Due to a defect in the product, my flooring team had to come out to the job site twice to get the work done and I incurred fees.
On Tuesday, October 22nd, I placed an order (Order #XXXXXXXXX), 384 square feet of laminate flooring in Brazilian Cherry (Product #XXXXXXXX), to be picked up on Friday, October 25th at the Braintree location. I picked up the laminate flooring at approximately 2:00 PM, with the help of my father, and we drove the wood to the condo that I just purchased that very day. The next morning, my flooring team (a licensed and insured company, *** Flooring) came from Worcester, MA, to my condo in *** to install the flooring. At around the halfway point, he sent me a text message stating that we had a problem. In the text, there was a picture of the flooring, with the planks looking faded and lacking the same glossy finish as the other wood.

When I got there, we determined the wood that was already laid down was from a lot made on 12/17/18 and the lot from May 2019 was the defective lot. There were 8 boxes of the product from May that were unopened, so I was advised to return it and get the flooring from the 12/17/18 lot to be sure that it would match. I had to drive from Brockton to Braintree (15 miles) to return the 8 boxes. The woman and man working there acknowledged there was an issue even though they had "never seen this before", then went on to tell me they did not have any flooring from the 12/17/18 batch that I was looking for. I was advised that I would need to speak with a manager but he was not in until tomorrow. I had to drive back to Brockton (15 miles) and pay the flooring team, despite the job not being finished because it wasn't their problem, and scheduled them to come out again. On Sunday, in the pouring rain, I drove from my home to the Braintree store where the manager told me he could do nothing for me and I needed to call Customer Care. Why was I not directed to Customer Care to begin with if he couldn't do anything? He acknowledged the defective product saying, "it's clear just by looking at it". I then drove from Braintree to Woburn (20 miles) to retrieve the correct laminate flooring I needed (they had 8 boxes of 12/17/18 flooring), where the manager there also acknowledged the difference in the wood and that it was defective. I then drove 35 miles from Woburn to Braintree to bring the flooring to my condo in preparation for the flooring team to come out the next day (today)

They could not come out until today, which is the day I was supposed to be moving in. I was then charged a fee by my moving company for changing the date last minute (because I can't move into a home with half done floors), as well as a *** fee from the flooring professionals for having to make another 3.5 hour round trip out to the job site because the initial product was defective.

In the process of all of this, only 1 person has been nice to me and this was the customer service rep I spoke to. Other than that, the manager was rude, the sales person was rude and the most disturbing is that no one wanted to take ownership for this. My flooring contractor does $50k a year plus in sales at your company and he was appalled at the way I have been treated throughout this entire process.

Desired Outcome

While I feel I have the right to be be reimbursed for my time (having to take an entire weekend and a day off of work today to allow the flooring people into my condo), I am seeing compensation for the mileage driven (Brockton to Braintree, Braintree to Brockton, Quincy to Woburn, Woburn to Brockton) all while having my child with me. I would like to be compensated for the additional *** I have been charged by the flooring crew for having to come out for a second days work, when this was only a 1 day job. I should not have to incur these charges because you refuse to stand behind your product.

Thank you for contacting us. We are sorry to hear there is a concern with the product and service. We have noted the concerns and will involve the appropriate business members to address the issue internally.
While we understand the request for reimbursement, compensation for time, travel and other expenses are considered consequential and incidental damages that are not covered under the product warranty and we will not be able to reimburse you for those costs.

As of 10/28/19 you called our contact center and allowed a representative to assist you with a partial resolution for a store credit for the value of *** which would be the extent of what we are able to help with at this time.
If you feel you have a product concern that falls under the product warranty, please let us know along with submitting photos of the issue so we can determine whether or not there is a product issue to be addressed.

Thank you

The hardwood flooring is cupped, damage was done to our baseboards and trim, widespread damage was done to the new flooring, trying to resolve.
The new flooring is cupped and uneven throughout our home. The installers damaged the edges and corners of several boards with hammers and dull saws. The installers cut clearances and broke chunks off of door trim, dented walls and wore the paint off of our front doors by dragging boards through. Boards are mismatched in height, creating a tripping hazard and looks terrible. Ends of boards are not cut square from the factory. Large gaps were left between boards. Some boards are face nailed in open and obvious areas. The ends of some boards are so far away from the wall that the shoe molding won't cover the gap. Some of our baseboards are hacked up and cannot be repaired. LL only offered to refund the installation labor, which leaves us with the mess and burden of the flooring cost. The Sales Manager has been rude and condescending upon several occasions.

Desired Outcome

We want a full refund for faulty product, faulty installation, plus cost of repair to our existing trim, baseboards, doors and walls.

Since you are unable to cross reference my address, try looking up *** at the same address.

I ordered flooring from them and a man came out to measure the room.. well apparently he did not order enough flooring and they had to order more flooring and the lot numbers did not match so I have 2 different colors of flooring. The installer was terrible.. Was to come early and arrived 3 hours late. He used too much glue to put down my engineered flooring and I have glue seeping through the woodd boards. He also left a mess with glue on top of the wood. It looks horrible.. Contacted the installers company and said I was responsible for cleaning up after the job was done.. I stll have not resolved this problem with Lumber Liq. Have sent pictures and documentation with the parent company and no word from anyone..even though they would get back to me within 48 hours

They use culls, short pieces, of hardwood flooring and tell you the trees don't grow tall anymore.

