On 4/9/24 my husband and I went to Famous Tate to buy a stove and microwave. We selected both totaling $1,105.76 and put down a $200 deposit. We were told that before the appliances could be delivered that we had to call Florida Premier Services and have them come to our house to evaluate what needed to be done electrically for hookup of the new appliances. FPS came on 4/16/24. They charged us $50, pulled out the bottom drawer of our oven and said we needed to hire an electrician to put in a plug for the microwave. FPS gave us an estimate of their future charges $35 - $375 to remove old and install new microwave with backsplash and $75 - $125 for a $220 outlet for stove. We then set a date to have the work done and the new appliances delivered. FPS called Famous Tate to confirm date.. Famous Tate then called me and said the stove and microwave were on back order and wouldn't be available until at least June. They had never volunteered this info when we purchased the appliances. I told them we could not do without a stove for 2 months. They did agree to refund our deposit. We went to Lowes that evening and purchased the same stove and microwave. Lowes was great charged us $50 for delivery and removal of old appliance. We had a private4 electrician install the appliances.
Famous Tate never told us it would take them over 2 months to get the appliances.
Florida Premier Services is a rip off. They charged us $50 to look at the stove and remove the bottom drawer and were going to charge us over $500 to deliver, install (not including the microwave plug by a private electrician) and remove the appliances. Their estimate sheet does not list an address only a phone number. read more
