Dear Ms. ************* do apologize that this has been your experience with our company. We want to put forth our very best effort to resolve your complaint.
While we understand your frustrations, this piece is not under warranty. Please see the breakdown below:
You purchased the original 47.4"LED FRPLE-*******, in July 2022.
You filed a *******/Pure Promise (extended warranty) claim, and you were approved for a full replacement.
You picked up the replacement on 6/1/2023.
You did not re-purchase the extended warranty-Uniters/Pure Promise on the new 47.4"LED FRPLE-*******. You only had the 1-year warranty.
You called in on 2/20/24 and needed service, we do not service electrical pieces and we were going to set up an exchange, the piece was picked up, and for us to deliver the exchange the delivery fee needed to be paid and you refused. The exchange was then canceled.
You called in on 10/5/24 needing help filling a claim through the extended warranty, you did not purchase the extended warranty.
We did a courtesy service and per our certified technician, the mirror is discolored on the bottom by the firebox, and he did not see any manufacturing defects, looks like something was spilled on the piece.
The damage is not a manufacturing defect and therefore not covered.
We sent you your receipt on 10/31/24 and I resent this to you today, 11/4/24.
Our **************** does not take customer calls, you would need to talk to our Resolution Team.
This invoice cannot be refunded or exchanged.
We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. If you have any further questions or concerns, you may contact our ************* Team at ************.

9/8/24 I purchased a sofa, love seat & entertainmentwall from Value City. I was told due to a backorder on reclining love seat the order would be delayed for delivery until 10/17/24. We financed our purchase through the store made first payment beginning of October, prior to our delivery date. 10/16/24 **** from the warehouse calked, the backordered item received was the wrong piece, maunal instead of power. **** offered to deliver it credit my account $100 & reorder correct piece. **** told me that he could reoder until after delivery. At delivery it was also pointed out that furniture was bent. 10/19/24 I called store told order not placed. Spoke to supervisor ****, who was unable to place the order. He could not tell me why. He commited to call me back. 10/22/24 called store. No order. I called the corporate with my complaint. Corporate office offered to compensate me, transfered me to the store. Spoke to ****, refuseing additional compensation. Could not confirm replacement order. 10/23/24 went to store due to return policy time & returned furniture keeping the entertainment only. Pick up scheduled 10/31/24. Once received will issue credut. 10/31/24 called store on pick up told return was not scheduled, told soonest would be 11/7/24. I called corporate supervisor "*****" Corporate Customer Care Columbus Ohio. I asked 2 B compensated 4 inconvenience and abuse of my credit. ***** refused. Asked why, told because I returned the merchandise. I explained that I was keeping the wall entertainment stand and still financing through them. The price on that item alone is $2999.98. ***** refused to further compensate. When asked
for a supervisor above her she told me that there was no one else to talk to. I am seeking to be compensated for this horrible experience and abuse of my credit through their financing.

I have tried to work with value city as stated the delivery date was scheduled for 11/5/24- the date was cancelled as no one was aware of delivery
**** a manager contacted me and assured me he would follow up on delivery which was to take place Wednesday 11/7/24 the delivery was confirmed once again for 11/7/24 between 7am-10:15
received a call from **** 4:34 11/6/24 stating the delivery would not take place as items were damaged and no available stock was in place. He was unsure when I would get delivery stated hopefully by this week
I am very dissatisfied with the lack of resolution and follow through
Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:
the delivery date was cancelled again with no future date proposed. I spoke with **** the manager? Who could not tell me when another date would be offered. Stating chairs were damaged
I asked about a restocking fee **** stated it’s whatever the store manager stated it’s obvious he is not aware of value city policies. I just incur a fee in case I am not made whole. Once again I rearranged my work hours for this delivery that was confirmed by **** as well as phone call
I am very dissatisfied with the lack of follow through

This business is simply bad. 10/5/24 - Went to the store to look at living room furniture. Found a set I like. Purchased and told delivery would occur 10/10/24 between the hours of 11:15am - 2:15pm. Delivery men arrived 8:45am. I was told one piece of the furniture was damaged and they didn't pack it on the truck. I was told someone should have called me to relayed this message. Of course no one called. In addition, the lamp I ordered was marred. I called the store at 10am and was told I needed to send an email with pictures and details about the marred lamp and the missing piece of furniture to ************************* I sent the email. I never got a call from anyone related to the email. I went back to the store and spoke to an assistant manager. I explained that i was missing a piece of furniture and that the lamp I purchased was marred and I needed a replacement. The assistant manager explained they had a new computer system and they were having some problems with it. He told me that the pieces were in and that they were scheduled for delivery on 10/16/24 between 1:30pm-4:30pm. Please note this would be the second time I stayed home to receive the furniture. At 4pm I called the store to determine if the delivery was still coming as I had not received a call or text that the delivery was delayed. I was told the delivery would not be coming. I decided to go to the store to understand what had happened. I arrived at the store and spoke to the manager. The manager looked in the system and noted my items had come in. Naturally I asked why they had not been delivered. She called the delivery warehouse and was told the items were not in. At that point I asked them to simply come pick up the furniture. I had to wait until the next delivery window. I had a pick-up scheduled for 10/30/24. I called the store 10/29/24 to confirm the scheduled pickup on 10/30/24 between 3:30pm-6:30pm. I'm typing this on 10/30/24 at 6:09pm expecting no one to come.

