First off, I was not able to write this post unless I clicked on a star which the door Outlet does not even deserve a single star.
I'm a Commercial General Contractor, and Residential Home Builder in
Austin. I built my business on honesty, good workmanship, completing projects on time , returning phone call ,emails and especially keeping my customer informed at all times.
The Door Outlet has none of these traits and should not be trusted. The Owner of this company should be ashamed as to how its employees handle business and represent the Company. If I owned this business I would fire any Employees that does not properly perform their job and it should start with Store Manager whom should be setting good examples.
My business is based on word of mount and I have never in 35 years been given a bad post until dealing with the Door Outlet. Due to the Door Outlets neglect to fulfil my order and due to all the initial failures it has created with my orders, the Door Outlet has caused me to be in bad standards with my client.
With all said , please be WARNED under the current staff , Store Manager and the experienced store practice, once you place your order and your money is taken, YOUR ON YOUR OWN!
BE PREPARED: You will receive no calls when your order has arrived or you may receive a call a week or so later after it has arrived.
BE PREPARED: If you have to leave a message because no one will answer the phone, you will not receive a returned call that day or in a timely manner. You will find yourself having to constantly call back until you can reach your sales person.
BE PREPARED: If you call in and your sales person is tied up and can not take your call, you will not receive a returned call that whole day even if you called early that morning. It's apparent that whom ever takes the phone call message does not forward the message .
BE PREPARED: Talking to the Store Manager does nothing ! All you will receive is excuses and placement of blame on someone else.
BE PREPARED: Inspect your order very closely to make sure what you ordered is what you are receiving. I ordered smooth surface solid core pine doors and the DO tried to issue a cheaper Masonite door .
BE PREPARED: You will be lied to constantly by most of the employees and even the Store Manager. You will be told by an employee that they will call you right back once they check on your order and may not receive a returned call. You will be told that your order has been placed when it was not placed. You will be told that the order was received in the store damaged and had to be returned to the manufacture when the order was not turned in to the manufacture in time to process. I can go on and on.
BE PREPARED: When the Door Outlet has fowled up your order, You will not received returned calls and will find yourself so desperate to get an answer that you will drive to the store to just talk to someone to get answers.
My hope is that the Owner of this store will read this post and all the other negative posts received over time and will make new changes. The Door Outlet does have good products and reasonably priced , however the Customer Service is in dire need of repair and SUCKS! read more
