Why You Might Consider Alternatives
Be aware of these potential issues before visiting:
- Inconsistent Customer Service: While many staff are praised, some encounters can be negative. One review describes being approached by staff who seemed pushy. Another customer had a negative experience involving the owner.
- Potential for Misinformation: Be cautious, as some customers have reported receiving incorrect information about products or promotions, specifically regarding Afterpay availability and sale terms.
- Product Quality Concerns: If you're looking at Ziegler and Brown products, especially those considered high-end, be aware of potential quality issues. One customer experienced rust on a stainless steel fridge, despite it being used under cover, and had a negative experience with warranty/customer service.
- Warranty and Customer Service for Certain Products: If you purchase a high-end product, ensure you understand the warranty and customer service protocols before buying. This is especially important for exclusive brands carried by the store.
- Rude Staff Interactions: Some customers have encountered rude staff, including the owner.
- Pressure Tactics: Be prepared for staff potentially approaching you to sell products.
- Unwillingness to Accommodate: Some staff may not be flexible with sale terms, even with large deposits, leading to lost opportunities.