Misrepresentation of product and warranty service. Warranty requirements are not disclosed at time of purchase.
4-14-2019 Lumber Liquidators Deposit ***
4-27-19 Lumber Liquidators receipt of merchandise ***
Item XXXXXXXX/BWENDSCG08 CLAIRE GARDENS ENGINEERED FLOORING Poor quality and misrepresentation of product. And due to the response and lack of confidence in the warranty company that they are going to stand behind their product.
Poor Quality/Product Failure- Approximately two and a half weeks after this flooring was installed it began splintering and cracking. So much so I am not comfortable with walking on the floor in barefeet. The flooring has continued to splinter crack and lift/separate. There is very little use on this floor as it is just I and my husband in the home and we both work full time. There are no pets in the home. The continued issues with this flooring are very concerning. I feel the product failure is due to being a poor quality product. When warranty agent Baylee was questioned about the environmental conditions chain from the date of manufacuturing to delivery she said the manufacturing plant and warehouse were airconditioned. The product was not kept in conditioned space while in a cargo container on a ship crossing the ocean. I also viewed on at least 5 occasions the store where I purchased the flooring was not kept "conditioned" as their warehouse roll up doors were always open.
Misrepresented Product- Based on the contact with Warranty Company it is clear this product is being sold without full disclosure from the company Lumber Liquidators.The Bellawood warranty company representative Bayleehas made it clear that they require an air conditioner in the home to adequately maintain this flooring and keep their warranty valid. I went into Lumber Liquidators at least four times and spoke to the sales people and at no time did anyone mention this product required an air conditioner in the home to maintain it or the warranty. The sales people did explain on multiple occasions:
It was their top of the line engineered flooring. It had a 100 year transferrable warranty. This engineered flooring was excellent for all rooms in the home, except bathrooms. Stands up to the daily life in homes and extremely durable due to the finish.
Must be in home 5-7 days to acclimate prior to being installed. (due to contractor delays, it was in our home for 2.5 months before installed).Multiple installation applications can be used.NEVER was there mentioned air conditioning was required. Even on the receipt of purchase. They now want to send in an inspector, which I am certainly in favor of except,they want 3 random boards "invasively" removed to be tested and the inspector is to bore holes in some of the remaining flooring to test the floor. It is required that I provide at my expense a floor installer to be present to remove the sections of flooring, it will be at my expense to repair the area the boards were removed from (this is a difficult process and often times not with great results). I am also responsible to fill the "holes" made in the other tested floors.
I find this totally unreasonable. If I am going to have to live with the defective flooring I certainly am not about to make it worse by ripping out whole boards and be left with cost of doing so and with the repair costs.
As I stated before based on Bellawoods rep's continued insistence that their product failure is due to an air conditioner has to be in the home or should have been in the home 7 days prior to installation I am not confident they are going to stand behind their defective product. If they do not validate their warranty I will be have to keep this defective product until I can afford to purchase new flooring, installation and removal of the current defective product.I currently paid *** just for the current flooring and installation.The additional expense to remove, purchase new flooring and installation will be conservatively an additional *** would like a full refund for this flooring and my installation costs

Desired Outcome

I would like to be refunded for the cost and installation and removal of this flooring. I do not wish to do business with Lumber Liquidator. I have reviewed possible replacements/exchanges from their product line but all warranties state the home must be Air Conditioned. I also do not trust the quality of their products as in hind sight during installation there was more damage to the tongue and groove portion of the boards and the obvious issues represented by multiple complaints on this website.

LL Flooring Response • Nov 13, 2019

Thank you for contacting us. We are very sorry to hear that there is an issue with the product you have installed. Our warranty backs the finish that is applied to the flooring just like every other retailer in the flooring industry. For any other issue, the key root causes to be discovered are limited to three areas: installation, site, or manufacturing. In either case there is some validation that is required as any warranty would need in order to assist and it covers certain pieces depending on the product.
When it comes to information for purchases and customer information, all invoices/receipts point customers to our website *** where anyone can find the installation instructions, warranty information and other helpful information. When dealing with wood flooring there is a high maintenance demand with some products and home climate controls is pretty standard across all lines of products with any retailer you buy from (vinyl products and tile may be an exception).
This purchase was made 4/14/19, picked up/delivered between 4/27/19-5/29/19. We received the customer concerns on 9/26/19 where it was noted that there were HVAC systems in place. This is a requirement with any solid, engineered product as wood will contract and expand based on the environment it's exposed to. This is outlined in the installation and care instructions.
To get the validation process started we opted to commission the inspection on behalf of the customer with Inspect Solutions as of 10/21/19 (prior to that there were delays with making contact on both ends).
We were notified by the inspection company that the inspector was in communication with the customer by phone/voicemails and text messages and we understood they were going through an evacuation for the fires that were out in the CA area. After that time, the inspector continued to contact the customer in hopes to get a date and time scheduled and as of 11/12/19 and it appears that there was some difficulty with having the customer's installer present for the inspection. From the time the inspection was requested for scheduling on 10/21/19 through 11/12/2019 we had to advise the inspection company to cancel the request after a month of not being able to schedule an appointment for validation of the concerns.
It is undetermined whether the customer has an actual manufacturing matter with their product. We are more than willing to assist the customer, however that validation is required as there are a lot of unknown factors that weigh heavily on the condition of the product's installation methods, and care since installed. We are ready to move forward with reordering the inspection when ready. Please know that the customer also has the same opportunity to commission their own licensed inspection as long as the report contains: the customer's name and address of inspection, the flooring type and square footage, the concern, all observations of the installation, and site conditions, all field tests (if glued down, testing and viewing of the glue and moisture are required to ensure proper installation and coverage), photos of all observed areas, and a clear conclusion backed with evidence from all observations. If there is a manufacturing issue with the product, Lumber Liquidators has recourse for reimbursement from their vendors so there is not reason to detour a manufacturing error when the validation surfaces. This way, we can honor the requests of the customer and assist as needed so we can help get their needs addressed and back to normal living conditions which we understand is the most important factor. No one wants to relive a flooring project and we get it and are here to help in any way we can.
Please let us know if we are reordering the inspection or if the customer would like to expense their own with the understanding that they can be reimbursed for the cost if a manufacturing matter is found, and we will gladly help get this process moving in the right direction.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
There are a number of inaccuracies in their response. #1 Notified the flooring store in person at the beginning of September of issues. Would not even discuss it other than to state to call warranty company. #2 Any delays in response on my end had been to to the questions in their questionaires requires answers that were above my knowledge and I had to wait for the answers from the flooring installer so the information was as accurate as possible. #3 10-21-19 to 11-7-19 - During this time I have spoken to, texted with and left voicemails with the floor inspector 8 times. The last communication was on approximately 11-10-2019 when I let him know that our floor installer was not available on 11-16-19 between 8:00 and 10:00. I have not heard back from him.
We have been in constant contact with their inspector through phone calls, texts and voicemails. Due to the inspectors limited availability and the extenuating circumstances of the PG&E shut offs and being evacuated for five day due the Kincaid fires from both my home and work as well as our floor installer being evacuated and not able work also has made it very difficult we were under a State of Emergency and out of our home and work for 5 days, as was the floor installer. We attempted to schedule with the inspector for November 3rd with my husband offering to remove as many boards as needed from an unfinished edge so he could inspect the flooring, installation, moisture barrier and subfloor. He stated that was not going to work as he may want boards from other areas.
As this process has continued I have become more uncomfortable with the removal of flooring from just anywhere in the flooring area. In addition to the fact that we have to pay for the repair of the "invasively" removed flooring, I feel this is an unreasonable step due to it having been installed just 3 months ago and there is access to inspect from an area that would be less damaging. In addition our floor inspector said the pieces removed would be pretty much destroyed as they are chiseled apart to remove them so he is unclear why that is being done. He said floor inspectors can test for moisture levels with a specific tool for that purpose. I feel this is a tactic they are using to get us to back down from the claim as well as prolong the process. I would not feel this way if I were confident in this company taking care of this issue. Instead I have increasing concerns based on the phone demeanor and responses with the Customer Relation Specialist, the many online negative reviews and even the F rating and negative responses on the this site I have found since this process began. We have just been made aware that they have closed our claim from their response. Also, this was the first time we have heard that we could provide our own inspector (though their requirements are not all that clear) We have reached out to several flooring inspectors and the cost to us would be *** We support having an inspection as long as it does not require removing floor boards from any location. They have access to check installation, moisture barrier, subfloor without destroying the floor further. I am disappointed in Lumbar Liquidators representation of its products and lack of customer service. I was shocked at how I was treated and made to feel when I reached out to the company about the issues I was experiencing with their flooring. Based on their attitude and recent research on their company I do not even want a new lot of this flooring or any other flooring from this company. As it is, even if I am refunded for this product I will have a loss of *** for the floor installation and another *** to remove and dispose of this flooring.

