I had the worst ever experience with Choice. I bought this a year ago. All their advertisements are about getting the warranty irrespective of the age of the house etc. My AC upstairs wasn't working. I asked them to take a look then I come to know they don't even have my correct address. Never got any contract or letter from Choice. I had that corrected. Guy comes in and told me that Choice needs pictures and leak test to be done. He charged me $195 for both. Later I have been told that it's not covered due to some code because I have rust in the coil.
I asked them why I have been charged for leak test if you can see the rust with pictures plus I was never told that they work with some exceptions. This company is totally a fraud and people are liar. The vendor they work with are also part of their plan to deceive people. I will open case with Better Business Bureau as well and tell all my friends and community not to have Choice for any reason. If you are considering Choice you better live without it. Thanks for reading.

I had an emergency, the toilet clogged. After calling Roto-Rooter the 1st time, unclogged and few days later the system backed up and flooded the house. The 2nd Roto-Rooter came in with a huge estimate. Then I called CHW, the rep put me at ease and sent me BK Plumbing who came in to assist in resolving my problem. He took his time and checked everywhere in the house to pinpoint the problem and eventually unclogged the problem.

How Many Contractors does it take to inspect an AC unit? The running tally is (5). Yup you read it correct; five different exchanges for five of which three have been the same contractor. Last year I bought a Row home in Baltimore, MD and purchased a home warranty to protect the cost of my investment. Settlement was in March, My initial claim was in September 2015. To my surprise, CHW refused to cover the cost to fix my AC because it wasn't inspected, however, my home passed a few very gruesome home inspections by the Department of Veterans Affairs since I am a Veteran.
This year, I decided to have my properties all inspected just to avoid having to pay any out of pocket expense for repairs. I called CHW, and I am being told that the warranty does not cover maintenance. Well I know that, but since you're so connected with all types of contractors wouldn't it make sense to use your service to send out one of the contractors you vouch for, and then have it documented that unit was maintained just in case, you don't want to pay for repairs in the future.
CHW told me that I have provide access to the contractors because my unit is located on the roof of my row home, which is the norm in Baltimore, Washington DC area due to space and protection from vandalism for the unit. The issue here is that none of the 3 contractors have the appropriate equipment to do their jobs (i.e. Ladders). You wouldn't hire a plumber, then buy him tools to do a job in your home, they should automatically have the appropriate tools. My next question, how does CHW screen their contractors, because none of the representatives I've spoken to seem to know. Maybe it's just me; but my belief. If I'm contracting a service provider through my organization, I'm going to make sure that they are legitimate, insured and bonded, and have an overall good reputation prior to sending them to any of my client's homes.
So I get off the line with CHW, and they are telling me that I have to provide access to the roof of my house... I don't own a truck and how am I going to first move a ladder that extends over two stories and then store it in the city, with no garage or storage on site. I'm truly disappointed CHW has continued to take my monthly premium for over one year and when I need them to provide service for my home; they tell me that I do not meet their contractual obligations. What a RIPOFF!!!

I bought a home with 4 AC units. 2 are almost new, 2 are original (1988). The other appliances were ALL replaced by me, so are also new. I bought the home warranty because the older AC units and water heater and other systems should be insured, though were working fine. Last week one of the older AC units quit, so I called Choice. After I paid the service fee and had a leak test done, the service man said there was a leak in the coil caused by rust. Choice said this was MY fault, even though I am not the original owner and DID have the unit serviced last year. NO COVERAGE AT ALL.

After a week of being placed on hold and forgotten about multiple times, being lied to about return phone calls that never happened, and a litany of excuses, this company denied a claim for repairs or replacement to my air conditioning condenser unit system which failed after many years of well maintained, normal usage. They did send out a service tech, who examined the problem and reported back to them the unit was properly maintained and should be covered by their warranty. The owner of the service company, Mr ** reported to me he had personally corroborated this report to Choice's staff, after THEY LEFT HIM ON HOLD FOR 40 MINUTES! In spite of this Choice ARBITRARILY denied the claim saying the cause was poor maintenance... Totally untrue. So I am considering legal action and have dropped "poor Choice" Home Warranty. They are a bunch of PHONIES.

