Shopping Experience from HELL!!!!!!!!
(this is really ZERO stars you have to put 1 to post)
I am writing to share my horrible shopping experience with Ashley Furniture Store.
In January 2019, my husband and I purchased $4,000 worth of furniture from the Ashley Furniture showroom in Fairfield, CA. At that time we were informed that a few items were on back order. We explained that we work multiple jobs and requested that everything be held for delivery all at the same time. Their salesperson assured us our request would not be an issue.
In March, 2019, we are notified, via text, that a delivery was scheduled for the very next day. Because a time was not provided, I called to inquire about the scheduled time. The representative was very rude and told me that upon signing the purchase contract we had agreed to be available all day anytime Ashley scheduled an appointment. I then demanded a supervisor, as this was unreasonable, but was told the supervisor was unavailable and would call me back. To date I have not heard from a supervisor.
The delivery we received was a sofa and vanity table (which was put together backward by their delivery person.) The next day we returned to the store to discuss the matter with the salesperson, who turned us over to customer service. The customer service representative pretty much ignored us so I requested a manager. We sat there in the store for over 45 minutes waiting for the manager, who refused to come and talk to us. After walking around I could hear the salesperson pleading with the manager to meet with us, but to no avail; I heard him say "get rid of them, I don't want to talk to them".
The manager finally came to speak to us, but was very rude and aggressive. We requested a discount for the inconvenience and was told no because our items were sale items. I continued to insist on a discount but was only offered a $100 gift card, redeemable on the next full value purchase.
Since March 2019, we've had deliveries twice a month up until July 20, 2019. To date, my vanity and dining room tables are still damaged; and according to the repair person who came out on May 17, 2019, both tables are not repairable and needed replacing. He also indicated that all 4 chairs needed to be cleaned or replaced as they too were soiled.
At the final delivery in July 2019, the driver arrived with only 1 dining room chair (instead of 4), which had a large black stain on it. He said he also had a replacement table for me, which was also damaged and discolored. I requested that the driver take pictures of the damaged table and dirty chairs for dispatch and was told not to "worry someone will be in touch". Today date, I have not heard from anyone and my issues have yet to be resolved!!
In the end, we fixed the vanity ourselves, our dining room table has yet to be replaced (as it has dried spray paint stains), our chairs are filthy, we have no kitchen table, as it was destroyed and taken away by their driver in July 2019.
We are furious!! We had to postpone our 10th wedding anniversary celebration dinner, as we had no dining room table; our children have no kitchen table because it has been over a month since our table was destroyed by their driver. We have yet to receive a credit for the kitchen table. The store as the Manager Perry and the Regional Manager Gary Donovan has been made it crystal clear with the empty promises; that customer satisfaction and resolution is not on their priority list. We had thanksgiving with no Kitchen table, refund or a decent dining table. We regret not going to RC Wiley's!! We are at our wits end with this company. I filed a claim with the Better Business Bureau I have reached out to The Department of Consumer Affairs and 7 on your side as well as seeking legal counsel.
