      On 4/18/25 we put down a deposit of $1400.00 for carpeting with National Floors Direct. We were told that we would receive a contract by email and that we could resind by 4/22/25. We never received the contract. We called on 4/21/25 to cancel the order and was told that it wouldn't be a problem and that we would receive a refund. We called back again on 4/23/25 and spoke to ***** in accounting and she comfirmed that the order was canceled. On 5/8/25 our bank statement showed that they had cashed the check. When we called National Floors Direct to find out why, we were told that we were locked in because we didn't send them a certified letter canceling the order. No one had ever mention needing a letter to cancel the order. We were told that it was stated in the contract that we never received. We canceled the order because we decided to have our hardwood floors refinished rather than being carpeted.

      National Floors Direct cannot provide Ms. ****** any refund at this time. The customer entered into a written agreement with National Floors Direct with a 3 day cancellation period that has since expired. The customer and the company were simultaneously emailed a full copy of the written agreement upon execution. This was confirmed at the time of sale. Included therein are cancellation procedures. The customer did not provide any written notice of cancellation subsequent to the execution of the order. The order has already been processed and cannot be canceled at this time. The company remains ready, willing, and able to complete the installation to the expressly stated terms of the written agreement between the company and the customer.

      I had National Direct Floors come to my home and quoted me new floors. I agreed on a price and gave them a check for $765.00 for a down payment. I was told I could cancel before midnight April 21. I call them around 10AM on the 21 to cancel my order saying I could not afford the price. I was told that they would send it to accounting. Waited 2 weeks and called asking about the money and was told that they needed it canceled in writing. I said Ok what address should I sent it and was told me it was to late that it need to be post marked by April 21.

      Purchased hardwood flooring from NFD, which was installed on 5 Mar 2025. Subsequently, I received an email offer (attached) promising giftcards for posting positive reviews on various websites and a $125 "bonus giftcard" for making all the requested reviews. Made the requested reviews on all websites on 10 Mar 2025, and received giftcards for the individual reviews, but did not receive the promised bonus giftcard, even though reviews were made on all the websites. Have attempted to contact the survey department numerous times and have left detailed voicemails. The only returned call ever received requested a screen shot of the ******* List posting, which I subsequently provided via email. Have not received any additional response from the company and have not received the bonus giftcard. Company is unresponsive to either phone calls or emails.

      I received a voicemail on 8 May from the ***************** saying that all requirements for the bonus giftcard had been met, and that I should expect to receive the card in ***** hours.

      One week later, I have still not received the giftcard despite sending two follow-up emails to the Survey Department.

      I have been trying to get National Floors Direct to reschedule the installation of my kitchen flooring but no one will confirm that I can do that. I agreed to purchase flooring to be installed on 5/2/25 but two weeks ago my home was damaged in a flood. I have an insurance claim and the adjuster told me that my home will not be able to have new flooring installed on 5/2 but I should reschedule the installation so that damage can be repaired before the floor gets installed. I've been emailing and calling National Floors and they say they will email me a document agreeing to reschedule but it has never arrived. See the emails on the attached. Thank you very much for your help!!!!

      National Floors Direct advertised a 60% off sale. There was no sale. The original quote was 3x higher than it should be too. After haggling, we chose a wood grain luxury vinyl. What they brought to my house looked like it was splattered with oil. I did not want this floor installed because it's not what I picked. **************** on the phone was yelling, and threatening a lawsuit for breach of contract if I didn't have the spotted floor installed. They then instructed the contractors to pack up all the flooring and leave with my money, leaving me with a subfloor and no resolution. They also instructed their installer to leave with the full amount for the job, or else they would deduct it from his pay. The customer service *** told me they would inspect the boards themselves. If someone in their warehouse deemed the spotted pattern was good enough for me, then that would be the decision. Then I would have to accept the floor and pay a fee for a new install date in 2 weeks, or be sued by the company for ****** of contract. Leaving me with a sub floor for 2 weeks. I got very upset with the person on the phone who continued to threaten me with a lawsuit and no solution. There were plenty of regular boards in the boxes so they didn't have to use any of the spotted ones. But they we're refusing to let the contractor open all of the boxes so they could save money and stick me with the spotted floor. This went back and forth for another two hours, and finally they agreed to put the spotted boards aside and install the floor. However, the contractor didn't listen and kept putting spotted boards in. At this point, he just wanted to rush the job and go home. Now I have a floor of different patterns that looks like it's dirty all the time. I was called back a few hours later by somebody more reasonable, and he gave me an email for corporate and told me to request a partial refund for the spotted boards. 3 weeks and a follow up they haven't acknowledged the email.

