Rough start, beautiful finish
I found this amazing glass and steel tile online for a great price. It was 50% less than what I would have paid to buy it locally, so my contractor said to go for it. I checked out as a guest and did not set up an account which I think was a mistake because I had no way to see my order status other than to try to contact someone at MosaicTileDirect. I didn't even get an order confirmation. So I started with online chat and finally was able to get an email with the order confirmation. But when I asked when I could expect the order to be shipped, they stopped replying. So then I sent an email with the same question and got no reply. So I started calling the number on their website. Sometimes I would reach a person, but most of the time it went to voicemail and the call was not returned. I also tried a Chat session several times with no reply. Each time I reached someone by phone they would say "it is shipping tomorrow". This happened for several days before I started searched the Internet and found this site with all of the 1-star reviews and started to panic. I thought I had been scammed. So I kept calling and insisted on speaking to a supervisor who had conveniently "stepped out". I was promised they would call me back in 30 minutes. When they didn't, I called again and was assured they would call back. They didn't. I called the next day and finally talked to someone who said my order was ready to ship and sent me the tracking number. I still wasn't convinced that I'd get the order, but a day later the package started moving, and I tracked it until it was delivered. The correct tile arrived in one piece and is absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait for it to be installed. My advice is sign up for an account so you can see your order status, and call (don't email or attempt a chat) if you have any questions. Keep calling if you get voicemail. Hopefully you will eventually reach Erica who was the most helpful at getting the tile delivered. The entire process took a little over two weeks which was completely reasonable. If they were just better at communicating, they would have gotten a much higher rating from me.
