They are stink!
Complaint Rating:  92 % with 12 votes
This has been the worst home improvement supplier I have ever delt with. Their customer service is awful. No retrun call, no return emails. Just awful.

On July 6th I purchased 6 boxes of PRBAMHC Bamboo flooring. I installed the first 5 boxes and the floor looked great. When I opened the last box the color was nowhere near the previous flooring it was much much lighter. I looked at the boxes I had used and noted the lot number was SF-Y1 and sixth box was different. I took it back, there where no boxes in stock with SF- Y1.

Lumber Liquidators Denver has not been able to find flooring that even comes close to the product they sold me on July 6th. Jerome at Lumber Liquidators Denver said to me in a face to face conversion that he would refund me money since he could not match the product. He additionally asked me to let him know who I used to refinish the floor since he had other customer with the same problem. I have called him three times with no response. I had no option but to finish the floor and it really looks bad. (See attached photo). When I purchased this flooring I expected a good looking floor when I was finished. If I had bought this at Lumber Liquidators Sunday’s mixed lot sale I would not be upset, of course I would have paid 99 cents a foot instead of $2.85. I felt a refund of $ 1.86/sqft or $310.00 is fair.

Lumber Liquidators is the worst company we have ever dealt with. We built a brand new $500,000.00 home and had Bellawood Natural Red Oak installed. One year later we noticed that the shiny finish on many boards was cracking. I called them for over one year and finally got a message on my voice mail saying they would pay to have the complete floor sanded and refinished. When I sent in the required two estimates, they said they would only give us $600.00 and if we took that we could never file another claim against them. What a joke!! I still have the saved voice mail, we are contemplating hiring an attorney, although Lumber Liquidators told us that the installer did not measure the moisture content of Each Board when he installed it so that lets them out of the 50 year warranty!!! I will never recommend this company to any one, I tell everyone I know what an unscrupulous company they are.

It's amazing how many complaints are posted against this company on the internet, yet people are still buying their floors. What they sell is brand name "rejects" or "seconds", flooring no other reputable company will sell.

I emailed them several times to get a copy of this 50 year warrany, the one answer I got was that it will be on my invoice and on the boxes!!

I stepped into their store in Delaware once, the impression I got was never to go there again!

I'm just glad I didn't buy my floor there. I bought a brand called Lauzon, it's about a dollar more than Bellawood but I can't be happier.

I purchased hardwood flooring from Lumber Liquidator via an on-line order. When I needed to return a good portion of the material because it did not match the store sample or my existing floor they proceed to applied the sales terms as if I bought the material directly from their store located:
6148 South Loop 610 E
Houston, TX 77087
Phone: (713) 649-3900
Email: store046@lumberliquidators.com

The store manager was extremely rude and would not allow a conversation to take place to reason the situation. He indicated that returning the money would affect his "store bottom line".

I reaserched BBB and found out Lumber Liquidator has plenty of cases. As you can imagine the number of complains is much larger as no everyone will take the time to bother.

I hope they do not blame the economy when their business goes down. They should blame their lack of ethics and sincerity.

I have never had such horrible experiences with a product or customer service perssonel as I have had with Lumber Liquidators in the St.Louis Mo. (Overland) store or the homeoffice in Virginia. I have been given everyexcuse possible why they can't be responsible. They delayed things for 2 1/2 months living in our messed up home telling us (just a few more days, and we will give you our decision)then we were told we would need to hire a floor inspector from one of two companies they reccommend, we hired an inspector but he was surely paid off by LumLiq. because his report defended LumLiq.even though we paid him. He gave every excuse to blame the installer and everybody else but LumLiq who are really to blame.I am going to contact the Attorney General in Mo. Lumber Liq.should not be allowed tumero operate in any state in the USA. They are guilty of false advertisements and do not stand behind their product. I will never purchase anything ever from Lumberi Liq.. again. I am going to tell every one I can

I have installed floors for more than twenty years and I have never seen a poorer product than Bellawood Flooring. After visiting friends in Virginia, my mother decided to pull up her carpet and put down Bellawood after seeing her friends beautiful floors. She decided on Brazilian Cherry. Two years ago I installed her floor and it looked great –for about 6 months! Her home is located in south Ga. and is on about a three foot crawlspace. Before any of the planks were installed, I laid down a DOUBLE moisture barrier (It was my mom’s house). The bottom of her crawlspace had already been protected by a moisture barrier per recommendation by Georgia Power to receive the good cents energy saver discount. The problems began a quarter of the way into the job when I began noticing serious milling mistakes. I also noticed very poor finishing on some of the planks. Both of these problems are a common accordance with hardwoods, so I just grabbed an empty Bellawood box thinking I would return them for a refund. When I finished the job I had more than 3 boxes out of 40 with poor milling/finishes. When I tried to return them I was told that the warranty states that you have to accommodate 5% for industry defects, 8 – 10% for exotic woods. This is B.S. I have never had a problem with returning defective product with any local or national retailer. I guess by translating the warranty 5 - 10 % of the product you have already purchased and haven’t opened is crap. The more serious problems began about 6 months later when the some of the planks began to buckle and some split. When I called Lumber Liquidators I was told that I used the wrong nails. I have installed a whole warehouse full of hardwoods, and the nails are standard. I was also told that the humidity in the home was too high. This might work as an excuse, but if there is high humidity in the home, then why aren’t the hardwood floors in the other rooms affected?(Bruce and Traffic Master). Now, every time my mother goes on vacation, I get called when she gets back to bang down and nail a new buckle. Again, no other rooms with hardwood are affected. I suppose if you install Bellawood floors you have to leave you’re a/c or heat running while you are gone for weeks at a time. Bellawood is the worst flooring I have every installed some much so that I will not install it for any customer and do not recommend it to anyone. By the way, about a year after my mother floors began giving her so much trouble, her friend from Virginia called – Their Bellawood floors began to buckle and split too! If anyone would like to ask me any questions please email me at tgpil@hotmail.com
