I'm so glad I waited to leave a review. I have never ever EVER been so dissatisfied with a company as I am with Ashley Furniture. To start, I was moving from California to Missouri, I needed to start over with new furniture. Knowing this I figured I would shop for the majority of it at Ashley Furniture. I placed my First order over the phone for a king canopy bed frame, a dresser, two nightstands and a couch. Over 4k worth of product. The salesman, AUSTIN, was kind and polite and walked me through the process without an issues. My SCHEDULED delivery date was around the beginning of June (I cant remember the exact date since it has changed so many times since) which I was fine with since I wasn't due to be in MO until the 27th of May. First note: Austin promised to send me my paperwork via email later that day, Never did receive that. Moving on, after moving in, around the beginning of June, I physically went into the store to order a mattress, asked to speak with my same sales person since he had already helped me once. Second note: this is a typical sales method, I am aware of it, however, I specifically asked to not be shown to memory foam mattresses as I don't like them. Of course, the first one he took me to was a memory foam mattress. In all fairness, I do love this bed and its very comfortable. When I left I had purchased a king mattress, 2 box springs, a REQUIRED mattress protector (which I was told could be shipped to me since they didnt have it in stock (turns out that was a lie, they dont ship that and I had to come in and pick it up in person)), and a table with 6 chairs. All with promises of fast delivery, some time that week because "they prioritize mattresses". Third note: Covid has been a problem since FEBRUARY. This is NOT new. He should be aware their manufacturers are shut down. So this turned out to be a blatant LIE. (Later when I called and spoke to a manager she told me all her sales people are aware of delivery delays and are informing all the customers of this. LIE, clearly)
NOW my real problems start.
I don't receive my first order on the scheduled date. Customer Service calls and pushes my order out by 2 weeks. Ok fine. Then, they call and push both orders again. And again. Around the middle of June they tell me my couch is back ordered until JULY 22ND. I cancel the couch and buy in store at big lots instead. My table and chair and my mattress and box spring finally arrive on the 23rd of June after several reschedules. Cool, so now all I am waiting on is my bedroom set. The one I ordered on May 11th. I have been quoted 6/26, 7/2, and 7/10 for the delivery. Forth note: during one of these calls I asked the CS rep what can be done to get my items and she said " honestly if you don't get them you can just cancel your order, go in the store and purchase something that is in stock". Mind you, they don't keep anything in stock as a manager told me on a separate phone call. On the 9th a Customer Service person calls me and tells me my items will be delivered the next day, all except the bed rails and the canopy rails. Those are on back order until AUG 6th. I'm pissed but fine, just deliver my stuff. Next day comes and my delivery window is missed so I call Customer Service back and they tell me there's no delivery scheduled for me as my order is still on back order. I'M PISSED. So I call the store. I refuse to speak to my sales person as he has been absolutely NO help. I speak with KEVIN and he tells me their system shows NONE OF MY ITEMS ARE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE 8TH OF AUGUST. AN ORDER I PLACED ON MAY 11TH. He said he would escalate this for me as I made my displeasure very apparent. He PROMISED he would get back to me Saturday night/ Sunday morning. It is now Tuesday 7/14 and I have yet to receive any calls from anyone. So I attempted to call the store and he's off today. Tomorrow when he is back I will be calling AGAIN. Last note: I had made several attempts to reach out to my sales person, management at the location and Customer Service to no avail. No help is ever provided, just empty promises. I'm one more empty promise, one more reschedule and one more mishap away from reaching out to the BBB. Also note, I have not once asked for compensation, a refund for delivery fees, a discount, nothing. I just want the product I paid for. I WILL NEVER EVER EVER SHOP HERE AGAIN. EVER!!!!!
I know Covid is a problem, but FU** you cant blame terrible customer service on Covid. read more
