      I purchased an Electrolux washer and dryer which was delivered on 11/30/2023.I noticed that there were dents, not dings, dents on 2 of the 3 sections in the drum of the washing machine on 12/8/2023. I called Albert Lee ********, spoke with ******, and asked to have someone look at the washer and was instructed to send photos and sales order/receipt. ****** said that he would forward the information and photos to customer service.I was contacted by ***** at Albert Lee customer service, requesting for photos of the dents and my customer number which I sent to him on 12/11/23.I was then contacted by ***** at Albert Lee customer service letting me know that the only thing they could do for is to offer me $25 in compensation which I found insulting after having spent over $2K for both items. ***** told me that I would need to work with my original salesperson, ******* to resolve.I immediately called ******* at Albert Lee to explain the situation and she told me that I would need to work with customer service. I told ******* that I have already spoken with ***** from customer service, and he said that I need to work with you, the original salesperson that sold me the washer and dryer.******* said that she would look into this and get back to me. ******* called me back same day and said, thats how the machines come, with dents, which is normal and stated that the floor model has dents in it too. ******* also said that to get the machine replaced, I would need to pay $200 to have Albert Lee ******** pick up the machine and an additional $75 to have the replacement machine delivered. When I confirmed her statement, she then said that she would need to check with her sales manager, hes off until Thursday and would return my call Thursday morning.******* called me this morning, her sales manager said that they cant do anything because the items comes from the flawed from manufacturer.

      I am VERY pleased with the interactions I had with Albert Lee Appliances to date. My journey started when I purchased a "scratch and dent" ** Top-Loading washing machine from the *********** Location. I was assured it was only there for a cosmetic scratch, and ** would honor their 1 year parts warranty, if any problems arose.Upon installation, the machine showed signs of defect, and was displaying an "LE" error (load off balance). I tried all diagnostic steps before I called the store back to advise them of the issue I was having.The sales staff forwarded my request to Albert Lee's **************** team for processing. **************** reached out to me and arranged for an ** service person to come and diagnose the issue I was having with the new machine.** Service determined the drum was damaged (possible the machine was dropped). That report was delivered to Albert Lee, and for whatever their reason was, they determined they did not have to honor their warranty to replace my machine.Fortunately for me, ****** realized this was not a fair practice by ** so he sought approval from his manager, to have Albert Lee replace my washing machine, or use the amount I paid, applied to another make or model. It turns out the machine I purchased as "scratch and dent" retailed for $400 more. Seeing this as a barrier to replacement, the salesperson at Albert Lee, Cliff, offered the same ** machine to me at a reduced cost. Knowing I may have to pay more out-of-pocket to get a working machine, ***** made the transaction a lot easier than I anticipated and I was happy to only have to pay <$200 more than I originally paid.I will recommend Albert Lee to anyone I speak with because of this experience!Thank you!