      On 4/7/2025, I scheduled an in-home quote after seeing a commercial advertising carpeting for 3 rooms at $1,088. The sales ***resentative, **** ****, arrived on 4/8 and informed me the advertised pricing applied only to select products. Despite my concerns over the misleading ad, he measured 1 bedroom, 1 office, and 1 staircase, and quoted $1,525. I expressed intent to continue collecting quotes but was told the price was only valid while he was present. I ***eatedly asked about the cancellation policy and was assured I had until midnight, three days post-contract, to cancel for a full refund. I paid a 50% deposit ($762) based on that assurance and installation was scheduled for 4/25/2025. On 4/11 at 8:12 AM, I called to cancel but was informed I had signed a cancellation waiver- a claim I refuted, as this was my primary concern during the sale. A review revealed the referenced document was neither written nor signed by me. The sales *** acknowledged the error and escalated the issue to management. Despite two follow-ups with management, they have refused to resolve the matter or refund my deposit. I am requesting a full refund due to deceptive and unethical sales practices.

      On 4/4/25, I entered into a contract with National Floors Direct for the installation of hardwood floor in my home. The agreed-upon price was $8,500, with payment in full required to secure an installation date of 4/15/25. Given the urgencymy family and I have been living on an exposed subfloorI paid the full amount as stipulated.The project was divided in 2 phases: Phase 1 involved leveling the subfloor, completed as scheduled on 4/11/25. Phase 2, the actual floor installation, was set for 4/15/25. While the company confirmed the first phase and communicated clearly, no confirmation was provided for the phase2. Today, 4/14/25, I called to confirm the installation date, only to be told by the *** that nothing was scheduled, and no records of my appointment. After investigating, she said the materials needed for my project were not available and offered no timeline for arrival. When I escalated the matter to a manager, I was informed that the earliest possible installation date would now be 4/23/25a full week after the original date. No attempt was made to accommodate my situation, and the manager dismissed my concerns outright. He refused to transfer me to a senior manager, claiming he was the highest authority available, and abruptly ended the call. Their handling of this situation demonstrates appalling customer service. Not only did they fail to honor their contractual obligations, but their lack of communication and disregard for my consumer rights is deeply concerning. Had I not reached out, it is evident they wouldn't have informed me of the delay. Furthermore, the absence of accountability or recourse within the company leaves me feeling unheard and powerless as a customer.I demand immediate resolutioneither the expedited installation of my flooring by the original date, compensation for the inconvenience, or both. They must be held accountable for its unacceptable practices, and I urge the Better Business Bureau to investigate this matter thoroughly.

      Their response to my complaint did not correlate. My grievance was the fact that we entered into a contract for them to install my hardwood on a certain date and then they called and rudely told me that the installation date was shifted to an unknown date because of material. I had to now talk to another person and they said at least a week. Their response and the way they handled the entire matter was disheartening especially after I was forced to pay 100% upfront. Furthermore, I had to pay out of my pocket to level the floor even though the sales *** so the condition of the floor. And their excuse was the *** wasnt a technician. Anyways I will make sure to leave a feedback on every platform I can find about their customer services, relationships, and their bullying.

      I entered into a contract with National Floors Direct on August 31, ****************************** my daughters house. The purchase was financed by **************, who is also at fault in this action as they made payment the day after the installation. Isnt there some kind of law that allows some time to file a complaint about dissatisfaction?Ive uploaded a summary of the entire transaction including pictures and the two disputes I filed with the bank to stop/reverse payment, which were denied by the bank.

