PRICE MATCHING POLICY
We offer the best price we can to all customers all the time. Please keep in mind we are not a major big box store and cannot compete on the level of others who are selling at / or below cost.

For these reasons and because we are a small family business, we DO NOT offer any price matching of any local or online sellers. However, we offer first class friendly customer service and reliable support if you need help.
