It has been a nightmare with their customer service (if any) and horrible management at Granite Expo in Vacaville and Emeryville, I've placed an order with the Emeryville store 2 weeks before pick up at Vacaville store for a local job in Vacaville, I confirmed with Emeryville store the night before to make sure materials have been transferred to Vacaville (to avoid delays, it happened to me before in their Pittsburgh store) for pick up. They said materials is there now, (shoot, forgot who answered the phone, and bad with names)
Installers got there at 8:30 am, sales was later 15 mins or so to open (according to installer). they were told driving to the back for loading up. Warehouse was close and no one there yet, so they waited.
9:20 am, warehouse door opened, sales woman notified my installer she haven't located the order yet, and asked my guys to waited in truck, 30 mins later. she finally found out the order still in Emeryville NOT BEING TRANSPORTED YET.
She offered my guys to use 2 pcs in stock to start partial of job and come back at 12:30pm to pick up rest of the order, it'll be here she promised, so my guys called me and I was assured that the rest of stones will arrive on time and will have no issues (same size, same colors).......
1:30 pm my guys went back, the lady who helped was at lunch and asked to wait for her "IF YOU WANT YOUR STUFF AND I DON'T KNOW YOUR ORDER", that was the last words they heard.
Around 2:15 pm, the lady came back, she immediately noticed something was wrong, so she started to call to find out where material is. Her call last about 25 mins.
My guys called me to call the store to find out what happened with our order, I couldn't call in so I called my guy to handed her the phone, This has been a bad day for her, she started to talked to me with attitudes and being very impatience and unprofessional , she said " We don't have your order here, and won't be here today, I'm not your sales, call Emeryville", so she refused to helped.
with all of this stuff threw at me, I was pissed off and called Emeryville to complaint to store manager there......
Long store short, we picked up rest of order in Emeryville store and took to job site the next day, the real nightmare happened, the 3rd pc they cut didn't match for what they had installed yesterday. I brought this to Emeryville store's attention so I hoped that we couldn't bring sample to match and return the uncut pieces. Their response was "NO RETURN, NO EXCHANGES' and hung up on me.
I got screwed big time with a $1600.00 order.
Experience dealing with the 2 stories in 3 days made me felt like "SHI_". I was extremely upset with their customer service (if any) and treatment as their customer. Why we paying for something and made you felt liked a beggar, their enemy, their problems, their headaches. I RECOMMENDED TO SPEND MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE.with real customer service.
As a result, I purchased whole new set of counter for this job, but I'll fight them for my 100% money back plus lost on rent and labors.
