EDIT - After speaking with the owner of the company (on a Saturday morning, outside of business hours) it was discovered that there were numerous missteps with our small order. He did apologize and made it right. In this day and age that says a lot about the integrity of this company. This review went from us giving a 1 star and never wanting to do business with Kinter again to a 5 star and we will work with them again, simply because the owner stepped up and was willing to use common sense, put eyes on the situation and have a conversation with us. Turns out they do really care about their customers. ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW Although the products ordered from the company are fine, the way they do business in unacceptable and on the verge of criminal.
I would suggest to everyone to stay as far away from this company as possible. We made a small order of 2 different products that was delivered by UPS and was charged over $180 for shipping (more than our actual product cost) I have never been charged that kind of shipping for 4 small packages in my life. We were never quoted a shipping cost and never given the opportunity to refuse the order, not knowing what shipping costs would be.
When we asked the company about the shipping costs we received a simple "refer to the bottom of the page and see that the order is FOB from our store". Once again we asked what shipping would be during our quote process. I gave this company 1 star because you HAVE to give something, but in reality, ZERO stars for this company, will never do business with them again. thank God there is other companies out there that still care about their customers and future business.

Kinter and Ryan Murphy in particular have always been a great partner to our organization. They are attentive, informative and well priced in the market with super-fast shipping. I won't name my previous supplier but Kinter runs circles around them. Well done, I look forward to working with you more in the future!

I would recommend Kinter 100%. They have the best customer service and in particular, Amanda Linkevich. She has saved us thousands of dollars over the years compared to the competition and has always been a pleasure to work with. They are responsive to all your needs and their product line never fails. Finding all you need in one place at a great price is such a time saver! Kinter is a pleasure to do business with.

Kinter has been our company's go-to source for retail signage and display hardware. Andrew has been fantastic to work with and is always happy to help when we are developing new signage solutions for our chain of retail stores. Their quick responses, fast ship times, and general desire to be helpful is a valuable asset.

The staff at Kinter has been great helping us get all the right stuff for our store. We are happy with the quality of products we have ordered and it helps keep our store looking very professional. The website is super easy to use and they are super quick at getting a quote for the product you are looking for. Ten stars all the way!

I've had nothing but excellent service from Amanda at K International. She goes out of her way to search for solutions for me. Their pricing always beats their competitors and the ordering process is fast, easy and correct. I can always count on my order being correct and arriving quickly. I contact Amanda direct and she provides pricing and lead time.it's so easy. I've moved all of my business to them for any item they can provide. I appreciate their great service!

Kinter has a large catalog of items available which is great when you're looking for quick off the shelf solutions. They are also able to provide custom solutions as well if needed. They have great customer service and their response time is great (Ryan is a pleasure to work with). I definitely recommend them for any retail projects small or large.