Thank you for your help in this very difficult situation.

LL Flooring Response • Nov 26, 2019

Thank you for your response. While I understand the consumer's concerns of how invasive the process may be, board removal is a necessary step in investigating a glue down installation to ensure that the accurate amount of glue coverage was applied to the boards. Moisture meters are used to take moisture readings throughout the installation; however, if the adhesive is not correctly applied then it cannot act as a moisture barrier to protect the flooring.
As we reserve the right to investigate any concerns of product defect, we have opted to assist the customer by commissioning an inspection through the third party source, Inspect Solutions. The third party inspection is a thorough and unbiased investigation of the product, site, and installation to find the root cause of your flooring concerns. Because Inspect Solutions is a third party source, the consumer may also expense their own inspection and we will be more than happy to review those results. In the case that the inspection report comes back as a manufacture issue, we will stand behind our product and assist with reimbursement. Please let us know if the customer would like us to order the inspection or if they will be more comfortable commissioning their own.

Thank you,

Purchased enough Brazilian Cherry Porcelain tile to do 2 bathrooms and a kitchen. Picked up the first batch for the small bathroom and the tile was of good quality. Started the second bathroom and picked up the remaining tile from the store for the bathroom and kitchen. When laying the second bathroom floor found that the tile was not good quality . We had done approximately 3/4 of the floor when we noticed that some of the tiles were warped and did not lay flat. I call the store in El Paso, Texas and they referred me to customer service main office. I Spoke with Selena and explained what was happening, she suggested I return remaining unused tile to store and obtain a different lot number. I returned 23 boxes of tile and received 23 new boxes. When I asked about the defective tile that was already installed, the only option I was given was that they would give me store credit for the dura rock backer board but not the tile. The store credit for *** does not cover the cost of the thin set, screws or price of the contractor. I complied with all the information that the customer service (Selena) asked for. I sent pictures of the box sku codes and pictures of the floor that was laid.
Product_Or_Service: tile
Order_Number: XXXXXXXXX

Desired Outcome

Replacement Replace the 3 boxes of tile,2 bags of thin set, and cost of the contractor to re-do the floor. I don't believe this is asking too much.

Purchased flooring, had it professionally installed, less than 6 months later, the flooring cracked. Filed a warranty claim,rep was untruthful.
Purchased flooring(purchase order #XXXXXXXXXX) from the local Lumber Liquidators store in Jackson, Ms in December 2018. Had the flooring (type TRQ XD Butterscothc Oak 4mm Click) installed by a professional contractor. In June/July 2019, my husband and I noticed the flooring beginning to crack. Called the store in Jackson and was intructed on how to submit a claim. Started my claim by submitting floor type, purchase date, and 20 pictures of the issues to Emily via email and fax on 9/16/2019 and was assigned claim # LTKXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. 2 days later, I emailed Emily to see if she had received my information. I recevied a call from Silas, customer care specialist at ext *** He asked me a series of questions, I answered to the best of my knowledge and then referred him to contact the professional contractor who installed the flooring. After a few days and speaking with the contractor to follow up on left messages and returned and missed phone calls,I called the contractor to see if he had spoken to the representative. He informed me that the representative was attempting to mislead his words by attempting to get him to say things that were not true. The representative also told me that the contractor said somethings and when I asked the contractor, he said no he did not and that I needed to investigate to see if this was the way the company operated in denying claims by misleading the consumer and attempting to encourage professionals to falsify information to nullify warranty claims. I then emailed Silas to inform him that I had spoken to the contractor and the contractor informed me of the conversation between himself and the representative where the representative was attempting to make "me say things that did not happen and were not true". The contractor was upset. He said, "I am a professional and I have laid flooring for over 20 years, I know what to do and what not to do, this company is just trying not to give you replacement flooring by the words that the representative tried to put in my mouth". Id emailed and called the representative back (last email sent on 9/26/2019) and I still have not heard anything back from anyone at the comepany. The contractor told me that he also tried to call the representative back several times.

Desired Outcome

As I stated in the claim, the only resolution I would like is for the company to replace the flooring that is currently laying on my kitchen floor,for less than a year now, and is damaged. I did not even ask for reimbursement of the cost to the professionals to install, just the flooring to be replaced. Flooring should not damage under normal use 6-7 months after being installed. If the flooring cannot be replaced, then the full purchase price, including delivery fee, of the kitchen flooring.

