The worst experience ever. Drove 5.5 hours after getting their in store credit credit which cannot be used online. Had the opportunity and ability to spend a lot of money only to be told that the credit card cannot be used to purchase multiple items. They said I could buy one item for $500.00 or more, which they referred to as a big ticket item, but they could not allow me to buy multiple items which totaled $500.00 or more. I probably would have spent $1,000.00 in their store if they would have allowed me to do so. Their cr... read more

Business response:

Hello Brian. We apologize for any inconvenience. We spoke to our management as well as our financing department on this situation and while you were approved for a credit line with our store, our policy is that it is only meant to be for a big ticket product and not a large amount of "cash and carry" items. Our financing options are given to our customers to help them pay for higher priced products. When there is an attempt to purchase a large amount of lower priced items, from someone who applied online for financing, and l... read more

We signed a contract in the middle of March to have a Grecian shaped foxx in-ground pool installed. We were told the installation of the pool would take approximately 4 days. Pool was finally installed and filled on June 24th and the process to get there was so frustrating. The inability for anyone to communicate was unbelievable and inexcusable! Once the install was “done” we were leaking an inch of water every 8 hours. After many calls and complaints 

Business response:

Hi Jeff. It looks like your review may have been cut off. But we want to know more about your experience. If you would like to email us with your issues, please send it to social@americansale.com and we will make sure it gets addressed by our management team. We are very sorry about the lack of communication regarding your inground pool installation. Thank you for bringing that to our attention.

Update: American Sale made it right by finally honoring the price match. Probably the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. We were told they would price match a pool from sears. We go there to get the pool to be told that they won't price match it. Thank you for having us drive there for nothing. Called and spoke with a manager who still refused to honor it even after HIS EMPLOYEE said they would price match. Will never be doing business with them again and would strongly suggest you not either! I hope you love the... read more

Hi Samantha! Thank you for the update! We always try to avoid any sort of miscommunication or lack of assistance, but if that ever happens, we try to rectify the situation very quickly. Thank you for updating your review! We are glad we could assist on Facebook!

Horrible after service customer service! Multiple calls left nothing returned other than a email saying it is what it is with no concern of resolving the problem! 

Business response:

Hello Jason. We're sorry for the late reply. We had some difficulties with our phone system during the first week of June that have now been resolved. We will ask our Customer Service Dept to look for your email to us.

One time they took a deposit for a pool we never got. Had to fight them until December before getting our deposit back. Now our 10 x 12 gazebo from American Sale is a FAIL. The roof is faulty. Rain water doesn't make it to the grommet drain holes. It pools. We must run outside when it rains, stand under the pooled water and push up to remove the water and prevent further stretching. This is NOT the outdoor oasis we pictured when we purchased the gazebo. We have called Customer Service. They asked for pictures. We sent them. ... read more

Business response:

Hello Donna. We spoke with our Customer Service team and they let us know that they contacted the manufacturer about the issue. Unfortunately, it looks like you are not under warranty for this issue and either will need to get a new top or continue caring for the one you have per instructions in your manual. Soft top gazebos require more maintenance than hard top gazebos due to the fabric. We did try to get the manufacturer to offer some sort of coverage on this, but they would not oblige. Please refer to your manual on prop... read more
