I should have asked for a sales person that did not need to give me a sales pitch

Matt was perturbed by the fact that I did not need the sales pitch. I’ve purchased from ET (34 years) and I just need to purchase the carpet.

I’m still waiting for my second invoice.

poor customer service

The initial install in one day, got split into two days. We did not get an install time until 2o minutes prior to arrival. We then got a date change for the 2nd part of the project. I called and requested a manager call back as we expected some sort of compensation-We have yet to get a call back!!!
