B&B Appliance

I saw a dishwasher ad on Craigslist and trekked out to B & B. Mike was super nice and the washer appeared to be a great deal. We talked about a Monday delivery and I told him to call me in the morning If he could arrange the delivery so I could leave work early since I work far from home. He called me about 45 minutes before he showed up but because I hadn’t heard from him in the morning, I couldn’t leave work. He then told me that if I wanted delivery I would have to pay an additional $ 35 on top of the $ 35 I had already paid. He remembered our conversation but said he would not accomodate me for his mistake. I was also told there was a 30 day warranty on the machine. Two of the stoppers on the top rack are broken and need to be replaced. i have left 4 messages for him and he is not calling me back. The dishwasher was a good deal but by the time I pay for the second delivery charge and the stappers– not so much. I just hope nothing else goes wrong. B and B I guess stands for «buyer beware!»

The Boy got a washer yesterday! Woo hoo!
From a Craig’s List posting, he came across a steal on a Kenmore — $ 50! — at B&B Appliance. We trekked up 85 to 316 — take the State Route 124 exit and you’ll find B&B and owner Mike Bessiere in the back of a furniture and «curiousities» (I just love that old-​school word!) store maybe a mile down where the road has turned into Buford Dr.
Mike is a super-​nice guy and does appliance sales (mostly washers and dryers, plus some fridges) as well as repair work on all kinds of appliances. He does service calls for $ 35 to diagnose your problem, and if you use his services that charge is deducted from the total. If you’ve gotten a steep quote from Sears or whomever, it’d probably be worth giving him a call to see how he’d compare cost-​wise. We were impressed by the tools etc in his shop, and felt totally comfortable that he knows what he’s doing and that our new washer was a great deal.
Sometimes things break or you can’t (or don’t want to) spring for that brand-​new fancy machine of one type or another — here’s a solution for you!
