I ordered a gas range from Appliance Connection and shipped by YF Logistics (I'm pretty certain…read morethey are the same entity). I was supposedly getting the "White glove" delivery service that included installation and removal of my old range. On the day they were supposed to deliver they called me and said the delivery would be around 8:00 pm! I said that would not be an appropriate time for such an involved delivery, being its dinner time, etc. They agreed to deliver it the next day. The driver shows up alone, with no helper to deliver a 400# range, he struggled getting off the truck and then could not get it off the shipping pallet by himself. So I offered assistance, together we were able to get it in the house and remove the old one. Initially he tried to give me some BS story why he couldn't hook up the gas line to the range but I insisted and he eventually completed the connection, though it appeared he barely knew what he was doing and it took a ridiculously long time (could have done it myself but wanted him to do it for warrantee purposes) Also, he did not peel off all the protective covering on the Stainless Steel surfaces, he didn't install the anti tip bracket or level the range, as he was supposed to, claiming he was "out of time" and had to leave. By that time I had enough and agreed he should go. There were no "White Gloves" or any gloves for that matter.

So given the raft of pretty terrible reviews here, I thought I'd relate my experience. I'm located…read morein Brooklyn and ordered a washer + dryer through Appliances Connection. As is similar to many others, I was told that I would get a call 24-48 hours prior to delivery in order to set up a delivery time. In reality I got an automated call in the morning telling me my order would be delivered between 12.30pm and 4.30pm that day. No advance warning, just essentially "your order is on a truck and will be dropped off this afternoon". Luckily I was able to make it work, but YF needs to realize that for many that live in apartments or condos this lead time is especially crucial as we need to notify the building to reserve the service elevator. My building was understanding, but there are other buildings that might very well say "tough luck, they can't deliver without prior notice" They sent along an email with tracking info to let me know what stop I was along their route, and at what stop the truck was currently, which I found helpful and reassuring. The driver gave me a call about 15 minutes beforehand to let me know they were en route. My building's service entrance is at the rear of the building, and I had specifically put that in the delivery instructions when I purchased the appliances, but just to be sure I reiterated that to him over the phone; when the truck got there, they'd overshot it by a block, so he had to loop around a bunch of one-way streets (remember, the delivery is in Brooklyn), to get the truck parked in the right place. They unboxed everything on the street, which makes sense as there's more room and they don't have to contend with removing a bunch of packaging on their way out of the unit, however that meant that the bottoms of the appliances were then touching and scraping the asphalt out on the street; all that packaging is a pain, but it's there to protect the appliances. Everything ended up ok, but given I have a few grand sunk into these machines, you can understand why I'd be anxious about them getting scuffed and marred before they're even in my home. In terms of installation, things were 90% ok up until the point where they had to stack the dryer on top of the washer. There's a bracket that sits on top of the washer that the dryer is meant to slip into, I wasn't really watching closely, but they were kind of struggling to get things into place. They ended up brute-forcing it and announced it installed. I--not knowing what I don't know--said "great!" and sent them on their way. It wasn't until I wanted to test things out an hour later that I realized that the installation was waaaaaaay incorrect. To give you an idea, I have to reference the installation instructions from the manufacturer. (Yelp limits the length of reviews, so see the images for part 2 of this review)
