            Product Issues
            Status:
            Answered
            The company's installers installed a bear box blocking access to a utility box. We marked the *** on the ground, and it was installed where placed. However, our neighbor identified the issue to the installers as they were installing, and they said they would call us. They did not call us and installed the box. We requested the box be moved once we discovered the issue. We asked if we could negotiate a discounted rate to move it based on the company's mistake. The company arranged the bear box to be moved with us, and we assumed that it would be free because we were not told there would be a charge. Then we received an invoice for the full price of moving the box ($345). We requested that the Company provide a discount because we were not aware we would be charged, and it was moved because of the Company's mistake. They threated to charge us interest if we paid late. We should be refunded this amount as it was not made clear to us that we would be charged for the service, nor should we be charged for the company's mistake.
