Split Rail has been owned by Tom Barenberg since 1974 and you would think that with their history it would be THE go to place. But, me thinks not!!
I drove 70 miles one way on a Saturday to look at their inventory. They only have cheesy pictures. Then my buddy asked if I thought that the grumpy dude at the desk was suffering from the night before. Well, yeah!
Since I pretty much knew what I wanted and could pay the $45.00 (or possibly more!) per foot price for 150 feet, I left my contact info and was told to expect a call from Bill on Monday or no later than Tuesday. Monday rolled by and then Tuesday rolled up to 4:30 p.m. So I called to see if, or when, I could expect to get the call.
The nasty lady on the phone said she "could not tell me if or when I would get a call." So I said "thank you," and hung up. That night Bill called and left a message that it was him and his number. Now I don't expect or make business calls at night, so I called the next morning only to get a messaging device. I left my name and number again. Well, guess what? No return call Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.
On Friday, around 4 p.m. I called to ask for a manager, which the now really nasty lady fired off twenty questions. I said I'd rather talk the matter over with the owner which really hit her hot button. So I got a messaging device that was for the owner. I left my name and number. Guess what??? Bill called again in the evening hours and left a very terse note that he had "returned" my call.
Customer service is nonexistent, employees are all in "cover your a**" mode, and their prices are excessive. Who knows what Tom knows. All I know is...save your money and split from this place. It should be renamed Third Rail Fence.
