We called Champion in September of 2022 to get a quote on doors for our home. We finally got a representative to come out on October 13th, we spent a few hours going over things and ordered 2 exterior doors and 2 storm doors. $8500 for the all. It was supposed to take about 6 months for them to come in and was supposed to be installed by late April, latest was to be May 1st, 2023. We were fine with that. We got the promotion where it was 0% interest if paid in full in 12 months. Ok. Champion was supposed to keep us updated on the status of our purchase. November, December , January, February, March, April; no word from Champion. I finally called the first week in April. When calling, you can't get in touch with anyone, you have to leave your number and they call you back. When they called me back, they said they were still waiting on the doors to come in. They would call and update us as soon as they came in. Ok. Now in this time period, we were charged and paid the first 5100$ in full. I called every week in May. I finally told them I wanted to cancel, but the cancellation period is three days after purchase. Which would have been 10/16/2022. I find that funny. In the beginning of May, I tried getting a hold of a manager or supervisor to express my concerns about our purchase, called every week, it is now June and no manager has called me back. June 11th the installer, Carl, called and said the doors are in, he will be here on June 19th at 9am to install the doors. At 11am, Carl still wasn't at my house and no one called me. I called the customer service number, the lady was very nice, she was upset about all I've been through. 230pm June 19th, I drove to the showroom store on Fernando Rd in Columbia. A nice man named Doug Congdon, the showroom manager, is helping me. I have explained the whole situation to him. Carl was in the back of the showroom on a conference call, Doug went back to ask him about why he didn't install the doors today. He Lied!! Said that he never set an appt for today, he said he called and told me I had to unblock the green sky account, which I can't do, champion has to do it. I was so frustrated about this. Why would I lie about it?? Where did I come up with that app?? I explained this to Doug and he said he believed me, but who knows. And the fact that this man lied about what happened… wow (Also I have the email that was sent to me saying that the appointment had been scheduled through the Champion system for June 19th.)So Doug is supposed to contact his manager and ask her about what's going on and what happens next and get back to me by the end of business today. Doug called me at 4:45pm, and said his manager was out sick today, which he didn't mention earlier when I spoke with him. But he said he sent her an email and he would call me Tomorrow. At 825 am on June 20, the office manager, Kimberly Gunn, called me, but I didn't answer. She left a message saying to fill out the green sky paperwork so they can make the last charge. She sent me the paperwork via email. On June 22nd, Kimberly Gunn, the office manager called me. She explained to me that we needed to sign the green sky paperwork so they could charge the last payment. I told her that we were waiting to hear back from Green sky. Because we are going forward with an investigation against Champion for their conduct during this project. The contract does say "start installation approximately 22-24 weeks from transaction date". As of June 19th, it has been 35 weeks. On June 28th, all of the paperwork had been completed and signed. I'm waiting for them to call and schedule an appt for the installation of our doors. WHich will now have to be delayed till it gets cooler outside because with the heat of SC all the bugs will be waiting to enter our home while they are working. So when they called I scheduled the appt for Oct 5th but the Green Sky account billing period ends the next day so I rescheduled for Sept 20, 2023. On Sept 20, 2023 an installer named Frank and his partner (I'm so sorry I can't remember his name or if he even told me. He was very nice also, very quiet.) came and installed our doors. Did the job in one day and was very nice and professional. Thanks Frank and your partner get 5 stars. Now the actual product that we got, 2 stars. The doors are the cheapest ones they had, which were still 8500$, so i guess we just expected something with better quality. We will never use or recommend Champion windows to anyone. Between the customer service and the quality of the product it is not worth the headache, money, or stress.
