9 jaren geleden - Let me put here the next great thing that happened to me with these "champions".
I want just to put this here publicly so that when someone looks here, exactly knows who is he dealing with.
It sounds like an amazing sales technique after which I will probably activate my legal insurance.
After 4 months of waiting and having issue after issue for something that was suppose to take 5 weeks (order was made on 25th of October and delivery was done on 18th Of February), the top was mounted.
After the montage, I noticed that the thickness is completely wrong.
I have ordered 4cm top, where the stone is 2cm thick and is than esthetically made to look like 4cm, but they have used 1.2cm to make it look like 4cm.
I specifically wanted 2cm, since I know this is natural stone and I know that the dissipation of heat from the dishwasher bellow the top will be a problem for 1cm top.
After I complained, I was ignored for 4 months, and finally (after sending countless number of emails waiting for replay) I got some crappy explanation, that the guy that did the measuring wrote down it should be 1.2cm.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?
I agree on what needs to be done with a salesperson, which creates a price for me, and than they use the details form the measuring guy.
When I told them that this dones not make sense at all, they came up with a purchase order on which there is no signature of mine at all, on which there are internal codes, and they told me this "code" means 1.2cm.---WHAT?!?!?!?!? Are you kidding me??!?!?!?
When someone goes into a shop and asks for something and agrees on that, he expects that the sales guy giving him the word that this will be done is enough.
Nobody is expected to know your codes or whatever's, because this is your internal code and if there is no explanation what they are how can I see what it is? How can I check what it is? I can trust the sales guy's word, which in this case seems not to be enough.
Than after I asked for escalation, I got to a regional manager again and had a call with him.
And listen to this golden nugget now.
The expiation it self is awesome and it sums up my experience with this company in a nutshell.
First of all no apology that they made a mistake, which came as a bit of a surprise, but I soon got to know also why.
His answer on my complaint about the surface being too thin and I can feel the heat from the dishwasher was, quote (and I can not stress this enough, that this is amazing answer and shows the level of appreciation they have for customers): Well you requested 2cm, but we decided to make it 1.2cm since it looks the same. -WOW!!!!!! Now even better next sentence: "We always do this, and nobody complains" -WOW again.
Imagine your self going to a BMW dealer and you request to buy BMW series 3.
Than you say I want to get the 325 (2.5l engine)
You agree on the buying price.
Than they deliver you the car, and it is 318 (it looks the same, just the engine is 1.8l).
What will you do???
You are paying for 325 and specifically wanted this for a reason but it is cheeper for them to order 318 and sell it to you as 325.
Than they tell you, we always do this and nobody complains, so it is fine.
Nobody complaining to you, doesn't make it ok for you to do it.
So I complained now and obviously, you dont know how to handle it.
Now also I am posting this here and on every site for kitchens in the country that I can find, so people can find it, and next time when you say it is OK and nobody complanis, they will have a reference to tell you in your face that you are a LAIR.
