Over the course of…read morethree months, David M. at the store measured our house, provided many samples of different flooring types, and created several different quotes (sorry for all the changes, David!) When the flooring arrived, a few boxes had been damaged in shipment. Without us even asking, the delivery documents described the damage and offered a refund or credit. This high level of service is the reason to choose a local vendor instead of an internet vendor. We tried getting samples from some online vendors, but it was clear those were more interested in getting our email addresses to spam us than helping us choose the right floor. Highly recommended!

Extremely poor customer service -- local customers deserve better…read more I reached out to Direct Flooring Outlet after seeing the reviews and wanted to get a local quote after finding the flooring I was looking for online. I used their website to request a free quote and was contacted by Dan Versman, the owner's son. Dan initially told me they would likely be able to match the price I had found and that he would put together a quote. What followed was one of the most frustrating customer service experiences I've had in a very long time. I received several one-sentence emails from Dan asking questions that I had already answered in my original email. Rather than continuing this back-and-forth, I simply asked if we could have a quick phone call to discuss it. No response. I then called the main office. The woman who answered gave me Dan's phone number and specifically told me to text him and that he would get right back to me. He never did. Not once. I waited until the following week, giving them plenty of time and being more than patient. Later that afternoon, I sent another email and called again. Eventually, at the end of the day, I received a response saying: "This isn't worth it for us, we're going to pass." That's it. I have worked in customer service for over 25 years, and this was honestly one of the worst experiences I've had dealing with a company. I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable. I was a local customer trying to purchase a substantial amount of flooring and simply wanted a quote and a conversation about pricing. What makes it worse is that I called the main office afterward specifically to explain my experience. I was told that Lou Versman would be informed and would call me back. He never called. At some point, businesses need to be accountable for the level of service they provide. If you say you're going to call someone back, call them back. If you say you're going to provide a quote, follow through. If you don't want the business, that's fine -- just communicate that professionally and promptly. Your website has a commercial talking about the level of service you provide to local customers. Based on my experience, that message does not match the reality of dealing with your company. I ended up having to order the flooring from over the hill, which was a major inconvenience, simply because a local company couldn't be bothered to follow through with a basic customer inquiry. And Dan Versman's lack of communication, respect, and professionalism was obvious throughout this entire experience. The lack of care and respect shown toward a potential customer speaks volumes about how seriously he takes the people who are trying to give his business their money. And Dan -- giving your own company a 5-star review and then the company responding to that review looks pretty crooked from a customer's perspective. At the very least, it raises some serious questions about the credibility of the reviews on this business. SMH. If you're looking for flooring, go somewhere else. There are companies that will actually communicate with you, follow through, and treat you with basic respect.
