I've been put of gardiners by the amount of stuff that's posted on here
The only reason you see anything on here is that it is widely known Alex frequents here and deals with a lot of posts directly and promptly, he is the only supplier brave enough to do that, hence, people post here.
Another reason is, I would imagine his pole sales outstrip his competitors at a huge ratio, 5:1? 10:1? Who knows, but the volume will also see more posts about Gardiners than any others.
Personally been using Gardiners for years, and will only ever use them. Why? Firstly, the product is the best out there, secondly, customer service.
