I was looking for a Camelbak Thermobak 3l to replace the one I had that was worn out. Looking on line I saw that Botach Tactical had the cheapest price by far. Even with shipping it was less than $30.

I had been tempted to order from them before but never went through with it because of all the bad reviews. This time I was feeling generous and thought that even if I lost my money I wasn't out much.

I ordered on Easter Sunday and received it today. I admit that today I was beginning to think that perhaps the order wasn't coming even though I had emails saying that it had been shipped. But when I got home, there was a note on my door that UPS had been by.

The Camelbak was brand new and looks great. Who knows, I might even be tempted to order something in the $50 range next time. :)

So did I when I ordered from them. However one to the swiss tech tools I got was defective. I couldn't get an answer of any reply or response from their customer service when I emailed or called them. I do not order from them anymore. I also deleted them from my browser bookmarks.

I've considered buying from them in the past, but too many problems from users here (and other places) has made me spend my money elsewhere.

I have a Camelback Rebel (2L). The threads on the filling reservoir got worn to a point that it would leak all over when the pack was laid down. I ended up emailing Camelback CS and explained what happenend. I sent the bladder in and 2 weeks later I had a new one. No charge.
Since you live in Tucson (as do I), I would recommend going to SummitHut or Sports Authority for that kind of thing. Yes, you will pay a little more, but there are benefits to spending $5 more for a little piece of mind.

Ummm.... is this a review about a GADGET or GEAR, or is this talking about the GOOD the BAD and the UGLY of dealings with merchants?

The difference between human beings and other animals is that other animals are limited to learning from their own experiences, while human beings can learn from the experiences of others, by listening and reading. Except ... some humans aren't really any better than other animals after all....
 
Ordered some boots from Botach. The same story about them having the cheapest prices. Did not receive anything for more than a month.
I called the customer service line several times and left messages with the assurance that all calls will be returned. I wrote emails asking if the order was still in process and that I needed these boots and wanted to make sure my order was still out there. Another couple of weeks go by with no return calls or emails. I order the boots from someone else. Guess what, Botach came through (no communication at all) and I have two pairs of brand new boots.
 
No, it's ...
