Previous customer (sod, pinestraw, etc). Stopped by in Feb for playset. Asked about time frame, delivery, box to surround with soft filler and setup/install of all. Was told one week for playset to arrive to the warehouse for pickup and a couple days for setup. Ok. I placed my order.
Sales guy was in my neighborhood on delivery later that day so checked out our yard and marked possible location. That placement didn't work for us, so he was going to come out that following Monday to discuss options and get measurements for playground box.
No call. No show.
Waited a week. No call. No show.
Waited two weeks. Still no call. No show.
Going into week THREE, my husband called and inquired on our order and when someone was coming by to discuss location and material needed for the playset. He was told they would get back to us later that day.
No call. No show.
Week FOUR. My husband calls again and is told someone will come by that Saturday at 11am.
No call. No show.
Husband calls AGAIN around noon.... he is told someone will be there soon (please note, we live less than 2 miles away from Pinestraw Place).
When the gentleman arrives he does not knock, but rather calls to say he's here and walking to back yard. We meet him there and begins with an excuse as to his tardy arrival. Ok... whatever... When we show him the location we want for the playset he doesn't measure, just stands there and ballparks an estimate for materials. He then proceeds to explain that the railroad ties he had suggested before were not available anymore because their supplier isn't responding to them. And suggests a lower quality option.
He asks us when we wanted to have this done to which my husband responds... "yesterday." And then he tells us that the playsets are backordered and if he ordered that week it would probably be THREE WEEKS before it came into the warehouse. But, wait...?!?! I placed my order at their location a month before?!?!
Needless to say, we told him we would go elsewhere. And honestly, I don't leave negative reviews often, expecially for local businesses, but this isn't just about poor business practices, or the excuse after excuse after excuse... It's not even about wasting my time & my husband's time. This is about a 6 year old boy. It ruined something he was excited about. That is not ok.
