I trusted this company to come into our facility & prepare a proposal to maximize our pallet space with pallet racking, as they told us they provided this service. They came in- twice to measure & provided about 6 different proposals with varying quantities of pallet spaces. This delayed the project weeks as they kept suggesting they had something better. It was clear, in the end, that they were just trying to clear their inventory instead of providing me a useful & maximized system for our operation. Over the course of 6 weeks, they delivered wrong size racking 3 times & had to swap them out for the correct size. We discovered in 3 locations that we couldn't even fit what they sold me- so we had to set up racking in areas we had not planned on & then after they left- we discovered that they did not take into account the fittings on the racks during installation- so the middle racks could never be used with our products- as the goods would not fit & they refused to come back & look at it or fix it- after a $20,000 install cost! They delayed deliveries- intentionally- even after I had paid over $100,000 in advance & they refused to deliver goods & complete installation on 2 different occasions. The owner Bill argued & insulted me several times in front of all staff for his errors- somehow were all my fault. He is a very nasty male ego driven individual who will never take responsibilities for their own mistakes. He is now suing me for not supplying him with decking- simply because he has the time, money & means to do it- so why not! When he in turn owes me over $13,000 for supplies he never even provided. Another example- He suggested I needed a bottom flow rack system - against my wishes (as I wanted to use pallet jacks to gather my floor goods) - but during installation- his install crew suggested we just stage the lowest racks at 6ft & then we could just walk under & get them. So we did this. Bill refused to give any credit for these supplies & they had not even been delivered- just scrap from one of his other jobs! What a total disgrace of how he treats his clients & even his own family & staff that work there- they can't stand Bill & his wife -are the worst people to work for! I suggest you DO NOT WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE & find people who cherish their customers & their own staff! Bill even called my City department to rat me out for not pulling a permit & possible other permits needed on HIS INSTALL- Which is not even required! But just goes to show you what a total scum bag he is & a disgrace of a human being Bill is. Please, Please- give your business to another company that will appreciate it! So to follow up with his lawsuit- arbitrator ruled in my favor on refunding all of my losses, but because his quote contract has a legal clause that CUSTOMER PAYS LEGAL FEES- then I had to pay 1/2 of his fees. BUYER BEWARE DO NOT SIGN A QUOTE FROM A SUPPLIER THAT STATES YOU PAY ALL ATTORNEY FEES EVEN IF THEY ARE AT FAULT. HUGE RED FLAG!!! HE ALSO HAS 18 LAWSUITS - 16 OF WHICH HE STARTED- HE MAKES A BUSINESS OF SUIING HIS CUSTOMERS!! STAY AWAY- VERY FAR AWAY!

As president for 30 years at American Surplus I wanted to personally respond to this review. With over 60,000 satisfied clients, Ms. Dancer is truly a once in a lifetime customer. I offered to take over the project when our new sales rep was unable to navigate Ms. Dancers personality. After 117 emails, 14 drawings and 12 revisions of quantities for Ms. Dancer over 45 days, we set up 2 samples in our warehouse for her to come look at and approve. All material was spelled out in detail in the quote and sales order as typical with our terms, payment details and deadlines. Ms. Dancer gave ASI her beam heights and layout. During the installation, she then micro managed the install team daily and upon completion of the job signed a 100% customer satisfaction sheet which we get on all of our installations. We do not stop working until the customer is 100% satisfied. Ms. Dancers original warehouse that she was moving from had 42" decks and the new location called for 48" decks. I offered to just swap her decks to save her thousands of dollars. Now that the project was completed, she refuses to provide the 42" decks as per our signed agreement. ASI recommended her to put her first level pallets on the floor during her initial visit to our warehouse. However, Ms. Dancer insisted on push back racks, against our recommendation. When Ms. Dancer realized the push back racks she insisted to order wouldn't work, we agreed to modify hundreds of beams as a trade for the refund $13,000 of material so she would gain additional pallet locations in her new warehouse. To maliciously insult myself and my wife who built this company from nothing with hard-work, sweat and tears for the last 30 years is pathetic and obviously unprofessional. We wish Ms. Dancer well and realize she is a once in a lifetime customer.
