Well I have had the most disturbing experience yesterday and today! I had purchased a new sewing chair from Sewing World of Weatherford just before Thanksgiving. We put the chair together and I sewed with it for a day. The base will not fit under my sewing table therefore making me too far away from the sewing machine, hurting my back and leg. I called the next day, Saturday, to tell them I could not use the chair and I was returning it, and was told it would be Tuesday before a check could be issued, and even though I had paid cash I would accept the check. The chair was disassembled and put back in it's original boxes. Yesterday I got a call from one of the guys that work at the store telling me that the owner would not give me my money back on the chair, only a store credit. I was flabbergasted to say the least, especially since they had already told me otherwise. He suggested I talk to the owner, that after all he was just an employee. I was put through to Randy Luster today. After explaining to him that the chair would not work for me, that I had paid cash for it, and would like to return it for a cash refund, he said "the best I can do is a store credit, since that chair was a special order." I explained to him that it was not a special order, it was in store stock. Was told that didn't make any difference it was still a special order item.... Are YOU making any better sense of this then me??? I thought not!!! All I know is I need a chair not $300.00 worth of thread, and needles! He would however allow me to add $210.00 to what I had already spent to order a better chair, but would not price it the same as another store I had called that was selling the same chair for $329.00. I brought the chair back home and will try to either raise my table, which is on castors....or taking parts off the chair to try and make it work.....
We have done business with this man's parents!! Purchased numerous machines from Sewing World, over the years, but will darken their door no more! I would sure advise anyone looking to buy a sewing machine or sewing furniture or anything else THEY sell to shop elsewhere. If you deal with one of their stores and there are several, you deal with Randy Luster, and if everything goes in their favor you might be OK... heaven forbid if something doesn't work for you!! I will forever ask myself, why I didn't to to the Berry Patch on Hulen to begin with, or order on line??? I guess I thought dealing with Randy would be like dealing with his parents.....WRONG!!
FEEL FREE to SHARE this! I would hate for someone else who is contemplating giving hundreds or thousands of dollars for a product that might not work satisfactory for them to end up stuck with something they cannot use, because ALL you can hope to get if returned is "store credit" read more