LL Flooring Response • Nov 01, 2019

We appreciate you allowing us the opportunity to review your concerns. It appears that you have been working with a representative by the name of Silas *** In review of the case file it appears that Silas has provided you and the contractor with information on your concerns of gapping and how to properly address it. Written correspondence was sent out on 9/25/2019 to inform you on the different reasons why gapping may occur. While unfortunate, the warranty does not cover the concern, as it is typically due to site and/or installation related issues. The normal causes for gapping within a vinyl floor could be lack of transition pieces or lack of expansion space throughout the installation. The flooring is a floating floor and in order for it to float as designed, you would need those transitions and the proper expansion. Our installation guide does advise you on how to prevent these concerns from occurring. I have attached the letter that was sent out to you for further review.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
The information provided was not the reasons the warranty was submitted. The flooring was installed BY AN EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL who knew just how to avoid those issues. During the inital call, Silas asked me those questions and I told him that because I did not do that type of work, he would have to ask the contractor. I gave him the number to contact the contractor.The contractor informed me that Silas was attempting to persuade the contractor to say things that were not the case in regards to the base flooring of my home, in an attempt to support the company not honoring the warranty of the product. The contractor also said that he had informed Silas that this was not his 1st or 100th time installing flooring so he knows for certain that there was no gapping or site base flooring or installation issues. IF THAT WERE THE CASE, THEN WE WOULD HAVE HAD ISSUES FROM THE OTHER FLOORING (DIFFERENT TYPE/BRAND) THAT WAS ALSO PURCHASED FROM SAME COMPANY AND INSTALLED BY THE SAME CONTRACTOR. The problem is with the product(this particular brand) Silas emailed a general document explaining why floors sometimes gap however those issues were not present within my home because again, the other flooring purchased and installed throughout THE SAME HOME would present us with issues and it does not. I encourage the company to send someone out to see for themselves if they refuse to take the word of a professional installer/ contractor.

LL Flooring Response • Nov 13, 2019

Hello and thank you for contacting us. We are sorry to hear of your concerns and will be happy to commission an inspection on your behalf to help with identifying the root cause of your concerns of gapping with the product purchased (DH Buffalo Springs Chestnut 12mm-#XXXXXXXX). Please know that we back any validated manufacturing issue within the confines of the warranty guidelines and are here to assist you in any way we can.
Next steps would be to await a call from the assigned inspector once that request is made and the inspector will work with you on scheduling a time and date for the inspection to be conducted.

We bought hardwood floors from lumber liquidators and decided to also go through them with installation. The job was done poorly.
Our installation was completed on May 18, 2019. We have complained multiple times that we are not happy with the installation and gotten no results. My husband has been in communication with Katharyn (CEO secretary). We have asked for someone to come out and look at the job but yet to have anyone show up. We have huge scratches that were done during installation, there are boards that are popping up around our island, and our walls and woodwork were destroyed during the job. Case #XXXXXXX

Desired Outcome

I want the floor we paid for to be fixed to our satisfaction

Purchased hardwood flooring in 2017 and had installed, after about 6 months floor started buckling & lifting in living & dining room. I called & made a report and an inspector came out and their conclusion was high humidity & moisture in rooms which was beyond their control. Which was not their fault. I was not satisfied with their fining and hired a professional and his finding was not the moisture & humidity but incorrect installation of flooring. No moisture barrier was installed per by belief. Lumber Liquidators did send out a non bias inspector and I requested a written report of his finding but have yet to receive it.

We appreciate you allowing us the opportunity to address your concerns. It appears that you have been working with a representative by the name of Aaron *** It also appears that the flooring was inspected and the concerns were found to be site and installation related. The moisture source is coming from the subfloor and would need to be remedied before we are able to address the installation related concerns. The lack of glue coverage caused the moisture to penetrate the flooring, therefore causing the cupping. Aaron has provided several different options in trying to assist you, however they were all declined. Until the moisture concern is remedied, we would take no further action in this concern. Replacing the flooring without correcting the issue would only cause this to happen again. I have attached the inspection report for your review.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I do not accept this response because the Company that installed the flooring should have tested for moisture before installing. There is no other room in the house that has that problem with moisture.
The solutions they offered is not going to correct the problem, the flooring just need to be taken up at their expense or my money refunded.

LL Flooring Response • Oct 08, 2019

We appreciate your response. Moisture testing is only good for the time it is done. This will not prevent future moisture concerns from occurring within the subfloor. Removing the flooring and replacing it with new flooring without correcting the moisture issue within the subfloor, would only cause the same concerns. We are willing to provide assistance with the concerns once the moisture source has been remedied, as we understand that there are some installation related issues as well. There will be no further action until this has been completed.

Refusal to communicate, failure to disclose upper management contact information. Failure to work towards a agreeable solution.
In 2018 we purchased a water proof kitchen floor for a upcoming remodel project. Lumber Liquidators professional came out to measure the area for the products that was needed to complete the project. Actually their employee came out twice once before framing and then after framing. The existing floor was ceramic tile. There was a different of thickness between the old and new floor. The floor was installed in December 2018 by LL.. After installation there was a noticeable difference because the floor was not meeting the door frame and soft spots in a few areas. Next, the floor pulled away from the island cabinet.
In early summer after a complaint their installation foreman came our. He review the spots I pointed out and said that it was a easy fix for the island cabinet area. He suggested I purchase pieces of door framing and he would cut and install. He commented that the overlay that was recommended/sold was incorrect. Because the old floor and the new floor thickness was different I should been sold a thicker overlay which would have cost more. I purchased the framing and attempted to match the stain, however since our home was built almost 20 years ago the framing was custom. The over the counter framing would not match. He opened up a repair
ticket and came back a few weeks later. He repaired the island floor, when I shared the framing with him he explain that it didn't match the existing framing. He suggested that he could go to a custom framing store and get a estimate for framing and pass it onto LL for approval. He added that our home was a custom home and he didn't believe I would be satisfied with nothing less than the floor fitting as it should, I agreed. About a few week later the floor pulled away from the island again. In April 2019, I started my dissatisfy journey with LL corporate office. My first contact with LL Corporate was Andrea *** her title was administrative Assistant she informed me that my case would be handled by Dave and I would receive a call from him in a few days. Dave (I was told they give first names of their reps) called me a few days later. We discuss the claim and I thought things were progressing. Then a few weeks with no communication. After a call to Andrea Dave got back to me. He got back to me twice, once to introduce himself and advise me of my case number. Several weeks later I received a second call to advised me that someone from service would contact me. A month later the repair foreman called, we discussed the tile pulling away from the island cabinet a second time and the floor not meeting the door framing. He said he would get back with me. After sending emails to both Dave and Andrea in July I was advised both no longer worked for LL. After initiating a call/email this month I was assigned a new rep Stephanie, initial call from Stephanie to introduce herself I didn't hear from her for a few weeks. With back and forth missed calls we connected last week. At this point I am furious, angry and frustrated. I notifies my local State Attorney office opened up a claim with them. Of course when I did speak with LL rep I was told they would only agree to the island cabinet and review the soft spots. I disagree with their reps decision and have reached out to their upper management for a conversation. While typing this message Cathleen from LL has reached out for discussion. I am continuing with my complaint.

