Golden State Lumber lost my trust because of inconsistent pricing and poor management response…read more My contractor purchased deck ties one day at one price, then was charged a significantly higher price for the exact same items the following day. When we brought the discrepancy to management's attention and asked them to reconcile the difference, we were told the lower price was "incorrect" and that the higher price was the correct price. No adjustment or refund was offered. In the end, we paid about $80 more for the same item purchased just a day later. Customers deserve transparent and consistent pricing, especially over a 24-hour period. Instead of addressing the issue, management doubled down. Based on this experience, I'd recommend getting quotes in writing and checking every invoice if you can't avoid them. The inconsistent treatment left me questioning whether all customers are being treated fairly.

I was looking for new rubber gromets for a Pedal Steel volume pedal…read more I approached the desk & found Mike Rast working with another customer. Normally I'd go hunting myself but decided to wait. When he finished I showed him the volume pedal he immediately took interest & instead of directing to what looks like hundred of draws holding screws & gromets he took the pedal & I followed. He then fit the pedal with the right gromets within 5-10 mins which would have taken me a hour & I'd probably have wrong fit. Good service is hard to find these days but great service is rarely seen! Hats of to Mike Rast for making my day. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

We like to give business to local merchants. We wanted to purchase a replacement faucet set for our…read morebathroom. We found a set we liked and asked for help. We had 2 questions , how much was it and did it come in other finishes. The "faucet guy" brought us over to the customer service counter and stated to look up the item we were interested in buying. He had just started his query when another employee walked up and "faucet guy" stopped working on our question and got into a long discussion about what he wanted. The 2nd guy left and the "faucet guy went back to his computer to answer our question. Two minutes later another employee asked him for help on her computer. "Faucet guy" stopped helping us and went over to help his coworker. After several minutes he returned to us but was again interrupted by his coworker for hep with another customer. Once again he stopped helping us and went to her assistance. Now 15 minutes had passed and we still had no answer to our questions. We finally decided to heck with it and left. "Faucet guy" was still busy helping his associate with her customer. We went home found what we wanted on line at Amazon, got it cheaper and had it show up in 24 hours. If Jackson wants to keep in business they need to teach staff to handle one customer at a time. We will never go back.

Working with Cynitha at Italics has been an absolute dream. As an interior designer juggling…read moremultiple projects, having someone like her in your corner makes all the difference. She's not only incredibly knowledgeable about Italics' selections, but she also takes the time to understand your vision and offer thoughtful suggestions that elevate the entire design process. Cynitha has helped me source everything from statement pieces to subtle accents, always with patience, creativity, and an impeccable eye for detail. Her responsiveness and genuine care make her such a standout. I can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for support on high-end design projects -- she's the best! I will continue to go to Italics repeatedly because of Cynthia!

She gave me exactly 5 minutes of her time and had a rude demeanor. I'm truly surprised others has a good experience with her. Follow up note for Jon- I scheduled the appointment almost a week ahead, I asked for a time slot and she replied she was open from 10-3pm and didn't give me a time. Then I told her I was aiming for 1pm and I never got a response back. Even if I did arrive early, I wouldn't have been so upset had she been kind and asked me to wait. Plus there was no other customer in the store. She wasn't kind, she was rude. Her lunch arrived as I was leaving. She was clearly unprepared. I don't doubt her ability but her demeanor is not the best presentation for your business.

We ordered doors for a project and only realized that we mixed up the handing after they'd been delivered (pay special attention to their handing chart -- it's different from what I/my team is accustomed to). This was a mortifying mistake and could have really turned out badly. Douglas talked me through everything on the phone that afternoon, accepted the doors back the following day, and had them rehung and redelivered the day after that. He didn't even charge us even though this was obviously my mistake. The quality of work is high and they can customize most doors with surprisingly quick turnaround, but the service is on another level. I'll be ordering again in a few weeks.

Downright rude. I…read morecame in person to find a passcode latch for a wooden gate. They said Rob handles that, but he's not in. I called a few days later, asking which type of latch I would need for my gate. The person on the phone said "he's not the right guy and that Rob knows more. I asked to speak with Rob. They did not put Rob on the phone and told me to do my own research and find the model that I need for the gate and then they can order it. If they can't help me find the right solution to my problem, I'm not exactly sure why they exist. I wanted to support a local business, but instead, I'll do my own research and just use amazon.com

As I stood there trying to figure it out, an employee came over to help and quickly realized how tricky it was. He consulted a colleague for a second opinion, and then they he called over Max, who happened to be on his lunch break. I told Max he didn't need to interrupt his break, but he insisted he was happy to help. He wasn't convinced the first option would work, so he kept testing different ideas and talking through possibilities. When Feliciano came by, the two of them compared notes and agreed on the right connector. They were absolutely right. We installed it when I got home, and it works perfectly--no more leaks. Thank you to the Goodman's Hardware team for the great teamwork, and a special shoutout to Max for going above and beyond to make sure I left with exactly what I needed.

This is the third time this has happened to me and the last time I told myself I would not go there again but I thought since they said they had 14 it was a no brainer.
