Great experience UNTIL it wasn't!!
I don't respond to these in fact I don't even read them because half are not real customers but this one is.
All I can say is she had a bad experience and still gave me a 4 so I must be doing something right.
$60.00 per yard and $20.00 for shipping was the fabric cost in my initial quote via email for an average cost comparable fabric but as I always say whatever one it matches to is what will be because matching old fabric is not an easy task.
When I checked stock on the fabric which I did right in front of them I conveyed that this fabric was from a commercial supplier and $120.00 per yard and they agreed that it was worth it, the only possible match because they were very fussy and only 2 yards so not a problem.
Obviously they seem to have forgot this part of the experience since I am doing this now.
The issue came up after they left when I placed the order they informed me that there was a min. order and that the shipping cost was higher.
Rather than have them back in or send them somewhere else to find the fabric I took it upon myself to make it happen and take the hit on the fabric for them so I did take the 5 yards. I figured they would be happy to get ALL I repeat ALL the fabric at cost and end up with some extra (huge sectional and this is the only fabric that matches all I am saying) even at my expense over what it would have been if I had just charged for the 2 yards.
There was no deception I was out of the office when they called to say they were coming and I thought I would be back in time to do the invoice but if you have driven in Toronto lately plans don't always work out. I was contacted when they got to the office ahead of me and I instructed the staff to give them the cushion and I would catch up to them later. Later I did do the invoice and send it and the reply I got was basically that they were not going to pay until I gave them the supplier. At this point I admit I am getting tired of them and there was a lot of back and forth as they are not the most trusting of people which I should have picked up on quicker. The supplier was on the invoice as a 2 letter code to save space and not a secret and along with that is the fabric name and colour which would work if they wanted to google it. Naturally in the end I gave them supplier name but not because of the ransom request. The best part is they wanted to know what I was going to do with the extra fabric ... Robert Owner
