I am not someone who writes negative reviews, but I felt our experience had to be shared so people can make educated decisions before dealing with The Brick Burlington.
I will ABSOLUTELY NEVER buy from the Brick again. Our entire experience, from start to finish, has been a nightmare with the Burlington location, and has honestly tainted my view of ever wanting to deal with the Brick in general.
We came to buy a new mattress, automatic base, and accessories, all in spent around $6K. The list goes on and on for all the terrible customer service we encountered from start to finish. We were given a quote that we shopped around and came back because nobody could beat what The Brick had offered. We returned only to find out that our sales rep had forgotten to include the mattress bases in the quote so it would be at least a thousand dollars more. We didn't have time to go back to any of the other stores that day as it was too close to closing time, so we decided to adjust what we were buying, and give the sales rep the benefit of the doubt as he said he was new, and it was a mistake. He offered us a deal on some of the items, and we decided to still give him a chance - which was our mistake.
Then we were given misinformation at every step, we were given a delivery date that was inaccurate, so I booked off work to stay home for no reason, and when the delivery happened the guys knocked a picture frame off our wall and smashed the frame and glass all down the stairs - I had to clean it up.
Next, when we needed to exchange the mattress within the 180 Day Satisfaction Guarantee, we went to the store and were told nobody could help us, and we needed to come back to the store when our original sales rep was there. When we finally got in touch with our sales rep, he told us we needed to pay an extra $400 for the mattress (we were exchanging for the exact same mattress, just softer - and it was the same retail price as our original purchase). When we questioned him on this, he was extremely condescending and argued with us. He just kept saying "you don't understand how it works" and that we should "get it 'cause we are in sales", finally he said he would get back to us by end of day after he talked to his managers to see what they could do. We were fuming by the time we got off the phone.
With no surprise, we never heard back from him, and in fact he ignored our calls and left our texts on "read" with no responses when, after hours of waiting, we asked if he had any updates.
Finally, after waiting 3 hours, and approaching closing time for the store, we drove to the store to deal with this ourselves. We found that he hadn't talked to any managers, and was essentially ignoring us with no intention of calling us back.
The manager at the store had to come over and apologize to us (the sales rep never apologized), and miraculously she was able to offer us a workable solution - only after we had been so mistreated, ignored, and had to drive to the store ourselves to get any answers.
This behaviour is completely unacceptable! It is clear that they are only worried about closing an immediate sale, and cannot be bothered beyond that.
I have never experienced such rude, and consistently terrible customer service in my life.
I usually give people the benefit of the doubt, but there were far too many appalling experiences in this one transaction to warrant another chance. The Brick has lost any future business from us. read more
