Mosaic: What they installed.
Valerie R.

The absolute worst customer service experience I have ever had. Husband and I bought a new house and needed 3 bedrooms of carpet and a stair runner installed. Called Lowes and they said someone would contact us to come measure the rooms before we can pick out the carpet. We made an appointment via text message with an installer, and not 1, not 2 but THREE people came out to measure our home, NONE of them being during the appointment time we made. We called Lowes and they said it would take three to four days before the installer communicated the measurements to them. (what??) Called back 4 days later and they said we need to come in to pick the carpet. We went in, picked the carpet, and they said it would be a few weeks before the carpet was delivered to the installer. After that, absolutely ZERO communication about the carpets and when they would be arriving. My husband and I called probably 5 times only to be 1. put on hold for upwards of 20+ minutes, 2. told that the manager wont be in until later, 3. endlessly ringing phone, 4. transferred between departments with no real answers. Finally, we called installation services and were told our 'runner' was holding things up, because it wasn't properly seamed. SIX WEEKS after beginning the process, and after numerous calls and complaints, they came to install our carpet and IT WAS THE WRONG CARPET. (And my husband and 2 year old were all living in the dining room because we couldnt move our furniture into the bedrooms they were putting carpet in) I'm currently on phone call number 7 with customer installation trying to get this resolved with compensation for this nightmare. I keep getting the answer "A manager will contact you about this request" with not ONE phone call from management so far.

Phone to check availability before you go. When it says something is in stock on the store website, it's always sold out.

When I went to return something that was not worth 30 dollars, the lady who told me about it made me feel bad.

I bought a KitchenAid double oven which I have loved ever since. It was the mid November and I needed it by Thanksgiving and they accommodated me! I got a great deal--the Black Friday discount as that was in effect for the whole month. I'm in the market for a clothes washer, and I will be going there first!

When we realized our Frigidaire refrigerator was on its last legs and we urgently needed a new one,…read morewe chose P.C. Richard & Son, largely because it's the closest appliance store to our house. We did our research, knew what we wanted, and discovered that all the local stores had identical pricing. So it came down to who could deliver the quickest. P.C. Richard was our first (and, ultimately, only) stop. We were not accosted immediately upon entering, but allowed to wander among the rows of refrigerators on display. When we located the model we'd seen online, the salesman was quick to get our sale completed and our delivery set up. Delivery occurred three days later, and that's where the dissatisfaction began. Our delivery window of 1-4PM got later throughout the day, and delivery finally occurred at 5:15PM, during dinner time and a substantial rainstorm. No courtesy call to let us know they were on the way; I just happened to look out my window and there they were, unboxing my fridge in the rain. Had they let me know they were en route, I could've emptied the old fridge and freezer in advance. I don't want to say the delivery guys were inept, but... why unpack the fridge in the truck and carry dripping wet components into the customers' home? Why not carry the box into our garage and unbox it there? Also, they seemed annoyed that I wanted to wipe the rain off each piece, thereby slowing them down; they didn't bring a ladder and had to use our step stool; and in their haste to get it installed and on to the next customer, they left pieces of plastic wrap embedded under the door handles. Plus, they scratched our freezer drawer. Nice fridge that's working well (a week into ownership), but the delivery experience left much to be desired.

We've worked w/SK Lavery before and they were our first call. After our visit to the store, everything was discussed over the phone and Joe was on top of everything with recommendations and insights. The installers were top notch and got the job completed in under 2 hours today. Working with the entire crew was easy-peasy and we're more than satisfied, especially because they made what seemed like custom work so straightforward. Love these guys!

The dryer also scorched an expensive comforter and now requires multiple cycles just to dry a normal load. I contacted SK Lavery several times and spoke with Tiffany. While she did schedule a service call (for a brand‑new machine), she made it clear that I was expected to deal with Speed Queen directly. SK Lavery delivered a defective product yet refused to take ownership or provide real support. This is not the SK Lavery I once trusted. They may sell high‑end appliances, but they do not stand behind them. Once they have your money, you're on your own. This situation could have been handled easily if SK Lavery had taken responsibility instead of shifting the burden onto the customer. Until they change course, I strongly recommend staying away--there are plenty of reputable high‑end appliance dealers who still value accountability and customer service.

I have very mixed feelings about this location. The first…read moretime I came here (back in September), I was told that if I dropped my phone off before 3pm it would be fixed the same day. I arrived a little after that, and my phone was repaired and ready the next day with no issues -- so my first experience was positive. Four months later, my screen started malfunctioning with no physical damage, which should have been covered under warranty. I scheduled an appointment online for Monday, drove 30 minutes, and when I arrived the store was closed, even though both the website and phone system still said they were open. There was no notice or update. I called the next day before driving there again and was met with attitude about them not notifying anyone they had been closed. When I arrived later that afternoon around 4:15pm to drop off my phone, the entrance still wasn't shoveled. I had to climb through snow just to get inside. The next day, I was charged $99 by my insurance because the claim was automatically changed from "warranty" to "accidental damage," even though the repair was not accidental. (This was done by the insurance company, not the store.) When I went to pick up my phone, I was told my SIM card tray was missing -- which was not true, as it was in the phone when I handed it over. It was inside an OtterBox-style case that snaps together, so it couldn't have just fallen out. The employee I originally gave the phone to claimed it was never there, while the employee helping me at pickup (who was much kinder) offered to order a replacement. I ended up ordering one myself because either way I would have had to wait two days -- but if the store ordered it, I would have had to drive 30 minutes back to pick it up. It made more sense to just pay the $6 and have it delivered to my house. That said, I want to give huge credit to the second employee who helped me with the insurance issue. He spent nearly an hour on the phone fighting with the insurance company, dealing with dropped calls and transfers, all while still helping other customers, just to make sure I wasn't wrongly charged. He didn't have to do that, and I truly appreciate him for going above and beyond. Because of him, my experience went from incredibly frustrating to being handled with genuine care and effort. I just wish the overall process, scheduling, and communication, was more consistent and professional.

I was highly disappointed in the customer service at this location. I made an appointment the…read moreprevious day to have my Xbox repaired. I showed up within the specified window. I was told, in a dismissive tone, I needed to go to Manchester (about 30 min away) as they did not have a tech on staff to fix a Xbox. I asked why no one had called me to let me know they would be unable to fix my xbox at this location, before I drove 45 minutes to get there. I was told by the worker that he has hundreds of appointments and can't look at all of them. I told him a quick look would have shown an Xbox repair that they would be unable to service. His overall tone was dismissive and showed a complete lack of customer service. I went out to the parking lot and set up an appointment at the Manchester location, and was pleasantly surprised when someone called me from there within minutes to verify my repair request. Again, in my mind, disproving the claim from the worker at the Newington location being unable to keep track of what appointments are upcoming. I would like to add that, weirdly, the floor was covered with small bits of old food. Very disgusting. Overall, the customer service and cleanliness of this location is lacking. I will definitely be going to the other location and will not return here. I do not recommend using this location.
