Dear Value City Furniture,I am writing to express my extreme frustration and disappointment with my recent experience ordering a couch from your store. I placed the order in November, and since then, I have received three different delivery dates, all of which have been pushed back. Now, I am being told to expect delivery in Marcha waiting period of nearly four months for a single sofa.Throughout this ordeal, I have faced nothing but unhelpful responses from your store. Every inquiry has been met with the same excuse: blaming the delays on distribution issues without providing any concrete updates or solutions. To add insult to injury, I was told not to be upset because all delivery dates are tentative. This dismissive attitude shows a complete lack of regard for your ************ is unreasonable and unacceptable to expect anyone to endure such a lengthy wait for furniture, especially without clear communication or accountability. I am highly dissatisfied and will never do business with Value City Furniture again. Furthermore, I will actively discourage others from making the same mistake.This experience has been nothing but a source of frustration and wasted time. I expect a resolution or compensation and my delivery for this inconvenience, though my confidence in your ability to deliver on any commitment has been completely eroded.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:Im actually not set to receive in February. I was called and told that only two pieces would be available in February and the third was tentative in MARCH!!! So a whole month difference in what is mentioned, its March 6th!! I have NO living room furniture as we were told in store that it had to be removed before delivery which I was told one day before I would not get it. How is this acceptable?? Youre telling me a date and the store is saying March 6th. We as paying costumers deserve better, my children deserve a sofa to sit on, not kitchen chairs due do lack of manpower, or manufacturer ********* is quite heartbreaking actually this is our home, our safe place, repent our furniture, commit to delivery it, and please do better!!

I purchased furniture for my new home on November 27th, 2024, and was told that all my items would be delivered on my last delivery date which was January 17, 2025. They had ample time to make sure that all my items would be on the truck that came. Now they are saying some of my other items will not make it to my home until February 7th, 2025. other 65% of the items is supposedly to be coming on May 2nd 2025, which is unacceptable. My daughter's bedroom set came as a king and it was suppose to be a queen, my dinning room table was broken completely where it can not be used. ******** did all the ordering and rest assured me that all of my items would be there by the time I was moving in. If I can not get an answer as to all of my items coming on February 7th 2025 I will be asking for a refund for the items that were purchased and ask them also to pick them up. I am not happy with your guys service, and I have furnished 3 homes with you guys and never had this issue which is horrible and disappointing. If there is not a resolution I will file a civil complaint within the ***************** due to the amount of money I spent which was around ****** dollars. I ask for a quick response. thanksBusiness Response

When I purchased this loveseat, it was standing alone and it had a center console with a cupholder. I told the sales woman this is exactly what Ive been looking for, and I want to buy this loveseat. We went to check out. I paid for the loveseat and when it was delivered, there was no console. The delivery man said maybe its on backorder. After the delivery man left - The right side does not recline when you pull the lever. There is also several black plastic shreds falling from underneath both sides, indicating that something is rubbing and wearing off. I called immediately after the loveseat was delivered and I was told that I would get a call back in about two days- that was last week to have the right side lever to recline repaired. To this day nobody has called me. I was told to text the sales woman. All she did was apologize for her mistake and told me that I could go ahead and purchase the console since she forgot to add it or even tell me that it was an extra charge because she neglected to tell me it didnt come with the loveseat, even though it was displayed with it. she did not offer me a price she did not offer me free shipping or delivery when I reached out to her.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:1.THE FAULTY ***** HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A CALL BACK IN TWO DAYS FROM THE DATE OF DELIVERY WHEN I CALLED THE STORE TO ADVISE.
2.I TEXTED THE ***** ASSOCIATE AND SHE DID NOT ADDRESS THE ***** NOT WORKING EITHER
3.I SUBMITTED A BBB COMPLAINT RECORD AND THE RESPONSE GIVEN HERE STILL DOES NOT ADDRESS SOMEBODY COMING OUT TO FIX THE RIGHT SIDE LOVESEAT ***** NOT DEPLOYING OR CLOSING CORRECLTY
4.I HAVE A PERFECT SALE EXPERIENCE IN THE STORE. I FOUND THE LOVESEAT THAT I WANTED INCLUDING THE CONSOLE. THIS WAS THE MAIN REASON I PURCHASE IT. ***** ASSOCIATE UNDERSTOOD THIS AND KNEW IT WANTED IT, NEVER SAID IT WAS A SEPARATE PIECE. BASED ON WHAT I WAS VERBALLY SOLD AND PURCHASE IN THE STORE THE CONSOLE SHOULD BE DELIVERD FREE OF CHARGE AND THE STORE SHOULD EAT THE PRICE OF THE CONSOLE FOR THEIR ***** MISTAKE. IT WAS NOT MY KNOWING AT ALL THAT IT WAS NOT INLCUDED OR CHARGED FOR.

