We ordered a gas stove on 5/27/19 from Ashley Homestore/Appliance Mart in Greenfield. Originally, the stove was set to be delivered on 6/1/19. After further discussion, we were informed that the was not in stock at their location but was promised that he (sales associate) would be able to get us the stove. And with this, it was decided that the delivery date would be pushed to today, 6/15/19. About week after making the purchase, we had not heard anything from the sales associate, and I decided to call to confirm the delivery date. According to the sales associate, which was the same person that we purchased the stove from, stated that he would ask the buyer because they were there and that he would email me. What I received in the email was the owner's manual for specifications for installation. I never asked for that and just wanted to confirm the delivery date because we needed to have a gas valve installed prior to delivery.
On 6/12/19, I received an email from Appliance Mart confirming the delivery date for 6/15/19. Within this email, there was a link to confirm the delivery, which I had done. There is also a link for tracking your delivery order. According to this link, we were first stop for delivery, but after a few hours and no delivery, we checked this link again and it stated that the delivery guys were at their second stop and the status for ours said on the way. After about an hour later, we checked it once more and it had showed they were on their 3rd stop, but this time our status read "unable to start". At this point, my husband called the 800# and was awaiting a call back. With no call back after an hour or so, I contacted the store for further information. After a few phone calls to the manager and customer service with no call back, I contacted another location and was transferred to customer care and spoke with a care manager and was informed that I would be receiving a call from the purchasing manager on Monday.
Several hours later, the sales associate that sold us the stove contacted us back. The solution was either 1)take $75 off the purchase and wait 4 more weeks for the stove or 2)exchange that stove for a smaller and cheaper stove. To me this was a slap in the face and I was still mad that no one, including the managers, at this location had called me back with an explanation of how this had happened. A few hours later, the same sales associate called back and stated that he was given 2 other options for us. 1)take $100 off and wait 4 weeks or 2)buy the cheaper, smaller stove and get a $200 gift card for a future use. Really... Why would I want to make another purchase there if I can't even get the first purchase. The so-called manager, which he claimed to be the area manager for Appliance Mart still could not give me an explanation, but he did make sure that to state, "you're not happy and this reason why this is happening". Now it's my fault that his sales associate didn't email me back to confirm the delivery date, the delivery system sent us an email, and that there WAS NOT ANY COMMUNICATION from that store for our purchase. Once again, I had to contact another location to retrieve information on who to contact regard this so-called area manager. Waiting for a call back. Honestly, if we would have never called inquiring about the delivery... they would probably not have called us. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! read more
