Recently I bought engineered hardwood from DLB Flooring on Corrine, Orlando FL.
I ended up following up with the floor manufacturer and they confirmed they sent that order to a local warehouse. No bait and switch. It arrived on time and was picked up by the installer. Its exactly what we ordered, expected. Mark Langlois and his team did the install just over this past weekend (May 8 and 9, 2010) and it looks great!
I will be using them to finish the rest of our house down the road and will recommend DLB to friends.
A business cant please everyone every time I suppose, but this time they nailed it. Pun INTENDED.

Of
course you cant keep arguing with me you cant win any arguments because the
fact is you are doing all these things that you are accused of. You can claim
you took care of them, them being some of your ripped off costumers.
It
only took a year and the threat of bad publicity and court for you to start paying
people back. It doesnt matter anyway. Even if in your mind paying people back
makes it all better it does not mean that all parties involved are happy about
what happened. They can complain about you whenever and however they want as a big
fat warning to other consumers DO NOT USE DLB
FLOORING THE OWNER DANIEL LEE BATTERBEE WILL RIP YOU OFF.
If
you bring them back, make it so all the merchantcircle reviews for you can be
seen I will stop posting about you on the net. Including my last series
of posts planed for you. Even I think what I have in mind might be too much.
But on the bright side everyone will know about you.

If

make a criminal case against you.

