Thanks to Rona completely botching the order, including ordering wrong materials in wrong sizes and promising delivery several times over the three months, Jamie made at least three trips to Powell River from Vancouver on the promise from Rona that his supplies had finally arrived only to discover every time that nothing was delivered on time or on spec.

We purchased vinyl plank flooring from this store. Their salesman talks a good line about how he…read morehas great installers and recommended someone to do not just our flooring but also to replace our double shower stall in the bathroom. We stupidly thought he would recommend someone who knew what they were doing. We had 3 weeks of very short working days (sometimes only 3 hours) so the job was going on and on. At the 3 week point, not one room in the house was finished. There were bits and pieces of trim left undone, bits of wood with nails lying around....and then they didn't show up at all one day. We didn't get even the courtesy of a phone call to let us know they would not be showing up. The 2nd time that happened in the same week, we'd had enough and told him it was over. He said he was too busy to show up that day because he works for a strata - that's more important. The way they treated our time showed a lack of respect. He sent his son the next day to finish the hall.....see picture - 2 3/4" inches out in a short hallway.....kind of like the carnival fun house feeling when you go down the hall because it's so crookedly laid. To date we have spent almost $1200 on finishing and redoing. And more to come - the big one with the floor having to be taken up in the hall and reinstalled. And all trim having to be redone. The carpet installer sent from the store sat here when she came to do the estimate and talked about how the last people she had worked for had not given her a big enough tip and she was not happy. We're getting carpeting from a flooring store in Parksville. Someone else is doing our bathroom. The salesman at the store does not seem too bothered at all by this. I guess it's business as usual. After speaking to the salesman about this, my husband came home to tell me that the plants were all on sale in the garden centre. But this business will not be getting another penny of my money. And people in the neighborhood who have asked how the reno is going......well, you can imagine yourself whether they will give them a try. This flooring department might be good if you are a do-it-yourselfer and do not rely on a solid (or even halfway good) recommendation.

Long story, short, the lumber was never delivered, but he is thriving. In fact, he called Windsor Plywood in Parksville today, over a YEAR later, and asked if a partial refund with a restocking fee would be possible. The store manager gave him a FULL refund, no restocking fee, and immediately credited his credit card, which means, as my Dad, so intelligently pointed out, it cost them money in credit card fees twice over and they didn't ask for a dime in consideration! We thought this level of customer service no longer existed. We are so grateful to Windsor Plywood for proving us so wrong. If you need lumber, get it from Windsor Plywood - they treat you right!
