Deceptive Sales and Pricing Policies
I signed a contract for a 24' x 30' garage in May of 2020. The contract was revised to add an awning to the right side of the building in October of 2020. Permitting, surveys and contractors not working through Covid pushed the construction of a level site back almost a year from the date I signed the updated contract in October of 2020. Just days before the year to get a level site, my contractor finished his work and we submitted pictures to my salesman on 10/20/2021. He submitted them to Carolina Carport's delivery Dept. and we believed our responsibility to fulfill our contractual obligations had been met. Living in Ohio, we learned that the delivery and installation would not be made until spring. Last week I got a phone call the delivery was being scheduled but the price had increased by 73% from the contract we had signed in October of 2020. It is now clear the contract obligations we were bound to were the only part of the contract that was binding as the delay of the fabrication and delivery price since submitting the leveled site photographs six months ago have increased dramatically. The explanation we were given is that a year had passed since the original contract was in force and therefore the pricing was not honored. If this was their policy then once a year had passed from May of 2020, my salesman should have made us aware the pricing had changed before we began construction of a $23,000.00 foundation in October of 2022 for the building. It appears Carolina Carports is more than willing to take a 15% nonrefundable deposit on a contracted building but not bother to inform you the price is going to almost double by the time the building is delivered.
