Terrible customer service, unprofessional and dishonest sales staff. We're building a home and…read moredecided on natural stone for a few 'remnant sized" projects that are otherwise almost done. We had not decided on a stone or stone company for our big countertop/vanity projects yet, but we saw that they sell "remnants" on their website and thought if we have good success with these smaller projects, we'd just have them work with us on the rest of the house's interior stone. We had several concerns, distance being our biggest (we live quite a long way from GA's showroom/yard) at that time, or so we thought. We visited the showroom/yard in mid-March discuss with Shawn our plans, we look at the slabs on hand, choose things we really liked and then sat with him for the quote. He seemingly checked his system for remnants to fit our needs; we made some adjustments and ended up leaving with a firm plan for one project and an idea for the second. Shawn also promised to send us pictures of products that would fit the size and scale of the more challenging project by the next day. We liked what we saw and experienced at that time, and we said we'd probably send him the rest of the projects we needed quoted when we returned home but reiterated that these were two distinct needs and one wouldn't be dependent on the other. The very next day I emailed him the big countertop projects. I checked in with him over the course of the next 8 days, reminding him of my timeline and every response included an excuse and was "I'll have it to you before the end of the day" or "I'll send that tomorrow". It took multiple requests before he sent the first picture, it took multiple weeks before he sent a quote and that was for the entire house. I had to request repeatedly via email and several phone calls that he send me the originally requested quote. He revised the house quote and finally sent the originally requested quote. I explained when the cabinets were expected to be in, but that I wanted to get rolling on the remnant projects as those spaces were ready to be finished. No response to multiple emails, however, I finally get a phone call a month after our initial meeting and he tells me that they would not be able to deliver the projects for the quoted price. I said that was fine, we'll be happy to drive in and pick them up, but that I wanted to get the ball rolling. He said I will call you tomorrow. The next day, no word. I called and sent an email. The weekend went by, and I called again on Monday and was, again, told that he was on the phone and would return my call (a VERY familiar refrain). Finally, the next day, my husband called, and he was told that "Shawn was on the phone" and would return his call, my husband asked to speak to his manager. The sales manager identified herself, and then my husband (who works out of the country often) proceeded to explain Shawn's refusal to respond or follow through. When she said she'd like to resolve this he explained that I was on location here and that she'd need to work with me as he's out of the country. She contacted me and through our conversation it became clear that she didn't really know what had gone on, although she made mention of her familiarity with the issues at the beginning. I was frustrated when she told me that this quote was 'contingent on the whole project' and I told her Shawn never indicated that to me at all. That in fact, we made it clear the whole house wasn't decided yet and the two weren't dependent on each other from the start and that if that contingency was a fact, then Shawn had numerous opportunities to tell me that and never did. His ONLY stated concern was the delivery issue. She asked me if I was willing to work with her going forward and at this point, with my project being so close to being completed, I said yes as long as she honored the quote price that he had finally sent. She didn't indicate that that would be an issue and asked me to give her '10 minutes' to locate a remnant for the more challenging part of the project and she'd call me back. She did call back, but only to tell me that they refused to honor the quote. According to her boss, they couldn't sell me the dolomite or quartz for the documented price but could do it for THREE times the original quote. Keep in mind we went there specifically because they advertised a 'remnant' sale. It became pretty clear why Shawn would never return my contact - he lied to us the whole time. No apology, no higher management contact, no offer of a discount to make this whole experience palatable. Just "it's not happening" and basically either accept it or not. I definitely would not recommend these dishonest, unprofessional and unethical people to anyone.
