I actually started to write a review earlier today but decided, against my better judgment, to wait and give the store the opportunity to make things right despite their prior scathing reviews. However, after wasting over 5 hours on my day off trying to get them to do what any retail establishment that claims to "provide a seamless end-to-end customer experience" should be able to do with ease but FAILED at MISERABLY, I realized they must have actually earned every single one of them. Today they went above and beyond to earn another one from me. Not only did they lack the most basic customer service capabilities (having access to an acting manager when the store manager is unavailable, the ability to communicate between departments and the inability to contact delivery drivers to name a few), but there seems to be no effective escalation process in place to deal with serious customer complaints and problems requiring immediate attention. Ummmmm.... I don't care how amazing or technologically advanced your product is if you can't effectively deal with customer issues and are completely incompetent at service recovery. If there is potential for problems (which there always is in retail-that's common sense), then you had better have a system in place to handle them effectively and QUICKLY. My husband and I are long-time Sleep Number customers. We finally came to the decision that it was time to purchase a new mattress-we didn't even hesitate-we knew we wanted a new, improved, luxurious, adjustable model from Sleep Number. We spent over 2 hours with a salesman named Bulent and ended up spending $8200+. Throughout the long process of trying out the beds and listening to the "spiels" on their technology and superiority over other mattresses, I SPECIFICALLY asked about the possibility of having any problem with having an adjustable bed with our current bed frame from Restoration Hardware. We were told VERY clearly that there would be NO PROBLEM. Imagine our surprise when the delivery guys showed up today, looked at our bed frame and informed my husband that the adjustable base would not work on our bed and that some modifications would have to be made to the bed to make it compatible. My husband explained that we were told there would be no problems with our frame and that even if we wanted to make the modifications, he couldn't do them himself because he injured his rotator cuff this past week . He called to inform me of the situation and that he had to reject the delivery. I was LIVID-especially after I had specifically asked about this kind of problem to make sure that it WOULDN'T happen. I immediately called the store from my car and headed in their direction. I spoke to Jake, who was immediately friendly, helpful, and seemed ready to take on my issue. He said all the right things. I arrived at the store, and continued my conversation with Jake. He went over measurements, details, etc. He assured me that he was pretty sure that they could figure out a solution to the problem, whatever it was. He said that he would try to find out exactly what happened and what the issues were from the delivery guys, but that he didn't have the ability to contact them directly and would have to call customer service. WHAT??? You sold me a $7500 bed, and you can't communicate with the delivery guys who have it in their possession??? That was the beginning of the end. I was told that the store manager was not available as she was at a conference. When I asked if there was not an "acting" manager available or someone in a position of authority, he said "Based on seniority, I guess it would be me." Ummmm, you guess? Is there not a formal escalation process? I guess YELP only allows so many characters, so let me tell you how this ended- I spent the next several hours on the phone and went through 4 people and STILL was not provided with an acceptable solution. Jake told me when I called back he couldn't do anything-that I needed to call the Home Delivery Dept. He did NOT follow through on what he said he would do when I was in the store. We ended up RUINING our $3000+ RH bed at Sleep Number's recommendation, can't use our old bed with it now and we are CANCELLING our entire purchase because they said they could not deliver today-that the drivers were done for the day-and they can not deliver tomorrow. Their schedule is full for the rest of the week. So much for a "seamless process" and quality customer service! Maybe the manager will care when she returns from the conference (I'm guessing it's on customer service?) and sees an $8200 return. I will be telling everyone I know about this one. Please feel free to message me for more details-there is plenty more to be shared. read more
