  We are building a house and ordered windows for our new build in November 2021. We have used a contractor for some things, but have also been very hands on with the build.When I met with ********************* at the *** store in **********, ** in the summer of 2021 at his office, I specifically told him I did not want grids in the windows because we have a lake view. He told me that he would make the adjustment on the final order.The windows did not arrive until the end of February 2022. When we opened the boxes, the windows had grids in them. Additionally, we were missing several windows and screens. I talked to **** again and he told me the windows were ordered based on the house plans. I reminded him of our conversation and he told me he did not remember it. We compromised to split the cost three ways (***, the contractor, and us) of replacing the windows for the back of the house. It took 2 more months for **** to get the order right. I contacted the corporate office, but no one ever returned my call.When the new order arrived in August or September 2022, a dining room window was tempered (as if it was for a bathroom). I contacted the contractor who told me he would notify ****. I did not receive a response from the contractor so I contacted **** directly. He did not respond to me until October 19, 2022, when he told me he ordered a new window sash. As of today, I still have not received the sash or a response from the company. I have also not received all of the screens for the windows.*** has stated they work directly with contractors, however, we are the owner/builder of the house and only use our contractor for a few things. Regardless, I am the paying customer and did not get what I paid for after nearly a year and a half. This is unacceptable customer service.I reached out to corporate again and did not receive a response. I am only asking for what I paid for, the correct windows and screens.

  **** has been in contact with customer via email. The window screens have been reordered as promised.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 01/19/2023

  They said the screens have been ordered, but they do not mention the window sash. I have been told before things were ordered, only to find out months later they were not. We will see if he comes through this time.

  I received an email and was told the window that was supposed to be here last week will not be in until April 4. This is how it has been for this entire process. Supposedly the window was order last October, but then after my complaint **** told me he ordered it again. So honestly I have no idea when it was ordered. Also have not received an update on my screens.

  ******************* (Branch manager) emailed the consumer yesterday (2/27) that the screens and window would be in on March 14 - see below:

  I am sorry for this delay . ******** sent me a new updated ship date is 3/14 which is 2 weeks as soon as they hit the dock door you will be my first call .

  I do not believe the delivery will be made on 3/14 because of all the past issues. I would like this ticket to retain open until I actually receive the items.

  We finally received the correct window and some of the screens. But there are some missing and others that were the wrong size. I am so over dealing with this company.

  We are happy to work with your contractor to fix any issues with sizing of the screens.  The screens were ordered as specified so not sure how the manufacturer shipped us the wrong size.

  Please work with your contractor on this. We are a "wholesale distributor" and sell to professional contractors - so working with your contractor to get this sorted out is the best option.

  The problem clearly lies with the distributor continuing to get the order wrong. I dont see why someone cannot come out and see for themselves what the issue is with the screens. It is customer service both the the contractor and the customer. I paid for a service and have yet to receive what I paid for.

  Windows were purchased from abc supply which is authorized dealer for *******.

  Date: 12/30/2022

  I have placed this order a3 months ago thru abc supply located on East Washington st. They took $30 k promising it will be delivered in 6-8 weeks. They changed the delivery time to December 23rd. They now changed it to January. We need to move into the house but we cant because we took existing windows thinking they we would install them in 8 weeks. Kitchen and appliances cant be delivered because the home is not secured. We are in very difficult situation because of this.

  From the manager of the Little Rock store:  I just got off the phone with ***********************. His home had a significant fire and he is repairing/remodeling it. When he approached us about ordering windows, he wanted Wincore and asked what their lead time was. We called Wincore with him standing at the counter and were told it was currently 3 weeks. We warned him that we have had problems with longer lead times from Wincore but he wanted to order them anyway. He pulled the old windows out of the house 2 weeks later expecting the new windows to arrive at 3 weeks, which they did not. Over the course of the next 2 months,we both have called Wincore and the widows still are not here.  They are currently in shipping and should be here soon.  He also never covered up the holes and has had problems with the drywall, homeless people stealing *************. I explained to him that most builders right now are covering up the window holes with plywood and he should consider doing that. I also told him we would find out exactly when the windows will be here and would let him know. He told me he intended for his BBB complaint to be against Wincore, not **** Please let me know if you need any more information. Thanks.

  In February of 2022 we placed an order with ***** at ABC supply for our new construction windows. I have proof of follow up with ***** to ensure the order was placed at that time. We subsequently followed up on several occasions to check on status of our order and was told it would be delivered in July. When our windows did not show up in July, we were told the vendor would not return their calls. However, when I called the vendor directly I had no problems getting through and was also able to find out that *** did not place the order in February as requested but it had been placed in May. Long story short we did not receive our windows until October of 2022. ABC supply continued to lie to us about when they placed the order and even manually manipulated a document as proof to further support their lie. They continued to tell us it was the window vendor that was the problem. This 2 1/2 month delay in placing the order cost us over 10k in carrying costs for our storage and housing. We are seeking a reduction in our invoice to help offset our carrying costs that resulted from their miss and attempted cover up on placing our order as requested.PO#********

  From our branch manager: The delay in ordering was due to the homeowner/contractor changing sizes and not being 100% on what was needed exactly. 
  We did have a bit of extra delay with the ordering due to lack of communication from the homeowner to contractor to ***** and we recognized that, so in turn we decided to help this customer out. We agreed late last week to give them all of their windows at cost. Those PCR's are being done now and then they will owe the new total.

  I disagree with your response. We finalized and confirmed the order on 2/18/22 and there were no further changes from that point.  This is also the day we told him to place the order.  So if i had no changes and requested the order on 2/18, why was it not placed to Showcase until 5/4/22?  That is a 2 1/2 month delay that had a huge impact to us.  What is worse is that your sales man lied to us and attempted to manipulate documents to continue his lie that the order was placed in February when we requested it. See attached, you can see in bold where the order date was manipulated to be 2/15/22 however please call Showcase and they will tell you exactly the date they received the order.

  The customer signed off on a kitchen design that they wanted.  The cabinets were ordered and delivered.  The customers contactor installed the cabinets.  The customer decided they didnt like how the cabinets were and wanted to take one off.  Therefore the cabinet is not returnable.  We sent in and issued a credit for the part that was re-usable that they will be receiving.  ABC supply ordered the material as requested by the customer in which the customer decided they didnt like.  Material is non-returnable after installed and removed from original packaging.  We were able to find a home for some non-returnable items and issued a credit for those.
  
  The numbers do not match.$31.24 plus $78.54 = $109.58 plus tax in which they were refunded.

  Let us know if you have not received this refund.