Desired Outcome

Redo floor properly, refund installation, refund cost of replacing door frames. I am willing to except any of the 3 demands.

Some knots in the boards have been filled, boards are splintering, peeling, chipping, not squared, missing tongues,worm holes & some boards not oak.
On 5/31/19 purchased 946 sq feet of Builders Pride Classic Gunstock Oak floor 3/4 x 3 1/4 Product 10024877/PRGGSO3/1065/10/05-28-2019 from Ryan *** through Lumber Liquidators *** Dr Jeffferstown, KY. BUYERS BEWARE-READ YOUR WARRANTY. Had floor installed on 6/24, 6/25 & completed on 6/27. Professional installer advised the boards were not squared so he was doing the best he could with what he had to work with. They were discarding more boards then what they were installing due to poor quality. On 7/1/19 I called LL to file a complaint. I spoke to lady at counter (didn't get her name). She advised that she thought I received a bad batch & told me to call Cust Service. Spoke to Antonio/Cust Service advising that the floor I received was not what I thought that I had purchased. My floor has a 50 year warranty & it wasn't suppose to have knot holes. Told him floor very poor quality. On 7/3 received email from Andrea *** stating she was assigned to my case LL Case File #XXXXXXX. Requested that I complete General Disclosure Statement & forward to her with pictures of damaged floor. Sent info on 7/4, 7/6, & 7/7. Received email from Andrea on 7/8 stating she didn't receive so resent. Case was reassigned to Chloe so had to explain about my damaged floors. She asked if I had read my warranty. Advised that I hadn't but that I would look online. After reviewing warranty it basically states that splintering, peeling, discolor, chipping is not a manufactured defect. (What a joke) Who reads their warranty before purchase? Advised Chloe that the defects were definitely a manufacture issue. She advised she would send out a floor inspector. Floors were inspected on 8/1 and the inspector kept saying that I received a crappy floor but that LL will place the blame on the installers. Received email from Chloe stating that the inspection was clearly the installers fault even though the boards came out of the box damaged. Worst floor I've ever seen. Didn't walk on floor for weeks with shoes cause we were afraid that we'd damage it more. Edging on boards are so bad that when you wipe across them they splinter. Even when you walk on them they splinter or chip. On 8/11 sent response to Chloe stating I wasn't satisfied with inspection results & the inspector didn't list or take pictures of all the damage. Request they review report again & contact me with resolution. Hadn't heard from Chloe so called Customer Care on 8/26. Was advised she was away from her desk. Left message for a return call. Received message from Chloe stating they were experiencing company wide system issues. Called Chloe 9/3- had to leave message on what LL was gonna do about floor. On 9/5 I called Chloe again advising that LL needs to replace my floor with a quality floor that I thought I had purchased or to compensate me. She stated they stand by their warranty. (What warranty?) Wasn't getting any where with Chloe so requested to speak with her supervisor. Spoke to Chey about poor quality of floor. She kept saying I should have read my warranty & that the problem with the floor was not due to the manufacture but was caused by the installer. The installer didn't create the knot holes & try to fill them. He didn't do the damage to the sides of every board in the box & he definitely wasn't the person that manufactured the boards that weren't squared. Chey said that they could give a *** credit toward the purchase of wood to replace damaged pieces was the best they could do. That will not be enough since the whole floor has damage. They don't back their product. Advised going to contact my lawyer, put pictures of damaged floor on social media, tell everyone not to purchase flooring from LL, stand in front of the store advising people to read warranty before purchase & I'd never purchase from them again. Also told her that I'd be contacting Wave 3 Trouble Shooter. Worst quality floor & Cust Service. Every box should come with matching stain & putty

Desired Outcome

I'd like a refund of my purchase price so that I can purchase a quality floor some where else. If they are not willing to refund then I should be compensated or they need to sand & refinish the floor. If they continue to sell this poor quality floor they need to supply stain & putty for touch up and have big signs stating to read warranty before purchase.

LL Flooring Response • Sep 24, 2019

We appreciate you allowing us the opportunity to review your concerns. It appears that you were working with a representative by the name of Chloe *** It also appears that the flooring was inspected and the concerns were found to be installation related. The knots and checks are a natural characteristic of the flooring, as this information is stated on your invoice. The damages to the edges of the boards were found to be caused by impact damage during installation (either from a nailer or a hammer). Any boards not too your liking, should not be installed, as use constitutes acceptance. There is a 10% waste factor for this product per the manufacturer specifications. In our conversation it was explained that if you received the product and it was not to your expectation, it could have been returned to the store. Installed product has been deemed as accepted. If you would like us to process the courtesy store credit of *** please let us know. We understand that this is a frustrating situation, however the concerns are not manufacturing related. I have attached your invoice and the inspection report for your review.

The floor is defective, very poor quality and nothing but ***. Chey had stated that the installer should have checked every board before installing but when the floor inspector came out he didn't inspect every board. There was so much waste. The boards are not squared therefore there are gaps at some of the joints that a credit card can fit in (they need to be filled to keep dirt out.) There's way too many boards that are splintering when you walk on them or dust them. This is definitely a manufacture defect. The finished boards are not high quality as what I thought I had purchased. The edges should not be peeling or splintering on every board. The floor inspector was of LL choosing so he wrote up the report siding with LL. The problem is he didn't list 1/4 of the damaged wood. When the floor was being installed, the peeling and splintering were not noticeable. It was after the floor had been walked on that we started noticing all the peeling, chipping & splintering. I'm afraid to let me grandson crawl on the floor for fear he'll get a splinter. If this was a quality floor (50 year warranty), we should not have noticed so much damage after 3 days of the installation. I have inspected the floor so many times and every time I find more damage. I've taken so many pictures of the damaged boards. All of the boards are not of the same thickness. You can see that some of the boards are higher on one side. (You would not have noticed this defect until the boards were installed.) I'm so dissatisfied with the quality of the floor that I'll never purchase for LL again and I have already been warning my family and friends not to buy from LL. The stock of flooring that I received should not have passed quality control. Chey advised that they'd give an in store credit of *** but why would I want to purchase the same crappy floor and have to rip up so many boards that are showing damage? She also stated that I could hire my own floor inspector & if they state floor damage is due to poor manufacturing that they'll have a different resolution. The damage is being blamed on the installer either done by a hammer or nailer but the problem is both sides of the boards are peeling. The coating on the boards were not evenly distributed down on the sides of the boards causing the splintering, chipping & peeling. The installer did the best he could with what he had to work with. LL needs to admit that they are at fault for selling a poor manufactured floor. I was not at home standing over the installer why he worked to point out any damage. He was a professional installer so
I didn't feel the need to stand over him. I am so frustrated with LL. I paid to much money to have such a crappy floor. I want my floor replaced or refinished so I don't have to worry about anyone getting a splinter. Why have a warranty on a product that states any knots, checks or splintering is not a manufacture defect.

