So far, delivery, therefore this company is at zero stars. (Read on for reasons we've updated the review to 2 stars.) We ordered a couch from the Ancaster location and we're told delivery would be the Friday (2 days away). We got a call from London saying it would arrive between 3:15 and 5:15 on the Friday. A couple hours later, we got a call from the sales guy, Michael Bilenki, saying it wasn't going to be delivered for another 2 weeks or so. Disappointed, as we will both be back at work and will have to miss work for the delivery. At 5:30 pm Friday, we get a call saying the truck had mechanical issues, but the couch would be delivered in about 2 hours. Instead of using the day to move most of our belongings out of the way to allow for the couch to fit in, we rushed to do so, cancelling our plans in the process. In order to fit the new couch in, the old couch had to be removed. So outside it went and still is. Unfortunately, it rained the whole time. At 8 pm, we called and they assured us that they were completing order 11, and we were next, and the delivery people were going to work late to have it delivered. Shortly before 11, we got a call telling us that is was not going to be delivered and will call tomorrow for a reschedule.Saturday morning, a call to delivery department, transferred through to many people, and told that it would come on the 4th.... Requested to be put through to someone who could get stuff done because that is unacceptable. We have a very wet couch and our house is in disarray and we have to cancel our new year's eve party. We are waiting to hear back from a manager, but am guessing we will have to call them back and will get nowhere. How can we even believe them when they say it will come on Tuesday, another day we have to sit around and wait.?! Should have read the reviews first as it seems that Tepperman's is a very untrustworthy company. Will update and increase rating if Tepperman's cares to make this better.
Update: The manager called us back, offering us the next Wednesday including set-up. After once again explaining the whole situation above, he arranged the delivery today but without set-up. They also waived delivery/set-up fee (I guess so!). It showed up before 1pm. The delivery guys weren't even going to bring the pieces upstairs, but we ensured they did. Hubby brought them in the house and picked up a bag of screws dropped in my parking space that would have likely punctured our tire.
In summary, the couch is fantastic, the store and experience at the store was fantastic (thank you, Michael Bilenki), and they did attempt at rectifying the situation, hence the generous amended 2-star rating. But, we will never purchase another thing from the company again (And we're in the market to update several rooms, as are several of our friends.). This experience could have been way better. read more
