      I ordered a small item online and all through the ordering process they did not show shipping costs. I looked everywhere and clicked all around before clicking the complete order and didnt see it so I assumed my total was the price shown. Only after confirming my order did I se a $7 shipping cost. Then there is no way to contact them to cancel. I called and at 8:30am they are still closed I was told by the robot. I will never order from them again. They obviously hide costs on purpose and that lacks integrity. I do not need any product from such a company.

      I bought a cast iron cleaning kit in March and it is now April and the nylon brush that came with it is falling apart. Huge waste of money on sub par product.

      Williams Sonoma doesnt honor their rewards points. They offer them and say youll receive them but that doesnt happen. They give you an email address in their store to inquire and its invalid.

      I ordered two upholstered arm chairs for my living room. This was my first time shopping with Pottery Barn, and will certainly be my last.The actual armchairs are beautiful and feel sturdy, but the customer service, shipping process, and timing were absolutely *************: timing: The armchairs were ordered in August 2024 -- promised to arrive in October 2024. I didn't have them both here until March 2025. I was charged for both armchairs in **********: shipping: I had multiple issues with the white glove delivery (not showing up at agreed time, and bringing the wrong item).re: customer service: I had at least 4 phone calls with Pottery Barn customer service agents. All of the agents were unresponsive, unapologetic, and illogical. One lied to me. They all kept saying "It's not our policy to . . . [insert any effort for customer satisfaction]". When I asked to speak to their manager, all of them would say that was impossible. When I nagged, I was promised "someone from the leadership team would call me back" and I received no call.After really pushing, I finally received a 10% refund (initially was told the best they could do was a 5% refund). They refused to refund the shipping charge ($350).It was bad business, and I am extremely disappointed. I would recommend staying away from this company.

      Ordered dining chairs and counter stools at the same time. We were told if we opted for white glove delivery our items would ship together, but if we opted for doorstep delivery, they would come separate. Since our custom counter stools were not estimated to ship for 6 months, we elected doorstep delivery to have our dining chairs within 2 months of ************* forward to past the estimated delivery date of our dining chairs, we are now informed both sets of chairs are estimated to be delivered at the 6 month **** and they were always going to be shipped together as this is the business practice. We were straight up lied, there is nothing that can be done and will never shop here again.

      Dear Pottery Barn Corporate Office, I am writing this email today as an extremely frustrated customer. I placed an order for two cashmere and Linen **** diffusers on 11/30/24. I dont have an order # because someone on your team enter my email address incorrectly. You can locate my account with my phone number. I placed the order on 11/30/24. I received the order I received 1.5 bottle of diffuser. See picture attached. I ordered this scent prior from your store and the item that I received in this order was not the items I ordered. Seems like someone just slap a random label on a random bottle and called it the cashmere linen diffuser and they also thought it was ok to send a half a bottle instead of a bottle. I called pottery barn the day I receive the order 12/5/24 and emailed ***** pictures she apologized and send she would send me a return label and also sent out a replacement order. The replacement order was never fulfilled because your **** didnt have the item in stock for this entire year. I was told not to worry your team will process a full refund when they receive the items that I returned. You team received both items but somehow once again manage to s**** up and only process a refund to my CC for one item for $158. Ive since reached out to pottery barn 13 times trying to get my refund. I called on 12/5/24, 12/8/24, 12/18, 1/9/25, 1/12/25, 1/17/25, 1/20/25, 2/1/25, 2/10/25, 2/18/25,2/26/25 and 3/10/25. I was told at least 10 times that I would see the credit in 3-7 days or 7-10 days. When reach back out on 2/18/25 I was told that pottery barn would need to send me a PB credit for and it would be sent to my email. I reiterated that your team have my email incorrect. I was promise they fix the email issue and I would receive the credit via email and I would receive the credit by 2/26/25. When I didnt receive the credit then I call pottery barn again. Only to be told the credit was sent to the incorrect email. As of 3/28/25. No credit.

      My experience with Pottery Barn (Williams Sonoma) has been an absolute nightmare. Save your time and shop at *************** I ordered something January 20th, and the estimated arrival at the store was supposed to be February 4th. I had not heard anything by February 16th so I gave pottery barn a call. I spoke with corporate and the store a couple of times trying to locate my item and have it escalated. It wasnt successful. I asked for a full refund for the item I never received! I have now spoken on the phone with Pottery Barn corporate and the store at least 5 times, and I have yet to get a full refund! At this point they are thieves. I would NEVER shop with Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn or West Elm again, and I will let anyone and everyone know not to shop with them. What a terrible experience, and I will continue shopping with Crate and Barrel (which Ive had great experiences with) going forward!

      Assembly crew used for Phoenix, AZ destroyed every Allen head bolt on bed frame. Wanted to move bed to different room. EVERY single Allen head bolt was rounded out, could not remove any of them. Tried to file a claim, denied due to having the bed for more than 6 months. Please Please Please inspect all screws/bolts after assembly, do not accept any damage. Pottery Barn will not cover any damage caused by assembly people, assembly/delivery company refers you back to Pottety Barn, it’s an absolute nightmare.

      TERRIBLE COMPANY! **************** sux- they misled and lied to us about a $9,000 return- After 3 arduous calls totally over an house, we discover that we are only getting a store credit- after being told we would get a refund. And they gave us grief over outdoor cushions- for their furniture- that they claimed to be "custom made" HUH? they are featured with the furniture, they are sold with the furniture, and they are only going to resell them to another unsuspecting customer. SAVE YOUR MONEY and go to the myriad of other, better companies. PB *****

      Im beyond disappointed with my $8,000 sectional from Pottery Barn. Less than three years in, the framework has completely fallen apart! This is not just normal wear and tearthis is a major structural failure for a piece of furniture that was supposed to be high quality.For the price, I expected durability, but instead, Im stuck with a sofa thats literally collapsing. To make things worse, Pottery Barns customer service has been no help at all. Since its past their limited warranty, they refuse to take responsibility, even though this is clearly a manufacturing issue.
