I have been doing business with Modern Group for over 20 years. I have worked closely with Parts Managers, Don in Edison and Steve in Wilkes Barre as well as Diana in Accounting in Bristol. Each of these individuals are extraordinarily well qualified and bring a level of excellence not frequently found in my experience. Modern is my go to company for all things lift truck related.

BEWARE! Modern Group doesn't honor website pricing! Very Bad business practice! Gave them one star because zero wasn't an option! I ordered a part on a Friday then Monday received an email stating the following: Quote: "Pricing incorrect on the web site. It has been corrected. Part is also not available. Lead time estimated at least six weeks out".
The lead time was of no concern to me! They then tell me along with an apology "If you want to, you'll need to order the part again through the Modern Shop". What a complete joke! I was hesitant to even place an order with this bunch after reading all the negative reviews but regretfully did anyway. Never again! I now see all the negs are true. They should have at least had the common courtesy to honor the price that was stated on their website.
And if they're too incompetent to post the right prices they shouldn't have a website. This shows me that you're just a number to them and they could care less about you as a person. Oh and as of when I wrote this review, the price had NOT been changed on their website! I checked to see what the new price was and it is still the same, lol! I'm sure if they respond to this they'll try to turn it around and act as if they were helping me by canceling my order, lol, or how they value customers amongst other BS. Don't buy it folks. Take your hard earned money somewhere where you are appreciated!

I've dealt with Ron on many occasions. He's always easy to get ahold of and always gets what I need in a timely fashion unlike Vermeer North Atlantic who treat their customers like Vermeer is the only game in town. Bandit is the only people that I will do business with from this day forward. I highly recommend Modern Equipment!
