March 7 2024 Corliving delivered recliner (LRB452R). But by 5 days later (March 12), I emailed them pictures indicating the foam seat had sagged already. They emailed "Yes, the sag is very noticeable, and not normal.... Our team will review and attempt repair, If a repair is not possible, we will exchange your recliner." because it had a 6 month warranty.I emailed "it would be helpful to talk to you by phone...because I'm still trying to understand how faulty foam got into chairs...I am anxious that once fixed (or given a replacement), in a couple of days I won't discover faulty foam again" However, they emailed they can't talk by phone, and replaced the chair. And I experienced the same problem.They will not replace it again, because it will just be the same problem. In other words, they acknowledge their foam is not the proper specification to hold its shape. They offer to replace it with another comparable chair or have a store credit. However their other chairs don't meet my needs, and I need no other furniture so I seek a full refund of $647.93 CAD including shipping because I shouldn't have to pay shipping of a item with design flaw.They won't because they have a no refund policy on a final sale/clearance item which means I must accept the chair as is. Which I would if it didn't use insufficient foam specifications; the sag misaligns my body straining my back. Sitting on a pillow to compensate raises my torso so my head loses support when reclined. Since the item is faulty at a design level, instead of having it replaced every 5 days for the duration of the warranty, they should make an exception to their no refund policy.Companies shouldn't sell faulty chairs then lock my money in just because it was a 'final sale'. This is an unethical business practice. They should really remove the faulty product from their inventory instead of selling it as clearance.Customer Answer

As the customer stated she has purchased a final sale item, which she did come to the store and test prior to purchasing. We have offered a number of alternative solutions in an attempt to rectify the issue the customer is having however she has not been agreeable to any of our suggestions. Further to our final sale policy we are also well past the 30-day post purchase refund time frame.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:The chair has not maintained its integrity. Although I asked, they refuse to disclose the specs of the foam they use, how many of these chairs have been sold and if they use the same foam in their other products. Instead of admitting the foam has problems, just yesterday they wrote that this a "specific use case". I have told them I am the only one sitting on a chair. I am 150 lb adult and sit in it a couple hours a day.When I asked for further details, they refused to tell me what "specific use" would cause this malfunction so I am left to believe they are using insufficient firmness in their foam.
Further The 6 month warranty is not being honored, which guarantees this chair should maintain its integrity during this time, being repaired or replaced if not. Since they say they can't repair it or arrange for it to be repaired, they replaced it once. But when the problem was noticeable within a week again, they declared they won't replace it with the same model again, thus breaking the warranty agreement.
We both agree the problem would keep happening with this foam, but I believe that is a chair problem and they somehow want to believe it is a problem with my particular body using it. Instead they declared I can accept a comparable recliner [which they have no other that doesn't support my long torso] or buy something that isn't a recliner with a store credit. SO they are following the part of their warranty procedure if an item is out of stock, which this has NOT been.
If a company has furniture with faulty design, they can't be allowed to designate it as clearance and then lock your money into another of their products when you discover the faultiness.
By the way, the business response says it is well beyond 30 days, but I reported the problem within 5 days, and I questioned how a replacement would be any different shortly after. But they would not discuss with me so I followed their replacement procedure. I wanted this recliner to work out and they kept assuring they genuinely wanted my satisfaction, so I took the time to carefully examine alternative recliners at their store. All that takes time. And I have provided them with valuable information about the insufficiency of their foam that can benefit them in their future products. I have dealt in good faith with this business, and even told them in advance that I would seek BBB involvement

I am rejecting this response because:it is not fair and reasonable business practice to sell item that the seller admits is not functioning properly, and can't repair, and won't honor the included 6 month warranty by continuing to replace it until it is out of stock.Further I wrote a fair review of the chair including Pros and Cons with no reference to the nature of this current dispute, and they sent an email saying it was posted, but it wasn't. They never did allow it on their site, so future buyers can't be forewarned

I purchased a patio box. When we received it we didnt realize the patio box does not come lined. The description is not clear. We lined the box with bags then decide to return it. I contacted the company within the time to return the product so they sent me a label. It was sent back assembled. They stated that since it was assembled and lined with bags they would not have accept it. *** sent them two emails saying I would either like my money back or the patio box sent back to me since I paid for it. However they are no ignoring my emails.Business Response
