Their website purchasing should be avoided. Their so called customer service specialists are not customer service oriented. Twice an order was shipped to my previous address. I am not sure how my previous address got on my account. The first time it happened I was able to resolve the problem and was assured it was fixed.
On September 6 I placed another order as a gift. Immediately upon receiving the email confirmation of the order I saw that my old address was still listed as the shipping address. I called customer service right away. I worked with a customer service representative and she told me it was all straightened out. Yesterday, September 11, the scheduled delivery date, I checked the status and it indicated it was delivered. After checking my front door and finding nothing I entered the website and started a chat with Monica. She provided me a delivery confirmation from UPS with a picture. It was a picture of some other front door. It also indicated it was delivered to the city I used to live in. Monica said I had to file a claim with UPS. I challenged her on that. She just kept reiterating policy. I asked for her supervisor but she wouldn't let me speak with one. Ultimately she said I would have to call customer service. I did call and spoke with Teresa who also would not put a supervisor on the phone. She said her supervisor approved a refund if I wanted one. I said yes and she said she put one through. I was notified by PayPal that a refund in the amount of $6.44 was processed on my $26.08 order. So now I have a dispute on that. William Sonoma is supposed to be a high end quality business. Maybe in their stores, but not when it comes to their web based business and customer service. read more
