He also promised a call on Wed to confirm pickup on Thurs - which never came so I called and left a message with both the company and the salesguy. Thursday (delivery day) arrives and at noon I finally call both the salesman and the company back and leave messages again. Finally I receive a call back from the company and they inform me that the materials won't be ready until Monday (days after promised). I was upset, but lets see what the salesman says. Finally he calls me back, realises the problem after I chew his ear off, then after a few calls gets back to me and says that he personally talked to the shop crew and they'll have them ready Friday by noon at the latest. Satisfied with that I let my help loose and wait until Friday afternoon.
Don't worry the story is almost over. Friday comes and after hours of calling back and forth I get a hold of the shop guy who informs me that the salesman never called him about changing my order. Yeah, let me repeat that for a dramatic effect - LIED TO MY FACE. Oh - and it will still be ready by Monday. Not good enough - not nearly good enough.
So here's the problem with Monday. The pressing issue about Thursday was that would give me all day Friday to install them to be ready for our air show party that we hosted on Saturday. Otherwise I don't need the rails installed until our next outdoor event that involves large amounts of children.... So in the end the Manager calls and appologizes and tells me that there's no way to deliver as promised. So what is one to do? Remember that this is after frustrating hour after nausiating hour of back and forth and back and forth then being lied to, then being strung out. So I told him that I didn't feel like his business deserved my money and I wanted my money back.
I would distinguish $1000+ a large purchase. And when I make a large purchase I demand a certain level of customer service, professionalism, and quality. I don't feel like a received a single one of those things of the course of those 10 days.
To the extent of your inconvenience, I recommend going anywhere else.
