"If you need help with something from Rapids, call instead of live chat! I had an order for new beer faucets that was going on over a week with no updates and decided to call customer service. 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 got this knife as a gift a year ago for my son. He is a produce manager at Stop & Shop. He loves this knife and uses it daily. He lost his and asked me to get him a replacement. My son is very happy and he is a perfectionist."

"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."

"I had been looking for a set of parmesan cheese and pepper flake shakers everywhere. I finally found them on Rapids Wholesale Equipment. It was like finding hidden treasure! They were so inexpensive I couldn't believe the price, but ordered them thinking they might not be what I wanted. They came quickly and they are perfect. I will be looking for more items there now. Thank you for this great find!"
