Well in the month of May I started pricing backyard sheds. I come accross a website, Barns.com. The prices were very competative, so I called in and placed an order with a gentlemen by the name of Dan O'Rourke. I ordered a 12x20x9 with 9x7 Garage door, 1 walk-in door and 2 windows, for a quoted price of $3000.00. Seemed like a good deal, within reason against the prices in my local area. This is where my nightmare began. They sent the order to Coast to Coast Carports in Arkansas. After a month, I've not heard a word from anyone, after taking my 10% deposit. So I started the phone calls.. Called Daniel, he said call Carports, it's in their hands. So I call Carports, they said that the shed was quoted wrong and waiting on a response from Daneil of what to do. So I call Daniel back, he said he was unaware of this.. so I get them together.. Now they want another $1000, but Daniel said, , wait. I'll take care of this..they can build it for the price I quoted you. So I wait another 3 weeks.. by now we are in the 1st week of July--with no shed. So I start calling everyday to both places, about every 4th call, the price changes.. So I start asking for a refund, , they (Daniels manager Tracy) said they don't give refunds.. So I start calling Tracy everyday.. Oh, , carports can't do it..not enough work in Illinois. So they send the order to TNT in NC.. after 2 weeks with these liars...and dealing with Tracy who is a manager, can't keep her lies straight. They said they can't do it.. So now I'm with American Steel, who said it would be another 3-6 weeks..Thats in September...And I still have no shed.. But they keep taking my money, and keep uping the price..
Bottom line..STAY AWAY FROM BARNS. COM, COAST TO COAST CARPORTS, TNT CARPORTS!!! They are theifs, liars and completly dishonest!!!
There is more to this story, but you get the just of it..
