Thank you for bringing this subject to light. I’m a bit scared of the changes. Hopefully they know what they’re doing…
Personally, I think that we may be looking at changes coming around summertime. If they have the right people in place, they may be able to take things in a very good direction. There are so many crazy things happening in the world right now, that this is a very interesting time to be taking on 7 Billion in investment debt. They clearly want to make some big changes over time to increase their sales. In studying about their style of budgeting, it has raised serious concerns about how they adapt to challenging circumstances. We will see.
@@PaulKempler I read more about them online after I looked up their name from your video mention. It seems like they have all good brands; but they don’t have any non-food brands…
@@sethblaustein2405 Running a business should follow the same principles. Whether food or any other type of product, it is about how they run things. If you do more research on 3G Capital you will find a few articles in financial articles about how sales have suffered in some of the companies that they have managed. That is why I was offering consultancy to them. I’d like to make sure that the brand stays on the same upward track and I’d love to have things get even more pronounced. What is your attachment to the industry? I’m always interested in getting a diversified viewpoint from people around the country and the world.
I wonder after seven months how the new ownership of HD is progressing?
I use to work at HD for 20 years. I just found out that the one I used to work at is closing some time soon.
Very interesting Lee. Out of curiosity, which location is closing? I’m glad that you are at a different location too. Also, I hope that the team at that location finds replacement work soon. I appreciate your comment.
I've heard Hunter Douglas has stopped producing some of their blinds due to design issues. What have you guys heard?
Hunter Douglas shade are horrible, I have had my blinds break 5 times and they don’t make it easy to get them fixed. You also can wait up to 6 months to get the new shade. Don’t recommend them!
That is fascinating to hear. I’d love to hear what the circumstances are. There is no perfect product out there and supply chain issues have been very serious in the last couple of years. Either way, I’m sure Hunter Douglas would like to resolve your issue. If I can assist you, please reach out and I’ll see what I can do to help. If not, I wish you well.
This is true and has nothing to do with expecting a perfect product. If a product is defective- the manufacturer should assume full responsibility to ensure product defects are effectively and efficiently repaired at absolutely no cost to the customer.
HD does not take such customer first approach- HD expects for the customer to pay a dealer to service their product defect or for the customer to pay a dealer to ship the defective product to HD- thus the HD warranty is essentially useless beyond getting parts after the customer has to spend time and even more money for an already overpriced product which is supposed to be high end- what a joke!
The manual power button failed with barely any use in 2/3 HD blinds within the first year and I'm supposed to pay to have such defect repaired- no Hunter Douglas, do better- stop claiming to be a high end brand just because your defective products are over priced!!