LL Flooring Response • Oct 08, 2019

We appreciate your response. We are able to process the store credit in the amount of *** to assist with purchasing product for the installer to do board replacement. At this time, there will be no further action on our part.

Refund was not fair and not sending me a refund check in the mail in accordance with the credit invoice which shoes"The check will be sent to address"
Product:XXXXXXXX/CLX UL Brazilian Cherry EVP 7mm, Flooring. I purchased First order: Flooring for 2,330 sqt.foot at *** sqt.ft paid by Lumber Liquidatots credit card in which I paid it the total balance within 2 months. (over 40 boxes) This purchase was done approximately March 2019. Later, I thought that I was going to be short so I went back for the Second order: 10 more boxes but this time she couldn't give it to me at *** sqt,ft so I paid over *** sqt,ft for the 10 boxes and I used my debit card so I paid cash for the 10 boxes. So when I completed my floor, I had approximately 18 boxes left. So I took the 18 boxes back to the store to get my refund. Wendy, the customer representative gave me the refund based on the *** sqt,ft price for the first order, instead of credit my debit card for the ten boxes I paid cash at a higher price, She made the total refund based on the *** sqt.ft which came about *** She told me and I have the Credit Invoice that states that" Your refund will be processed in the form of a corporate check which you will receive via mail, typically in 5 to 10 business days. The check will be sent to the address on file associated with the sold-to party account number" Refund was not fair based on what I paid for the first and second order. The credit my Lumber Liquidators credit card instead of sending me a check after she told me that I will be a check in the mail.

Desired Outcome

I want Lumber Liquidators to credit my debit card or send me a check by mail for the 10 boxes I paid cash at a higher price. Then, refund me for the rest of the boxes at the price of the first order which is at *** sqt/ft. This refund by check mail to my addres in file. This is the fair way of refund merchandise based on wht I paid and the time I purchased it. Not asking for anything special just fairness. Not sure for the date below.

Second purchase was paid cash at *** sqtfoot and method of payment was debit card, therefore I didn't receive that refund in accordance with method of payment . Even thought the credit card bank sent me a check, it is not reflecting the proper refund amount since it was calculated at $3.00 sqtft and not at *** in accordance with purchases. I find the refund unfair for me as a customer.

Mislead, waited for refund check. Check was never issued.
August 29th, I returned *** worth of unused floor. The sales representative informed me the money would be placed back on my debit card. I stated, I'm in chapter 13, that account is closed.

Cracked and damaged existing kitchen tiles during installation process.
I purchased hardwood flooring and installation services from LL, order number XXXXXXXXX. During the installation process, as the installers were removing existing flooring, they damaged two kitchen tiles. My kitchen and breakfast area are connected and are a complete tiled flooring. I do not have spare tiles available, being the 2nd owner of the home. I filed a complaint with LL, case number XXXXXXX, and the best offer LL made to me is either pay me *** as the cost of replacing the two tiles and Labor or that they can replace the two tiles with closest matching tiles. How can I have two different tiles on a tile flooring, it will ruin the look and ruin the value of the home and may not even sell the home as buyers may not like the floor with patchwork look.

Desired Outcome

The right solution would be to replace the entire kitchen and breakfast area flooring.

Thank you for your response. Your response is my complaint. *** may fix the two tiles but if you see the pictures, those tiles are not hidden from the view. Those tiles will destroy the entire kitchen flooring. How about these two options:

1. Take the tiles out from under the refrigerator where tiles will never be visible and replace the cracked tiles with those. Put any other tiles where refrigerator is. Won't be an eye sore.

2. Make an elegant border so it looks like a transition from Wood to tiles rather than completely different tiles. Here you have to do a similar border by breakfast area also.

Aaron from LL has provided the following offer, which we do not accept.

a). orig. offer of *** plus an additional *** or any addition expenses that you incur.

b). refer to the installer's / your insurance for a claim of personal property damage.

The reason being, I have personally spent this entire weekend looking at tiles at various stores around NJ, bringing samples back to the home and testing if it matches, going back and returning the samples. There are many tiles available which are similar but all those stand out like a sore spot. Also, the tiles are 13x13, so the choices are less. I also want to remind that now LL is trying to segregate themselves from the installers by saying that installers insurance company is saying this or that. I didn't do a contract with the installer's company, I did the contract with LL and they should hold their end of the accountability. Almost every tile store suggested that to get a match or close match would be extremely difficult, and it will be an ordering process to receive the actual tiles when I do find a match. Instead, we should look at removing that entire row of tiles and form a border. If LL is unable to replace the kitchen flooring, which I understand, they should not leave me with a lousy job of just switching the two tiles, they should leave my kitchen in a equal or better state. So please install a border. Border needs to be on both sides of the kitchen for uniformity.

Wood Floor materials and installation were not delivered as promised. Wood was from two different lots and do not match. Needs replacing.
I purchased flooring from Lumber Liquidators mid June 2019. When we took delivery of the wood, there were two pallets that had different lot numbers on them. I was told by the sales person that was not an issue. Once the wood was installed, we noticed a dramatic difference in the color and finish of the two lots of wood. We immediately brought this to the attention of the installers, Texas Proficient Flooring. They tried to replace about 15 of the planks to remedy the situation. (The floor is glued down.)This did not work. Further more, the replaced planks are not level with the rest of the floor and some seem to be coming up. There are areas that are hollow underneath indicating they were not glued down properly. There are placed where the wood splintered upon installation. I have been working with Lumber Liquidators for almost two months to get resolution. I have been in contact with Lauren *** as directed by the local manager, at their customer service center in VA. Lauren *** has stopped responding to my inquiries and I have heard nothing in the lat 10 days. I have left several voicemails asking for an update and sent several emails. There are two main problems. Number one is two wood lots. Dramatic color difference. Number two is that the installers did not pay attention to installation instructions. The work order clearly says to work from 2-3 boxes and they only installed form one at time. This caused the floor to be very splotchy instead of uniform. The result is unacceptable. I feel like the two entities, Lumber Liquidators and Texas Proficient Flooring are playing a game of Hot Potato at my expense.