For simple AC problem I have called them more than 30 times. The staff was very rude. They just tried to pick up a random issue and say that it is not under warranty. I get my own technician and he said they totally lied about the problem of my unit, and the issue was something else. They did that to not cover my unit and pretend the issue comes from a part that is not under warranty, however, the issue was something else and they wanted just to charge me for $1500 extra. DO NOT go to them, you would regret!

I have had my warranty for over two years and just filed a claim for my upstairs air-conditioning unit. To my disappointment it was rejected. The pan was leaking and they said in paragraph D item 5 it was not covered. However that paragraph was for the heater. Item 4 deals with air conditioning and it is not excluded in that paragraph. After speaking with a representative it seems that few things are covered and a lot is not covered. I did not receive my contract to review until after signing up due to "deadlines" on all of the specials they were offering and I had to request it several times before receiving it. I am disappointed in my decision to go with this company and will not renew. The positive side is that a technician contacted me in a very timely manner and I was very pleased with everything that he did.

On 05/31/2016 I contacted CHW because my AC was not cooling. They sent AAA HVAC service on 06/02/16. The tech wrote the following on work order (I have a copy). "Freon all leaked out of condenser, copper cap tunes have oil all over them" he was here for approx 30-45 min. He said CHW would call shortly to let me know about repair.
They never called so I called them at 5:30 PM. After approx hour on hold I spoke with Maurice who said CLAIM IS DENIED DUE TO KING VALVE BEING INSTALLED WRONG... CAUSED LEAK! I called previous owner and she said NO king valve or other work had been done on unit (except outside wire replaced). I told him there was NO mention of king valve by AAA tech in writing or verbal to me. I asked him if CHW would pay $400 toward the total bill of $904. He said "No! They will not budge on this." It was so hot in my house and AAA tech used heat setting to defrost unit AND left it on. I am 70 years old and I could have died.
Called another AC company. He came out at 8:30PM. Was here for approx 3.5 hrs. found 2 leaks, one outside and one inside (AAA did not find inside leak). Said nothing wrong with king valve. Leak was on other side of unit. He showed me leaks. New company was so professional and competent. Put freon in so I would be cool until he could get part. Has called twice to see if I am OK and cool. Given the circumstances I must conclude that the 'king valve' issue was added so CHW would not have to pay. AAA or CHW has never called me back! Seniors (esp women) are easy targets for abuse and scams... fortunately I am not and will not tolerate being taken advantage of. Thank you.

My experience with Choice Home Warranty has been tiresome. It seems as if anyone can be a service contractor with this company - they've sent an inexperienced contractor to my home to diagnose issues for which I had to hire two contractors out of pocket to assist with my leaking shower. Hold times are ridiculous in order to get anyone on the phone to explain what exactly on your policy is covered. The customer service agents transfer you without saying who they are transfer you to. I'm exasperated. After being with Choice since 2009 and having two policies I've decided to cancel. It's no way to treat a loyal customer. Improve your quality of service and explain what people are buying instead of just selling them a products!

Please share* warning super long post*. I do not want anyone else to be scammed as I was! Last summer I was solicited by Choice Home Warranty to switch over from my then, current home warranty company. They insisted that they needed no home inspection and it didn't matter how old my appliances were. I told them that all of my appliances were at least 20+ years old on the house that I had just recently purchased. They said over and over that it did not matter. I paid my fees and took out their warranty.
Two weeks ago I made my first claim, my Air Conditioner was not cooling properly. They sent a tech, tech said the unit was shot and I needed a new one. He said he would contact the company and get back with me. The next day he did... stating that they denied my claim but wouldn't tell him why. After almost an hour on the phone on hold, I spoke with Misha, a claims supervisor. She stated the claim wasn't denied and she, and she alone made the final decision, which she would call me with the next morning. I asked her why the tech would tell me such a thing and she said sometimes techs get "an inkling" that claims will be denied. She told me again that she would call the next day.
I called back the tech and told them what Misha said, and he said... I have it in writing in an email that the Claim was denied earlier that day. He forwarded me the email. I waited two days for Misha to call back. Finally, on the third day I received an email stating that I needed to call the company. I called and waited almost another hour on hold to get Carmilla, another claims supervisor. She first said that my claim was denied due to upgrades on the unit, when I said it was the original unit and it was between 20-30 years old with no upgrades, she then said it was due to the tech coding the diagnosis as lack of proper maintenance. I asked how she would know that, as she had no maintenance records or even asked for such a thing. She kept repeating that that was the diagnosis.
I asked for her superior and she refused to tell me a name. When I kept pressing she gave me Misha and I said that I wanted someone else, as they were equals and not her superior. She refused. I told her I wanted a refund of my policy and she then refused to speak to me any further. She said that the cancellation department would call me on Monday. It is now Tuesday with no call.
I have been in contact with the tech who said that he absolutely did not tell them that the unit failed due to lack of maintenance but old age, which is what even the recording states that Choice Home Warranty covers in the information shared while you wait on hold. The tech is willing to show them in any way that the failure was not due to lack of maintenance, compressor was clean and free of any debris or rust... but the warranty company will not honor his word. Their tech, that they sent out. I have paid them diligently and I only asked for them to repair the unit... not even replace the unit (a cost of 1500 vs. 4-5 thousand). This company is a scam. Do not give them your money! Please share so that others do not go through the stress that I am going through.

