wow, what scam artists. they advertsise that they are wholesale distributors of lighting to the public-- what a crock of s**t!
first of all, i found these people online, and i did some shopping on there. i called them to ask them some questions and found to see they were nearby where i live. right off the bat, the lady on the phone was rude, careless and she was extremely pushy! she harrased me to give her my phone number and name, etc. i didn't and just said i will be there soon to look around (guess they work on comisson, its just so obvious).
so, i make my way to this "showroom" which is in the middle of nowhere and in such a horrible enviorment i don't even know how i got out of my car. anyways, i walked in and was suprised how it looked. crystal everywhere and over-the-top decorating. if they want to make this place look like a cheap warehouse (like it looks from outside) im not sure why they designed it thinking they were in manhattan, def. wasnt!
anyhow, i was immediately harassed by this really pushy sales lady (sounded like who i spoke to on the phone?) and i just wanted to look before i needed her. i wondered around to find not such a large selection (nothing like their online selection) and prices missing on half the price tags. every time i asked for a price, she went to the computer and did some numbers on the calculator and told me--- whatever! i ended up finding something i thought was ok-priced and needed to ask a few questions. she had absolutely no idea what she was talking about and realy wasn't interested in anything but taking my money.
i bought the item, despire her persistance and lack of knowledge about lighting in general-- but asked if it didn't fit or work out if i can return it. she made it seem like it was a "hassle free" return if i needed to bring it back. well, why would i trust a thing this woman had to say? i'm not sure but i did. nevertheless, i brought the item home and decided to do some research with the actual item number online to see if it was cheaper. and sure enough, i found it about $200 less everywhere on the internet! i thought this place was "wholesale prices to the public". i called the woman the same evening, and she was extremely rude and said it was too bad. she hung up on me after i basically heard her rolling her eyes thru the phone.
i went back to the store when they opened the next morning with my husband. i found that this lame security guard they had at the desk paged this woman for me to come downstairs (i guess this place isn't busy enough to have more than one sales person, nor a sales person in the actual store, they hide upstairs until $$ walks thru the door), and she wouldn't come down. they said she was busy (maybe eating?!)... so i asked for a manager or the owner. clearly, this place doesn't care about their business, their reputation, and most importantly- their customers because the owner was clearly too busy for this, as well. i didn't want to return the item, just get an adjustment like any good store owner would do. they refused and i couldn't even speak to management or any other sales person in there.
this place treats their customers poorly, has a faciscious way of going about their business and does not reflect their advertisements that they are cheap! please, for your own good, shop elsewhere! read more
