Hmmm, I'm considering buying another mattress set from them but now after reading all the bad reviews on delivery, memories of my own bad experiences flood back.
First thing I notice on the five star reviews is that those people have written very few reviews and that makes me wonder if they're trying to stuff the reviews.
The Macon store is clean, bright and well staffed. Maybe that's the problem. Maybe the sales people work on commission and hop from customer to customer.
The guy who helped me was nice enough and when I said I wanted a mattress set for the spare bedroom pointed me NOT to the most expensive sets but the ones online I was thinking of buying anyway. He pushed the mattress cover on me that is soft but waterproof and prevents stains from getting on it. It's like 60 bucks. "Why would you NOT want to get this?" Well, looking back a good reason to NOT get it is that fact that they're 20 to 30 bucks around town or online.
So, I was thinking about living room furniture, kind of liked what they had but mentioned I should measure first. Time for you to go. He was ready for me to get gone! Two sentences would have sold me on it and rather than just a mattress, it would have been that plus a whole living room suite.
I asked if I could have it delivered on Wed which happened to be the next day. I didn't, per se, ask for next day delivery. Sure, sure, sure. When he got my name and the deal sealed, yep, he was ready for me to walk out that door.
I then said I'd like a time sometime in the afternoon. Even ATT, one of the worst companies Iv'e ever had to deal with gives you an option for repair/installs. This guy says to me that"delivery starts at 7:00 a.m. and ends at 10:00 p.m. It's a long day."
I leave, not very happy about it and the more I think about it, kind of getting mad. From what he told me, I'd need to get up at 6:30 a.m. to be ready for a delivery possibly at 7:00 a.m. but wait around until 10:00 p.m. I called their 800 number to cancel this order because I wasn't going to do that. She said it's because you asked for "next day delivery." She said that they could now narrow it down to around 2:00 p.m. the next day. Fine. I accept that.
They miss that time, they call to say they'll be here around 4:00 p.m., miss that time and get here around 5:00 p.m. I thought the driver was supposed to call and say we'll be there in a few minutes or something. I look out to see a truck unloading stuff.
I try to be helpful, open the screen door which is on a piston and position it fully open. The guy carrying it is dead tired I can see. He hits the screen door forcing it to pop out of its retainer. No problem I think. He then puts it in the spare bedroom and leaves.
I then discovered that the bracket is damaged holding the piston in place. They call to see if i got it, yes but damage to the door. They submit a claim. Should be the end of the story but they drop the ball. 10 days later I email the woman again about this claim. Oh, it got lost some how. then they offer me $40 bucks to make this go away. Piston wasn't attached and had scratched the door. Granted, they were both old and I can replace/repair what was done but it's rather insulting to say, "here, we offer you $40 bucks."
That's enough for the piston or more. touch up on the door will be a little time consuming but I'm tired of spending time on the phone and writing emails.
I buy the thing with 24 months zero interest. I was smart enough to put it on auto pay so I wouldn't accidentally miss a payment and they may have had some gotcha clause way down in the fine print.
Oh, mattress sleeps fine. I have little faith in that ten-year warranty that comes with it but it's the delivery that ruins this store.
Now, the store is just a show room. You can't buy something and take it home. Maybe you can go to a warehouse somewhere and avoid the delivery fees but I kind of think that's part of their business model. No one should be told after they signed on the dotted line delivery starts at 7 am and ends at 10 pm. read more
