    Arrived today, faster than FedEx predicted. Box is quite a bit smaller than I expected and the welder itself, minus the cables, isn't much larger than my lunchbox from grade school. Won't have an opportunity to fire it up right away but totally expect it to exceed my expectations like my other two ARCCAPTAIN machines. Will update after first use.

    Ordering my welder from Arccaptain was a smooth experience. However, there was a small hiccup, I had not received a Tracking number for my order, which at first, made me a bit uneasy; but, after contacting Arccaptain’s customer service, they were quick to respond with a tracking number. The welder arrived soon after.

    Arrived sooner than I thought however I didn't receive any information on when it would arrive nor anything stating that it had already gotten here and I have no idea how long it sat on my front porch because we were not expecting it this soon and we're out of town my concern was that I'm happy that the porch pirates didn't get it. But I am pleased with my welder. So notifying people would be very helpful so that arrangements could be made in the future that if I'm not home I would have someone else looking out for it there was no tracking no emails no notification of any kind.

    Thank you for asking. I’m a retired HVAC contractor , I’m 74 years old and I know quality when I see it. The welding hood is the most comfortable easy to use and helps with a quality weld. The welding machine is still in the box but the U tube review was good enough for me. I will be using it soon.
    I’m also a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. My prayers get answered most of the time. I help students who have low grades, after prayer their learning ability improves enough some call it Gods power to change. Their memory is unlocked, then they have instant recall. Their reading improves to the point the students are changed and start liking to read. Also in prayer panic and depression leaves I’m telling you about some of the things I do so you may contact me for personal needs and for prayer
