I order a LOT from ETA Hand2Mind I order a LOT from ETA Hand2Mind. They have great prices - particularly for their Cuisenaire rods. Because I order in the quantities that I do (at least 100 C-rod sets a year), there's inevitably going to be some manipulatives that come in with some sort of flaw (but this is a small fraction). ETA is good about fixing these issues when they do arise and making things right. That, and their prices, are a big reason I keep coming back.

When calling to order merchandise or … When calling to order merchandise or online ordering it is fast and easy. We usually get our orders right away with no mistakes.

In the age of free two-day shipping … In the age of free two-day shipping from Amazon and Walmart, it took a full two weeks for my order of "in stock" items to arrive. The product is fine, but the shipping reminds me of the pony express. Also, was no ability for me to track the shipment.

While the selection of products is … While the selection of products is exceptional and inspiring, I was less than pleased with two things: my order took much longer to arrive than I'd been led to believe, and it arrived in not very good condition! The boxes were squashed, and the inflated plastic inside which was supposed to protect the items had lost air. The corner of one hard-cover book was bent as were several of its sectional tabs plus it's cover was dented, and the corners of two soft-covered books were also bent. The plastic insert designed to hold the Bar masses in place was fully disintegrated, causing the pieces to be chipped and scratched. The algebra workmat corners were all bent. Much more care and thought needs to be taken in shipping items that are in packaging designed to be displayed on a store shelf rather than shipped! UPDATE: ETA HAS BEEN VERY ACCOMMODATING IN TRYING TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES: THEY'VE GIVEN ME A CREDIT FOR THE BAR MASSES AND FOR SHIPPING, AND ARE SENDING A REPLACEMENT SET OF BAR MASSES - FREE OF CHARGE. (I'D SAID I CAN LIVE WITH THE BENT BOOK CORNERS...) EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. :-)

Horrible horrible horrible service Horrible horrible horrible service! Never told me that the item I ordered was on back order and I would be waiting almost 2 months! After calling several times and leaving messages sending emails I finally called again and got a person to answer, I gave them the order information and they told me that my order was on my way and would be here that week! Still waiting and I have not received anything will never be ordering from this company again! They never email you a confirmation that the order has been shipped so you don’t have a tracking number you don’t get anything from them on your order not even if they ship it out! Most disgusting company ever!