Pool pump stopped working and I assumed it needed to be replaced. Contacted Choice Warranty and filed a claim on their website. I was contacted the next day by email with the name and contact info of a repair vendor. Called them, made an appointment (for the next day). Repairman showed up next day on time and diagnosed the issue. I only needed a new plastic cover on the pump filter basket. The one there was cracked and wouldn't maintain a proper seal. That's what caused the filter pump to overheat and stop working. The next day the cap was replaced and the system worked perfectly. I even had the DE in the filter changed out as well (additional cost, not a warranty issue). I was completely happy with the entire encounter.

I would like to start my review by saying that Choice Home Warranty uses many vendors to achieve the goal of repairing broken home appliances. Their attention to detail and the customer's satisfaction is exemplary. With that being said,I have had 3 service orders for 3 separate issues, and each problem has been handled promptly and successfully without issues. The only out-of-pocket expense for me was the $45. Copay. I have had my furnace repaired, my microwave, and my refrigerator. In closing, I would like to say I was skeptical about any company repairing all of my home's issues. I am no longer a skeptic.

Their tech didn't even want to do this leak detection. Finally after another week of waiting he calls me to charge for this leak detection without repair $ 250.

I have three homes with 2 covered by Choice Home Warranty. I purchased their top plan on both, to include limited roof coverage. When I called in for very minor items they responded quickly. I called in a roof problem and they scheduled someone to come out. They came out and reported that the roof leak was in the valley where there was flashing covered by shingles. Guess what, even though that was part of the roof system (NO COVERAGE) had to pay the roofer myself. Two thousand for the repairs and $12000 for a new roof, it was an older roof so I choose the latter.
Called in problem on A/C. I know nothing about A/Cs. When I called in they asked what the problem was and I told them all I knew was that it was dripping water thru my living room ceiling. Of course their response was "we don't cover water leaks", that was that and would not send out a technician. I had to pay $130 for an A/C company to check it out. They found a leak in the coil that caused the unit to freeze up and of course in the heat of the day it thawed. Cost me $4300 for new unit. THEY WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER CENT FROM ME.

I purchase a policy with Choice Home Warranty thinking it was one of the best company. My refrigerator broke down 70 days after the warranty has been purchased. They claim it was a preexisting condition even though I was unaware of it. First of all no one had the courtesy to call me back regarding the claim. It took the same technician who fail to come back and fix the problem as schedule. That same technician called me back, reported the company denies the claim. They assume it was a preexisting issue and offered to fix it. An estimate were provided to me over the phone. When attempted to call Choice warranty from my own phone there was a block from my phone. After 1 ring the phone hang up no matter how many times I've called from my phone. When attempted to call from another phone I was able to get through with no problem, which did confirm that someone block my phone number from calling the company.
Finally I was able to speak with someone in claim department. She then transferred me to someone else who happened to answer the phone 10 minutes later after constant ringing. She identify herself as the claim supervisor. At first she could not find my claim with my address, but were able to retrieve it with my contract number. The supervisor was so rude, did not even took into consideration the amount of time spending waiting for her to answer the phone, but she was just told me my claim was not approved because it was a preexisting condition even though I may not be unaware of it and it was also due to the time frame of the policy. She further explained if it was within another month later it would have been a better outcome. Furthermore, I ask her what criteria did they use to prove it was a preexisting condition, she replied her technician report the same one who offered to fix it on the side.
My experience with Choice Home Warranty was very bad and would advise anyone out there to think twice before buying a policy from this company, because when it is time to purchase the policy the sales rep are very friendly but when it is claim issue the service is very poor they will always find ways to denies your claim and they are very unprofessional. They do not value their customers. I am very dissatisfied with the service received from Choice Home Warranty and would rate them as a 1 star company.

