Will never be shopping with Ashley Furniture again!

Bought a set back in 9/20/21. The bench for the set was delayed "due to Covid" multiple times. My original delay date was February 2022, then end of March 2022, and then I was told July 2022 until I finally said "No, I want to return the set at this point." Now, they want to deliver the bench this Saturday.
I can no longer return the furniture that was already delivered because it's "been in the house for months, the company has no control over the delays, and it was my 'choice' to keep waiting for the furniture." The best they can do is return the $170 bench I never recieved.
The set should have never been offered to be delivered incomplete if the company knew they wouldn't have any accurate timeline. Instead, they drug out these delays and are throwing "company policy" in my face. It's unprofessional to throw "company policy" in a customers face when these delays were blamed on a pandemic issuse.
How is this the customers fault? I gave this company the benefit of the doubt and got scammed by "company policy". What's your "company policy" on Covid delays? How is it the customers fault to keep waiting for a piece that they are told would be deliverers within 3 months and then got pushed out AN ENTIRE YEAR "due to Covid"? If the company was unsure of delays, that should have been specified before having a customer accept an incomplete set. But it's the customers fault for accepting the incomplete set and it's the customers fault for also for Covid delays, right?
Never again! Using a pandemic against a customer is unprofessiona, tasteless, and absolutely foul business! The only good experience of this entire thing was dealing with the sales associate, Calvin. He was a very decent guy and did his job well. read more
