In June 2024, I bought a couch from Value City. My purchase price totaled more than $5,000. The couch was defective and returned. In November 2024, I got a second, different couch from Value City. The couch was supposed to be white (chalk). Upon delivery, it was clear it was not white (chalk). I am not seeking to return the second couch at this point in part because Value City wanted to charge me an expensive restocking fee even though the couch was not the color described. However, it was significantly cheaper than the first couch. My grandson and I have both attempted to contact Value City about the refund I am owed. My grandson contacted Value City, who advised they would send all purchase receipts so we could sort through the issue. Value City never sent the receipts. Based upon current information, I am owed approximately $800.Business Response

On November 29th 2024 I came in to purchase two bedroom suites for my daughters. Also purchased two of the 60" OVERSIZED POUF - **** ****. The bedroom suites were the **** #: 57980-S2-6G 6PC KG FB STG BRS-ASHEVILLE TB and the **** #: 74786-S2-6G 6PC KG STG BRS-******* PRCHMNT with one **** #: ******** KG ****-***** BRIGERTON MEDIUM and one **** #: ******** **** ****-***** BRIGERTON SOFT. Delivery *** set for December 17 2024 between 3:30 and 6:30 pm. Time was switched to 1:30 to 3:30, then again from **** to 6:30, then again from 6:30 to 9:30. Drivers didnt show up until 9:45 and didnt Finnish until 12:30 am. The drivers while backing up to my house caught and ripped my cable and fiber optic off my house damaging my siding and cable anchor. Carried furniture into house and made a major ***** in my drywall and dented my corner bead, also only delivered one of the poufs. Left trash in my driveway as part of the elite delivery service the headboard on one set has several gouges in it and staines in the footboard cushion of the other set. Value city furniture had set up replacement of the footboard for New Years Eve 12/31/24 and I stayed at home all day waiting for a call, email or some kind of confirmation and never came. Called value city this morning and they said it shows that it was delivered so someone is not doing their job. Also was to have the second pour delivered and I got a phone call stating that that would now not be available until 12/9/25 and headboard delivery for 12/3/25. This is by far the worst service I have ever had in an order/deliver service as a whole with the damage to my new house.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
I was supposedly scheduled for delivery today, 1/29/25 as was discussed over the phone with value city to have the headboard and footboard replaced and once again they were a no call no show as usual. Still very disappointed and agitated at the fact that this has been ongoing since my $9,100.00 cash order was made mid November. Please resolve. My kids deserve the bedroom suite that I had ordered them. It has been over 2 months.

I purchased a couch from value city and it arrived on September 27th 2024. When it arrived I noticed that one of the pillows had a brown stain on it. I called value city and they told me to provide photos which I did. They then told me that they would ship a new one to me. It has been 3 months and I have called 5x and I keep getting different answers. I would like a refund for the couch pillow or for them to send me a replacement. They should not be sending dirty or used furniture to customers, not when they are advertising their products as new.Business Response

Hi,
I filed a complaint against value city for sending me a dirty stained pillow with my new couch. The business said that they are waiting for the pillow shipment and that they would provide a replacement. It has been 6 months and they still have yet to send me a replacement pillow or resolve the issue. Despite their bbb response, I have not heard from the business at all nor have they reached out to me to resolve the issue. I would like a refund for my pillow.

Bought the Nest sofa, along with a 5 year warranty. Within 2-3 months, I noticed the seam on one of the cushions was splitting. We notified Value City and after numerous phone calls/emails etc they sent someone to look at it. He returned a couple of weeks later with a new cover. A few weeks later, the new cover was splitting, and after inspection, the other two are as well. I put in a new claim for all the covers and Value City rejected it even after purchasing their extended warranty.Business Response

