In March of 2021, purchase ***** fridge from Badcock Furniture in Florida City, **. less than a year later the fridge door became defective, called the store and the fridge was replaced, now the ice maker is broken, called the store they send out a very incompetent repair service company. on their first visit they claim it was the ice maker, replace the ice maker now a valve is faulty, it must be order again. again, I must wait another few weeks to get this repair. please this appliance is under warranty and I'm still making monthly payment on it. i called the warranty ***** no one call back left several messages. I feel the store should replace this appliance at no additional cost to me. as compensation for the time, we have been dealing with this issue.Business Response

Badcock Furniture has received your complaint and we apologize for any confusion. The refrigerator in question was under our extended warranty and upon servicing it the tech determined that the ice make was defective. Unfortunately sometime replacing a part leads to other diagnosis that couldn't be determined until the part is replaced which is what happened. Once they determined their were other internal issues that caused the ordinal part to go bad we determined that the item was not repairable and it was authorized for full credit. A credit for the original Item was completed on 10/11/2023 which is five days before this complaint was submitted, and our notes indicated that we left a message with the customer to come spend the credit as they like. We do not have a warranty department for the appliance extended warranties so we are not sure who was contacted but if the customer had contacted the ********************** prior to contacting the BBB then they may have seen that they had been taken care of as they requested. Attached is a copy of the store credit that was completed on 10/11/2023 which can be spent in the store for any items the customer prefers. Please feel free to go into the store to finalize and future sale. Once again we apologize for any delays, confusion or inconvenience. Thank youInitial Complaint

I purchased a bed from badcock less than a year ago. I knew something was wrong when my dresser broke and the wood was falling apart from my bed. I was pregnant and just couldn't bother with it. Now I'm up at 140am with a broken bed and a newborn baby leaning off the bed. I just want them to come out and fix or replace and give people the quality of what they pay for. I think this company is scamming people to make these purchases and giving them cheap products compared to what they have or showcase online.Business Response

Badcock Furniture has received the complaint and after researching the information given we did not find any issue reported to our customer service department under this name or phone number. The customers name and phone number were also not found on any account or purchase record. After further review we did find a bed sale with the email on file that matches the listed email in this complaint This item was sold to a *************************** and we will reach out to them to set up a service call. Badcock has a 12 month warranty for all furniture purchases for any defects so if there is an issue and it is covered then we will attempt any repairs necessary and if a repair is not possible and the item is considered to be defective then we will exchange it or offer store credit to reselect. If for any reason this is not the proper customer information then please feel free to reach out to our customer service department at ************** so we can help assist with any warranty issues.

Do not buy from the location on in *************** on Cherry Rd. Im November 2021 I purchased a furniture including a leather sofa, recliner and love seat for roughly $2500 and some change. Fast forward to April 25, *********************************** regards to sofa damage (peeling) and loose thread hanging from my love seat. The representative needed pictures of damaged sofa sent to ********** which I sent the next day. Rep offered to give me 50% off of the sofa to purchase something new. So a technician came out on May 4th to observe furniture and give his report. After technicians report, badcock representative contacted me and stated my 3 year warranty does not cover peeling and they could only now give me 25% off sofa and 50% off love seat which amounted to $300 and some change plus I would have to get the damaged sofa to badcock myself as well as anything new I purchased with the discount I would have to have my own delivery way. I declined. This company and their employees lie just to get a sale. They lied and told me the warranty covers everything. I spoke to corporate manager on ********** Gdns by the name of ***** and he was no help and speaks to you like youre stupid. I also had a balance of 825 which after my promotion ended my balance went up to ****+. How? When the interest rate is ***** annually? DO NOT SHOP WITH THIS COMPANY! Money hungry people who do not fix furniture like they say! This is not over BOYCOTT THIS PLACE ESPECIALLY ON CHERRY RD ***************Business Response

