Sorry. Wrong location. Re-posted on the west end branch.
On August 26, 2014 we ordered a fridge, range, dishwasher & microwave for our kitchen renovation. At the time of requesting the quote the salesman (assistant manager) was told that we would be looking for a November delivery. Once we placed the order I spoke with the salesman and asked if there would be an issue if we were not ready when the appliances arrived & was told that there would be no problem, they would just store them in the warehouse. He also responded, talk to you in October.
Fast forward to the first week of November. My wife gets a call from someone from Coast Appliance (not our salesman) & was told that our salesman was on vacation & he was asked to contact us to see if we were ready to order our appliances! Since my wife was not involved in the order process, she just said yes & was told that they should be in by December. When I heard the news I was upset. It was my impression that the appliances would have been in their warehouse at that time.
I waited until the following week when our salesman returned from holidays & gave it a couple of days before I contacted him. I called & left 2 voice messages asking him to call me. I later received a call from the employee who spoke to my wife. I explained my frustration & was told he was sorry but he was not the one who did my order but the goods were to arrive the last week of November.
On the morning of December 2 I called our salesman to check on the status & was told he was out at a meeting so I left him a voice message. At the same time I sent him an email requesting he give me a call. After not getting a call I called his cell late that afternoon & he answered the call. I asked the status of my order & was told that all but the fridge was in & that the fridge was scheduled to arrive December 15 or 16. I voiced my displeasure since this was the first time I got to speak to my salesman since placing the order. I asked if we could get all but the fridge delivered now so we could continue with our renovation. He said that should not be a problem & checked to see when they could ship. Shipping was scheduled for Friday December 6.
Friday December 6 a truck arrives & they have 2 items for delivery. The dishwasher & the microwave. I asked what happened to the range. I was told that they really didn't know but our salesman (assistant manager) told them that I wouldn't be very happy. Not happy! I can think of better words to describe how I feel but they should not be put in print.
Our salesman did not even have the decency to call & let us know of the latest development. I have not yet contacted him or anyone there to get an explanation yet but thought the public should know my experience.
Our renovation consisted of wall, cabinet, flooring & ceiling removal & replacement. All went without a hitch except for the appliances which should have been the easiest portion.
Due to my experience, I would not recommend purchasing appliances from Coast. I understand that issues arise but the way they are handled is how I rate how a company has performed. read more