On 11/25/2023 my husband and I went into the American Signature furniture located in ************, **. We had just survived a devastating house fire and were wanting to replace our couch that we had only had for 6 days prior to the fire. We selected all of the same furnishings and had a delivery date for sometime in March of 24. Due to the nature of our situation that was then moved to June and then July. On July 10th our couch was delivered to our garage in the packaging. We inspected the pieces and found that one of the pieces were damaged upon delivery. We immediately called the location and were given an email address to send photos to. We have gone back and forth every month since and still have not received our replacement piece even though it is in the warranty we purchased AS WELL AS in the delivery ***** the company has. it is highly unacceptable to spend over 5000 on a piece of furniture and be stuck with it being damaged. we've spoken to various managers as well as the sales person who helped us replace the couch and no one will call back or replace the damaged piece.Business Response

On Dec. 29th, 20w4 i went to the *****************, ******, ** store to purchase a recliner for my husband's bday gift. ****** ********* helped me and I wanted to put a deposit to hold the chair and we went to customer service where ***** ***** took my $50.00 Cash.

I drove 35 mins to the store and ***** said I didn't hv to come down because they don't ** **** to refund me. He said a check would be issued. I called on the 15th of January 2025 and he said he would look into it on the following business day and call me.

I called Jan 18th, 2025 and spoke to another woman and she stated she talked to ***** ***** and he never finalized the check so now I hv to wait another 1-2 weeks. I think it's a load of c*** that since 12-31-24 to 1-18-24 my refund wasn't finalized or that they couldn't hv held onto $50.00 cash to refund me. Just a bunch of games, no wonder this place doesn't get a lot of business and why they hv such bad reviews. I just want my money back! It's been too long of a wait for it.

On January 2nd 2025 I came to the Amherst store location to purchase a reclining Loveseat, on that day I was advised by the sales *** that my item would be available for pickup the week of January 6th and she stated that I was able to select any day between Tuesday and Saturday for pickup, I elected to pick up the item on January 11th, my sales *** advised me to call on the 11th to confirm the item was available. On January 11th I called the Amherst location 3 different times and was told by two different ***s that they would go into the warehouse to see if the item was there, on the 3rd call I was told that the item was not at the location and that their next shipment would be on January the 14th and the item would be available on January 15th, I explained to the *** that I would not be able to pick up until Friday January 17th, that *** advised me to call again to confirm the item was available on the 15th or 16th. On January 16th I called to see if the item was available after 2pm, I called the store at 2:30pm to see if the item was available, the *** advised me that they would again have to have someone go into the warehouse to confirm, after over an hour I recieved a call stating that the item was again not available, I requested to speak with a manager after another 35 minute wait, another *** came onto the line to advise me that the item was there for pickup, I advised the *** that I would be at the location on January 17th to pick the item up. I went to the location and after a 45 minute wait the warehouse *** advised me that he was unable to find the item and he looked thru the whole warehouse, he stated that he spoke with his manager who stated that yes the item was there but that since his *** could not find it that I should return to the store on January 18th to pick up the item when the manager was there. At this time I am no longer going to obtain the item due to the long draw out issues.Business Response

Dear ***** *******,
On 1/21/25 we emailed you regarding your remaining items to be delivered as requested. The delivey included a nightstand and a king bed.
On 1/29/25 a nightstand was delivered. A king size bed was also delivered, but refused by you because you were unsure if your adjustable base would be compatible with the king size bed. We previously discuss compensation on both items being delivered at $400.00.
The local store is charging you a 15% restocking fee on the refusal of the king bed. You can find our terms and conditions online as it relates to cancellations. Due to only you receiving one item delivered, we can only offer you $229.99 for the delays and experience.