I
agree with all of these
postings. This guy is dishonset and should be arrested. Here is what I
wrote to my credit card
company
when dealing with a refund Danny Batterbee told
me he would give me:
On Friday, May 15th, 2009, I bought 1498.72 square feet of Park Avenue 12mm
laminate flooring, underlayment and coordinating trim from DLB Flooring located
at 3118 Corrine Drive Orlando, FL 32802. I paid $5342.11 with my At &
t Universal Mastercard. After this purchase I decided to upgrade the
underlayment for the flooring. On Monday, May 18th, 2009 I authorized
another charge of $628.25 for the upgrade. When I received the flooring,
underlayment and trim I realized that some of the trim pieces were
incorrect. The owner of DLB Flooring, Danny Betterbee, told me that he
was going to correct the order. I waited and eventually decided to return
the trim pieces to him. On Thursday, June 18th, 2009 I returned the trim
pieces to DLB Flooring for a refund of $175.00 which posted two days later on
June 20th, 2009. On this same day I mentioned to Danny Betterbee that I
had 7 extra unopened boxes of flooring left over after installation. He
told me that I
could return the 7 boxes to DLB Flooring for a full refund of
$356.93. I returned the 7 boxes of flooring to DLB Flooring on Monday,
June 22nd, 2009. Danny Betterbee gave me a handwritten credit slip for
$356.93 and told me that Armstrong would mail me a check for the refund.
After waiting for at least 1-2 months I called Armstrong to see where my refund
check was. They informed me that they do not mail refunds to
customers. When I contacted Danny Betterbee he changed his story and told
me that his distributor was supposed to mail me the refund check. He told
me he was going to contact his distributor and call me back. He did not
call me back. I had to repeatedly call him and leave several voice mails
before I was able to get a hold of him. Since then he has consistently
given me the runaround. At one point he even told me that he was not able
to make contact with his distributor because he (the distributor) has been out
of work due to cancer.
I attempted to call Danny Betterbee at DLB Flooring in excess of 20-30
times in an attempt to resolve this issue. I left him a voice mail every
time he did not answer my call. He has answered approximately 5 of my phone
calls.
Eventually I started to feel as though Danny Betterbee was purposely not
answering my phone calls whenever he would see my phone number on his caller
ID. Therefore, On Monday, October 5th, 2009 I called him from a different
phone number which he would not recognize, He answered the first call I made
from the different number. He told me that He did not know I was trying
to call him and that he did not receive any of the multiple voice mails I left
for him. I asked him if he could just credit the $356.93 back to my At
&t Universal Mastercard. He agreed and even confirmed the credit card
number that the refund was to be credited to. I waited approximately 5
days and contacted At & t Universal. I was advised that there was no
credit/refund posted to my account from DLB Flooring.
On October 12th, 2009 my wife and I went to DLB Flooring in an attempt to
confront Danny Betterbee about the refund I am owed. He gave us several
different excuses and lies. He told me that after speaking with me on
October 5th, 2009 he contacted his distributor and gave him my credit card
number over the phone. He stated that the distributor was then supposed
to issue the credit to my account. That is totally different from what he
told me over the phone on October 5th, 2009. It was obvious that Danny
Betterbee did not and never intended to give me my refund. After several
minutes of arguing, Danny Betterbee swiped my At & t Universal Credit Card
at 1:35 pm and handed me a printed credit for a refund of $353.00. I
informed him that the refund was supposed to be for $356.93 not $353.00.
He then pulled a $5.00 bill out of his wallet and handed it to me with an
irritated look on his face. As of this date (October 19th, 2009) the
$353.00 credit has not posted to my account. I am worried that, based on
Danny
Betterbees past behavior, he cancelled the $353.00 refund transaction as soon
as I walked out of his business.
I filed a complaint with the BBB and several other consumer
organizations.
Someone needs to get the word out on this guy and put a stop to him.
That was an email to me from Christian.
Christian couldnt spell
your name but like Ronald below who also couldnt spell your name, we get the jest
of it.
You stated here http://www.ripoffreport.com/home-improvements/dlb-floorinf-source/dlb-floorinf-source-daniel-lee-7a2fa.htm
he also has been taken care of a long time ago!!! I
gave him his refund back.. Plus he got one hell of a deal on his flooring
and he will tell you that!!!!
No Danny what
Christian told me was exactly what I posted, word for word. He didnt mention
anything about a great deal. He genuinely seemed pissed. His words This
guy is dishonset and should be arrested. That doesnt sound like Danny gave
me a hell of a deal to me.
If you actually did
give Christian his refund it took it going public on craigslist and the rip off
report for it to happen. Good is coming out of this its not a waste of time.
Or more than likely the reason for a refund would have been that the credit
card company stepped in and forced the refund to happen. The credit card companies
will ask for any other proof of past fraud or similar issues reported from
other consumers. You have attempted to clean up some other review sights but
there is plenty of evidence online for the consumers credit card company to
take the side of the consumer and pursue. But you already know this proof of
that can be read here at http://www.dexknows.com/business_profiles/dlb_flooring_source-b235200
when you baited and switched them a year ago. You pretended you machine was out
of order or just plain could not afford your credit card machine. I think you
lied knowing they would charge you back and you would be held responsible with
the consumers credit card company. Or Suntrust stopped allowing you to use their
services because of your past history. It doesnt matter you are lying so much whatever
you say cant be believed.
Ripped-Off by macliss - 06/22/2009
Do not do business with this guy! He truly is a hack.
We had been shopping around for Armstrong floors and slick DLB came up with an
out of this world price. We supposedly only had a week to take advantage of
this great offer from Armstrong. He showed us supposed dealer prices from other
vendors and explained how everyone was ripping customers off. We had to write a
check, since his Credit Card machine was conveniently out of service (Suntrust
somehow could never get anyone to come out and look at it). He sold us fake
Armstrong floors and lied to my face three different times when I asked him if
they truly were Armstrong brand (they came in unmarked boxes). Now we're stuck
with $5k worth of junk, with no chargeback rights from Visa. It doesn't make
sense to get an attorney at this point since it wouldn't be cost-efficient. He
is a dirty SOB and will get what's coming to him. Stay away from DLB Flooring
and Danny Batterbee.
Here are some more great examples of you baiting and
switching people you are nothing but a lying crook.
This one was one of the reason I started my campaign about
you, after reading her original post you covered up on the merchant circle. At
first she didnt even realize what you were doing was bait and switch. She does
now.
After switching the tile twice on her you promise an $85
discount, you owed her hundreds of dollars back. Then you write her a $50 rubber check on a closed account!!! If I ever did half the fraudulent acts you do
I would be in jail. I guess the lesson here is if you want to be a crook, do it
under a business name even Casey Anthony is in jail for something like that. I
guess she should have opened a flooring shop because apparently you can get
away with anything than.
DLB
Issues NSF Corporate Check on Closed account by madgal - 01/08/2009
The
first tile ordered and the second tile ordered were the wrong tiles, but had
second delivery installed as was tired of the 2-3 weeks wait at the Holidays.
Mr.
Batterbee informed me that I had an $85 refund due for the wrong tile and
inconvenience, etc. Almost a month later, after numerous excuses why the check
was never available, on 12/27/08, a check for $50 was issued on the DLB account
at SunTrust Bank, which turned out to be NSF on a closed account. Mr. B.
vigorously denied he had issued a 'rubber check', but nonetheless, has not made
good on it to date, 1/8/09.
Please
note that the phone number above has been disconnected; Mr. B. uses a cell
phone now.
Care should be taken when dealing with him.
Now this one Danny, another
recent bait and switch exposed. I called it when I said you would want to do
another Craigslist hustle dont do it. Thats what I meant by another
Craigslist hustle. And dont do it means you shouldnt do it because of course
you are going to get caught again. It makes me wonder how many people dont say
or do anything? It must be enough to make you keep doing it over and over.
You
will probably find yourself trying to do a craigslist hustle or two. DONT DO
IT!!! Eventually you can get arrested. You are slightly protected by business
laws right now but what you are doing is also criminal.
You are a very bad man
with a problem. I hope you dont believe your lies. You are caught. Its just a matter of time.
Here is yet another
great example of you getting caught baiting and switching consumers. Ronalds
Bait and switch story and other bad reviews can be found on
http://www.yellowpages.com/orlando-fl/mip/dlbs-flooring-source-451642/reviews#review-1
DO NOT BUY FROM DLB FLOORING
We purchased 1000 Square Feet of Robbins 1st Quality wood Flooring from DLB flooring. We were delivered 1000 square feet of Timberlake UNWARRANTED wood flloring which was obviosly factory seconds (maybe factory 3rd quality) wood flooring. Danny Battersby told us that factory made a mistake and he would fix the problem. We returned the wood to Mr. Battersby with the promise of receiving a full refund. It is now 2 months later and still no refund. We have contacted the police. The detective told us that this is not something the state attorney wants them to pursue but called Mr. Battersby anyway. Mr. Battersby told the Detective that this was a mistake and he would make sure the refund was processed. That was 1 month ago. DANNY BATTERSBY IS A CROOK. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM DLB FLOORING.
So how many complaints about you Danny? They just go on and on. Every time I look there are more.

