We never referred to an "invisible" seam in any of our Revdex.com claims or responses. This type of response is typical of the treatment received from [redacted] Service at Empire today.
We never requested an invisible seam or a guarantee of the seam to be invisible.
Our complaint focused on the flawed installation as stated by the Empire Today Inspector Mr. [redacted] Mr. [redacted] also stated the seam could have been done better.
Mr. [redacted] stated that re-opening the seam may or may not be successful since re-doing a seam can make a flawed seam worse. The chance of success is not 100%predictable according to Mr. [redacted]
Hence, we demand a new piece of carpet for the smaller section to be used to re-patch the seam using carpet from the same dye lot.
Please note: This [redacted] is a [redacted] forward by us in the interests of a successful mediation.
Empire Today has not made one [redacted] forward in the interests of a successful mediation.
We look to forward to Empire Today's response.
We are not at this time putting forward any of the additional complaints we have endured by Empire Today's treatment, and will not if and only if Empire Today accepts our request.
