Placed an order, paid, contract signed, delivery date set. Day of i called twice and second call, at delivery time, they tell me the piece isnt in delivery condition and the manager was supposed to call me to tell me and work out details. I didn't receive such call. Not good business from my view

If I could give a negative rating for delivery and installation, I would. The washer and dryer I purchased were NOT installed and working when your employee left my home.

You all screwed up my address, didn’t give me an option to set up my delivery date and sent me a signed contract for somebody else! If these things aren’t fixed immediately, I’m cancelling my contract! ***Update*** The call center and answering service are still terrible. However, the guys in the store and their District Manager are awesome! I’m glad I gave the in person option a shot.
