TLDR:
If you order delivery of any item online or in-store you have a very high chance of your item getting locked up in delivery, constantly delayed, waiting multiple months. DO NOT order from there choose CB2 or literally Ebay, they're more reliable.
November 9th 2024. We order our West Elm couch. It's a big purchase, about 4,000 dollars. They tell us it will be delivered on December 23rd. Seems fine. We wait.
December 22nd we sell our old couch because of course, we're getting a new one.
Morning of December 23rd we are texted hours before delivery that the delivery has had a problem. WE ARE NOT EMAILED, CALLED OR ANYTHING ELSE TO RESCHEDULE. A matter of fact there is no other confirmation of this cancellation besides a robotcall at 8 AM. We have no idea what is going on or why.
On December 26th we call asking about our order. There was a stain of some sort. We're told they will fix it and it should arrive before the 30th. We didn't receive any correspondence after that. If I had not called, we would not know anything about our order or any time in which this couch may or may not get delivered.
Now I am call about every other day. Finally someone helps me and reschedules it for the 11th. Fine. The 10th rolls around, we get the apartment ready for the couch. Then the 11th hits. No email, no messages, no texts, just no one shows up to delivery the couch.
I call again. Same problems, there's no movement on the couch and another day is wasted.
Through all of these delivery dates we have made amendments. We sell our previous couch on the night of the 22nd to make room for the new one. We requested the couch get delivered on the 23rd of December so that we could fly on the 24th to see my parents and stay until after new years. We change our flight to the 29th at an extra cost so that we can get the couch on the 30th. We arrange our weekend of Jan 11th so that we can intercept this couch. Doesn't come. I've called over 15 times. From customer service to store locations to the white glove delivery service. No one really can help or give me an accurate time table.
Finally, today we cancel our order and it takes me threatening reporting this activity as fraudulent, which it objectively is, to my credit card provider.
This story is not unique. DO NOT ever order delivery from West Elm. They are nothing more than scam artists with a pretty webpage. read more
