      Answered
      I purchased 6 light bulbs that carried a 5 year warranty. The light bulbs have been a problem shortly after I purchased however Gross Electric was replacing them. Another bulb went out and spoke with the manager and she stated she would order. At that time, I asked her to order an extra since these bulbs keep going out. No follow up at all and kept calling on status. Finally 2 months later I was told sorry no replacement! I spent well over $20+ for each bulb! The replacement that they offered is not same lighting and much lower lumen. I don't understand why they would not reordering the original ones that I purchased. I asked for the owner to call me and still has not several weeks later! I am sure there are bulbs available with same lumen they are just being too cheap! Gross Electric, please honor your warranties and make this right! It is a shame that I have to file a complaint just to try and get resolution. So much for doing business with small, local owners! I bet if I had gone to a box store like ****** I would have immediate resolution.

      If you need to return an item, call ahead, only one person can handle. Oh, and then, by the way, there's a $70 restocking fee they forgot to mention at time of purchase. Very disappointing.

      ***, we are sorry to hear about this frustrating recent visit to our Toledo location. We apologize for the confusion over the return and restock of your hardware order. It has always been the policy of our hardware business to order exact quantities and items for our customers, and have this information printed on our invoices. We do not stock hardware because of it's exceptionally quick lead time (1 week, typically) and the unique selections and quantities that each project requires. Nevertheless, we always endeavor to walk with our customers through our necessary policies and as such, would love the opportunity to discuss this with you further and work towards a reasonable credit on a future hardware order. Please reach out to our Showroom Manager, ***** ****** with the details of your visit and to discuss this credit. We appreciate you giving us the chance to earn back your business and use this experience as a training opportunity for our new and seasoned staff.

      Thank you,
      The Gross Electric Team"