number over the phone. He stated that the distributor was then supposed
to issue the credit to my account. That is totally different from what he
told me over the phone on October 5th, 2009. It was obvious that Danny
Betterbee did not and never intended to give me my refund. After several
minutes of arguing, Danny Betterbee swiped my At & t Universal Credit Card
at 1:35 pm and handed me a printed credit for a refund of $353.00. I
informed him that the refund was supposed to be for $356.93 not $353.00.
He then pulled a $5.00 bill out of his wallet and handed it to me with an
irritated look on his face. As of this date (October 19th, 2009) the
$353.00 credit has not posted to my account. I am worried that, based on
Danny
Betterbees past behavior, he cancelled the $353.00 refund transaction as soon
as I walked out of his business.
I filed a complaint with the BBB and several other consumer
organizations.
Someone needs to get the word out on this guy and put a stop to him.
That was an email to me from Christian.
Christian couldnt spell
your name but like Ronald below who also couldnt spell your name, we get the jest
of it.
You stated here http://www.ripoffreport.com/home-improvements/dlb-floorinf-source/dlb-floorinf-source-daniel-lee-7a2fa.htm
he also has been taken care of a long time ago!!! I
gave him his refund back.. Plus he got one hell of a deal on his flooring
and he will tell you that!!!!
No Danny what
Christian told me was exactly what I posted, word for word. He didnt mention
anything about a great deal. He genuinely seemed pissed. His words This
guy is dishonset and should be arrested. That doesnt sound like Danny gave
me a hell of a deal to me.
If you actually did
give Christian his refund it took it going public on craigslist and the rip off
report for it to happen. Good is coming out of this its not a waste of time.
Or more than likely the reason for a refund would have been that the credit
card company stepped in and forced the refund to happen. The credit card companies
will ask for any other proof of past fraud or similar issues reported from
other consumers. You have attempted to clean up some other review sights but
there is plenty of evidence online for the consumers credit card company to
take the side of the consumer and pursue. But you already know this proof of
that can be read here at http://www.dexknows.com/business_profiles/dlb_flooring_source-b235200
when you baited and switched them a year ago. You pretended you machine was out
of order or just plain could not afford your credit card machine. I think you
lied knowing they would charge you back and you would be held responsible with
the consumers credit card company. Or Suntrust stopped allowing you to use their
services because of your past history. It doesnt matter you are lying so much whatever
you say cant be believed.
Ripped-Off by macliss - 06/22/2009
Do not do business with this guy! He truly is a hack.
We had been shopping around for Armstrong floors and slick DLB came up with an
out of this world price. We supposedly only had a week to take advantage of
this great offer from Armstrong. He showed us supposed dealer prices from other
vendors and explained how everyone was ripping customers off. We had to write a
check, since his Credit Card machine was conveniently out of service (Suntrust
somehow could never get anyone to come out and look at it). He sold us fake
Armstrong floors and lied to my face three different times when I asked him if
they truly were Armstrong brand (they came in unmarked boxes). Now we're stuck
with $5k worth of junk, with no chargeback rights from Visa. It doesn't make
sense to get an attorney at this point since it wouldn't be cost-efficient. He
is a dirty SOB and will get what's coming to him. Stay away from DLB Flooring
and Danny Batterbee.
Here are some more great examples of you baiting and
switching people you are nothing but a lying crook.
This one was one of the reason I started my campaign about
you, after reading her original post you covered up on the merchant circle. At
first she didnt even realize what you were doing was bait and switch. She does
now.
After switching the tile twice on her you promise an $85
discount, you owed her hundreds of dollars back. Then you write her a $50 rubber check on a closed account!!! If I ever did half the fraudulent acts you do
I would be in jail. I guess the lesson here is if you want to be a crook, do it
under a business name even Casey Anthony is in jail for something like that. I
guess she should have opened a flooring shop because apparently you can get
away with anything than.
DLB
Issues NSF Corporate Check on Closed account by madgal - 01/08/2009
The
first tile ordered and the second tile ordered were the wrong tiles, but had
second delivery installed as was tired of the 2-3 weeks wait at the Holidays.
Mr.
Batterbee informed me that I had an $85 refund due for the wrong tile and
inconvenience, etc. Almost a month later, after numerous excuses why the check
was never available, on 12/27/08, a check for $50 was issued on the DLB account
at SunTrust Bank, which turned out to be NSF on a closed account. Mr. B.
vigorously denied he had issued a 'rubber check', but nonetheless, has not made
good on it to date, 1/8/09.
Please
note that the phone number above has been disconnected; Mr. B. uses a cell
phone now.
Care should be taken when dealing with him.
Now this one Danny, another
recent bait and switch exposed. I called it when I said you would want to do
another Craigslist hustle dont do it. Thats what I meant by another
Craigslist hustle. And dont do it means you shouldnt do it because of course
you are going to get caught again. It makes me wonder how many people dont say
or do anything? It must be enough to make you keep doing it over and over.
You
will probably find yourself trying to do a craigslist hustle or two. DONT DO
IT!!! Eventually you can get arrested. You are slightly protected by business
laws right now but what you are doing is also criminal.
You are a very bad man
with a problem. I hope you dont believe your lies. You are caught. Its just a matter of time.
Here is yet another
great example of you getting caught baiting and switching consumers. Ronalds
Bait and switch story and other bad reviews can be found on

