"Chevpac has given me a really mixed experience. I originally bough a used lathe of them, it was going to be my first lathe. I went down to check out the lathe, and the guy there called sid was amazing, he showed me everything I need to know, and was honest about its value and what it needed. I won the auction and went to go pick it up a few days later. Just as they where moving it out, they dropped it off the forklift and basically destroyed the machin. these things do happen but it would have been nice if they where a bit more careful. Sid again was great, he showed me what he recommended I did and what ild need and found a the right machine for me. I've noticed a few of their products are a bit higher price than very similar offerings from machinery house, but the extra accessories and service in helping me pick made it worthwhile, especially for a new guy who was just starting out. So far the lathe has been of good quality for a Chinese lathe. Chevpac also has a much greater range of products, so sometimes it beats machinery house out on that. I would like to see an system for getting shipping costs and and paying with card, as is standard most of the time. Right now I have placed an order and have waited over a week for a reply, nothing on the phone either since I need to pay by card."

"Staff had large disagreement/physical fight in store about a forklift yelling and swearing. Told eight items in stock couldn't find any of them. You get what you pay for with their gear (low end china quality) but there should be a set level of decorum and presentation bough to customers. Want some quick bits but definitely would go out of my way importing items from oz than using chevpac again. Their team just didn't even have the ball let alone being able to drop it."

"Ordered a powersaw blade off their website, was expecting to get a normal courier price and pay by credit card. Instead the order gets submitted and someone has to manually get in contact, which seems a bit absurd in this day and age of ecommerce. Anyways, I get a call the next day stating that they only sell the blades in packs of 10. Why list individual blades if you are only going to sell them by the 10? A bit of a waste of time really, not sure I would try again in future."