I purchased furniture from Value City Furniture in *******, **, on November 23, 2024, and received the delivery on December 6, 2024. Upon inspection, I noticed two issues with the furniture and contacted the store on December 9, 2024. I spoke with ****** *******, the store manager, who assured me that a technician would be sent to my home to resolve the issues.On December 16, 2024, when i called. he scheduled a technician visit. On December 19, 2024, tech was not able to fix the issues so took some photos and informed i will be contacted. On December 26, 2024, managers were in meeting and i was not able to speak to a manager. Associate said, i will be contacted next day. By then, I had discovered two additional issues with the furniture, prompting me to send an email outlining all the problems. Below are the issues i have addresses in the email I sent on 12/26/2024:1.Console Misalignment: The console does not align properly with the furniture, leaving a visible gap between the console and the seat, which affects the overall appearance.2.Velcro Issue: The Velcro on the back of the sofas is not strong enough to hold the flap in place. Each time the recliner is used, the flap opens up and does not stay secure.3. Color Difference: I have noticed a noticeable color difference between the two parts of the center wedge on top, which is quite apparent.4. Recliner Noise: The left-facing recliner makes noise when it is opened or closed.On December 30, 2024, I initiated a chat with customer service to verify the email address and was assured that someone would reach out.Since no one has contacted me, I have had no choice but to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). I am hoping that they can help resolve these issues or provide compensation for the problems I have encountered and the significant amount of time I have spent trying to address them.I would appreciate any assistance you can offer in this matter. Thank you for your attention.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I scheduled the service appointment with them as requested (proof attached) and took the day off from work, since the appointment window was from 9:00am to 5:00pm. However, no one showed up, and I didnt receive any communication about a delay or cancellation. As a result, I lost a full days pay and ended up wasting my time. If the service is this unprofessional right from the start, Im concerned about how theyll handle my warranty in three years. I invested in an expensive piece of furniture to avoid issues like this, and I didnt expect this level of service from such a well-known company.
Regards,

Complaint: 22825999
I am rejecting this response because: As a customer who paid a premium price for both the furniture and the warranty, I expected to receive a high-quality, non-defective product. It is disappointing to find that the item does not meet the standard of quality I was promised. Additionally, I am concerned that I have been asked to handle this situation through a third party, which I find unprofessional and not in line with the level of service I should be receiving directly from Value City.Given the circumstances, I am requesting compensation for the inconvenience and the defect. If I am forced to deal with a third party using the warranty I paid for, I am requesting at least a 50% refund from Value City to account for the inconvenience and my time it took trying to resolve this . I will manage any third-party interactions at a time that is convenient for me. It feels like they are trying to avoid their responsibilities and shift the burden onto me.
I expected high-quality furniture and service, but its unprofessional for them to ask me to handle things with a third party when they should be addressing the issue themselves.

Hello, I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the closure of my complaint without any satisfactory resolution. The business has advised me to utilize my warranty, which I find unacceptable in this case. I paid for a warranty to cover issues that arise down the line, not as an immediate solution to a defective product.
As a customer who purchased brand new items, I expect to receive non-defective furniture. Therefore, I request that this complaint be reopened, as I do not accept their response. If I were to rely on my warranty, there would be no reason for me to contact the business in the first place.
If the company is unwilling to compensate me for the defective furniture, they can either replace it with new, non-defective items or arrange for a return and exchange. The issues raised in my complaint have not yet been properly addressed, and I expect them to be resolved promptly.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.Business Response

Dear ******* *****,
You are using the manufacturer warranty as you are still within the 1-year warranty, we are not using the extended warranty.
We have looked at the service report, and per the certified service technician's report, the sectional is up to manufacturing standards. They found no issues.
If you have any further questions or concerns, you may contact our ************* Team at ************.

am rejecting this response because my complaint remains unresolved.The technician who visited acknowledged all the issues I pointed out, documented them in a report, and assured me that someone would follow up. I have attached photos and video of the defects with this.
However, the business is now claiming that, based on the technicians report, everything is fine. I would like to see a copy of this report.
This is the second time a technician has come without resolving the issues, requiring me to take time off and stay home for two separate visits.
I would like to resolve this matter as soon as possible. If not, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint to the *************************
I am requesting one of the following resolutions:
1. A full refund upon returning the damaged item.
2. A proper repair that fully resolves the issues.
3. Compensation for the time and effort I have spent trying to resolve this.I look forward to your prompt response.
