  Hello,

  
  Here is an update for complaint ID#******** I have reviewed this complaint and have attached the most recent email thread of our communication with ***********************************. ************************ has been informed via email that we will repair the affected areas. 

  
  However, the material that was originally installed was discontinued, and we had to place a custom order with the manufacturer to match the existing floor.
  
  Let me know if you have any questions or need additional information pertaining to this matter.

  Hello ******,
  
  
  The material is a special order, unfortunately we have no control of the vendor and overseas shipments. That is the proximate ETA that was given to us by the vendor. As soon as material arrives ************************ will be contacted to schedule repairs immediately. We would like to resolve and close this claim as soon as possible and apologize for the delay.

   I am rejecting this response because:
  This is what they said from the time ***** came to the house with the Chinese representative in January. Plus they said they had to change the click system. What does it say about the existing flooring I have in my house? Is my flooring not up to code? Will it match the click system that my flooring has, because it's supposed to be water proof!

  To whom in may concern,

   

  Good morning.  As it relates to the issue at hand, the customer needs to address their issues with the retailer.  We are the manufacturer. Please refer to the first three sentences in the second to last paragraph noted on our warranty attached.

   I am rejecting this response because: our payment was made to the manufacturer not the retailer for the amount of $6705.00 for the materials directly which we picked up from your store. 
  

  We have a charge on file with our personal bank from our bank account reflecting this transaction amount with the manufacturers name on it and a charge ID.
