Build.com Reviews Summary

The company has garnered significant criticism regarding its customer service and product handling, with numerous reports of damaged items upon delivery and inadequate support during the return process. Customers express frustration over lengthy wait times for refunds and poor communication, often feeling abandoned after issues arise. Despite some positive remarks about the efficiency of the ordering process and product variety, the overarching sentiment indicates a lack of reliability and accountability. This suggests a pressing need for the company to improve its quality control and customer service practices to enhance overall customer satisfaction.

BathRoom remodel
December 27, 2018

Purchased vent fan, toilet, sink and faucet, shower faucet, and shower doors from build.com. The products recommended by the consultant were amazing. The shower faucet shower head and shower doors were Miseno brand and were top notch quality the installers were impressed at the quality of these products. Delivery on all products was quick and free. Most important of all was the sales consultant Sophi Paul she made sure I received the best prices and the best products. You will definitely use build.com for future projects.

Service done right
December 24, 2018

Friendly, knowledgeable and committed to getting things right. Had a delay on a shipment I needed to keep the contractor going on a renovation. Service helped me find a replacement product, credited my account and got me the product I needed in under a week. Nicely done.

I am a custom bathroom contractor and all my buddies told me to stay away from Build.com because back-ordered items never ship on time. But I had to try, what an idiot. Shipping day arrives and I get a notice it will be another month, but they are "very concerned and want to let me know". I have a feeling that somewhere in that large system of theirs they knew a while ago that they weren't going to ship on-time but did nothing. Knowing a week ago would have made all the difference. No customer service, not responsible, and as a result, I am not able to do business with them.

I purchased from a lighting fixture company directly - or so I thought. And all of a sudden I started getting emails from build. Com welcoming me into their... whatever(?)
I don't know who or what they are and I don't want to- and I don't care. It seems they are just another layer in the way of what I am trying to accomplish.

I have purchased just about every type of home improvement item that was needed for our home remodeling projects on Build.com. We have rebuilt every room in this house. I have purchased: can lights, trim rings, pendant lights, bathroom lav and shower faucets ( 3 separate bathrooms), handle pulls, Reva-shelf lift, even the kitchen sink and faucet! Every order was correct, on time and very well priced. If I had a problem it was fixed immediately. I come back everytime I need something new for our projects.

Just what I needed
December 16, 2018

I'd spent time looking at a number of websites, as well as checking in with local stores but I was able to get just what I wanted in a sink at a cheaper price from Build.com. It arrived in excellent condition and within a normal amount of time (exactly 2 weeks) as it came from the mid-west and was delivered to California... during winter.

Great place to do business! They sent the wrong item, but when I notified them of the mistake, they told not to bother returning it. They immediately sent me what I ordered.

Have found very good pricing on almost everything. Shipping is fast, packing is excellent, returns are smooth and simple. The only thing that could make it any better would be if someone came and did the job for me!
