TLDR: 2.5 stars for this business is 2 stars too many. This place is terrible. You should literally go anywhere else to buy carpet.
Buying carpet sucks, it is a total black box of information. Our journey began in June. We found a carpet that we really liked, but it couldn't get delivered and installed in our time from the business we were working with.
Enter Go Green: Our encounter with Go Green started with Daniel Champion, a "Sales Executive" who seems to lack any semblence of intelligence. My girlfriend was able to thoroughly confuse him by asking on the availability of more than one carpet. Apparently, Go Green's business model is most effective if you come in knowing exactly what you want and don't need a lot of information. Fortunately for them, WE DID.
We found the EXACT same carpet we had identified elsewhere. We had been quoted at the previous installer $4500. Go Green told us that it would be $4500 JUST for the product, that it doesn't include install, but they also could not confirm availability of the carpet until the measure. We told them we were okay paying their exhorbitant price, if they could get it installed by X date.
We had to work with Daniel, there was no choice. My girlfriend asked Brenda in a conversation prior to measurement if we had to work with Daniel, and she said "yeah, basically"
Friday comes, the owner's (Brenda - more on her in a minute) son, Shane, comes to do the measurement, and just like Daniel, seemed irritated that - since they could not confirm our first choice carpet availability - my gf wanted to know about other carpet availability options (because we need something installed by X date).
We call Daniel back on Friday evening, ready to put in our order (quoted at $8000, that is $3500 more than the previous quote for the same carpet) and we tell him that we want to know the estimate with a Rubber Pad (which we know they offer, because we held it in our hands in the store, and talked to Daniel about it). Daniel said that they did not have Rubber Pads (wrong) and that he was very impressed with their Healtier Choice Memory Foam pad (who cares?). We tell him we will come up to the store in Boulder (40 minutes away from where we live) the next day to show him the Rubber Pad.
We show up and Daniel has not updated any estimates, remembered nothing, and still cannot confirm the availability of our first choice carpet (he was "pretty sure"), and EVEN AFTER WE PICK UP AND SHOW HIM THE RUBBER PAD, he still couldn't figure out how to give us an updated estimate, he was thoroughly confused.
Thank god that another sales consultant was at the store, Sherri. She was able to actually get us numbers so that we could actually place our order. We felt better when she apologized and told us that she would let the owner (Brenda, again) know.
The experience was so painful though, and we had to concede on a different carpet. So, we see if the carpet we had to get from Go Green was available elsewhere. It is.
We call Go Green back on Monday and now, we get to talk to Brenda again. Brenda was upset that we were considering going back with the other carpet place since THE ONLY CARPET THEY COULD SELL US WAS NOT EVEN THE ONE WE CAME IN TO LOOK FOR!!! THEY COULD NEVER GIVE US THAT AVAILABILITY. She told us that we obviously were only concerned about price, and that Daniel is just "new".
If we were only concerned about price, we would have gotten out of this circus right away. We continued to engage because we were willing to pay ALMOST DOUBLE, if they could get the job done.
The worst part about working with them, was how difficult and terrible everyone (except Sherri) was to work with. This place should not even be in business. It is gross. If it is this difficult to ORDER the carpet, who knows what their installed product experience would be like.