      Date of Purchase: 3/9/25 Order $: $24,500 Services Begin: 3/24/25 I ordered new flooring from National Floors Direct (NFD). I specifically pointed out issues with the subfloor that would require remediation. The salesman represented a differentiator for *** is they do not require people to use 3rd parties to remediate subfloor concerns. I understood the leveling would incur additional costs which could not be determined at that time. I signed an agreement which states: The subfloor has not been inspected; certain issues may require additional works beyond their scope. These are true statements in the context of the conversation and representations made. The agreement also included 1 bag of leveler. The salesman represented additional bags would be $150 each, including labor (NFD now claim it is $50).On the 1st day, the installers determined the floors could not simply be laid because the subfloors were not level. *** called and said we needed to remediate the subfloor (with no specific/actionable information). We were told the installers had to go to another job despite their not finishing the contracted removal (required to remediate the sub floor). We later found out they were instructed to leave by *** immediately. They left the home is disrepair as a result. At this point *** had: Misrepresented their services via the salesman; weaponized the agreement we signed in good faith based on said representations; failed to investigate or acknowledge any form of concern with the salesman's representations; and frustrated execution of duly paid elements of the agreement by calling off the demolition. Remediation steps required by the agreement were completed without delay within 7 days. *** is now demanding I sign an amendment which specifies I accepted delivery of "materials". *** refuses to confirm what was delivered so we can reconcile and instead made spurious accusations against me. My home is now an unsafe living condition for the elderly resident who is here.

      National Floors Direct used deceptive and fraudulent business practices to secure a $3,500 downpayment for a hardwood floor installation. On 3/28/25, the salesman **** ****** came to my home with flooring samples. I selected the flooring and agreed to a price of $10,000 to included all materials and installation date of 4/11/25. While **** was sitting at my kitchen table, we discussed the *** requirement of STC52 underlayment in order to get the install approved, and I emailed him the document that listed the *** underlayment requirements. **** told me not to worry and said "you won't have a problem, we do this all the time'. He asked me for a $3,500 deposit because he said the floor i selected, Mohawk WoodTec Weathered Portrait, was special order. I wrote the check and gave it to ****. Then I was asked to sign a notebook waiving my ability to cancel the order and indicating the installation needed to happen on an emergency basis. I felt uncomfortable doing so but noticed there were many other names/signatures in his book. **** then asked me for my drivers license. To my surprise he took a single picture of my drivers license, the check and my signature all in the same photo. He slid his iPad across my kitchen table so I could docusign my initials on a 28 page contract. The iPad was so small, the contract could not be viewed without sliding your finger across the screen so you could view the rest of the page. Today I called their customer service number, *******************. to ask for assistance with securing the info so I could proceed with *** approval and when I asked for the underlayment specifics, I was told it was not part of the purchase, however I could purchase that separately. At that moment, I knew I was scammed, misinformed, and all the actions/photos **** took were to be used against me to get more money. I went to the police station today to file a report but was told FL requires a 90 day waiting period due to a newer statue.

      I have heard from the business in response to my complaint but my complaint has NOT been resolved.

      They called me 5 times after I informed them I filed a BBB complaint. I told them the resolution I was seeking was a refund. I was unable to get HOA approval because they didn't include the required underlayment in the work order. Despite not doing any work on my condo they said they will not refund my money. This is the only resolution that I find acceptable and fair.

      They have called my 5 times over the past 3 weeks. The first call was to tell me I could purchase the underlayment for an additional $3k. The second call was to tell me that they were discounting the underlayment by $867 and would charge me $2,135 for the underlayment. The third call they informed me they would not charge me for the labor to install the underlayment. Today, 4/14, I received 2 calls  - the first to tell me they would not charge me for the underlayment or labor and a call a few hours later to tell me they would send me a contract to docusign but I never received the contract.

