So I went in to get some locks, high quality. The store is literally the size of a parking attendant booth, however they have licensing by BEST as an authorized dealer so I thought I would give them a try. This is the only reason they have 2 stars, best lock cert. otherwise it would be 1....
-They are primarily locksmith on call business and they make keys, however I wanted to order some double deadbolts. They have only one of each high quality lock on site, everything is on order unless I wanted to downgrade. So I got a quote of about 800 for the locks I wanted, fair priced for best locks if I self install etc etc... This is market value and its a good deal.
I come back and talk to them to place this 800 dollar order and now a different clerk does a price switch on me. I now have to pay DOUBLE, 1600 for 4 double deadbolts if I remember right. I go, "well I was quoted 800 last week and I wanted to place my order" clerk goes "let me check with the owner"
-The owner is sitting behind a tiny wall in this booth watching TV, he doesn't even have the common courtesy to walk out and talk with me when I CAN SEE HIM DIRECTLY. The shop is like an 8' by 10' store and this guys is pretending I don't exist.
-The clerk comes back and says that the other clerk has made an error and he can't sell them for less than that, no exceptions. I yell over to the owner, "I was quoted a price" and he kinda hollers back "That must have been joey, the young guy, he screwed up" Still not looking at me or coming out of his 'hidey hole'....
The clerk says sorry and asks if I want the locks, I said let me think on it...
YEP, NEVER went back... you can't give a man a price punch in the gut of 1600 big ones and not expect them to be ticked guys. Lets teach your employees how to read the order sheets and prices, its all laid out even if it WAS an error you need to own up as a business and not leave the little guy hanging here... even a fractional discount would have netted them my business for the error, but they stiffed me.
I'm a lock and load lifetime business guy, I would have reco'd this place up and down in all my housing work... but hey that's OK, you got yelp'd instead... read more
