Paid 2x for expediting, waited 2x as long for arrival. Still waiting. Never again.
I ordered 3 IV bags of subcutaneous fluids and 3 sets of tubing on 13 December. This was a repeat order for a condition that has been consistent since May. I made the order a week in advance of need and paid for expedited shipping just in case. I am still waiting for the order to arrive on 20 December. Tracking the packages (it was shipped in 2 shipments) was confusing. I received a mail on 17 December announcing that the order was shipped. Though this was rather late--why would it take 4 days?--I awaited its arrival... and am still waiting. Then yesterday I received another mail announcing shipment--a full 6 business days since the placement of the order. When I called customer service, I was told that it would not arrive until Saturday (23 December) at the earliest. When I asked why it took the company's pharmacy so long to approve a repeat order (7 months on the system), I was given excuses about the Rx and faxes, backlog of orders, and other irrelevant details that were unrelated to my order. With no useful customer service input on the side of KV, I suggested that they overnight a set at their expense. I was put on hold and then told that even if they were to do such a thing, it wouldn't arrive until 23.12 OR THE FOLLOWING WEEK. This means I will need to make an emergency visit to the vet in order to pay twice as much for a sub-q set as I wait for this order to arrive who-knows-when. All this, after paying extra for faster shipping. So I will not be patronizing KV Supply in the future and instead will be buying from Valley Vet Supply, from whom I have not experienced these issues. The only reason I ordered from KV this round was due to slightly cheaper prices; in the end the cost of shipping, the cost of buying from the clinic, and the investment of time chasing these things down makes this a far more expensive order.