Choice Home Warranty hides behind small print disclaimer to deny a claim. Last November I purchased a home warranty for my elderly parent from Choice Home Warranty (CHW). In early May my mother turned on her AC and found it was not cooling properly. On May 12, 2016, I opened a repair request with Choice Home Warranty. The automated system assigned an AC company in Houston.
When I called them the company did not know of the claim. I called CHW and five days later on May 17TH, Houston Comfort Air was assigned the repair call. We made an appointment with Houston Comfort Air and a technician looked at the unit and determined the AC coils had failed. Houston Comfort Air stated they would make their recommendation to CHW as to the covered repair. I called CHW the following day and they stated they would not cover the repair because the coils had suffered rust. They stated their policy does not cover failure of a covered item from rust. CHW stated Houston Comfort Air had quoted a price of $250.00 to replace the coil and charge the unit. CHW offered to cover $100 of the $250 repair. I agreed to have the work performed.
When I called Houston Comfort Air, they stated there was a mistake and the actual cost would be around $1,400 to $1,600 to repair the AC coil. They stated the coil was no longer made and would have to order a retro-fit. When I read the contract from CHW it states they will not repair AC units that have had retro-fit equipment. So I called CHW and asked to speak to the resolution department. I told them I had another AC repair service company look at the AC. They recommended I have the second AC company call them and give their finding.
The second AC company stated the coil had failed from time (unit is 23 years old) and normal wear and tear. I spoke to CHW resolution manager and told him my AC repair company had called and told them the failure was due to time and wear and tear. The CHW resolution supervisor stated he was a former AC technician and stated the coils are charged with a refrigerant of R-22 which is caustic and causes the coils to rust from inside out over time.
Since the unit is 23 years old, I stated this is time-related failure of wear and tear. He stated their policy excludes failure from rust. So I asked if they know the coils are charged with a caustic refrigerant, then CHW does not warrant coils which is not specifically excluded. He stated CHW does cover the coils but not from rust. How could this be as the coils are charged with a caustic refrigerant? His denial made no sense as Choice Home Warranty is just hiding behind small print to deny the claim. I will never recommend them again to a client.

So I was very disappointed in Choice. Still have the leak in the air. SECOND: I had to call them out on my dishwasher, the repairman was here twice, I did everything the repairman told me to do and if that didn't work to call him again. Needless to say it didn't work and I had to call him again!! He then called Choice and told them my control panel on the dishwasher was bad. I had a top of the line stainless inside dishwasher, KitchenAid, and the repairman told them it'd cost $176 to replace the control panel.
Choice said NO, and the repairman told me ahead of time they'd say that and then offer me a really low price, not a new one!! Then Choice called me right after the repairman left and said they would mail me a check for $250... I was so angry, my dishwasher was 3 years old and a top of the line product. I asked aren't they supposed to replace it with one comparable with the one I have? They said no, again said they'd send me a check for $250!! I'm retired and I cannot afford to buy a good dishwasher on the SSI I get every month. They are exactly what the 2 repairmen told me, they're useless and cheap!! They said they don't even pay them what they're worth as repairmen and they cheat the customers all the time. So I will not renew with them and they have emailed me and called me many times this past 2 months and I've told them NO I'M NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER WITH THEM AND TO QUIT CALLING ME!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM AT ALL!!

I received a call from a salesman based on a online inquiry. He provided quotes for the coverage, which were decent and less than my current warranty program. I explained that my AC unit didn't work and needed it repaired. The salesman said that I could file a claim, but would have to wait after the 30 day wait period to have the AC repaired (on a recorded line) I advised the salesman that I wanted to reach out to Sears to see if they would meet the cost. The salesman lowered the deductible even more if I signed up today, which I did.
After the 30 day wait period, I called to file claim and was told it was pre-existing. But the salesman was advised and said I had to wait 30 days to have it fixed, of course to close the sale. After speaking with management, they apologized that the salesman lied and was deceiving, but could not honor the repair. I had to pay a cancellation fee to the prior warranty group because I cancelled. Had I known this was all a lie, I would have had them repair it and not waited 30 days.