Badcock Furniture has received the customers complaint and we apologize for any inconvenience. Attached is a copy of the customers signed receipt with a copy of their signed financial information as well as the extended warranty. We feel that *************** has misunderstood the offers we made and we are happy to explain as we feel the offers were far over and above any industry standards, because we strive for excellent customer service. The items in question come with a 12 month guarantee for any defects and as you can see by the sale date the items at the time of the report were almost 30 months old so there are no manufacturer guarantees that could be used for assistance. The customer purchase an accidental stain and tear warranty with instructions as to what is covered and what is not and how to report the claim. The copy of the signed warranty was also attached with some highlighted areas which show that at no point did we lie in regards to the coverage. The peeling damages that were discovered were not covered under the terms of the warranty and also not reported in a timely manner but instead of a denial which is what the damages qualified for, we decided to make an offer to help the customer replace the items if desired. The offer was 25% credit to return the sofa and reselect a comparable item which was a value of $192.00. At that time we also decided since the customer purchased three pieces and the other two were in decent shape even though the warranties are individual and not sold as sets we offered 1/2 credit for both pieces to return and reselect comparable items. These offers totaled over $830.00 in credits for a three piece set that was 21/2 years old and damaged as a customer service to help the customer if they felt the need to replace their damaged pieces. The customer was able to bring the items to us and pick up their new items if applicable and if not then we provide a fair priced delivery option to do the exchange. Unfortunately since we made all the other offers we could not offer free delivery as well. In regards to the financing, the customer financed with ***** ********** not Badcock Furniture so the interest issues are between them and their bank. We also attached a signed finance receipt that explains the interest. Once again we apologize for any inconvenience but we feel our offer was a good faith effort to help the customer with issues that are out of our control and way over and above what any company would offer under similar services. The offer will be good for 30 days so we hope the customer takes advantage of our courtesy. Thank youCustomer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:
My furniture set is not 21/2 years old it is 1 1/2 years old, purchased 11/08/21. Furniture set should not be peeling, tearing or missing thread. This is a cheaply made set and ************* Wisely assured me and my fianc that any and everything was covered along with cleaning of the furniture. I would never purchase or recommend anyone to purchase from Badcock again. I only want my sofa replaced, I dont even want a new set. ************* are trained to tell white lies is not honest with customers. $838 is not even enough for me to return the full set and purchase anything else from Badcock. If I could return the whole set be done with Badcock, that would be fine as long as my balance would be back to zero, you can have your furniture set

Badcock offers our apology for the discrepancy in the time frame we quoted in our last response. The items are only 18 months old not 30 months but the age is still 6 months past any manufacture guarantee so all the offers were based on the same criteria and the age of the items. Our offers would have been less if the items were older. We train our sales people to be honest and helpful to all customers but we can not verify conversations that *** or *** not have been had 18 months ago which is why we have all our policies in writing and signed by the customers. The damages to this set are not consistent with a defective product and are more consistent with outside sources, if the product was defective it would deteriorate all over and not in one general spot. The damages could have been made from many sources such as pet claws, body oils, improper cleaning chemicals or spills not cleaned etc. etc. and because the issues were not reported within a timely manner we were not able to address it or help explain why it happens and how to prevent it. Unfortunately this issue is not due to the furniture and our offer is the best we can do to help assist the customer. Again we apologize for any inconvenience. Thank youInitial Complaint

I purchased a leather sofa from: ************** of South Florida on Jan 3rd, 2021, including a protection plan. One side of the sofa is sagging and misaligned and the cushion is starting to pull away from the seam. I contacted their customers support at ************ and they sent out a tech to evaluate. They called me back last week and I was driving so I called them today and spoke with ****** and then their supervisor *****. Round and round we went. They first offered me 25% off a new purchase. And then 50% off a new purchase and the would pick up my sofa. Why would I get involved with them after this horrible experience. I would appreciate them fixing my sofa, replacing it or my money back.Business Response

Badcock Furniture has received the complaint and we apologize for any inconvenience. The customer ************************* made her purchase on 02/05/2021 as stated in the complaint, this purchase came with a 12 month guarantee for any structural issues or defects as all of our furniture does. At the time of purchase the customer also purchased a stain and tear warranty for a period of three years as stated in the complaint. When the issue was reported to us we sent out a service tech to determine the issue and get pictures. After reviewing the claim we found the issue to be due to normal wear and tear as the one side that gets the most use has had some cushion flattening issues. This is considered normal wear and tear and can very depending on the usage of the item and it is not considered a defect. Because the sofa was over the 12 month guarantee and not covered in the terms of the stain and tear warranty we were not able to offer full credit to exchange and a proper complimentary repair was not possible. Because we value our customers and strive for excellent customer service we offered them a complimentary 25% credit towards a new sofa purchase of equal value. This credit was not excepted by the customer and after reviewing again with our corporate management we agreed to 1/2 credit on and exchange of a like item of equal value to help the customer replace the sofa but the original item would have to be returned. We always want to make every effort to help our customers but unfortunately the 1/2 credit offer on an over 2 year old sofa for a non warranty issue is far over and above what we feel anyone in the industry would offer so we have to stand firm with our offer. Hopefully everyone one can see that we are truly trying to go over and above. Attached are the sale receipts with pictures of the items and all other information needed. The 1/2 credit offer will be valid for 30 days so if ************************* wants to take us up on it then she can go into her local store to purchase a new sofa and arrange for this one to be picked up at the same delivery of the new piece for a 1/2 credit totaling $549.00.

