      On June 24,2024 we purchased a Midea refrigerator from Brandsmart in *********** ga that came with a $100.00 rebate. At the time of purchase the salesman ************************* said Brandsmart would contact us via mail for the information regarding the rebate. I contacted Brandsmart today and learned there was a form to be filled out before the rebate was to be issued. We paid for Brandsmart to deliver, install, and remove the existing faulty Refrigeratot. We never received a receipt as we left the store that day and made payment over the phone via debit card the same day. We later learned the driver left our receipt assuming with our tenant.We buy a lot of appliances with Brandsmart, and for the most part always happy. We just want our $100.00 rebate. You can contact me at ************ **** **** properties ****

      Complaint: 21982164

      We are a property management company that purchased in December a Midea refrigerator, - whirlpool oven, that's brand smart delivered and installed in 1 of our tenants home. When we asked about the ****** rebate ******* stated the paid invoice would have the model-serial number and we could file the rebate online. After we paid for appliances in store and got home we noticed there was a model of the refrigerator but not the serial number we needed. We are a management company We do not have access to aquire the serial number in tenants home. We feel we were mislead information to complete the sale, and we're never going to recover the rebate. We buy often from ******, and would just like our 100 rebate issued back to our card.

      Sincerely,

      ****** *****

      Ms. ***** ******, attached is the invoice we purchased on 12/26/2024, not on 07/12/2024..Yes we had this same identical problem back in July. When your dishonest salesman pushed the Midea refrigerator AGAIN on us we explained we couldn't get the last rebate because we needed the serial# off the unit. He stated he would have the installers text a pic of the serial # so we could file the rebate online. We buy a lot of appliances from BS, and can not believe a word the salespeople say. We just want our rebate. Thank u

      I placed an online order with BrandsMartUSA.com on 9/25/23. I'm having a whole house Reno and shortly after placing this order I learned the work needed on my home would be much more extensive. I postponed my delivery until 5/25/24. During this time frame the model I really wanted which was out of stock when I placed the order came back in stock. As they were the same price, I requested the model number be changed which the delivery manager said wouldn't be a problem. I received a text, an email and an automated call to confirm my delivery. I was also told I would receive a call when the delivery driver was 30 minutes away from my location. I received no phone call and contacted them at which time I was advised that my item was not on the truck due to it being a "miss count". That means it showed in the system but couldn't be found in the ******* warehouse. I asked why at no point did someone not call to advise me of this? I was told they were just the person taking the call and didn't know why. I asked to speak to a Mgr. *****(?) the Mgr apologized, said he would have it transferred up from *******, and delivered the very next Saturday which didn't happen and again i had to call THEM to find this out. I spoke to another Mgr **** who assured me that he was going to go out on the warehouse floor, place my name on the refrigerator and ensure it was transferred to *******. He went as far as to say that he'd call me to confirm this had been done. Needless to say, i never heard from him and you guessed it, when i received the call that my delivery would be made in 30 minutes but had to again initiate a call to them because it wasn't there an hour later, i was again told it wasn't on the truck, wasn't in stock, they said "I don't know how you could've gotten a call" sarcastically as if i was lying, never apologized for my inconvenience and hung up on me when i asked to speak to a Mgr. Those were just a few examples. Total failed deliveries: 5/25, 6/15, 6/29 and 7/6.

      I purchased a washing machine from Brandsmart USA and requested delivery service through this company. On April 29, my washing machine was delivered, and I was not aware that the delivery guys placed the packaging to include Styrofoam, cardboard and plastic wrappings at the opposite entrance of my building, instead of placing it in the large trash cans provided. I live in a housing community with strict rules and regulations, loitering Is prohibited. On May 2nd Photos were obtained by the *** after residents made several complaints. The trash was identified as belonging to me because the shipping label from the washing machine was still on the plastic wrappings. I was notified of a hearing on May 21. I attended the hearing which was held on June 12 and I was notified of these findings, presented with the photos of the evidence as well as fined $200 for leaving trash on the property. I immediately went to Brandsmart USA with my complaint and spoke with a manager *****************************, who agreed this should not be my responsibility to pay and stated he would assist In helping me obtain the $200 to cover the fine amount from the delivery company. I have provided pictures, the actual fine documentation, and have had no assistance since in obtaining the funds to pay this fine, which is due July 8. I have made several attempts to contact the manager and even speak to other **** managers on this topic. They continue to not take my calls Or state it is not their responsibility. I have had no luck in any management Brandsmart. Im only seeking To be given the $200 that is required to pay this fine due to them loitering on the property. Furthermore, I am shocked at the actions of the delivery company to leave large amount of trash on any lawn or building property for which they deliver items, these actions are unacceptable especially when trash cans are available to dispose of these items if necessary.

      Brandsmart USA failed to deliver and install an icemaker that was included in my purchase of a refrigerator on July 4, 2023 that costed $1262.56. The refrigerator was delivered, but not the icemaker. The installation team assured my relatives they would return to complete the delivery and installation but never did. Despite multiple attempts by my relatives, who were residing in my house at the time, to contact Brandsmart, no response was received.Upon their move out in June 2024, I was informed that the icemaker had never been delivered. I personally called Brandsmart multiple times and, failing to get through, visited the store on June 23, 2023. I spoke with ****** in customer service, who promised that I would receive a call within 24 hours. No one called. Consequently, I visited the store again and spoke to the store manager, who assured me that my issue would be resolved.On June 27, 2024, I received a call from Brandsmart stating they would deliver the icemaker, but would not install it because I had the refrigerator for one year and that they would not take responsibility for the installation, despite my having a five-year warranty. I feel that I am being taken advantage of as a senior citizen. Last year was particularly challenging for me due to health issues, and had I known earlier that Brandsmart did not fulfill their installation responsibilities, I would have addressed the issue sooner.I have been a loyal customer and trusted ********************** to uphold their service commitments. Their failure to do so is unacceptable and has caused me undue stress and inconvenience. I kindly request the Better Business Bureau to assist in resolving this matter by ensuring that Brandsmart completes the delivery and installation of the icemaker as originally agreed.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your assistance in resolving this issue.

      Your system will not allow me to attach screenshots. I purchased a dining room set online today from Brandsmart USA **************. I opted to pick up at store to avoid the $109 delivery fee. I rented a truck to go get the item. About an hour after purchase, I received call from BM USA saying the item not in stock:Me: Why did it say it was available online?Agent: takes awhile to update, you will get a refund in 7-10 BUSINESS days Me: Refund? For what? There is no purchase. Why would you process my payment if you dont have the item?Agent: Hung up on me Called **************************** to the Dania warehouse. I was informed by ****** that there are at least 5 sets at warehouse down st from Dania store. ME: Great- when will they deliver to Dania store?******: They wont. You can come pick it up at warehouse but you will need to cancel this order, drive to dania in person, pay for it, get a ticket, then go to warehouse with ticket. ME: Cancel it? Its already canceled! ******: no, the person who hung up didnt cancel, so your $ wasnt going to be refunded it wouldve been held. ME: If its at warehouse down the street that feeds Dania store its products, why wont warehouse bring items to its store? ******: (paraphrasing) bottomline- only way warehouse will move it is if I pay AN ADDITIONAL $109 delivery fee.ISSUE: They took my money off my card knowing they couldnt fill order, then tried to bully me into paying another $109 for delivery. Now they are holding my funds for a product they knew they did not have!!!!!!!!!!
