My wife and I have considered tearing down an old wooden building on our property and construction a slightly larger steel building. We decided to do a little research and find out some rough numbers of the project cost. About a week ago I filled out a form online requesting an “instant quote” from usbuildingsdirect.com.
Exactly 24 hours later I received a phone call from a sales person. This sales person, before announcing his name or the company he worked for, started asking about the weather, and if I had got all my Christmas shopping done. After stopping him and asking him who he was, he went into his sales pitch. “It’s the end of the year”, “we have inventory we have to move”, “I can get you great pricing”, “we can store the building for you”. About 15 minutes into the phone call he had still not given me any type of price. I asked him to not call again and we disconnected.
Later that day I got a call from someone stating to be his manager. After expressing my dissatisfaction, he acted concerned asking exactly what the sales person said. I expressed that his company used high pressure sales tactics and I was not interested in dealing with them. He then hung up on me.
Everything seemed fine after that. Although annoyed, I was done dealing with them… until today.