Desired Outcome

I am looking for a full replacement of the installed flooring. I want wood ordered all from same manufacturing lot. If they are not amenable to working with me, then I want a full refund. I am reluctant to to let them work for me again.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Thank you for your response. The last response I received from Lauren was an email on 8/26, almost 3 weeks ago, saying you were having company wide system issues. These type issues typically do not take 3 weeks to resolve.
When your installers replaced the planks, they did so with my concern that this would not resolve the problem, but I said I would let them try. I never told them I was satisfied, because I was not. They did not replace 29 planks, it was more like 15. Additionally, the planks that were replaced due to installer error were paid for by me! Your description on the timeline of events is not accurate. I asked for Kendrick, the Carrollton store manager, to come out and look at the drastic variation in color shortly after the completion of the job. That took two weeks to get approved, but he did come out. He did agree that although there are usually slight variations in color, our install has more than slight variation. After that they requested that Renee, the regional install manager for Texas Proficient Flooring, came out and look as well. A week or so later, Renee came out with Alex the project manager from TPF. At the beginning of his visit to my home, Renee and Alex tried to get me to agree that the variations were normal. After a serious conversation, Renee agreed that this install, did not look right and the color variation was not normal. I also pointed out areas that were hollow sounding underneath and not glued down properly and Renee commented that he would definitely need to fix that. Since this whole ordeal started, right after install finished, more areas are sounding hollow, planks make snapping noise when I step on them and I have found other areas that were never glued down properly because the floor was not leveled, and I paid for leveling the floor.
The reason that I think we need to rip up the entire floor is two fold. Cutting in some planks prevents the locking system that locks the planks together from working as designed. The other reason is that Lumber Liquidators will not be able to match the color of the flooring since replacement flooring will be from yet another manufacturing lot which I feel is the genesis of this entire debacle. To this date, Lumber Liquidators has not responded to the fact that there were two different lots of wood installed in my home that were manufactured 2 years apart. Renee commented when he was at my house that the two year old wood "Should probably never have been sold." Given the explanation that Renee and Alex gave me about how the wood is man made from Bamboo that grows quickly and takes the color at different rates due to the age of the Bamboo at manufacture, it is not hard to extrapolate that product manufactured two years apart would be colored differently. There is no guarantee that the Bamboo came from the same fields. The planks even have a different sheen to them and in the sun one is shinier than the other. I addressed the the statement about natural color variations earlier, but I will also remind you that I bought a box prior to installation and snapped it together. We looked at this wood in our house for about a month in different areas, different lighting. There was no variation in the planks as shown in the pictures I have already submitted. I will attach some photos if possible to demonstrate that my installation is not "normal variation." I know this is not a small issue to you and it will cost LL a lot of money, however it is an even bigger deal to me as I have now been inconvenienced for over 2 months and the flooring I have is total disappointment. Once we noticed that the color variation was too wide, the installers picked through many boxes of wood and left over pieces to make sure the dark planks matched as closely as possible. This again shows that they realized that the color variation was too great, but they were 90% finished. This situation is disaster. The only way that I am going to be satisfied is to replace the whole floor since cutting in new planks for rooms will not allow the planks to snap together as intended and the ones they have cut in thus far are not level with the rest of floor with corners sticking up and glue oozing out of the cracks.

Transition strips are unglued and need to be repaired. Also there are some gaps between boards that need to be filled.
We had the floor installed in June of 2018. It was installed by some very young workers. The flooring was purchased on April 30, 2018. The sale order number is XXXXXXXXX. The total payment for this project was *** The installers had said it would take about four days to install but it took a full seven days. They had to come back and repair some hollow portions of the floor. They were very messy. Over time the transition strips began to come loose and unglued. I sent information to Lumber liquidators in May of 2019 to get the transition strips repaired. They sent out an installer to evaluate the situation and took several pictures which not only included the loose strips but also a curve in the flooring and gaps between boards. It is now September of 2019 and I still don't have the floor repaired. I have reached out to LL and have been in contact with a Rep. but it doesn't seem that I getting any resolution. There was a couple of time that I tried to follow up with the Rep. but I got no response. We just want the floor repaired and gaps filled. This whole process has definitely been very unpleasant to say the least. Please help us get out floor repaired and installation errors corrected.

Desired Outcome

We would like the floor to be repaired or replaced Andy installed correctly.

3 months of complete lack of communication after a messed up order
On May 28,2019 I signed up for a credit card from Lumber Liquidators to purchase flooring and installation for my entire house, totaling *** The purchase was ran at the same time but under two separate invoices, Sales Order Number XXXXXXXXX and Sales Order Number XXXXXXXXX. At the time I was told by the sales employee they had to wait for the product to be delivered to my home before we could schedule an installation date. After three weeks had passed *** any communication as to when our flooring would be delivered, I called the store. They informed me the flooring would be delivered within the next few days. Once the flooring was delivered, I did not hear back from the store to set up an installation date. Once I called them, they were able to set up an installation date of July 10. I was told specifically the installation would take one day. The two days prior to July 10 I spent taking out all of the old flooring and padding from the entire house. On the morning on July 10, the installers arrived around 8:30 am. They saw the ripped up flooring and immediately told us that the invoice they had received was to only install the downstairs. After a couple hours of the installers communicating with the store manager *** came to our residence to "sort things out". It was determined that only one of the sales orders was sent to the installation company rather than the two sales orders. The installation company then realized that the product from the stairs was not only never delivered, but never ordered. *** told us that he would expedite shipping of the product. He would not charge me for the product but I would still have to pay the extra labor charges. He then left the residence after about 10 minutes. The installation company worked as hard as they could but were unable to finish the entire downstairs and upstairs. They came back the next morning and finished. After multiple weeks of not hearing from Lumber Liquidators on the details of our stairing product, I called the store again. *** told me that the product was on their delivery truck and should be delivered the following day. A week passed *** I called again. A sales associate told me that *** was out of town for the week and when the associate went to look up our sales record, he said he he saw no record of our product. Since then, I have called a total of 5 times over the past 8 weeks and have received multiple excuses such as: "the company who prints the flooring is switching printers and can't find the print for your product", "our systems crashed", and "the Russians hacked our system and we lost all our orders". I called the customer service number to file a complaint through the company but after I told them about the runaround I have been given, all they did was transfer my call back to ***.
My cr is XXXXXXX. It has been three months of having the stairs in my house ripped up and a complete lack of communication from Lumber Liquidators. I have small children in my house and having my stairs ripped up is a dangerous environment for my children.