Badcock furniture has received the complaint and we are happy to provide a proper explanation. ************************* is a valued customer and we made every effort we could to assist her but unfortunately based on the facts we are unable to approve her request. The customer did purchase a Serta mattress set from us on 08/10/22 which does indeed come with a 10 year warranty from the manufacturer Serta. This warranty has strict guidelines and rules for approval set by Serta that can be found on Serta's website as the warranty is from the manufacturer not the retail store. In order for a customer to put in a claim to Serta for a defect to request credit, it is the customers responsibility and not the retailers or Serta's to get a report from an approved company that provides all facts and measurements in their reports to Serta, which is the same process for most mattress manufacturers. Our company offers a free once a year service to pay for a mattress inspection for all customers claiming any defects with a third party company that we use to get written verification of any defects. This service is complimentary and at a cost to us that we feel is a great customer service to provide free of charge to our customers but we have no control over the information claimed in the inspection that comes with the report. The company in question is Reliable Furniture Services of ******* and when the customer made a claim that the mattress was defective, we authorized Reliable Furniture Services to go out and get us the report at no cost to the customer. Once the inspection was completed and we received the report, it was determined that the customers mattress was clean and in good condition free of any defects but there was also a note that the tech was told by someone in the home that they were experiencing biting issues and had been spraying a flee and tick spray on the mattress. The report which is provided in the attachment also showed a picture of the spray on the mattress. At this time we had no choice but to file the report internally and let the customer know that this report would void her Serta warranty if we tried to send it to them because not only did in not sink enough to be considered a defect but the pest infestation claim and claim of spraying the mattress would also void the warranty and it was out of our hands. As a customer service due to the many years of being a good customer we agreed that if they truly needed help replacing the mattress then we would give her 1/2 credit of the original cost of the mattress in question towards the purchase of a new mattress. This offer is more than any company would offer and was truly our attempt to assist them. The customer contacted our corporate office to claim that the report had been falsified by the inspection company in regards to the pest claim. We tried to explain that this was out of our control because we must have a report to get her credit from the *** and we could not force Reliable to change their report and we could not change it either do to legal liability. We explained to the customer that we wont send our report to Serta so she will still have her 10 year warranty, so if the customer wants to go get a mattress inspection from another qualified company and bring it to us with all the proper proof and pictures verifying a defect then we will be happy to send it to Serta and request full credit to assist them because without a report like that we have no recourse. We truly apologize for the inconvenience but there is nothing more we can do in regards to this claim except we will still stand by our original complimentary 1/2 credit offer to reselect. We hope the information will show our attempts to assist the customer as best as possible as we always strive for excellent customer service.Customer Answer

Unfortunately at this point there is nothing more we can offer. As stated in the previous reply. The inspection company and the warranty process are not governed by our Badcock Furniture even if the item was purchased from our store. We have to follow all guidelines set by Serta to receive credit for manufacturer defects. We were only involved in the original sale of the product which was completed based on all Badcock policies. The service call was a complimentary service where we only paid for the company to contact ************************* to inspect the mattress so our customer can save on the expense of the report. Our 1/2 credit offer towards a new purchase is the best we can offer. If the customer truly feels her mattress has a defect that would qualify under *****'s guidelines then it is the customers responsibility to get a company to come make the report. If ************************* can provide us with a proper report from a mattress inspection company that shows any defects, then we are happy to send it to Serta and assist them with the credits allowed, but the company we hire for these reports can not be sent again as their info shows no defects and improper use. We apologize again for any inconvenience.Initial Complaint

