Should i have just ordered from Inzer?
2 wks tomorrow i ordered a inzer single prong belt and it hasnt arrived yet. I did get a conformation from them but no tracking number, just a shipping #. Should i wait till during the week to call/email them? Is this normal due to the holidays?
Thanks

There are a lot of people that complain about House of Pain, but I got my belt right away, in like 3 days. It may be because it is just after the holidays. I ordered mine in the summer.

I placed my order with HoP on Dec 12th.
I did not receive said order until Jan 9th...
Standard black 13mm Inzer lever belt.
Had I known about the BS going on behind the scenes, I would have ordered elsewhere.
On the plus side, the belt is awesome!On the road to 1250

im gonna call b.s. on that one
ordered a belt from inzer the 31st, had it by the 14th, although i am sure it arrived sooner but it was a birthday present so i don't know the exact date
if you got a standard black belt you inzer should have it in stock almost always
i would call inzer and ask how many of the style syze and color you ordered are in stockgym lifts/competition lifts

For inzer just say you need it right away. I think I got a belt in 3 days from them (shipped same day)
HOP I never use because I bought a singlet from them and it was hideous. Also the name.
Why not by from Quest? They carry Inzer stuff and are amazing.
-edit, saw they don't have the belt, nvm. Try them first next time though771/645/622 Single Ply

I just called Inzer and they said they aren't busy at all and orders are going to be ready very quickly.

I am currently in an ongoing saga with these bastards right now.
Cliffs:
Order Inzer 2.0 Grippers the first week of December
Receive 2.0 Inzer Z wraps on December 13
Call that day and change order to 2.5 Grippers, pay the $8 difference and mail them back at my expense
Call back January 3rd to check status....2.5 Grippers are out of stock...they are waiting on Inzer
Called them today and was told they were still out of stock becasue Inzer is out of stock.
Ask "If I call Inzer right now will they not have the 2.5's"...that is correct sir
Call Inzer and 2.5's are in stock
Call House of Pain for a refund but they do not want to refund the original shipping charge
Call ended by them saying the President of the Company will call me back

My belt was finally shipped and is coming on tuesday. Since i sent my email ive received literally 3 different emails. They seemed to have a handle on what was going on, UPS was taking a while or some bs. They apologized many times throughout the emails aswell. Prob wouldnt buy from them again...when i order some wrist wraps itll be directly from inzer.

Sounds like House of Pain is not keeping inventory anymore, which used to be the advantage of ordering from them when they had a more efficient logistics team. This is typical when a company changes ownership - the new owners would probably rather have cash than inventory and since they are a re-seller they are now using their supplier as their inventory, which significantly impacts their ability to deliver for their customers.
I do not have any first hand experience with HOP but based on the recent reviews I would avoid them and just order direct from Inzer.
Anyone who has had a negative experience I would try to research who these new owners are and post up some specific contact information here so that people can effectively follow-up to get refunds or expedite their orders being filled.

And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else".Pro Strongman & Former National Champion
