I would stay with your shop. Talk to them about your problems and let them have another crack at the wheels. Let them keep at the problem until you are satisfied. At your weight, you will always have issues with wheels. You should have someone local to build them for you.
As to myself, I prefer to build the wheels I use. Wheels are not rocket science. As long as you are using good quality components and you are getting the spoke tension even, the wheels should turn out pretty well.
