We picked out a carport at a distributor in New York state. A deposit was given on 5/18/2013. HBO contacted us on 6/10/2013 to let us know they would deliver and install it on 6/19/2013. Arrangements were made to use a vacation day to be on site so we could pay the balance due, and oversee the job. On 6/19/2013 we got a phone call at 12:30 p.m. and the HBO driver said he was "running behind but would be on location by 5:00 p.m". Not only did they NOT show up but they didn't even have the courtesy to call us. If the dirver had called after 5:00 p.m., we could have made other arrangements with a neighbor so the job would have gotten done. I called the office the next day and the manager claimed she was sorry but was unwilling to do anything other than apologize. She kept asking what would I like her to do? She felt she was generously offering to refund us our deposit with no consideration for lost time. No incentive to salvage the sale was offered for any inconvenience. We cancelled the sale and HBO made no effort to keep our business. The New York distributor was very frustrated as well and returned our deposit. My experience was very unpleasant and their staff is very, very unprofessional.
Description of Work: Was suppose to supply and install a carport.

Originally we picked out this carport at a distributer in New York State. A deposit was given May 18, 2013. HBO contacted us on 6/10/13 to let us know they would deliver and install it on 6/19/13. Arrangements were made to use a vacation day to be on site so we could pay the balance and oversee the job. On 6/19/13 we got a phone call at 12:30 PM saying HBO driver was running behind but would be there by 5:00 PM. Not only did they NOT show up, but they didn't even have the courtesy to call. Had the driver called we could have made other arrangements. I called the office the next day and the manager claimed she was sorry but was unwilling to do anything other than apologize. She kept asking me what would I like her to do? She seem to think refunding our deposit was all she could do. No incentive was offered for any inconvenience We cancelled the sale and HBO made no effort to salvage it. The New York distributor was very frustrated with them and had to refund our deposit. My expereience was very unpleasant and their staff is very, very, unprofessional.
Description of Work: HBO Was hired to supply, deliver and install a carport.
