Todd Lachmann, the owner and sole employee of Classic Kitchens & Baths, fraudulently took my large deposit for an order to pay off his other debts without the intention of placing my order. Now I'm stuck without my product and money and Todd seems to have disappeared - he doesn't return phone calls and he's rarely at his store, even during posted business hours.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Todd Lachmann has a store front. Most of the suppliers of products in his showroom refuse to do business with him.in my case, he took an order for a Strasser bathroom vanity. Only later did I learn by contacting Strasser directly that Todd Lachmann had never placed my order.in fact, Strasser had stopped doing business with Todd Lachmann several months earlier - a fact that Todd knew all along.
Since I came to the realization that I was swindled, I've found other customers that were also cheated (thank you Internet), and I've been in contact with creditors who have tried to get their clients' money from Todd Lachmann unsuccessfully. This man is very slippery.
Todd Lachmann has a nice demeanor, which regrettably made me ignore tell tale signs that something was fishy:
- Why does Todd Lachmann not accept credit cards?
- Why does Todd Lachmann require 75% down (50% is standard)?
- Why does Todd Lachmann have a terrible Better Business Bureau (BBB) rating? Http://alaskaoregonwesternwashington. BBB.org/WWWRoot/Report. Aspx? Site=114&bbb=1296&firm=22001837
- Why is Todd Lachmann operating without a business license? Http://www.secstate. Wa. Gov/corps/search_results. Aspx? Search_type=simple&criteria=all&name_type=starts_with&name=&ubi=602003113
- Why is Todd Lachmann rarely around during business hours?
- Why are there so many similar stories about Classic Kitchens & Baths on the web?
If you are considering buying products from Todd Lachmann, don't.
If you are a supplier to Todd Lachmann, don't extend him any credit, ever.
