Any investors have trouble with RTA cabinet companies online?

I know there must be plenty of real estate flippers in the Birmingham AL area.

I want to warn you that there is a danger in ordering Kitchen Cabinets online as we have

just been ripped off by such a business.  http://www.cabinetmania.com/

I have ordered online RTA cabinets many times before with other projects in Alabama, and 

Florida. The owner of this online 'website' is a man named Frank LaMark (google Frank LaMark scam or fraud) you will find many others who have been scammed by him also. Please avoid ordering from him as he won't ship the cabinets (or send broken cabinets).. then insult you with a fake refund that goes NSF. We were stupid to pay him through e-check and have no credit card protection.  I have much other details about this if anyone needs to see it ..... Hope you all have a nice day/evening

I bought cabinets from them in Munster, Indiana. They buy "close outs" from other dealers, but they don't tell you until they have your money. They sent me cabinets that were in different boxes, different construction, door sizes were off a half an inch, a pinstripe was a different color, they couldn't fulfill the order with the cabinets I ordered so they gave me different cabinets and said that they would work? Con artists .

    Habit for Humanity ReStore or Southeastern Salvage in Birmingham has the same products you're ordering online for a similar cost if you are trying to save money. Have your contractors buy things local like that. If it's a 2nd I'd only recommend getting carpet out of Georgia. Otherwise these 2 stores locally have everything else that is a 2nd or overstock for a manufacturer.

    Donald H, 

    Did you ever get your money refunded, or the proper cabinets replaced?
