We are sorry this process was frustrating, Selena. Orders that involve quantity changes and custom painting can sometimes require a little extra coordination, but you should still receive timely responses along the way. We appreciate you sharing your experience and will review this internally so we can improve communication moving forward.

The communication started through your website and then switch to emails. What I was asking for and what I got did not match. I will need to modify parts to make this racking work.