Desired Outcome

All I have asked for is for them to finish my flooring but after such a horrible experience I wish to receive some sort of compensation for their complete lack of professionalism and any sort of customer care.

This case needs to be reopened. We paid the *** for the stair treads a MONTH ago and we have had no movement on getting these installed. I just called the store and they had no idea where the order was. The incompetence of this company and the total lack of care on a *** order is inexcusable. Action needs to be taken against them.

Have not resolved multiple order and customer service issues since May 2019
I ordered a couple wood transition bars from Lumber Liquidators on May 11th, 2019. They assured me they would call when the order arrived at my local store. It is now September 1st and they still have no resolved their error.

The order was delivered, but they never told me. That added a month to my home remodel. Then when I finally stopped into the store, they realized they screwed up the order. They said they would fix it and the correct item would arrive in a week. Three weeks later, they finally admitted they shipped the order to the wrong store. A week after that, I finally received the transition bar.

When I contacted customer service, they told me they would resolve it. I spoke to "Lucas," who assured me he would personally rectify these egregious errors. He has not. I have tried calling Lucas to follow-up, leaving voicemails, with no response. The company has also blocked my messages on social media.

Working with them for a simple item was a nightmare.

Desired Outcome

in store credit

We appreciate you allowing us the opportunity to address your concerns. We sincerely apologize for any delays this may have caused. It appears that you were working with a member of our management team by the name of Jeff O. It also appears that Jeff has provided you with a refund back to your method of payment in the amount of *** This would satisfy the amount that you spent on the t-molding.

A refund is not sufficient for a delay of several months plus 4 separate order errors on the company's part. As explained in my original complaint, I was told by "Lucas" that he would work to rectify the situation beyond a refund. Lucas called me once to update me that he would have a resolution soon, however, I never heard back from him. I have called twice since and left voicemails that he never returned. Then I was blocked on Twitter by the company. At this point, I will not retract my complaint due to unreasonably long delays, an inordinate number of errors (1 website error, 1 failure to notify error, two delivery errors) and abhorrent customer service.

While we understand that this caused major delays and was an inconvenience, Jeff provided a resolution to your concerns with a refund for the T-molding on 6/11/2019. We have also notified the store and the Regional Manager so that they aware of your concerns. Again, you have our sincerest apologies.

Wood floor product was defective, case #XXXXXXX
I purchased wood flooring from Lumber Liquidator Store on 12th St in Brooklyn NY approx November 2017. The finish on the floor began to come off in a few spots almost immediately. Before the contractor finished the renovation several boards were replaced at a cost of ***

Since then the finish has come off in several other areas.

We began the complaint process in December of 2017 and was asked to fill out General disclosure statement and send photos. We complied.

Case number XXXXXXX was assigned from Lumber liquidators to this complaint which should have all the information they need to respond to this complaint.

We also sent a sample of the product to Angela *** in customer relations. It was confirmed by Lumber Liquidators weeks later that the product was in fact defective and they no longer carry that product.

I was then instructed to go back to the store to get phone number from local contractor to look at this issue to see if they can repair.

Please note that I tried calling the store several times with no luck so I drove to the store to get help.

When I went to the store as instructed, the employees in the store said they are not authorized to recommend contractors as per corporate. At this point I felt like this was a runaround.

I reached out to a few local floor contractors and they do not want to touch this project due to the intricate nature of this project.

This apartment has center island and exposed flooring to molding in very visible areas. The contractors also mentioned that they will not work in this apartment with the art collection on the walls, we would need to have the museum quality artwork removed, stored and rehung.

Since the flooring is thought the entire apartment the Contractors said all the furniture needs to me removed from the apartment, stored and brought back in.

We would also need to relocate for a few days during this process.

Angela offered a token store credit at one point.

We have not been able to reach her for several months. We can supply all emails showing that this has been dragging on for over 18 months. Please note that this has caused much grief and can be a great financial cost to me.

Please help.

Desired Outcome

We want full refund of product, and full cost of repair.

We appreciate you allowing us the opportunity to review your concerns. It appears that you were working with a representative by the name of Angela *** In requesting that you provide 3-5 sample planks, we received two 20" planks that were reviewed by our Quality Assurance department. The two planks did not pass the manufacturer's specifications for finish adhesion and this information was shared with you by Angela. In the last conversation on 5/15/2018 Angela provided several options to provide assistance to include a store credit for product, per the warranty. You stated that you did not want to have the flooring ripped up and replaced and that no one would want to do a sand and refinish due to the paintings. You advised Angela that you would check with an installer on the best course of action and would get back with her once you figured out how you would like to proceed. In further review of your case file, it appears that you purchased a sold as is product with no returns and no cancellations. On the invoice it also states that many deals may be a one time offer. At this time, we are able to provide a store credit in the amount of *** for the product only. Please let us know how you would like to proceed. I have also attached the invoice for your review.

Paid a *** deposit for installation of Laminate Flooring
On Monday, August 19, 2019, I paid a deposit of *** as a deposit for installation of Laminate flooring - *** for material. The total bill is *** I was told by Lumber Liquidators on Wednesday, August 21, 2019 that their computer system was down when I tried to make a change in the material; however, I was able to pick up the flooring material on Thursday, August 22, 2019 with the instruction that someone would call and set up a schedule for the installation where I would complete the payment of an additional *** I was also told that I would receive some items for the installation via U.S. mail. As of today, no one has made contact with me nor have I received any items in the mail. I have sent several emails to corporate without a response. This makes me leary as to a scam is being perpetrated.

Desired Outcome

Either complete the installation or refund my deposit money and payment for flooring material, etc.

We appreciate you giving us the opportunity to review your concerns. You have our sincerest apologies, as our systems were down. After speaking with Steven at store *** Alabama, I was advised that the moldings were shipped today. Due to the system concerns, it has caused a delay. In order to have the installation date set up, all material will need to be received, as well as the balance paid in the amount of *** We hope that this will ease any uncertainty you may have in this process.