My experience has been absolutely worthless with what I was misled to believe in regards to home repair coverage offered. First the monthly fee and service call fees I was quoted to sign up were incorrect. We had some basic home repairs needed, and when I called it was stated that they wouldn't be covered. I went back through the materials sent to me and everything we needed completed was not covered. As a matter of fact there is more things not covered than covered by them. We used it once for our dryer and to this day it still doesn't run effectively. So much for a new replacement. The times I've called it has taken over 15 minutes to talk to a human being.

I attempted to negotiate with them, they came back with an amount that was still not acceptable.
At that point they said they would research replacements & came back with an offer of a bottom of the line replacement for my high-end dishwasher... An extra $20 over their previous offer. (I can understand some discount for age, but REALLY?) I reluctantly emailed that I would take the check. 17 days passed with no response and no check, so I called them. On hold for a long time. A person identifying herself as a "claims supervisor" came on the line. I gave her my information & explained I hadn't heard anything from them. She transferred me to the "appropriate department" where I remained on hold, listening to the phone ring for several minutes. When someone finally answered, she had no explanation for why I hadn't heard anything from them.

I have received the worse home warranty experience from Choice Home Warranty ever. Signed up with them about a year ago in August 2015 and paid my policy premium upfront in full. My very first claim submitted for my garage door opener was rejected on the grounds that they do not cover the wireless receiver unit. Second claim was submitted about 6 months after that for both my microwave and cooktop burner. After waiting an entire week and paying 2 separate deductibles to the service Tech for the service call and trying to get some answers from Choice Warranty (dealing with very long telephone call wait times averaging 40-50 min each time to speak with their service Rep), they came back and rejected both claims on some flimsy grounds that the technician noted that cooktop burner had some corrosion.
The microwave claim for my Maytag wall-mounted oven/microwave unit that came with the house (installed by builder) was also not covered because the model UMC5200AAS says that it is a counter top that can be optional installed on the wall as built-in, and they do not cover counter top units. I have never had any issues with this unit in past as it was always covered as built-in since both the oven and microwave combo are in-built and wall mounted. What a shame and a sham of a business!

When we first decided to take on Choice Warranty, it was on a decision to cut back on finances. My Mother is 85 years old and owns 2 homes. I own 1. The salesman was really excited to have 3 properties and charged us such a nice price for 3 homes if we paid in full for 1 year. We had to make a quick decision. We asked him questions like, "This is to good to be true, whats the catch? Are you sure it covers everything?" He responded yes. He was adamant and said, "Listen, we cover a lot more than other companies". We trusted him and went with Choice Warranty. Since then Property #1 the Bathroom was not flushing with pressure. I called, the customer service rep was a flamboyant over the top representative. And said, "We don't cover low pressure." I asked him to please connect me to a supervisor. And while typing he said, "I am supervisor"... I was just completely defeated. What to do?
I told him that the garage door was broken and didn't want to open and the door was really heavy to lift for my mother. He proceeded to file a claim. A tech came out. And lo and behold. The springs were not covered and we had to not only pay the service fee but also the parts of the garage door repair. Well one month and one week pass and the garage door is not working again. Well it appears to be the sensors that is not covered either. So I contact the warranty company, they send me 2 notification stating, "Please be advised we have re-sent the work order at a $0.00 service call fee". $0 service fee. I was so happy.
But when I called they said, "No its over 30 days that the tech has been there. And there is a service fee." I asked them to please honor what they put in writing. The rep escalated to a supervisor and as a courtesy they would waive the fee. But I still would have to pay $79 just to have the tech come out and align the censors. I will just google it and do it myself... I complained to the rep. She said, "You can talk to a Manager." She escalated to regina in escalations. And Regina was kind to listen. But offered no solution. Just said "thank you" and "I am sorry."
Property 3. Low pressure in the shower in the 2nd floor. Not covered. Foul smell in the basement around the sewer line with visible water surrounding. The policy doesn't cover foul smell. I told them the foul smell is from the sewage seeping from the crack in the pipe. I had given up at this point. I was afraid that I would be charged again. I am so disappointed. All the money I dished out in repairs since I began the policy. I could have paid to my former Warranty company and they covered more. They were a little more pricey but you get what you pay for. My suggestion is this. Read the policy before you get involved. Do month by month so you can get out of the contract if you can. I am sorry I signed with Choice. I will not be renewing my contract with them. Thank you and good luck to you all with Choice Warranty.

