Never shop at Sleep Number!! Would give zero stars if I could!
**Long post but if you are considering shopping there, please read and it will save you a major headache**
***This is in regards to the sleep number in Oakridge mall but also to Sleep Number as a whole***
I went into sleep number to look at possibly buying a bed in December. At the end of our visit, we decided it wasn't financially possible at the time and instead decided to purchase two pillows. The salesman was extremely pushy and did not really listen to anything I said about why it's not a good time for me to make this commitment, which really left a bad taste in my mouth. Once he found out we were not going to buy a bed, his whole demeanor changed and he started acting like we were wasting his time. I could already tell they only cared about sales and not about customer service. But regardless, I purchased two pillows that would be shipped to me.
Fast forward a few weeks and we receive the pillows, only they are the wrong size. I told told the salesman multiple times I had a full size bed but he ordered me two king pillows that would not fit and cost way more money. Once we received the pillows, I went back in for an exchange for the correct size. There were 3 people working there, all of which, we're just sitting around and for the most part ignored me when I walked in. The same salesman I interacted with before helped me with this but was not happy to see I wanted to do an exchange but him and the manager grumbled through and did it anyways.
Fast forward two more weeks and I yet again get the wrong pillows! This is now the second time the same salesman messed up my order. I was so over it at this point and I just wanted my money back.
So I went back in yesterday and spoke with a different sales person to find out that they do not do returns on bedding and all she could do is an exchange. I was never once told this before purchasing the pillows. Only after I swiped my credit card and a receipt printed out, on the second page, there was a disclaimer saying I can't return them. Since this information was kept from me until I made the purchase, this is a clear lie of omission. The salesperson gave me a customer service number to call. So I go home and wait on the line for roughly 35 minutes until a woman answers. I tell her that they messed up twice, I never once used the pillows, I was never told they could not be returned, and that I want my money back. She then told me she couldn't do anything about it unless I wanted to do an exchange. She essentially said that their two mistakes would just be something I have to deal with. I told her to give me someone above her to speak to. She then put me on hold and 5 minutes later came back and told me she talked to them and they won't do it.
At this point, I'm pretty upset because these were their mistakes!! This is awful customer service and they are showing their true colors. I told her that is unacceptable, I need to talk to them directly, and I do not appreciate them being so dismissive of me. She then said that she would transfer me. She transferred me to a number that would never be answered and all I could hear was static. After waiting on the line for roughly another 45 minutes (1 hour and 16 minutes later), the call ended.
They never had any intention of actually listening to me, helping me, or correcting their mistake.
I learned that all they care about is the sale! I went back into the store after this and yet again the employees are just sitting around in the back of the store. I had to walk up to them and get their attention . I was happy to see that the manager was there. He did not get up from sitting as I proceeded to tell him everything that happened. However, all he said was nope I'm not going to do a return for you, it's or policy. I told him that it was them who messed up twice and that should not be on me! He told me I already got my one free exchange and he won't do anything else for me (even though both the salesperson and the customer service woman both said they could). Notice how he said won't and not can't. He absolutely had the power to do this for me but chose not to. I told him that the reason I came in here was to buy a mattress and a base costing roughly $7,000 but after seeing how they treat their customers, I will never do business here. They lost out of a much larger sale and a potentially for-life customer over $200. They do not care about you or what you want as long as they can make a sale. They willl treat you very well but once your card is swiped, they will treat you like trash.
I really hope no one else ever shops here. I wish I could say it was one person but every single person I interacted with (both in the store and on the phone) never had any intention of actually helping me out.
I hope I can stop just one person from ever shopping there. read more
