We purchased our couch from Ashley on November 26th. Before going into the store, I called multiple locations asking if they had the couch we wanted to purchase on their floor so that we could see it in person first. No locations did but we really wanted this couch. At the time the website was running a promotion with a spinner to receive a discount. We won a 10% off. When I called, I made sure to ask that they would honor it and they said yes. We then went into the Kennesaw location to purchase the couch the gentleman we worked with was helpful, but of course stated that the 10% would not be honored with the couch we selected. I explained that we had already spoken to someone that said it would. He then spoke with his manager and they offered us the 10% if we purchased the protection plan. We did so because it was a 5-year plan. When we completed the purchase our delivery date was for December 17th, which of course felt like forever. The following weekend we moved into our new home and realized that we wanted to change the layout of the couch so that the chaise was on the other side (we didn't measure prior and that was on us). I called immediately and spoke with a Felicia. She changed the layout and informed me that there would not be a delivery date change. A couple days later she called to let me know that in fact the day would be changed and that she was so sorry. It was changed to the 24th, yes Christmas Eve. They claim that they only deliver to our area (Cartersville) twice a week Tues/Fri but that Friday of the week of the 17th wasn't available. At this point I was of course upset but being that I was a teacher on break it was fine and I would be home. Christmas eve comes and they bring us the couch.... In TWO DIFFERENT COLORS. So, Felicia changed the layout of the couch AND the color!!! We could not do anything at the point because of the holiday. Mind you we also did not UNWRAP the couch because we did not want to get charged for it, so we had only a chaise to sit on over the holiday. On December 26th my boyfriend and I went to the Kennesaw location and spoke with Fred, the manager. At first, he was not very apologetic, and we were very frustrated being that it was our first Christmas in our new home. By the end we did get some money back and he explained that we could use the mis-matched couch as it would be another wait for our correct one. So, we went home and unwrapped the couch to use for 3 more weeks. Our new date for the correct couch was now on January 14th. Now we are going on months without our couch!!! Well January 14th comes, and our time frame was from 4-7pm. By 6 pm I knew it was not coming and that's when we received a call from dispatch letting us know that the truck with our couch broke down and that to call the store to figure out your new date. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? (Mind you I am not longer on break and we had to take off from work to wait on the couch.) After multiple phone calls to the store, dispatch and the warehouse we got a new date for Friday the 17th. I BEGGED THEM to do 4-7pm so that we did not have to take a day off from work again and they claimed that it could not be a definite due to the "route". On Thursday we get our confirmation for 8-12pm OF COURSE. So, my boyfriend had to take off another day of work (second one that week). Well on Friday by 11am no one had arrived or let me know that they were in route. We called dispatch and she said that they were coming to us next. By 2pm I receive a call that the truck had mechanical issues and it's not going till 4pm!!! MORE TRUCK ISSUES??? They finally arrive around 4, which I was home from work so boyfriend would NOT have had to take another day off to wait for them to NOT SHOW UP. Overall, this was an absolute nightmare. The store, dispatch and warehouse all LACK communication and costumer service. I even reached back out to the manager on Friday to give him an update and he told the receptionist to let me know he was busy, and he couldn't talk. How do you run a business like this???? Throughout this whole ordeal no one had seemed to care that they MESSED UP. If we did not go to the store the day after Christmas, we wouldn't have even got the small amount of money we got back, which I mind you my boyfriend would have made more going to work those two days!!!!! I reached out more times than I could count to try and figure out this situation and each time I was told I would get a call back and never a solution. They just brush you off after they get your money. No wonder they say NO REFUNDS. DO NOT EVEN BOTHER WITH THIS COMPANY. I am contacting corporate as well and we will see if they are anything like the store, warehouse and dispatch. read more