Date of Transaction: 11/02/2024 Date of Delivery: 12/17/2024 All items delivered were damaged or missing. Spoke with the operations manager (*****) on 12/17 who stated he would rectify the dining room table set and my son's bed (no hardware or slats to put together) and have it rectified 12/23/2024. Later I received a message from another manager to attempt to rectify the issue (who was very nice and helpful). She stated she would send me a temporary dining set and have my son's bed put together to get me through the holidays. Monday, 12/23, the temporary table was delivered, but again the hardware for my son's bed was not available and when the mattress was removed, the bedframe had damage. This information was relayed to VFC again, and once again my 10 yo had to sleep on the couch because he did not have a bed to sleep on. It is now 12/26 and it has not been resolved. My husband and I are police officers and cannot continue to take off from work because VCF keeps mismanaging our order. On Thursday the 26th, they put my son's bed together, but the footboard is still damaged, so that is not attached.Friday we received a text stating a delivery was coming between 215 and 515 and there was no delivery. VCF was contacted again and I was told they would look into it. There has been no response since yesterday at 556pm.All items still damaged and no estimate on when the items will be delivered (items ordered on 11/2/2024).Missing items:Dresser Night stands (x2)Chaise (espresso)Dining Table Set (for 6) - originally damaged Damaged items Queen sleigh bed Console with 3 stoolsBusiness Response

Items were missing from the delivery. Items delivered were scratched. The delivery truck broke down in our driveway and we were not able to use it for over 6 hours. One car was blocked in as well. When the tow company finally arrived after 9pm on 1/4/2025, they damaged our driveway while attempting to tow the delivery truck. We are still without a dresser, two nightstands and a chaise that was ordered in the beginning of November and scheduled to be delivered on 12/17/2024.
The delivery on 1/4/2025, the delivery company did not have the hardware to put the table together. I had to contact the store and they sent a technician out to put the table together. I wouldnt think that new items would have scratches on them or dirt marks on the seats. Also the fact that this is the 5th or 6th mishap and compensation from the store for the amounts of times weve had to take off from work, still dealing with missing items and damaged items being delivered. Its unacceptable.

I am rejecting this response because: Nothing was delivered on the 8th. I received notification that I could be and NO ONE showed up. I am still missing two night stands, a dresser and chaise. I contacted *** on 01/09/2025 and asked her to check on it because a delivery was never made. She stated shed look into it and I havent heard anything since.I spoke with customer service yesterday morning 1/14 and was advised that ***** (another manager) would contact me (yesterday 1/14) and advise when my missing items would be delivered. Im still waiting on that phone call.
I have been told by several managers at VCF that you all have a new system thats doesnt function appropriately. So please advise when the two nightstands, dresser and chaise will be delivered ASAP. Its been almost a month since the first mishap with delivery (with 4-5 mishaps in between. Items were ordered 11/02/2024. This is becoming ridiculous and unacceptable.

On December 7, 2024, I purchased a table and chairs for $499.00 with a delivery fee of $189.00. The delivery was scheduled for December 27. They called me the day before and said the furniture would be delivered between 11:15 and 2:15. I waited all day and the furniture was never delivered. Nobody ever called. Finally, I called and was told the tabletop was not available for the delivery. They never called me and told me that, they just let me wait all day wondering where it was. I still have no resolution, they dont know when I will get the furniture. I want this resolved immediately. I want my furniture, and I want free delivery. And I think they should give me the furniture for free.Business Response

We placed an order for a sectional 11/27/24 and were told that the delivery date would be 12/28/24 (already one month but understandable because of the holidays and sales). 12/26/24 2 days prior to our delivery date we receive a call that tells us that one piece of our sectional is missing but they are going to deliver the rest and that the missing piece cannot come until February 8, 2024. Obviously we were not happy about this but felt as though we had no choice but to accept it. The next day 12/27/24 we receive a call saying the the delivery date was pushed back to 1/10/24 but would not allow me to ask if that was going to be the whole couch or partial. She literally kept interrupting me and hung up on me. So I called the store I bought it from to get answers. He called the warehouse only to find out that the information given to me about one piece being missing was FALSE. Only one piece is available and that the entire sectional is not going to be delivered until 2/8/25. I am concerned that this is not true, based on how this has gone there is no trust that the furniture will actually arrive 2/8/25. From reading previous complaints this seems to be common practice for Value City Furniture. These delays are not COVID or holiday related it just seems to be the way they do business and its unacceptable.Business Response