I sued Choice Home Warranty 2 times in Florida. They were served and I got a Judgment each time for $5000.00 each case plus court costs and fees. Choice hired an attorney to try and get me to reduce it and settle and I refused. Choice is not paying the judgments and is only delaying things because New Jersey has them under an Order of compliance with a State paid person to oversee their operations. New Jersey's court judgment was over $700,000.00 to be paid back to consumers. I have my judgment, and choice will not pay, all the while the Owner Victor Mandalawi takes home a check for $3.7 million dollars per year. The company is a sham, a scam and should not be in business.
My next step is to get a court order and go to their office in New Jersey and start taking property from their office to satisfy my judgment. In my experience is to not ever use this company because they do not even pay their vendors. They are likeMadoff.

They contacted another appliance company a few days later and Parker Appliance came out and looked at the oven. They determined it needed a new control board.
A couple of weeks went by and numerous calls on why it was taking so long. CHW said that the oven was old and they didn't want to repair it because of the age and the part was not available. I found the part, a control board, available online at Sears and Appliance Select. They just wanted to give us $300 for us to take care of the repair ourselves or buy a new oven. They eventually increased it to $350. I said the contract says they will fix whatever is listed on the contract regardless of age and fix it however many times. So they finally agreed to order the part and fix it.
Weeks went by and numerous calls again and Parker Appliance showed up again. Without a part. So eventually he got the part and came back a week later. He installed it and it still did not fix the problem. He said it also needed a new control panel. I read online that it is not uncommon for a control panel to go out when the control board goes out. So he said he would talk to CHW and get the part. A couple of weeks have gone by and nothing. We contacted CHW about the oven today and they said they were not going to cover the part. They don't cover secondary parts. So if the repair needs two parts you are out of luck. The brochure states one thing but what they actually do is another. I would never recommend them.

First claim - denied. Full stop. Suspiciously sounds like you're looking for reasons NOT to settle. Was told I hadn't maintained my AC system, despite a full maintenance activity done just last month! Moved from American Home Shield a good few months ago. Looks like another move is imminent for all my properties. Very disappointing Choice Home Warranty!

The repairmen from GreenTec HVAC/R were very nice and professional. They called when they were running late and let us know they would be here as soon as possible. They fixed the issue in a short time. I would recommend them for future issues.

Choice Warranty solved our issues quickly. We called Thursday about our AC upstairs not working. They told us how long it would take. The repair company called the same day and the gentleman came the next day, at the time he was supposed to be here. He worked, had the part, and fixed our AC. He serviced the AC also. My husband asked if he went to the attic to do something there, but he did not. I do have his information. Thank you.

As a person who has had a home warranty since 2007, I can honestly say that Choice is the best and most affordable out there. My service call was quick and easy. The operator on the phone was super nice. The contractor returned my call in less than 20 minutes of me placing the work order. I am so happy that I switched to Choice Home Warranty.

The company who showed up did a great job and I was informed by the technician what the problem was. He did not have the part on him and had to come back the next day and fix it as he promised.

A blower on our air-conditioning went out. Choice was quick to respond. However their selection of vendor in our area is extremely poor. Simple Air Solutions called and used an excuse that they never received our repeat phone calls asking for status... We went one week without AC in Texas in June. After 17 minutes on hold I was able to talk to supervisor from Choice but the good news is she was able to give me money towards a blower and I was able to use my own air-conditioning person who will get the job done in 72 hours. I will still be out $200 but at least have air-conditioning.

I made a GREAT decision buying a Home Warranty with CHW. Called in my problem, American Veteran Garage called me to set up an appt. The technician was fast, friendly, and did a great job fixing my door. Very easy transaction, saved me $$$... Thanks much CHW.

My claim was handled promptly and a repair person called the very day I submitted the claim. He was able to give me an appointment the next day. He arrived promptly and assessed the problem. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. A part had to be ordered and I am waiting for delivery and another appointment. I was more than pleased how everything was handled.
