My wife found these scam artists on the Internet. We loved the pictures they had on Facebook. We called and Jay immediately answered. We spoke for a bit and decided to place a table, chair and entertainment stand order with him. He promised us it would be delivered within 14 days. That was a month ago. We received an email from someone telling us that our furniture would be delivered between July 1st and July 3rd. The night of July 2nd, after many emails and voicemails left for Jay, he called me to say we would not be receiving our furniture when he promised. He had no excuse and told me he would contact me the following Tuesday between 10:00 and 10:30 in the morning. Well, haven't heard from Jay yet and I have left numerous messages with him.
Being in in the Marine Corps, I decided to do some research on this man and his company. I have found many customers with the same story I have and it is a shame. It seems that Jay has no understanding on how to run a business nor does he have one ounce of ethics, morals or values inside of him. This man and his company plays with hard working people's heads. He gives hope of a nice product but actually delivers a nightmare. I suggest to all veterans out there to avoid this man and his company. Any business affiliated with 215 Edgewood Drive in Mauldin, South Carolina should be avoided at all costs. I just tried to call him once again and got the usual voicemail with Jay closing the voicemail recording blessing me. Being in the military provides me with greater ability to get my word out. I can promise you that the VFW and American legion near Jay will be hearing about this. Word will get around and in time, I hope that Jay will have to be the once asking for a blessing and forgiveness. Around the table should change their company name and motto to where nightmares are made. What a waste of resources and time. Facebook should find a way to regulate scam artists like this so they may not be able to advertise on their social media platform.
I contacted Around the Table on September 2nd to buy a table that was already in stock according to Jay. I bought a table and two benches which was $1050.00. I also paid for the delivery which was $150.00. He asked me when I wanted the table, and I said as soon as possible and provided him with my delivery address.
On Sept 4th they charged my credit card. I messaged him on September 5th asking when he would be heading to Sanford, no response.
I wrote him again on 9/8 asking if he had everything he needed from me. No response.
Wrote again on 9/14
asking if he knew which day he would be heading to Sanford. No response.
Wrote
again on 9/16 "I'm going away and don't want to miss you". No response. He
responded on 9/20; "Hi Lauren, We would like to put you on our delivery schedule
for next week, What day and/or times work best for you. Thank you Jay". I
responded an hour later "Hi! I am away this week. I'll be back next Sunday. My
husband will be home but I don't know his schedule. His number is ***. Thank
you". He responded "Thanks Lauren for the update. Talk with you soon".
Wrote him on 9/22 "I'll be back next Sunday. I can do it any day next week. What will work
best"? no response.
I wrote him on 9/25 asking him to please call me, I listed
my correct number, no response.
I wrote again 9/27 "I am have family coming in. Can we make this delivery work? Our credit card has been charged correct? :/"
He responded "Hi Lauren,Yes, we can make your delivery work. When do you have family coming in? I thought you stated that you were out of time until this Sunday. We can definitely get your table to you. When do you have family coming in? Thanks"
I wrote "Ok great, I am coming back Sunday, my husband was home this week, we thought you forgot about us. They are coming Oct 11th. We have a smaller table to eat at but I was hoping we could have the dining area completed
for them . Thanks!"
I wrote again on Oct 2nd looking for an update, offered to
pick up the table myself.
Heard back on Oct 6th they stated "Hi Lauren,Yes, we can make this work. What day this week can we deliver your table set. We are open for delivery on Thursday or Friday. If that doesn't work for you, we can deliver Saturday morning also. Thanks Jay".
I wrote back "Thursday and Friday work! I work from home so whatever is best for you. Thank you :)"
He wrote back "okay Great! Let's plan for a Friday morning Am delivery. Thank you"
Oct 10th (friday) I head not heard from them. I messaged them at 11:05am "is delivery still on for today? Thank you!" Didnt hear, messaged them at 4:39pm "Is it safe to say this just isn't happening? I don't really know what else to do at this point. I waited all day for a table that never came. Do you want to refund us? I am really disappointed your work looked beautiful."
They responded with "Hi Lauren, We do still plan to deliver your table. We have called your number **** (wrong number) a couple of times this week and left voice messages but no response. We are not always at the computer to check our facebook messages. We would like to get your table set to you. Thanks Jay"
I responded with my correct number.
He appolgozised and said he would contact me with a 1-2 days notice to confirm delivery.
I wrote him and said that was strange, my husband had called twice that day and never heard back fromt hem. I asked again what day they would be delivering. Didnt hear back.
Wrote them again on the Oct 16th looking for informaton, didnt hear back.
Oct 19th he responded and said he would deliver the table that week. I said that was perfect. I didnt hear from them all week.
I contacted again on Thursday Oct 23rd asking what day, nothing.
Contacted again through facebook on 10/24 asking for refund and to be contacted. I also left him a voicemail.
I messaged him again 10/29 asking if I needed to put a stop payment through the credit card company. No response. I used facebook messagnger, so I can see they have read all my messages, and at what times.
