Sometimes, when visiting a business for review you will have The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. This is one of those reviews.
THE GOOD: I believe this is the only Mattress Firm left in Hampton, for all the others closed down. Located in the location of the old Harpoon Larry's, this store is newly built, very bright and has a decent size showroom floor.
On this visit I was taking advantage of the 120 day review period of a mattress. I love this offer because you just can't go into a store, lay on a mattress and say "this is the one." Well, the mattress I had was too soft so I went back to get something a little firmer.
Mattress Firm a Lease to Own option through Progressive Leasing. I highly recommend paying it off in 90 days, if not, you'll pay three times the price.
The exchange went well, I upgraded to something new. Was charged a $99 delivery and cleaning fee of the old mattress. I didnt see that one coming, that would have been nice to known when I bought the first mattress.
THE UGLY (yea I know, I not going in order but this happen next) Later that day, got a phone call setting up delivery and pick-up Tuesday between 1230 and 2:30pm the next day. So I took off for a few hours to meet the delivery folks at my home. Well, they never showed up and I had to go back to work. Driver called me at 4:00pm and told me that they were on the way. I said, no one is there, I waited for you during the scheduled time and you did not show up. I ask if the driver could meet me at 5:00 pm when I got home. He said "No, people been running late all day, just like you and I have another drop off in Suffolk at 5:30pm." Imagine that, I was on time for my delivery, but because people before me where dragging their feet, I was sacrificed my delivery so they could get caught up. So. I agree to have them deliver Saturday between 3:00pm and 5:00pm. That really messed up my Saturday plans
THE BAD: I made a complaint to the store as to what happen, they waived the $99 delivery/clean up fee. They told me the drivers had been running about an hour and forty-five minutes late all day.
The drivers arrived on Saturday around 4:00pm. I really wanted to ask them if they were the same drivers who would not deliver but for some reason I did not. As the delivery guys came up to my door, I notice how tired and over worked they were - like they had been doing this all day. I ask how many more deliveries they had and they responded 5. They were very polite, professional and gave me the best service possible. They unwrapped my new mattress, pick up all trash and left with a warm thank you for my purchase. But I could not help to notice how tired these guys were and overworked - I really felt sorry for them. I really don't see how they could fell fit to drive that big truck. Also, I don't think I was delivered the right mattress.
I really wanted to write an ugly review in reference to the delivery, but I felt so bad for the delivery drivers that I just couldn't find it in my heart to do so. I notice Mattress Firm has a Red Carpet Delivery. Basically saying they strive to ensure you satisfaction. Well, I think when things go bad, the delivery drivers are on the bad end of the deal. Under paid and over worked if you ask me.
Mattress Firm really needs to do better at taking care of its employees. read more
