Paid for travertine, got filler

[Debby]

Retail price of the travertine in our area (Cleveland, OH) was $11.99 but because we were purchasing so much, we paid $8.99 from TheTileShop. Once installed it became obvious that not only was the filler applied ALOT, but it was done very carelessly with long lines and blotchy areas all over it. Also, there are grey and rust areas. Would $11.99 indicate a third grade? Floor looks terrible!

Hiya.
What is the average price elsewhere for this kind of Travertine?
The price before discount seems way too cheap to me and would have rang alarm bells.

$11.99 is about £7.50, and that is ridiculously cheap. For a decent quality stone you should be paying about 4 times that amount.

Thats cheap!!:yikes:
Id expect a cheap but reasonable quality to be around £20 per meter for a 300x300mm.