I bought this couch back in November of 2022. I have tried to get in contact with customer service on getting the couch replaced or a refund for the whole year of having it. By the time they got my request, someone came out to look at the couch(they said nothing was really wrong with it but put a request for rand new parts), and getting the new parts which were random ones it took another 3 months past the year ***** I got the parts replaced and not even 3 months later the couch was already ripping. Let alone the guy that came to replace the parts was not professional at all and I felt very uncomfortable. The pillows didn't even last a month and started shredding nor did I even get enough to replace all of the original ones. Not even a two year old couch it looks like we have had it for 5 plus years. The quality is horrible. Every time I try to contact someone at customer service they say they cant help since its past the window of one year and I am done trying to contact someone and not get any resolution. Spending $2,400 on a couch is a lot of money to some people and an investment that should last.

My name is **** *****. I live at ******************************************************. My customer ID number is *****************. We came to value city on August 11 of 2024. We ordered two nightstands and two dressers. We ordered the bedframe the next day but thats not the complaint I have its for the remaining order. They had told us that the dressers and nightstands were in stock so we were expecting on getting them. They told us that the headboard was not in stock, so we were going to wait the next day they call us and tell us that the headboard is in stock but the dressers are not so we said OK so they brought the headboard and the nightstands one of which was damaged. The delivery *** said he would do a replacement of the damage nightstand as of today, which is October 21, 2024 we have not received that. We have been waiting on our dressers since August they were supposed to be delivered August 22 of 2024. They got them in only one, and it was broke , so they had to re-order when the next order came in which was only one was broken so now its October 21 and it says that we should receive our two dressers by October 31, 2024. We are very frustrated with this order. We have been waiting for months very patiently and being told that they would be in and then they come in broken so we have been without a dresser that we ordered in August now its October. We should get some kind of discount this order for all the trouble of us waiting and not getting our order, this has been a ridiculous experience which Im very unsatisfied with and the people there are only saying that this should be in on this time and this should be in on this time and weve waited and waited and waited. Like I say we have been very patient, but our patient is wearing out , so if theres anyway you can resolve this, that would be wonderful, but if we dont get our order this time, we are canceling it and never shopping at your store again. Hopefully it wont come to that.

I am rejecting this response because:

The request for a covered warranty repair was submitted in June, and the delay has far exceeded any reasonable waiting period. Despite numerous phone calls, each conversation sets a new target date. It appears that VCF is not respecting customers' time or the ********************** of their money. The response times are NOT ACCEPTABLE!!

We have requested certain repairs for the sectional in June 2024. We were told that parts were ordered and I call every month to only to find that there is no update on parts and the company has no clue when the parts will arrive. Last time when I spoke/ raised a complain in October, I was told that Parts will come on Dec 4th and since then I have called multiple times and has no answer from the service department.

Went to American Signature Furniture and found item I wanted. Sales *** offered 50 months interest free. I gladly accepted and a week later I even called and ordered another piece. Furniture delivered, 1 piece damaged and then I got my bill and it was not accurate - the 50 months no interest was not applied. I contacted the finance company they sent me back to the store where purchased, so I call them. **** (says he is the manager) tells me he will send the details to the finance company and I will see it on the next billing cycle. Billing cycle came and went, new bill arrives and no change so I called back again and STILL I cannot get them to make the required adjustments but they will come and pick up the items and offer a full refund minus 250 delivery fee. I have not received a single drop of customer service or even slightest empathy. All **** said was I will send someone to pick it all up, wouldn't even provide any assistance, talked to me like I was inconveniencing HIM, never providing any solutions or what he would do to resolve it. Quick to tell me he will send someone out to pick up the stuff though. **** and American Signature Furniture's' extreme lack of customer service, has made me dislike - almost HATE the items I so loved and have been happy with, but if this cannot be resolved I will be forced to send it all back. I also have a item they will not assist in getting fixed, when it was DELIVERED DAMAGED. I either get ZERO callback, speaking rude when I do get ahold of someone or nothing at all. I've had these items a little over a month for reference. (delivery date was September 11, 2024)

Dear Mr. ********************* you for bringing this matter to our attention. We are so sorry that you had a negative experience.Our company takes pride in delivering the absolute best service to every customer.
While we understand your frustrations, the 50 months promo cannot be combined with any discounts, you have 15% off, Synchrony will not allow us to combine them. We cannot make this change.
We have set up an exchange for your console, you are set for delivery on 10/23/24.
You are past the 7-day return policy;we cannot return the pieces.
We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. If you have any further questions or concerns, you may contact our ************* Team at ************.

