FALSE ADVERTISING!
I'll start by saying that on Black Friday 2016, my boyfriend and I did multiple 5 star reviews for this company on different review sites and we were very sincere about how we felt at the time. Brad talked us through our entire decision making process. He explained the financing options in detail and what we should do to avoid paying interest and still be able to get the mattress that I wanted. My boyfriend went with me to help me shop but the mattress was for me and it was my first time buying a new mattress off the floor. I had heard good things about the prices there and there was a black friday deal advertised(I still have the picture of the advertisement but it won't attach.) with the advertisement for a fitbit with the purchase of a specific queen sized pillow top set. It specifically advertised, "fitbit" and the picture is of the FitBit Charge. I really wanted a double sided pillow top because I wanted to be able to flip it eventually and get a longer lifetime out of it. I decided on the one in the advertisement though, because it was a good price and the fitbit was over a hundred dollar value in itself. I was going to give the fitbit to my roommate as a Christmas gift. She was really looking forward to it. I had to send my receipt in to claim the fitbit and when I got it in the mail, it was a knock of with Chinese writing on the label. I looked it up online and it is valued at $15. I called Brad(who originally was extremely caring and helpful and even gave my boyfriend and I both memory foam pillows for filling out reviews for the store the day I made my purchase) and he claimed that he never told me that it was a fitbit and argued that the advertisement didn't say that either, and that I should google the distributors name(Symbol) and call and get them to fix it. I called Symbol and left messages for days and got no response. Finally(after Christmas) I got a hold of them and they apologized and said that the retailer created their own false advertisement and that the distributor's Black Friday deal did not advertise or include a fitbit and that it was always supposed to be a knock off. They stated that the add that he put on his website was one that he created with the name, "FitBit" and a picture of one on it. I don't know who is lying, but all I got was a half ass apology from the distributor and their rep, the retailor never followed up or apologized, and everyone refused to fix it because they kept pointing fingers at each other. The rep even said that he warned Jax Mattress against false advertising in the future, but that there isn't anything else he or the distributor(Symbol)can do. I am pretty livid. Brad was great during the whole process and went above and beyond until I called him out, then he turned into a completely careless and dismissive salesman. The sale was made, so I guess no one really cares now. My roommate is still waiting on that FitBit for Christmas. read more
