Animal shelter scammed on shed , scrambling to find new option

But this week, the rescue’s dream of a new, larger facility was put on hold after a shed they purchased online was stopped by the owner. The rescue, located in Union County, South Carolina, purchased a 12-foot by 12-foot metal shed online for $9,500. They had it partially assembled when the owner of the shed contacted them and asked them to turn around. The owner, who was not identified, claimed the shed was being used for a different purpose than what was initially agreed upon. The rescue’s director, Sarah Jones, said the shed was intended to be used as a kennel for the animals.

Lowery’s excitement quickly turned to disappointment when she discovered the shed was not what she expected. The shed was smaller than advertised, only 320 square feet. The seller had also failed to disclose that the shed was built on a foundation, which was not mentioned in the Facebook Marketplace listing. The shed was also missing a door and a window. The seller had also failed to disclose that the shed was built on a foundation. The seller had also failed to disclose that the Lowery had to pay for the foundation.

The shed’s original dealer, who wished to remain anonymous, shared their perspective on the manufacturer’s responsibility and the importance of proper documentation. The dealer explained that the manufacturer should have provided a clear and concise warranty, outlining the terms and conditions of the shed’s coverage. A comprehensive warranty would have addressed potential issues like the shed’s frame, roof, and siding, and provided clear instructions on how to handle any problems. The dealer also emphasized the significance of proper documentation, including the purchase receipt, delivery confirmation, and any other relevant paperwork. This documentation serves as a crucial record of the transaction, providing evidence of the shed’s ownership and purchase date.
