That day they were paid the balance which was $3388.70. I have called so many times you can’t talk to anyone or leave messages because their mailbox is full. Never heard from anyone then 11/18/22 they showed up at my door 7:30 am with one gable end didn’t know they were coming so had to miss work again to be here. To this dateI still don’t have my other gable end. I’ve been 18 months at this and they won’t answer the phone. Could you please help me, I would appreciated it.Initial Complaint

On October 6th, 2022 we paid a deposit for two carports that were ordered. We had a scheduled install date in late November; no show. Finally get Ashley on the phone and she says they will reschedule - get another delivery date - again, no show. Cannot get anyone on the phone no matter what extension or number that is called. Paid a total of $583.40. Trying to dispute this charge with our credit card company.Initial Complaint

Ordered a carport on 12-14-2021 to be installed in the Spring of 2022. Staring in May of 2022 I started calling the ** scheduling manager and kept getting put off that they were waiting on a crew to deliver and set up. I kept calling throughout the summer and now into November 2022 and cannot get a call back or an answer when the carport will be delivered and installed. I offered to install myself if they would deliver, they declined. I asked for my deposit to be refunded and they say they will not give it to me because they "TNT" are not cancelling my order! But if I cancel I am out the deposit. This is a real scam! I talked to Ms. Estephanie ****** who refuses to cancel my order, and who refuses to give me back my deposit for the goods and services they cannot provide.Initial Complaint

Placed an order for a carport on 12/10/21. Was told due to delays the normal 2 to 12 weeks installation would be late spring/early summer for the installation. Paid a deposit of $571.00. I have spoken to them a couple of times and have been told there is no delivery date as they need to get sufficient installs in my area to do my install. Most recently they have quit responding to phone calls and email.Customer response

I have not heard from the business in response to my complaint.My next steps will be to file complaints with the Attorney General in NC and the Attorney General in PA. If that does not work I will file a claim in small claims court for the amount I have paid plus attorney fees, etc.
For reference here are the links to file complaints with the respective attorney generals.

On 10/12/2021 I ordered a 18x20 shed form T N T Carports through a company call Barns.com. I put $816.75 down as a deposit. I was told it would take 10-12 weeks for delivery and installation. I received a call on 05/02/2022 asking if I was ready for installation and since then I have heard nothing from them. I have made dozens of calls to them and was told I would get 3 to 5 days notice of their arrival. I was also told that if I cancel my order I lose my deposit. I looked online and there are dozens of complaints very similar to mine. I am not sure but I think I may have been scammed out of my deposit. I am hoping your organization may be able to help since I am in Pennsylvania and the authorities here have no juristiction.Customer response

A metal carport was ordered, but never delivered or installed. I am actually feeling like I have been a victim of a scam after reading other customer reviews for this business. This business operates under several names such as: TNT Carports, Carports.com, Barns.com, getcarports.com, Coast to Coast and Arkansas Metal Carports. After 6 weeks, and after lots of emails and several calls to customer service, they are still giving me the runaround. They have confirmed that no work has been started, and that nothing has currently been scheduled. The sales person (Tinisha L***** - *******@carports.com) has continued to give me the runaround and not escalated this issue or attempted to resolve my issue. When I requested to cancel the order and the return of my funds, she provided an excuse that it was up to her manager to make that decision. I attempted to contact her manager (Jason T***** - *****@tntcarports.com), but he has not responded back. After several emails to their customer support manager (Darla B******** - *****@getcarports.com), she provided me with a boilerplate response that didn't actually help provide visibility into if or when my order would be processed. At this point, I am running out of time and need to get a building for my building site. I would like assistance in getting my funds returned, because they order hasn't even been started nor have any materials be acquired for it. This will allow me the opportunity to work with another company or come up with another building option. Email correspondences are attached. Between July 28th and today (Sept 6th).Customer response

I ordered a carport from TNT Carports over the phone on 12/17/2022. I paid a deposit of $249.50. I was told the carport would be delivered between 6 to 8 weeks. In July, it still hadn't arrived, no calls from the company and no responses from my emails. I was told I could get a refund but it would take several weeks. This is unacceptable.Customer response

On July 21st, 2021, I ordered and paid a down payment ($565.80) for a carport. I was originally quoted 3-12 weeks for delivery and installation. In November, I contacted them via phone call, and I was told over the phone that we were next in line to be scheduled, just waiting on a contractor. On April 25th, 2022, I emailed carports.com (this is where all my paperwork came from) and formally requested a refund from them. A couple of days later, I was contacted via phone call. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of the woman I spoke to, but she sympathized with me and assured me I would receive my refund. She told me it was too close to the end of the month but it would be processed by the end of May. I have been calling them since mid-June to find out the status. I have been transferred to accounts payable twice. Both times I had to leave a voice mail imploring them to at least call me and give me a status update. Guess what? No calls. The time frame I've waited is one thing, but the lack of transparency, professionalism, and common courtesy are intolerable and inexcusable.Customer response

I ordered a barn with TNT Barns (carports) on June of 2021, I was told it would take 6-8 weeks for it to be delivered and installed. I called back at that time frame and was told, it was delayed because of Covid, ok I waited for about a month and canceled the barn , Sheila told me she would process my refund at that time ($2124.75) , I waited til Dec of 2021 than I called back. Again Sheila told me she had processed it, by February of 2022 I hadn’t received my refund. I called back and was referred to Sara in accounts payable, she told me she’d send my refund, by April I hadn’t received it so I called back, Sara told me she sent it, I keep calling back almost every business day and get no answer or call back. I’m a 100% disabled Vietnam Veteran, and a caregiver for my wife that has Dementia, I need this refund, they keep ignoring me as I keep calling and leaving a message but no answer or call. I put my life on the line for this Country 3 tour’s of duty in Vietnam, and these people treat me like this, they can except a deposit but than when they breach a contract they want to keep my money, I need this money back.
