This company was dishonest and unprofessional. I just finished a remodeling project and ordered all of my plumbing supplies through Cregger Company. Regina, the sales rep, spent a good amount of time with me showing my different options, and we went into detail about the price of every of every item. I was spending a good deal of money at this store and asked Regina if she could come down on a number of items as each item was actually cheaper online. I was willing to pay a little more to have "someone on my side" as she explained and to have the personal contact between the company and my contractor and plumber. I received the final bill from the contractor that just listed the plumber's total charges. The itemized list from Cregger was not included, but when i asked for it the plumber immediately provided it. All of the prices were about 10% higher so i called Cregger. Regina said she would take care of it. I did not hear back from her and called again. She had talked with Tim her supervisor who said that this was the price plus the plumber's markup. I spoke with the plumber who said that usually he is given a discount then a markup is added so the quote and the final price are very close. This did not happen in this case. My complaint was that i was charged over $1000 more than i was told i would be charged. I asked Cregger to show me a receipt of what my plumber paid them. They said they would not show me that. I explained that i was never told there would be a markup , and we had spent hours working on prices that would fit my budget. A company cannot charge significantly more and never inform the customer. They are trying to put this issue off now by saying I am not their customer, but the plumber is their customer. I am sure they considered me their customer when i was choosing supplies totaling almost $10,000. It has been a month with many phone calls. Each call ends with Tim or Regina saying they will take care of it. Then i never hear from them again. DO NOT GO TO CREGGER. This transaction was very dishonest. I am sure they assumed i would never see the bill.
Description of Work: I ordered $10,000 worth of plumbing supplies though this company for a remodeling project. I came into the shop several times and worked personally with Regina the sales rep.

Response from CREGGER CO INC
I have reviewed the transactions and it was handled in the normal course of common business practices in our industry. A quote was presented to Member based on her cost of materials, if purchased by her. In this instance, she chose to have her plumber purchase the materials at his price and then her determines the price he will charge his customer, who in this case was Member. We have no control over his pricing to her, but assume she would have received a quote from the plumber prior to the start of her project. I find no mis-representation on the part of our company.
