TESTIMONIALS
“Just wanted to reach out to highlight one of our vest orders recently. A little back story, we had a recent order that ran into a delay on CDCR’s side which caused a fair amount of stress here as we needed those vests for the incoming academy. I ended up reaching out on February 5, 2025, to Griffin Forsyth and Christian Peters to see if they could get us some of our common size vests even as a partial shipment. The overall total number of vests we purchased was 221. Much to our surprise, on February 27, 2025, we received ALL vests. Christian and his team have been very responsive and helpful from the transition to the new company and continue to work very hard to get us what we need. Just thought I would let someone know and if there is anyone else who may want to know this information, please pass it along.”
~Correctional Sergeant, California Department of Corrections (CDCR)“Thank you for all the help you have provided us with on this abnormally large order. Your team has done a great job for us!”
~California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR)“I know I have told Griffin before, but Andrew is a stellar customer service advocate. He time and time again has provided excellent options and instant feedback. Thank you very much for all of Black Box Safety support and thank you to Andrew for his consistent support.”
~California Military Department (CMD)“The company is truly remarkable! Their customer support throughout the entire purchasing process was outstanding. The team members were well-informed and consistently went above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction at every stage. Their dedication and willingness to go the extra mile made a significant difference. We are grateful for their exceptional service and expertise”.
