Run Away! Do not Enter!
This place is a complete scam and nightmare!
My family decided that they wanted to replace a couple of bedrooms, including my parents mattresses and went in to take a look. They were greeted and helped by Mike, a nice gentleman and very knowledgeable - I will say throughout this ordeal he is the only highlight. When he asked why should he buy them from there and not The Bay (as I was insisting) - he said that it is a family owned and operated company, and that is why we should stay, to be treated like family. My father bought 2 sets of mattresses and was on his way.
After the mattresses were delivered my parents slept a few nights and realized that he mattresses were convexing in the middle, that is there was material literally bunching up... concave we could understand, - not excuse- but understand, but this was ridiculous. we called Mike and he told us that they would send an inspector - my parents at this point were on week 2 or being very uncomfortable in their own bed. when the inspector came, she looked at the mattresses and said that it was "unfortunate" that we "didn't buy them from The Bay" because "these people won't do anything about it"... my parents were stunned. She also said that it seems like most likely the
top part of the mattress was ripped away from the rest of the mattress during delivery, but we should play the game of having all of our ducks in a row and get a new frame with a cross bar down the middle.
I called Mike, and Mike told me that they have to receive the report from the inspector, but maybe my parents needed a crossbeam going down the centre of the bed. I thought that was odd... had the bed been Concave I could understand, but ok, lets try this. Mike suggested we wait for the report from the inspector... well, another 10 days went by, and finally they had had enough. I went to the store with my father, to pick up the new bed frame, and I inquired as to why it would bunch and not sag...
Mike suggested I speak to their manager, Susan Kent. WOW... RUDE, Rude, Rude! I tried to get an explanation for the bunching, she told me it was the frame... (for bunching? Concave I could understand.. Convex - not so much). She was completely dismissive and at one point was yelling at me. I have never been so ill treated, or dismissed in any store in my life. I even asked her to prove me wrong about how useless she is at her job.. actually do it - and she started talking smack back. At that point the other sales people were trying to talk to her, again she was rude and dismissive to them - they seemed afraid of her. One of them told me to forget her, and to talk to "Neil", so I asked her who her manager was, of course, her reply was she was the manager, I then asked if she also the proprietor, she hesitantly admitted no... so I said, ok, please give me your managers name and number... she gave me a first name only. When I asked her for his full name and number, she walked away.. so I started calling after her, saying, that there is this invention, called the internet... it wouldn't be hard to find.My father very smartly pointed out that this is the best she could do in life, and not to bother, so we didn't.
I called Neil. What a waste that was. He excused her behaviour because they have been dealing with a lot of upset customers (go figure), and that she has been with the company for many, many, years, and she is just really irritated and frustrated with the manufacturer right now... He passed me off to the manufacturer, of which I didn't bother, Obviously this is the family experience to AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
We returned home, set up our new frame and went to The Bay, purchased 2 new sets and have been treated truly like our family is, warm, and welcoming! read more
