There’s a lot of BS going on in businesses too. We went to a prominent “big box” home center 6 weeks ago. Bought and authorized the installation of a replacement insulated, well known “brand name”, garage door. (Original door, uninsulated, was over 31yrs. old; good shape, but not current storm rated)
It was installed yesterday and the “name brand” we ordered was only a marketing ploy. The manufacturer was a company we had never heard of but was tied to the “name brand” company through a business deal. The “name brand” is on windows, storm doors and garage doors. But, as it turns out, the only products they actually manufacture are windows. The other two are manufactured by and carry the name of unheard of company’s.
The garage door seems perfectly good and acceptable. We just wish we had been told at the time before we signed on the dotted line that the door we would receive was actually built by an unheard of company. It’s almost like a bait and switch feeling.
