As a pastor i look for businesses such as this one who post a testimony of their relationship with the Lord. In dealing with the issue of the install now being estimated well past their 120 day goal I hit some snags in dealing with the company. However Alan himself expressed that his desire was to make things right and that is exactly what he did. A person's character shines true when the situation becomes difficult and in this case Alan showed his genuine concern for his customers.
When I ordered my carport on-line I selected the color CLAY for my sides. At the time I made my selection selection CLAY was a fairly dark, reddish color. By the time Alan's arrived to install my carport, at least 4 months later the color of my sides were very different from what I'd ordered. As of now the color listed as CLAY on their website has changed to a light tan & the color I'd ordered is no longer available. I had ordered a sandstone roof and on my installed carport I can't tell the difference between the color of the sides and the roof. On-line when I designed my carport the CLAY was darker & redder & set off the sandstone roof nicely. Now the carport appears to be entirely the same color and looks dull and kind of ugly. Also, my garage doors were not installed correctly and need to be corrected as they can't be latched. Also they latch from the outside, which seems kind of dumb and adds the need for a padlock to secure them. The actual installation of the metal building was well done though. Overall my experience with Alan's Factory Outlet was not a good one. I wouldn't deal with this company in the future. I was never informed of the color changes or contacted to see how my installation had gone and I feel cheated.
Best prices I've seen and he absolute worst customer service I've ever seen. My brother and cousin are looking to purchase a metal carport and I've informed them to look elsewhere
So far very easy to order, the website is well laid out and easy to understand and navigate.
Poor communication, scheduling problems and sloppy followup.
Dealing with Alan's was a pleasant experience. Prices were good and the service level was outstanding. The installers were on time and did a great job. I will use Alan's in the future.
I was extremely happy with time for delivery, except they were just a little later than expected, but they were quick and efficient. The quality was as expected and I am happy with the product.
You made the ordering process very easy, thank you. I hope the product and installation will be just as much a pleasure, if so, I will be a very excited customer!
Order process was easy to use and the number of available options was impressive.
Questions about the options were answered quickly and professionally.
Everything went very smoothly. The installers were punctual and wasted no time at getting the RV Port erected. The quality of the materials was very good and the RV Port should last many, many years.
I had a great experience. The product was as expected, and once the carport was installed everything was great. My only issue was the time it took to get it here, and then get it installed
It was a very good experience! The crew who installed the building were great and very friendly. Also the staff who set up the appointment were great as well! I'm very satisfied!
The girl that I spoke with about delivery was very rude and unprofessional. Otherwise I am pleased with the product and the quality and price of the structure.
I really liked the way Alan's Factory Outlet website let me design my purchases. It made it easy to play with my design until I could specify exactly what I wanted to purchase.
Candise helped me yesterday and answered all, and was very helpful. In addition the driver showed up at the allotted time and was finished in 1 1/2 hours. Great job.
I had good experiences with everyone i dealt with through the process at Alan's Factory Outlet. And i like the carport. It seems well built and the installation itself was quick and easy.
As my possible delivery date came closer, i called to see if they had any idea where i was on the schedule because i had a lot going on at the time and was trying to make sure i could plan around the delivery. Customer service at AFO directed me to call the manufacturer, North Carolina Carports. I called them once a week or so for like 3 weeks once we passed the 2 month expected waiting period, trying to check on if they had any idea when i would come up on the schedule. And through the 2-3 people i talked to each time getting directed around. Most of them immediately caught an attitude and were rude. One lady blatantly hung up on me. I was trying to be courteous the whole time but was really rubbed the wrong way with the customer service from the manufacturer. I like the carport, and i like AFO, but if i ever need another carport, i think I'll be shopping elsewhere.
Everything was just as expected.
The buildings look great.
The installation crew were very fast and efficent in there assembly and were nice.
Very pleased with the entire experience.
Great experience last time in 2015. Expecting the same great service this time.
My expectations were exceeded. I have no issues at all. Love my Carports and I love this company.
I waited and waited. If I were to guess, they forgot to schedule the instillation. The web sight said it would be installed in 4 to 6 weeks with a 10% chance it would be either a bit early or a bit late. In week 6 after I signed the contract I was told it would be installed with in two weeks and I would receive a call to schedule the instillation. No call and no instillation. I called back in week 9 asking what the problem was. Again, it would be installed within two weeks, and would get a call to schedule. No call. Late in week 10, I called back to ask why I didn't get a call. I got a very apologetic lady, who told me she was very sorry about the instillation and would call me back with the schedule. She told me it would be Monday of the next week, and I would receive a call from the instillation crew when they were on their way. On the Monday, by noon, I had not received a call, so I called to see if the instillation was still on, and was told it was and the crew would call. The crew showed up about 4:30 PM, but no call. They finished just as it got too dark to see. The actual vendor was Carolina Sheds and Alan's Factory Outlet sells on commission and Carolina Sheds subcontracts the instillation. If I get another shed, and I might, I will look for another vendor.
Ordering was very simple with the choices given.
We were very happy with the carport, exactly like we thought it would be. Very professional installers. Couldn't be happier
Thanks
Great website, easy to chose options, good prices, and excellent installation crew! If I ever need another building or carport I'd only use Alan's Factory Outlet!
Easy to understand. Questions answered on the site!
Fast delivery & installment.
Have recommended Alan's 3 times since ours was put up!
Absolutely satisfied!
You have the easiest website to shop at, I looked at others and came back to yours because shopping was simple and I picked out what I wanted with no help.
They job was quick and easy. The install team had a hard time with english but we were able to work through that after some time.
Site was quick and easy but delivery took way longer than I expected. Ordered one locally a couple of years ago and got it in 2 weeks.
Website was by far the only company that would let me make my own quote and know exactly what I was getting. Very customer friendly.
I'm very happy with my new carport! I highly recommend Alan's to anyone! These guys did an awesome job from start to finish!
Love the virtual building tool. It was so helpful in designing our cover. I Can't wait to get our camper covered and protected.