On 10/25/20 i went into the store to purchase a bedroom set. The set i had chosen looked very nice on the showroom floor so at that point i proceeded with the sales clerk *********************** to purchase the set. A few months later i noticed scratches on the foot of the bed as well as the side that connects to the foundation just scratches an it just looked like cheap quality furniture. Only a few months an it looked like someone came over an scratched it up with a razor or something because the sides an the front of the bedcwas starting to look really bad. At that point i started to call to complain an i took several pictures of how bad it was looking!! The bottom of the bed was connected by cheap wood which on my receipt indicates rails but its very cheap wood put together with screws an one of the wood peices is almost cracked. I called the corporate office with this issue an i was told very rudely that i had did the wear an tearcan it was up to me to fix it! When i contacted The ***** city store an was rudely hung up on an was told i needed to pay $600 before anyone could come look at the problem. Still to this day the bed is no good you have to be very careful getting in an out of it an at some point the bed will break. I want my $448.00 back an i will never ever purchase another item from Badcock ever again. I will also encourage others to go elsewhereBusiness Response

Badcock Furniture has received the complaint and we are happy to explain. As stated by the customer the bed set was purchased on 11/06/2020. The report of the issues was submitted to our customer service department on 10/15/2022 which was 23 months after the purchase date. After looking into the claim we found, all of the damages were cosmetic and due to outside sources or wear and tear and no defects were found. Badcock Furniture offers warranty for defects on all furniture purchases up to 12 months from the purchase date as well as complimentary repairs if applicable. At the time we received the information with pictures we determined that not only were the damages not covered but the customer had not paid for the items as the financing agreement required and the account was charged of back in June of 2021 which lead us to have to deny the complementary touch up service because not only were the damages not covered and the items not paid for. We are always willing to help but with all the factors involved, unfortunately we had to deny the customers request. As a customer service we will make an attempt to do a complimentary touchup of the scratched and tighten the frame but only if the customer clears up the charged off balance. If ***************** wants to clear the balance up so we can attempt to help her with the complimentary non warranty service then she can contact the corporate account manager *********************** at ************ Thank youCustomer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:
The Company is lieing every employee i have spoken too an Manager. I reported the poor quality of the furniture to ************ even as soon as a few weeks after they delivered the bed the bed is not held up with normal metal rails its WOOD. An the whole bed was tearing up as soon as a few weeks of being delivered!!!! Most beds last longer than 2 years if its great quality furniture however even all the other complaints an reviews are pretty much saying the same thing about the furniture we all purchased from Badcock! They expect me to pay for this bed that is now on its last leg with one of the cheap wood pieces that is suppose to be holding the cheap wood in place that piece of wood is now broken an the wood is cracked!! I want my money back from what i initially paid an they can have there cheap bed back! AlsoThere is no normal wear in tear an these sctatches were appearing weeks after the bed was delivered along with the other problems an this is unacceptable. Also the company is full of very rude employees. Imnnot sure if the company numbers an sales are not doing well an they want to rip people off by selling cheap quality furniture but im encouraging others to shop elsewhere an i would like my refund.

Badcock Furniture has received your request and we apologize for any inconvenience. The item in question does have a defective reclining mechanism. We no longer sell the item which is why we offered full credit to reselect. Unfortunately a refund is not aloud after 30 days from the purchase date based on our policy which is why the customer was given the ********************** credit option. At this point the only thing we can do is pick up the defective piece for an inhouse repair. If we can repair the mechanism then we will make every effort but if the repair can not be done properly and effectively then the original offer will have to stand to return the entire piece for a full store credit. We will have the store manager contact you to arrange to pick up the piece and we will make every effort to return it repaired asap. If you do not receive a call to schedule the pickup then contact your store manager ****** at ************ and we will get the repair scheduled. Thank youCustomer Answer

We truly apologize for the inconvenience but our warranty guarantees a full store credit to reselect and does not allow for a refund after 30 days of purchase. The customer must return the defective item to receive the credit to be spent in the store on like items. If you choose not to return the sectional for a store credit then the warranty offer will eventually expire.Customer Answer

We have agreed to pick up the item for a repair. Hopefully all goes well but if for any reason the repair cant be completed properly then the original offer of a full store credit only, will have to be enforced. Hopefully the repair will work and we wont have to address it again. Thank youCustomer Answer