DO NOT BUY FROM DLB FLOORING
We purchased 1000 Square Feet of Robbins 1st Quality wood Flooring from DLB flooring. We were delivered 1000 square feet of Timberlake UNWARRANTED wood flloring which was obviosly factory seconds (maybe factory 3rd quality) wood flooring. Danny Battersby told us that factory made a mistake and he would fix the problem. We returned the wood to Mr. Battersby with the promise of receiving a full refund. It is now 2 months later and still no refund. We have contacted the police. The detective told us that this is not something the state attorney wants them to pursue but called Mr. Battersby anyway. Mr. Battersby told the Detective that this was a mistake and he would make sure the refund was processed. That was 1 month ago. DANNY BATTERSBY IS A CROOK. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM DLB FLOORING.
So how many complaints about you Danny? They just go on and on. Every time I look there are more.

3 complaints!!!!!! ROTFL(Thats rolling on the floor laughing in texting abbreviations) Yellowbot alone has three!! Merchant circle has like 100 complaints about you that you have hidden. They rate you at 2 out of 10 but somehow only phony posts that you posted are visible I wonder how that happened?
I needed a good laugh this morning.
Is it so hard to believe I am just a person who is helping others get justice? You are protected from instantly being arrested when you scam somebody through your store. You can steal lie and cheat people. What can they do? Can they call the cops and have you arrested? NO. They have to take you to court lots of work, that some people you rip off dont even bother to do and others have and are suing you. Some asked for help. I saw a plea for help and helped. Look at how easy it is to be a Good Samaritan much better and easier than the rode you chose. All I had to do was a couple Google searches and I knew more about you than I needed to know.
Lets pick up where we left of in the other rip off report post about you. I didnt want to bring it all over from that blog but since you ran away scared last time I will repost my questions from there here. I am so glad to have you back and participating.
Here it is the post titled run and dont look back from http://www.ripoffreport.com/home-improvements/dlb-floorinf-source/dlb-floorinf-source-daniel-lee-7a2fa.htm

