    Ordered two Florian ratcheting garden shears from Illinois Supply Company (billed to an address in ********, **) on August 9, 2023 for $113.90 ($56.95 per pair); this was paid to the company on 21 August 2023. Roughly one month later received one pair of shears. As other people on BBB have complained as well, I sought a telephone number on website to call to indicate that two pairs should have been sent, but no phone number exists. Therefore I sent an email on September 14 indicating the mistake and requesting the second pair of shears be sent to my address. No response and no shears. I sent follow-up emails requesting the shears or a refund of $56.95 on Feb. 2, 2024 and again on March 13 2024. The company provided no response to any of my emails, nor did they try to call. I ordered these pruning shears on the advice of my mother, who has been using them for a long time with no problems regarding ordering or use. Given the other complaints on the BBB website about this company, I wish to warn others about doing business with Illinois Supply Company in *********, IL for Florian garden tools. Whatever has happened to this company in the past years has not been for the best--stay away!

    Transaction date: 10/10/2022 Purchase price: $199.88 4 Racheting pruners, each costing $49.95 After purchase and not receiving the pruners, I went to call the company to find that there is only a "contact us" page, which I filled out. No reply. I hadn't noticed that there was no tracking number on the e-receipt. These clipper exist on Amazon. (And are cheaper, but I hate Amazon.)