       I told them that I don't trust their business practices because they could have agreed to honor the original contract and pricing on March 28 when I asked. With all the complaints on the BBB site regarding poor quality installation, I told them I am not comfortable proceeding with them doing any work on my condo.

      I would like to receive my $3,500 deposit back for work that was never performed. May I ask if that is possible? Is there anything you can do to assist me with that since no work has been performed?

      Thank you so much for your assistance with my complaint. It is much appreciated.

      National Floors Direct cannot offer Mr. ******* any refund at this time. The delays associated with this installation are expressly due to the approval process from the customer's HOA; these are not within the company's control. The company remains ready, willing, and able to complete the installation to the expressly stated terms of the written agreement between the company and the customer.

      Better Business Bureau:I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # ********. Please add your rejection comments below; if you do not provide any details, your complaint will be closed as Answered. 

      Doriand, I have copied/pasted the contract language you referenced below in italics.  My $3,500 deposit via personal check was written and cashed on March 28. Today is April 17, three weeks has passed. Thirty days has not passed and per contract language, I am eligible for a refund. I did not cancel the work order. I was never able to submit it for approval because your salesman **** ****** did not include the underlayment in my condo's work order despite our discussion about the STC52 minimum requirement needed to secure HOA approval. In fact, **** told me "not to worry, we do condos all the time'. Based on the contract language below, I am owed a refund.
      Late Cancellation, Late Payment/Default: If Buyer attempts to cancel this Agreement at any time subsequent to midnight of the third business day after the date of the Agreement as more fully described on the Notice of Right to cancel form, and NFD accepts such late cancellation, then buyer agrees that any deposit paid shall be forfeited and the Buyer shall only be entitled to a company credit to be used toward a future purchase, less any restocking fees as described above, which will be good for 180 days. Buyer agrees to pay a late fee of 11/2% per month on all amounts due and owing from the Buyer to *** accruing from the date due and running to the date the payment is made. If at any time the buyer is in default of this Agreement, buyer agrees to pay all of **** attorney fees and costs incurred in enforcing its rights under this agreement. Buyer also agrees to pay any other costs or expenses of repossession, collection or realization on its security.
      Deposit Refunds: All refunds of refundable deposits shall be processed within 30 business days from date of receipt of deposit. Deposits of cash, check or money order shall be refunded by company check. All other deposits shall be refunded through the same medium that the deposit was tendered to NFD. In the event that any payment that I supply to NFD is returned by my financial institution, for any reason whether my fault or not I agree to reimburse NFD its bank fees in the amount of $37 per returned item.

      I have copied the ********************************* and the BBB (complaint # is #********) as a continuation of my prior complaint against *** for deceptive business practices and scamming a senior citizen. 

      I look forward to hearing from you in writing with your decision to refund my deposit since no work was ever performed, I never issued a cancellation, and the timeframe is well within the 30 day period.

      Thanks. **** *******

      My Response:  I was not able to secure approval from my *** because the National Floors Direct Salesman, **** ******* did not include the required STC52 underlayment in the work order. During my in-home appointment with Mr. ******* he quoted an all-in price for hardwood floor installation of $10k which included the underlayment however the underlayment was not included in the work order he wrote up. Mr. ****** and I discussed my condo *** underlayment requirement and he received a printed copy and an electronic copy of the *** requirements while he was sitting at my kitchen table. I was unable to get *** approval because the underlayment was excluded from the work order. Then National Floors Direct told me I would have to pay an additional $3k for the underlayment. I believe this was a very intentional and deceptive business practice because it could have very easily been resolved if the salesman spoke with the manager, Doriand, or if the manager, Doriand reached out to the salesman for clarification - but neither happened. I have since signed a contract with a reputable business to install my hardwood floors. My position is that since National Floors Direct didn't do any work in my home, I would like to receive my deposit back. Every time I talk with the manager Doriand, I get a different reason why my deposit can't be returned. I feel that they intentionally took advantage of me because I am a senior citizen. I was told by the ******* police that I can file a police report in 90 days and I plan to do so at that time. Thank you.