Purchased a sleeper sofa bed from Badcock 03/21/2022. This was financed through ***** Fargo. I contacted Badcock with complaint on June 22 explaining my dissatisfaction with the product. They responded by sending out repairmen. There wasn't any repair they could do. They ask what was the problem.The problem was the sleeper was not comfortable, the cushions were not padded enough so the one i was sitting on was already bent out of shape, not comfortable to sit on. The sofa was poorly design and material was of inferior quality. After a month i called to enquire of the decision. A rep told me that it was the customer's perception. They were only willing to replace the one cushion.I have no alternative but to stop paying ***** Fargo and to file this complaint with the BBB to see if i can get a resolution.Business Response

Badcock Furniture has received your complaint and we apologize for any inconvenience. Unfortunately we only have a 30 day comfort guarantee on our mattress products. The delivery date for this product was 03/25/22 and we received your complaint the item was over 90 days old. At the time of your request we agreed to send out a third party mattress warranty inspection company to determine if the mattress was defective and the report determined that there were no defects only a comfort issue based on customer perception. It was also noted that a cushion core had some excessive ware and tear do to use so we agreed to order a new cushion for the sofa as a complimentary service but this is all we can offer at this time. Your payment to ***** Fargo financing is not within our control as we are not the finance company but any dispute in regards to this order will be denied based on the information we have. Once again we apologize for any inconvenience.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:To date, i have not receive an apology from Badcock or the offer of replacing cushions.

Once again as stated on the previous response, Badcock Furniture apologizes for any inconvenience in regards to your purchase. Per our offer and your agreement we will inquire into ordering new cushion cores for the sleeper if they are still available from the manufacturer. This item is no longer current so we do not have the inventory to take from. We will inquire with the manufacturer and if the cores are still available then we will be happy to order them as a complimentary customer service. Special orders have delayed time frames as they come from overseas so the average wait time is 4 to 6 weeks. If for any reason the cushion cores are not available then we will let you know asap. Thanks you and once again we apologize for any inconvenience.Customer Answer

August 10 **** bought a chest drawer for ******. My son didn't like it so I called to returned the merchandise. The manager told me that I would be charged a restocking fee of 20%.The invoice says 15% and for picking up the merchandise too. So I took it my self and the Assistant Manager was there to help me return the merchandise.So he said he was trying to help me and my mother's card was refund ****** and ***** for restocking fee.I signed I left the store five minutes later they call me to come back because the computer wouldn't take the transaction.So he had to do the paper work over and I signed another invoice with a different amount.Now that amount for the refund 470.74./That it should of been ******, because the delivery was not included in the refund.The total that my mother's card was charged for the restocking to pay was ***** plus ****** that I had to pay from my **** card, a total of ******.Business Response

Badcock Furniture has received the complaint and we apologize for the inconvenience. We are aware of the transaction and there was some confusion processing the refund. The original refund was done for full credit so we had to do a separate charge for the original delivery charge that was not to be refunded and the restocking fee based on the policy. The item returned had a retail amount of ****** so the 15% restocking fee was a total of ***** plus the original delivery was a service that was fulfilled so that charge of ***** was not refundable. The total charges should have been ****** which is the restocking fee plus tax and the delivery charge. If you credit card statement shows a charge totaling more than ****** after all charges and refunds then please bring the statement in and we will correct it but our system shows that the totals were correct. Hopefully this explains the process after the confusion. Once again we apologize for any inconvenience.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: I was charged a 20% restocking fee not 15% like they say.I was only suppose to be charged the restocking fee and that was it.I paid the delivery and I should of been refunded that total amount of the merchandise and delivery,in the invoice it doesn't say about not returning the delivery fee.This assistant manager charged me the first time ***** and got close to my ear and said to me that's all I'm gonna charge you we all need help. That's not a proper way to speak to a client.When I left he called me back and told me that the transaction didn't go thru so he re did the paperwork and charged me $148.00.

Once again we apologize for any inconvenience. The total that was supposed to be charged to you was ****** after all charges and credits which was a 15% restocking fee for the item that was returned with a retail amount of ****** plus tax totaling $64.48 and the original delivery charge of $69.95. If you were not charged this amount then please bring in the charge and credits on your statements and we can review it and refund any difference owed to you. Unfortunately we cannot fix this without you coming into the store with the information and the card to apply any addition credit to you, if owed. Please go into the store location to get this addressed. Thank youCustomer Answer
