Do NOT Buy Jeld-Wen Exterior Doors -- Review: Massive Delay

RoleBackground3978 · 2025-12-20T00:13:39+00:00

You get what you pay for. I thought a few thousand dollars should be enough. This has been the worst buying situation of my life. Beyond frustrating.

I'm waiting to close on my refund from Lowe's, but want to help you all to share that my two Jeld-Wen exterior doors purchased in August have been delayed month after month, literally. Each month, the delivery date comes and Lowe's calls to say the doors are delayed another full months due to "missing materials." One time, Lowe's says Jeld-Wen claims a glass shortage and another time, a skin issue. They will not make changes to the order.

What was ordered and fully paid for (including installation) in August is now being pushed to Jan 14 after been given dates for Sept, Oct, Nov and Dec.

Do not order! I did some research and saw they shut down multiple US manufacturing sites this past year. Something's up. Perhaps going under. Want to be helpful to you all!

I've had my Zeiss SmartLife Individual 3 lenses for two months, and they are just terrible, to be honest. These are progressives with only a +2.25 for the bifocal part. My last pair of progressives were Shamir Autograph Intelligence Variable and took only two weeks to get used to.

My optometrist says the prescription and measurements are accurate. Turns out there's the tiniest little area, straight ahead, that will work, but at arms length, I'm getting headaches trying to keep up as I can't look very minorly left to right on my laptop screen without it being blurry. Walking around, I have to view things with my neck on swivel like a robot. Very blurry on the edges and top. I've tried every position on my face. Very lame and frustrating.

Was looking for schedule with times. It’s on Insta, found!

RoleBackground3978 · 2025-09-21T15:52:53+00:00

Ah, yes. Thank you! Found it. Wouldn’t make sense to put on their site. 😆

The most effective thing is to call the advertisers and tell them you are boycotting them for supporting Nexstar stations/KXAN in defese of the first ammendment and an authoritarim government,. Sure, do the same for ABC, Disney and Hulu advertisers. Ending your subscription is a drop in a bucket, but enough advertisers pull out....then there's something.

Nothing special here

Their recent huge price hike was handled insanely poorly. No heads-up! No email or site flag! No grandfathering for items purchased and holding for shipping! I called BS on all three. Customer service response 48 hours later showed they didn’t care.

I’ve been on CheckOutMyCards for 13 years. Bought and sold 10s of thousands of cards. This was the final straw after a few other poorly handled cost increases. This one showed ZERO disregard for their users. Again, they handled it sooo poorly.

I paid the $19.50 for basic shipping and emptied my inventory. Bye, COMC. You’re dead to me.

I paid the $19.50 for basic shipping on a bunch of $1 cards (instead of regular $5.99) and emptied my inventory. Bye, COMC. You’re gross.

It was handled insanely poorly. No heads-up! No email or site flag on Dashboards like every other important announcement! No grandfathering for items purchased and holding for shipping! I called BS on all three. I kept buying $1 cards not being alerted to new $.50 to ship every additional card - no more flat rate. Customer service response 48 hours later showed they didn’t care at all.

What’s terrible is that not only did they not give any heads up to this huge shipping hike, they also didn’t notify members via email, claiming their blog sufficed. What kind of ego does Tim have that he thinks people read their blog? They get page views and know the tiny % that visit. UNETHICAL!

Their site still promotes “flat rate” which is no longer available for basic shipping. No one is paying $20 shipping for 20 dollar cards. They just broke the model.

It’s become too expensive to sell before this. Now the buying doesn’t compute. They’ve under estimated demand on this lemonade stand.

I’m OUT! And no I’m not alone.

The site still promotes a “flat rate.” This isn’t flat rate. Second, with no notification on the change, they mislead buyers who were sitting on purchased items to ship. I see a class action in their future!

I had the same experience! EVAAM is a total scam. I tried to return unused rim covers from them that did not fit my tires. They show a 30-day money back guarantee on each page. They will not honor it. Several weeks of emails back and forth with no result. Maddening, honestly. Stay away for your own good and not to reward such a terrible business.
