I used to buy from Kellyco when we had a member that posted on this site. I could ask questions, get advice, and it seemed like a friendly personal service.

They shipped quickly, and sold good products.

I guess that they just grew a little too much.

Chinese crap- ton's of Chinese crap listed as hundreds of dollars worth of FREE stuff with your purchase. (it's crap)

I got tired of the crap, even if it's Free. (which it's really not, just added into the price of other stuff) and we no longer have a representative on this site.

So- something happened. Something changed. Free Chinese crap, and tons of spam. I can't delete all the crap spam they keep sending me. The more I request to get off their mailing list, the more crap they send me to buy more crap. Kellyco has turned into crap.

Just saying...

(I've since been purchasing from our local sponsors and am happy with them, as long as they don't sell crap and spam me to death)

Check out my post Buyer Beware. Notice the reply from Kellyco. Notice the excuse for not sponsoring TNet. Then look at the guys profile. 14 posts!?! And almost all of them are nothing but a sales rep doing damage control, no other participation on TNet. This last dealing with Kellyco has put me off them for good! They aren't the only game in town even if they think they are......

It's the same old song and dance from KC, but they NEVER fix them problem of lousy phone reps. The only conclusion is that this is how they want it to be. It's sooooo wonderful that there is a company rep here to personally fix our problems isn't it. But we, as forum members, are less than 1% of their customers. So just think of all the customers getting screwed who don't get help. I have seen so many people come here as a first time member just because KC screwed them and they are looking to vent.

But year after year, the excuse stays the same and problem never goes away.
