    Jared - Customer service is as high as they come

    OK So I gotta tell you guys - I decided to purchase a new asym insulated UQP from Jared. I place my order late last night 9/2. By 7 am 9/3 I receive an email stating order was received and in the que. I contact him and ask for a late change to add a couple UQ tieouts to mate with my Sparrow. He emails back in less than 5 minutes that yes he can but needs to know where to place them. SSOoooo... I email Randy (DH) asking the location of the UQ tieouts on the hammock. Randy then responds within 5 minutes with the required info. I then email Jared back with said info and he responds immediately and I am good to go. This all before 7:30 this morning. To continue, I get home from work and have an email waiting stating the work is just about done and should be in the mail tonight. TONIGHT!!!!!
    Unbelievable. I have always valued our, yes our, Cottage Vendors but this is simply beyond anything I would have expected. I am blown away. Jared has just earned another loyal customer.
    BY the way Kudos to Randy as well, another outstanding Vendor - but that is a different thread.

    jared is the quickest vendor around that makes custom stuff and to top it all off I think it's just him doing all the work. yes randy is awesome also

    welcome to SLD's way of doing things.

    Can't do anything except agree wholeheartedly. I'm very happy with my Trail Lair and the experience of buying and customising it.
    The only downside is that I know there's a winter haven in my future.

    I'll add to this as he's not only fast, does great work but he's a great guy. I'd recommend if you need any hammock equipment "you'd better go to Jareds"

    I placed my first order with him on Labor Day for a pillow. A small order to be sure.

    I placed the order on Labor Day at 8:18pm -- and got the shipping notification back from him at 9:20pm!!!!! 1 hour and 2 minutes for a custom order -- that's crazy fast.

    Amazing service. I'm looking forward to ordering a tarp from him in the near future.

    As fine as so many of the forum cottage vendors are,...IMO, and obviously many others here, Jared IS the leader of the pack in every aspect of this industry. My shopping experiences with him mirror everything, and I mean everything, that's continually being written about him. If Jared has it in his stock/inventory, or is willing to make it, I too will continue to shop with him exclusively. No deliberate offense is intended to any person or business, this is just my personal perspective from first-hand experiences.