This should be interesting. Lets take a look at the reviews left for you on Yellowbot. Now I understand that not every person is easy to please but you personally have more bad reviews for a small flooring business than any other locale small flooring company. DLB hasnt even been in business for that long.
First you have Miss Sandra Green Run and don't look back! Strong words need she say more. I dont think so but she did.
Next we have Dave. Dave is claiming he never even received the flooring that he paid you up front for. Thats not bait and switch thats just plain and simple theft-robbery. You cant blame that one on your installer Mark Langlois. It will be interesting to read who you do blame it on.
You just claimed your customers get what they pay for. It doesnt look that way unless you consider getting ripped off as something they paid for. You stated you strive to make all you customers happy. These people are not happy if they are happy do you think they would have used such strong language against you in a public forum?
$4700 on laminate and carpet, unfinished work, no return calls, need I say more? Stay away from Mark Langlois his flooring guy, he is just as bad if not worse than Danny Batterbee.

Unfortunately, I have had the same HORRIBLE experience with this company. I waited 2 months for the flooring to be delivered after paying over $7000. Excuses began to pile up and NO wood flooring as promised.
1 year later I still dont have the wood flooring and this one man shop still preys on people paying him upfront for the perfect flooring and then keeping their hard earned money knowing there's not much they will do. It is difficult to see this happen, but dishonest business persons will do what they have to do in bad economic conditions. Pay a little more and be guaranteed to get your wood flooring.
If you still dont believe me, please go down to Orango County Courthouse and look up lawsuits on this company and you will find several where he has lost.
PLEASE DONT BECOME A VICTIM OF THIS COMPANY. THERE ARE MANY, MANY MORE REPUTABLE COMPANIES OUT THERE WILLING TO WORK HARD FOR YOU, THE CUSTOMER.

The law is Personal property is that which is not real estate. However, fixtures are real estate because they are not personal property; they are affixed to the land, to the house, which means fixtures stay with the house.
The house you purchased three years ago is still in foreclosure I suggest you replace everything you planed on illegally selling. Its too late for the one you lost and stripped some time ago. That will more than likely come back to haunt you, but I doubt you will be able to afford replacing the items you looted in your Waterford Lakes home, considering you cant afford to pay back the Expositos. Keep in mind you were even selling the A/C unit and if you can pull it, you can take it!!
The FBI has set up the Mortgage Fraud Task Force. People are getting arrested for doing what you did on the local level as well. You did it twice and left evidence of both crimes. Most people used to get away with it but home owner associations like yours are getting pissed because you are bringing the value of their homes down along with the one you were formally purchasing from the bank. So more and more people like you are getting arrested for it.
The following items are assets, fixtures that should not be removed from a home that is in foreclosure:
Cabinets and counter tops
Appliances such as stoves, built-in microwaves, dishwashers, etc.
Furnaces and air conditioning units
Plumbing and copper pipes
Romex or other electrical wiring
Light fixtures and ceiling fans
Doors and hardware
Flooring, ceilings and walls
Windows and vents
Medicine cabinets, sinks, tubs, toilets and showers
Sink drains and faucets
Built-in shelving / bookcases
Landscaping, fencing, built-in pools and spas
Assets Home Owners Can Remove from Foreclosed Homes
Here are items a home owner can remove without fearing prosecution:
All personal items brought into the home by the owner such as furniture, clothing and common household items such as dishes, pans and silverware
Mirrors
Personal artwork and photographs from walls
Stationary lamps
Pets and pet-related items such as dog houses, aquariums, bird cages
Easily removable window coverings such as drapes or curtains
Refrigerators, televisions, computers and stereo equipment
Throw and area rugs
Indoor plants
Portable fans and heaters
I hope this clears up any confusion you are pretending to have about the items in your foreclosed ex homes. You did not own any of the items you listed and sold.
You say mark hasnt worked for you in a long time. In my opinion a long time is something that is measured in years not in weeks.

Wow what a
great warranty and product!! Danny you
are the man hooking people up with this great deal.
But wait,
lets take a closer look.
This is
Soni Interiors (rug king.com) discontinued product. They discontinued it and
sold it of cheap because it is an inferior product. It scratches so easy that
you cant live on it without it looking really bad in no time at all.
http://soniinteriors.com/discontinued/piano-soni-12mm/
There
is no 30 year warranty. You are deliberately lying to people again! I called Rug King I spoke to Mr Soni on the phone. He does
not offer a 30 year warranty on any of his products. He also doesnt have the
testicular fortitude to post his warranty online so there is no confusion. That
can be viewed hear.
He did verbally
claim a 10 year warranty on non discontinued products. I dont think I am
finished with him yet. He is helping you screw people.
So Danny
how did court go for you again?
