I would have given them ZERO stars, but I had no choice but to give them one star.
I have never experienced anything close to the fraudulent interaction I had with Build.com yesterday.
I would consider myself an educated consumer and order a lot of merchandise online, and I can tell you that Build.com is by far the worst online company with the worst cancellation and refund practices I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with.
Now that I have done my research (I should have looked them up BEFORE I got tangled up with them), I see that Build.com has thousands of complaints against them and one of the worst online company ratings I have ever seen.
They tout themselves as a website for builders, but in reality, they are in the business of ripping people off.
I also noticed after my unfortunate dealings with them, that they have no cancellation policy. I am assuming thats because they make it nearly impossible for unsuspecting customers to cancel their orders.
I am hoping to get a full refund of the $1,970.11 they fraudulently charged me. But regardless of what Build.com decides to do, I was luckily able to dispute the charge through my credit card company.
Build.com lied about delivery and then lied about the order being processed a half an hour after I placed it, even though I was sent an email letting me know that the order would not be delivered until 3/5/18, despite their promise that the delivery would be received on 2/9/18.
Build.com is nothing more than liars, who deceptively and purposefully engage in fraudulent business practices.
Until I receive a full refund, I have decided to spend my entire day and days until my refund is posted, sending out bad reviews about Build.com.
DO NOT order anything from Build.com unless you are prepared for nothing but aggravation. And be aware that canceling orders once they are placed is all but impossible.
From the reviews (all really bad) that I have seen on BBB, this is their modus operandi.
In many of the online complaints, I see that their business practice is to give people an extremely hard time canceling orders, even if it is immediately after ordering, as was my unfortunate experience. And getting a refund is also near impossible, so good luck.
You should also be careful when ordering on Amazon that Build.com is not the seller.
From what I've read, they they find a way to rip people off through Amazon as well.
Great customer service and prices. They will match lower prices!
Answer: Please respond to written review on them...
Answer: Do Not order from them. Horrible customer service and quality.
Answer: I don't know how you can actually get them to answer the correct lead time. I received an estimated ship date when I ordered an American Standard faucet. Then, they emailed me 3 more times with delays. I called them after the first delay, and while I was on the phone with the agent, she placed me on hold and called American Standard, and said they told her that there would be no more delays. After this last delay, I called to cancel the order. They said they would "request cancellation" from American Standard. The big problem is they charged my account IMMEDIATELY when I ordered the product, but won't refund the money until American Standard confirms the cancellation. The service agent i spoke with escalated to her supervisor, and the supervisor is the worst person I have ever encountered when dealing with customer service.
Answer: Sorry to hear that. What finish were you trying to match? Usually its best ti use the same brand name when trying to match a finish, such as a Moen faucet to match a Moen towel bar or towel ring. That is because everybody has their own technique of making their products. I wonder if the finish on your new American Standard faucet is doesn't match because the other item you're matching in not made by American Standard. You should be able to return it if it hasn't been installed in any way and you still have the original packaging. The return items page has complete directions that make it fairly easy to send items back. Good Luck! Anthony
Answer: I have ordered several times from them. I have never had a problem! I have even returned an item before, no problem. Glad i didnt see these reviews before I ordered because they do not reflect the experiences I have had! I am a happy customer
Answer: Don't order from them. The quality is horrible and they sent me a damaged piece and I'm responsible for bringing it to the dump.

While we do have an occasional defect get sent out, we are always quick to send a new one out to the customer. We also communicate via email if there are any back order issues with the manufacturer that were unforeseen. Thank you!
