Alan was very kind and understanding over the phone, even working with me to offer higher-quality faucets at a lower cost to fit into both my urgent timeframe and budget! The whole call took less than 10 minutes and I was extremely appreciative. Will definitely buy from Rapids again!"

"I had accidently purchased the wrong lid for the container that I ordered.  Spoke to Yvonne P. over the live chat that the website has.  She was able to find the correct lid and send it to me for free. No hoops to jump through, no questions, no issues, very easy and quick.  Great customer service."
