Wow! I purchased two shoe cabinets from this auction house, I went to pick them up waited in the office where no-one was there to check you in, for 10 minutes. Finally Emma Gonzales, comes in doesn't acknowledge us at first then takes are bidder number. We then ask how long do you think it will be. She tells us she has no idea and just go sit down outside (100 degrees outside), and wait to be called.
Rude, but we did it, there were several others waiting for their items as well. Three of them had already been waiting for more than 20 minutes. After being there for 30 minutes we call the corporate office to complain. My Husband is a disabled vet and was beginning to feel ill. at this time there were about 15-20 people waiting and I could not get a hold of any of the employees to tell them we had to leave.
We called corporate again and explained the situation, they told us to reach out to the owner, that they would try and help us but we needed to do that first.
This place is open 8-2 and if your item/s are not brought out they close and it's just to bad.
Well I texted the two people on the web site, Emma being one of them.
Told them the situation, she says " you are the ones that called corporate , right?) , not let see what I can do to fix the situation.
She then tells me one of my items has been misplaced and they will offer a refund on that one. I was told I could pick up my other item the following day. I reassured her I would do that. You would think that she would ensure it was ready to be picked, it wasn't and we waited for her to finish typing for another five minutes, before even looking up at us. Again just rude. We picked up our item, took it home, and it is not the correct item! For the love of God! Why is this so hard for her to figure out!
I sent multiple photos and told her I wanted a complete refund, and she could come pick it up. I was not going to drive down there for a third time. My time is valuable and I was fair about everything.
She messaged back and said no you return or no refund.
At this point I'm going to eat the loss but I will post as many reviews as possible, I don't want anyone else to be treated so badly.
Just a side note ; when reaching out to corporate they did state they have had numerous complaints about this auction house and they were probably going to discontinue allowing them to use Local Auctions Platform. I sure hope the do! read more
