Follow-up Review (additional to my previous 30K review)…read more I already posted a review before about my 30K payment where the deal didn't go through, and the company kept the money as credit while ignoring me when I ask for updates. I'm posting again because a new development made me seriously worried. I contacted the staff member who originally handled my deal , and this is what he wrote to me: "I have NOTHING to do with Salvex as they owe me a lot of money for commissions not paid. fyi. I am sorry this has happened, I am not sure about Salvex at this time." And he also wrote: "I really appreciate it and am very hurt that this has happened to several nice, good customers of mine at Salvex, that is why I had to leave, everyone thought it was me keeping there money but the fact was I was not getting paid either." After receiving this message from someone who used to work there and dealt with me directly, I'm now very worried about my 30K credit and whether this situation will ever be resolved properly. I have tried several times to use the credit, but nothing has been completed so far, and the lack of clear communication makes it worse.

I'm writing this to publicly warn everyone: Salvex is a scam…read more Over a year ago, I deposited $30,000 USD into my Salvex account. They've been holding my money as a credit balance ever since and refusing to return it to my bank account despite repeated requests. Every time I ask for a refund, they ignore me, delay the response, or simply go silent. They are refusing to return my own money. To try to recover at least some value from this situation, I recently placed a $30,000 bid on a product listed by a seller I personally know and trust. The seller contacted me directly and said my offer was "too low" and asked if I could bid higher -- which made no sense to me. Later, the same seller showed me screenshot proof that Salvex only presented him with an offer of $10,000, not the $30,000 I actually bid. In other words: I placed a $30,000 bid (I have full screenshots). Salvex only showed the seller a $10,000 offer. This isn't just poor service -- this is fraud. They are withholding customers' money, lying about bids, and manipulating offers between buyers and sellers for reasons I can only assume are dishonest or illegal. After more than a year, $30,000 of my funds are still stuck, and Salvex continues to avoid any accountability. I also know several other people who have had similar experiences with them, and I believe this is a pattern. I strongly advise everyone: stay far away from Salvex. This company is not trustworthy. I am now in the process of taking legal action, and I will not stay silent until this issue is resolved.

We heard about Builder's Surplus from the Nextdoor App. We are in the process of redoing our floors…read moreand wanted to compare flooring prices. They have a variety of household design supplies. We recently bought door knobs from Home Depot and saw the same brand here for half the price that we paid. The flooring section wasn't as extensive as we envisioned however, the prices were reasonable. We will definitely keep this business on the top of our list when we are considering home renovation options in the future.

I've completed redone 2 houses and bought a bunch of supplies from them at a fraction of the cost, from sprinklers, lights, butcher blocks, sinks, faucets, lots of paint and supplies, molding, trim, tiles... it's best if you go frequently and catch those limited stock items.

Inventory was anemic, lighting was inadequate, and customer assistance was limited to finger pointing. Given its proximity to universities (TSU, UH, HCC, etc.), one would have expected that some business majors would have undertaken this location as an academic project -- like I said, it has potential.

Ive literally been in this store so many times just to get prices and "Romero" has always helped me with his best intentions.
