and supposedly "in stock", received one in a few weeks and the other one is still not delivered, it's almost a full month. Don't purchase from these guys unless you want to wait forever to get your parts. Their website may be attractive but don't let that fool you, go somewhere else!
