This would be a zero if I could rate that low. Shaw sent out the wrong color carpet and had the nerve to say I typed in the wrong color code even though all the emails had the correct color. It was to be installed 3 days before I moved in. I am now moved in, with 2 rooms of only padding. All the furniture is piled in the dining room and other bedroom. Scott at the Topeka store has been very helpful in getting this fixed, but the pain of it is pretty bad.

They did 3 steps and did the pads for the others but no carpe...