[If you do not say why you are rejecting the company's response, BBB must close your complaint.]

Complaint: 22437454

I am rejecting this response because: **** (manager) advised when I first discovered the error he would send the notification to Synchroncy and
amend the plan details to reflect the 50 months, said I would see it on the next billing statement which I did not see it, so I called back on the day I filled out this complaint.
Thats when he (YOUR STORE MANAGER **** - if he even really is) offered to come pick up the items and refund me minus 250 restock so YOUR manager offered to pick it all up after the 7-day return policy without trying to make this right first. The expectations have already been set by YOUR store manager, and I expect them to be completed as he promised not once, but twice as well as others who took messages for him on the many many times I have had to call and chase him down. I stated to the salesman I wanted the 50 months, he said not a problem, when it wasnt setup I called back and this is what I have been dealing with since the items were delivered. I shouldnt as a customer have to chase down what was promised to me, and this is why I submitted this complaint because its YOUR store reponsibility to ensure all promises made to the customer are kept and upheld in the event there is an issue.
On a side note: The store is delivering a replacement of the damaged console tomorrow so part of this is resolved, I just need the bait and switch that took place corrected to the 50 months and not the 12.

Regards,

Dear Mr. *************** do apologize that this has been your experience with our company. We want to put forth our very best effort to resolve your complaint.
Again, the 50-month promo cannot be combined with any discounts, you have 15% off, and Synchrony will not allow us to combine them. We cannot make this change. Please see the link below for their policy:
************************************************
Please see attached policy:
50 Months Special Financing
50 months no interest on single-receipt qualifying purchases of $2999 or more made with your Designer Looks Credit Card. Equal monthly payments required for 50 months. Promo fee of 2% of amount financed will be included in required monthly payments. Not combinable with Doorbusters, Top Deals, Special Purchases, Closeouts or other storewide offers. A promo fee, equal to 2% of the amount financed at time of purchase, will be shown as a separate transaction on your billing statement and included in the balance subject to this promo. Any taxes,delivery or other charges included in the amount financed will increase the related promo fee and the required monthly payments. For example, a $950 purchase with $50 in taxes and shipping costs, will be charged a promo fee equal to $20 and $1,020 will be charged to your account. No interest will be charged on the amount financed (including related promo fee) and equal monthly payments are required on such balance until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed (including related promo fee) divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months rounding. Any estimated required monthly payments shown (which may exclude taxes and delivery) in connection with this promotional offer should allow you to pay off the amount financed within the promo period if (1) you make your payments by the due date each month and (2) this is the only balance on your account during the promo period. If you have other balances on your account, this monthly payment will be added to the minimum payment applicable to those balances. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 7/16/24: Purchase APR *****%. Penalty APR *****%. Min Interest Charge $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.
The store manager sent the request to Synchrony to make the change, it is up to Synchrony to make the change, we cannot.
We have set up an exchange for your console, you are set for delivery on 10/23/24, between 11:30-2:30 pm.
We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. If you have any further questions or concerns, you may contact our ************* Team at ************.

I was reimbursed with a store credit for a warranty item in late spring, early summer of 2024. I went in to use the credit on our about Labor Day weekend. I purchased two items, a bed, that was purchased from the floor, it was discounted and picked up the day of purchase, and a chest. The chest needed to be ordered.Upon cashing out Cam, store manager, advised the credit covered the bed. The dresser I needed to finance so I did. At the time, I did not request delivery of the chest. When the chest came in it was my intent to pick it up, but I had no assistance to do do. So I requested it be delivered. Delivery was scheduled and $169.99 cost was added to the purchase. Prior to delivery I canceled the chest all together. Which means there should have been no delivery fee. I received notice that I had an outstanding balance from the credit provider, I did not understand why, because the bed was paid in full, and the dresser was canceled. I could not get this resolved, even with myself, the credit provider and the store on a call so I went directly to the ******** the store I talked to ****** and she removed the delivery fee, after I pushed that the bed was NOT delivered. So $169.99 for delivery was removed. Which should have been considering nothing was delivered. Then we discussed why $149.99 or some odd dollars that was still owed for the bed when the bed was covered by the reimbursement. ****** could not answer that question and said she would need to consult with Cam and call me back on 10/16/24. I have not received a call.I just need to know where the credit is. Was it assigned to another customer, has someone from the store taken it. I am lost as to why this cannot be tracked when there is a transferring of money at a large company.When I call to talk to someone the managers are always "busy" or in a "meeting". Please help me with closing this out and getting the reimbursement promised to me along with a $0 owed receipt.

Dear ***** *****,

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. After reviewing the history on your invoice 175-129385. Our records show that your Pure Promise Rebate was used on the 7-Drawer Chest/Base Concerto. The rebate used was for $139.99. The history also shows that the item was returned. If a item is returned you lose the rebate, just like you would lose a promotional coupon if it was offered. There is no history showing that the Pure Promise Rebate was ever used on the Omni Queen *** for $149.99.

Thank you
Resolution Supervisor
