We (CMD Stone) are sorry to read this review by MW.
It is true we (CMDStone) were a bit flummoxed on the variation in colour when MW (the client/complainant) sent us the photos via text. Because of this issue we physically visited the worksite (something we'd not normally do) and we conceded that indeed the colours were wrong.
Note:
1) The 'wrong colour' slabs hadn't been de-boxed by us: these slabs were packed in Vietnam and then finally unpacked by your landscaper.
2) It also seemed strange to us that out of hundreds Vietnamese slabs already sold, adored by our clientele, you were the only client whom had a bad batch.
We agreed to swap out the 9x slabs which were the wrong colour (which MW then haggled up to 12x slabs) as a gesture of goodwill. We delivered the 12x new slabs (taking photos of each slab to prove they, as all our slabs, are of sellable quality). We also covered some of MW's costs for the removal of the 'wrong colour' slabs and relaying of the 12x correct, replacement slabs, as a gesture of goodwill. Slabs already laid are, normally, non-refundable, however we broke our own rules to try to satisfy MW.
Note:
1) MW verbally suggested that we not charge VAT, something which of course we're legally not able to do.
2) MW was also undercharged for a previous order due to CMDStone mistake, and MW was invited to pay the difference but MW did not wish to settle this outstanding balance
3) We're not sure why removing steps and risers is an issue relating back to CMDStone.
We do not want MW's future business as we've lost money in trying to satisfy MW. At every opportunity when we have conceded and tried to appease MW, MW has continued to immediately request additional free stock.
CMDStone desperately wants to distance from this client, as client is causing stress to individual staff and company in general.
I'd suggest other companies consider this individual prior to commencing a transaction. It’s a shame TrustPilot can’t offer companies reviews on clients.
Finally, the reader of this review would be urged to read other reviews authored by MW against other companies. The reader can then consider the common denominator in the 'issues'.