Complaint: 22736611
I am rejecting this response because: It is not acceptable to blame the manufacturer for Value Citys bad business. Im pretty sure all of us with the same complaint did not order the same furniture made by the same manufacturer. If this is Value Citys scapegoat response please name the manufacturer so I can file a complaint and perhaps a class action against them. Perhaps value city should evaluate its relationships with such manufacturers because its reputation is adversely affected by their bad business.As far as estimates delivery dates, you should train your sales people to explicitly state that and made the customers sign something acknowledging that delivery dates are estimated. I cant estimate taking off work to sit and wait for furniture that never comes.
I called and got the delivery fee refunded but will still expect a discount for having to wait months with no furniture and Value Citys poor customer service, bad business and non transparent delivery policies.

Dear ******* ******
I'm sorry we didn't deliver the level of service you expected and deserve. However we are able to offer you fair compensation on your order due to the delays and experience. We are prepared to offer you 15% off of your purchase. The total amount you paid for your order is $2749.81. 15% off of your order would be $412.47.
A refund was already processed back for 12/27/24 for compensation, So we will process the difference of $198.48. We will not be able to process additional compensation after this.Please allow 3-5 business days for processing.

After complaining, the store replaced the cushion cover. Next the wooden frame broke. Again we contacted the warranty company. They had to replace the piece of furniture, but they don't cover delivery. They wanted to charge half the cost of the furniture, for a delivery fee.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We are sorry for any frustration this has caused you. After reviewing your invoice on 177-3606.
Unfortunaly. your claim falls under the extended warranty plan, The plan only covers an authorized replacement for any claims approved. The plan does not cover transporation fees. If you prefer to have the replacement delivered you will have to pay for delivery, if not you can request to pickup the replacement.
We will not be able to assist you in this matter, due to this being a extended warranty claim,

We ordered furniture in October with an original delivery date at Nov 23. Nov 22 came around and we hadnt received any pre call confirmation on delivery so we went to the store and they informed us the delivery was pushed out and apologized that nobody called to inform us. With thanksgiving just 2 days away they agreed to give us a loaner set for the time being. The new delivery was for Dec 23, we received a call on December 17 stating the delivery date was pushed out again until January. On December 19 we decided to purchase a living room set from a different retailer. We went into the store to cancel our existing order and were told **** has to handle it but he wasnt in until Dec 20. After not receiving a call back Dec 20, we went back into the store to speak with **** in person. He claims he never got the message and apologized, agreeing to call us the next day on Dec 21, to schedule a pick up time and refunded us for our cancelled order. We informed him we had a new set coming on Dec 24 from another retailer and needed the loaner set picked up ****. Dec 21 came and no call. The next day on Dec 22 **** called at 10:56 am stating the loaner furniture would be picked up the following day on the 23rd and he would confirm a time with us later. Dec 23, no call back and nobody showed to pick up the furniture. Dec 24, our new set was delivered and we still had the loaner furniture. Called the store at 5:53 pm and **** wasnt available per usual. But a *** was relaying messages from him saying they are trying to work it out and would call us back. Its now Dec ******************************************** my living room. Called at 10:30 am and **** refused to help find a solution saying its not happening today and then proceeded to hang up on me and will now not answer our calls. My living room is so crowded we werent even able to put up a tree for our kids and had to host Christmas at a family members house.Business Response

We purchased 4 leather recliners and they were delivered damaged on Nov 7. We have emailed and called numerous times. They stated their process was to send someone out to either fix the leather or replace it. Nov 22 a repair man came to the house and stated they could not be repaired and had to be replaced. He would relay information to manager and they would be in touch. We still have not heard from the company about a replacement.Business Response

Nothing has been delivered. They constantly change the date then do not show up. And they never notify you. I am emailing someone from the company but she has no power over the delivery section. Please do not close my complaint until we actually receive a replacement or refund.Business Response

It has been ongoing since it was delivered, which was months ago.
